When I learned how this song came about it means even more!
Hope you enjoy my interpretation!
Lyrics:
I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
I go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothin' but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Messages keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Emily is amazing! She takes a Bruce Springsteen tune with his grating voice and impulse energy and transforms it into a heart wrenching love ballad. What an astounding performer she is. Bravo Emily another fine achievement! Thank you, from the depths of my heart!
Thanks for listening
@@EmilyLinge My Pleasure you made my day!
I'm almost 70. Heard that song million times. This first time I caught all the lyrics. So beautifully sung. I've recently listened to your Beatles renditions and loved them to. You're young, but no beginner. Persevere!
She sang very emotionally and artistically, bravo! I've been a fan of yours since the beginning of 2024. Good luck and happiness to you.❤
Prefect song for you . One of my favorites. Nice outfit for this song. Keep the faith
How beautiful you play that melody, it is one of those that we eighties have tattooed on our souls, thanks for such a beautiful interpretation and thanks for the beautiful memories... I really miss your big smile at the end of the video
Great artists can reach out and touch your sole, you are doing this. This is your best one yet, followed by your brilliant Whiter Shade of Pale.
Thanks so much Emily. You are talented and beautiful in equal measure. Use well the days. 👌👍
Я из России. Люблю многие твои каверы и оригинальные песни. А эта интерпретация одна из лучших. ❤
Springsteen’s mother, Adele, 97, is struggling with Alzheimer’s. “She can’t speak, she can’t feed herself, can’t stand up by herself, but she still smiles, she still has that dancing spirt”, he says. Springsteen opened up about his mother’s current health status during one of his acoustic “Springsteen on Broadway” shows, playing Dancing in the Dark for her.
The Boss is smiling after hearing this wonderful cover ❤️
😊
Emily, your enunciation is as clear as any I've ever heard, and you've kept it that way as your other skills have grown.
God's answer to misheard lyrics.
Can hear every word without my HA. ❤
Yeah, I hope ppl can appreciate her masterful playing and singing, the vocal agility and everything else too, plus the perfect blending of some syncopated parts.
Bruce is a misunderstood poet, partly because nobody can understand a word he says. This was beautiful. Bruce should hire her to sing all his songs.
I just watched this cover again. Definitely one of your best. Absolutely masterful.
Bruce himself would probably adore this. Really just superb in every way.
Hey Emily! Classic Bruce! Incredible! One day a song of yours will be described as classic Emily❗❗❗😃
Excellent twist on a great song. No point in doing a straight copy with a track like this. Absolutely nailed it.
Well ,all right, this is a seriously great rendition of this song. I never really knew the words until now. LOL.
Lovely rendition by Emily
Some young singers have elders soul.
Emily is putting you tube on fire with her music she has a beautiful sounding voice and such a Beauty.
Thank you Emily Linge beautiful song 🎵 be safe
Emily you've made this song so completely and beautifully your very own and now I must listen to Springsteen's original with your amazingly wonderful rendition in mind! Congratulations, this is a great success!
Yes I had the same idea..Gee it's simplicity is ...
I didn't think that I would like a slowed down version of this Springsteen song yet when Emily does it magic occurs. When I hear the Bruce Springsteen recording on the radio from now on, I will be thinking Emily....
Hi Elvan, you know, I have discovered that Emily has the special ability to hear a song, and just immediately know what needs to be changed, in order to make it sound better. I mean over and above just her voice which always trumps any other. She finds that special something that, even if you thought the song was perfect the way it was, always changes it to a better version. I’ve told her that. In every single case, I have loved her version of a song more than the original.
You hit this one out of the park!
Wow just wow.!
Thats all i can say.😘 You Lingefied this song. TY.
Magnificent! Exceedingly Great! Thanks. Take care and God bless.
Thank you! You too!
Great Video of a great song. I cannot wait to see and hear your videos.
I can't find words good enough to describe the perfection ❤️
Thank you so much 😀
Brilliant!
Holy Bajeazers! Wow. Listen and watch closely. Perfection and singing with braces. This young lady is going places. Bravo!
First let's get the look out of the way. Love the hair cut and the style. Black leather suits you well. Now for the classic Bruce Springsteen cover. You nailed it girl. You braught something new and wonderful to this cover. Thank you. Take care and be safe. xox
Thank you!
Wow what a totally brilliant version of Bruce's high tempo song. Slowed down and beautifully sung. Well done again Emily !!
Thank you!
It's famously a dark song. The tempo of his version is kind of deceptive.
Emily, I absolutely love what you’ve done with your cover of this song making this song into a ballad was very clever and sounds amazing I love this version thank you so much an awesome performance 👏👏🙏🙏❤️❤️🎤🎤🎸🎸
beautiful,beautiful,beautiful!!!
Bruce Springsteen, WOW, another Blast from my Past Emily, and you were fantastic on this Cover!! Noticed the New Hair! Keep em coming, Thanks so much
I’m always amazed at how a true artist can listen to a song and hear endless possibilities beyond the original.
Springsteen will be blown away by this arrangement.
Just a guitar and your voice... and we heard a nice song. Thank you!
Thanks, another beautiful song!
Beautiful performance of this great song, Emily! I always appreciate the clarity of the lyrics and the musicality of your singing. Thank you for starting off this week with this amazing cover. Hope you have an awesome week!
Thank you! You too!
Hey lady in black, it's always a pleasure to hear and see you! Many, many thanks
Thanks for listening
I had to stop and think how is she gonna do this song. Great job girl nice and slow beautiful. Thanks for this one
A beautiful transformation of the song. Another example your ability to own the music you preform.
To see someone find what they love to do, have the talent and drive to achieve it , and the support from those around them to follow that path is a special thing to witness. Your light is shining bright.
Miss Emily... this cover was really extra SPECIAL! You made my day big BIG time just when I needed something to raise my spirits!!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!!! It is much appreciated !!! 🎶🌷🎶❤🎶🌷🎶
Have a WONDERDAY DAY!!! 💐
Hi, very cool interpretation of a classic Springsteen song. My favorite next to "Thunder Road".
Love ❤❤
Emily, Beautiful rendition of Springsteen’s song… A real change up. You are amazing… and I really like the hair style. Makes you look extra beautiful!
Thank you!
Another beautiful cover version. Fantastic rendering.
This is beautiful, so different but so beautiful. Acoustic and quiet and slow. I remember singing this song on a bus with a group of (college) students as we returned to our town after a meeting, 35 years ago, It was so frenetic but your version is so acoustic and beautiful. Love your music, Emily!
I'm a Jersey boy. Grew up on Bruce and even met him around town. Love your renditions. Don't stop.
Super Performance of this Song .
As a lifetime fan of Bruce, I must say that was tremendously splendid.
Sweet 🥰🤗🧸🌹 I'm sure that Bruce would love to hear this from you.. Well done 👍💯😊
WOW! You look and sound SPECTACULAR! I love how you've taken it down a notch and Emilyzed it. Love the black boots and your hair looks beautiful. You are on your way to SUPERSTAR status.
Walking in the park!🚶♀️💛😊
Thanks for listening
Outstanding! Just happened on the video and was overwhelmed by your version of this song. What a lovely voice. You made me love music again ........
Such a beautiful voice, Great guitar work!
Thank you for appreciating my generation!
More people like YOU Please!
très belle reprise à la guitare grande performance très belle vois magnifique sublime Emily Merci .
Wow so cool
I'm in love with the voice👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful song
Perfect and Amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
How can anybody fill this song with more soul and feeling than it already has in the original version. Incredibly and unbelieveable. But you can. 🥰
Wow! You are a very talented young lady!!
OMG, why hasnt this girl been noticed by a record producer? What are they looking for? Emily has everything, she can sing, play the piano, plays the guitar, and she's gorgeous. Bruce would love this acoustic version. Awesome Emily!!
Thank you kindly!
It's almost like every song she covers is a completely new song, but always refreshing somehow, almost like the song was originally hers, familiar, of course, but so distinct and from another dimension, so peaceful. :)
I just had to come back to this song once more. The way you deconstructed the song, made the arrangement more interesting, and your vocals and playing on this one was maybe the most captivating of all the covers you have done.
Love your breathing dear Emily. It suits your exceptional presentation of your lovely vocals. Cheers hun!!!
Beautiful and slower tempo very nice emily. Wow your hair
💥🧡💛🌝🔥🌜
Thank you!
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you!!
You're such a great singer, this is fire!!!!

It all good looks, good sounds, perfect pitch... its all very polished..life aint that way.. I like real stuff... This is just too perfect, almost lifeless
Wonderful music in a wonderful voice.
Thank you Emily! Wow, you put a lot of heart in this performance. I could feel it. ❤👍
Unbelievable!
AWE SUM NESS I would be Sobbing if i was Springsteen watching' this ! WoWEE !
Love that song. Keep on rockin Emily Linge.
Such a pretty rendition, with your usual fine vocals, and in a nice, slow tempo to make the song brand new. Thank you, Emily. Excellent.
Thank you so much!
I have become a big fan of Emily I hope she succeeds in everything she does but still keeps her innocence as she proceeds.
Excellent presentation. I loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You look and sound beautiful in the dark and light. Dance 💃
Oh thank you!
When I see a new video from you, I know it will make my day, but this times, I had goosebumps 👏
Thank you again for sharing, Emily 👍
Wow... A girl so talented and beautiful singing/playing a classic song from "The Boss" ! 👏
Ohhh Myyy , that's pretty cool .
👏 👏 👏 . You really make them yours everytime .
WOW! Amazing! Your voice just keeps getting better! Well Done! PS You look beautiful, thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you too!
Wow... I think you started a fire without a spark! 👏👏👏👏👏😊, brilliant performance Emily.
The slow treatment brings out a wistfulness and angst in the lyrics we hardly noticed until Emily comes along. Thanks sweetheart for once again bringing out the best in these oldies. Your taste is unerring.
Just watched again and paid close attention to your face. You "live" this song. Makes me think YOU wrote it. WORLD CLASS!
This was never one of my favorite Springsteen songs but Emily's completely original take of this is brilliant, sounds great. I believe Emily's voice is maturing as she grows up, she sounds great on this.
I’ve listened to the song hundreds of times but this is the first time I’ve been really moved by the lyrics. Wow:)
As Steven V S says, when you do a cover, it should be spectacularly different or simply spectacular. Emily's done both, sweet performance.
This is a very lovely interpretation of Dancing In The Dark. I am not sure you could call this a cover, not entirely anyway. You pretty much created an entirely new song, setting a new mood over the original in my opinion. My jaw dropped the first time I heard it. It still sends a delightful, yet wistful like chill through me when I still listen to it. Very well done indeed young lady.
A beautiful and fresh rendition of a classic Springsteen anthem. Thank you, Emily, for this wonderful performance!
I absolutely enjoyed your slowed down version immensely Emily!!!!!! This rendition flowed so Beautifully!!!!!!!❤
Beautiful song sung by a beautiful and talented young woman. I look forward and seek for your new covers everyday. Thank you Emily.
A beautiful song and a lovely singer.
Your voice is the spark that has lit a fire and put both light and warmth into my life: yet another beautiful cover/rendition. x
Thank you!
I feel like this is the way that this song should have been played, slowed down to really convey the meaning. I never thought I would shed a tear listening to a song I've heard Springsteen sing so many times! Not to disparage the Boss, just sometimes the meaning gets lost in making a song faster so that Courtney Cox can dance to it. 😂
And Emily, you have that amazingly down to earth voice that just allows people to connect to the words and feel the soul of the song. 😎
An auditory and visual pleasant experience that is so welcome. Thank you Emily
Thanks for listening
Emily, You made this song yours. With your talent, beauty, poise and charm you are a treasure. Your future is so bright and I hope you get all that you deserve.
Amazing cover Emily brilliant
I LOVE YOUR SONG SELECTION and YOUR PERFORMANCES!! And I love all of your videos!! Thank you Emily!!
Your whole life in music is ahead of you Emily and what a wonderful thing for the world to look forward to! So beautiful x
I love such covers when the singers infuse an existing song with a new sensuality...
