"Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland - Cover by Emily Linge

Special thanks to Simon Tomkins for the acoustic guitar track.
Thanks also to @elvisgaragic9104 from @SoundStruckStudios Dubai, for the mix/mastering.

Hope you enjoy my interpretation!

"Over the Rainbow" was composed by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Yip Harburg. It was written for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz and was sung by actress Judy Garland.

Lyrics:
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
In the land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way above the chimney tops that's where
You'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way above the chimney tops that's where
You'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then oh why can’t I?

If happy little blue birds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

So touching

Judy is smiling down at this rendition!

[wolfstar_productions]

All of OZ, especially Judy would be proud of you Emily. This is most beautiful.

[mikeh]

Finally someone that does the song and doesn't try to be someone that she's not! Beautiful Emily!

[mikeduncan]

When I get a notification that Emily Linge is in the house, I stop whatever I’m doing and just listen to a beautiful young lady with a beautiful voice.

[infildibulum]

Awesome, So refreshing to hear it sung with out any of the modern day warbling bit in it.

[KarolinaProtsenkoFansChannel]

Very beautiful again Emily, thank you

[tazrugby]

I am 64 years old. As many times as i have heard this in my life, I just realized I never paid attention to the lyrics of this song until I just heard you sing it. Thank you.

[roberttroesch-edamsaskcana]

Just the perfect remedy for a minus 30C degree Saskatchewan morning, listening to and watching my favourite singer warm our hearts with her beautiful appearance and voice!!! Thank you Emily!!!

[reycfd]

Emily Linge is creating a new revolution of music, going back to the basics - clear lyrics, beautiful voice and unintrusive musical instruments!

[briansmith]

What a Classic!! Not ashamed to say it everytime here this song it brings a tear to my eye. Thank you

[chrispaul]

Excellent rendition of this classic, with such fine guitar accompanying you. You deserve the hundreds of nice compliments left for you in these comments, Emily. Thank you.

[briandutcher]

Because it was my daughter's favorite song, it also became mine. I have heard many butcher it. Rarely have I heard anyone other than Judy do it justice untill this performance by Miss Emily. Thank you young lady.

[dennis]

I really admire and respect how she doesn't feel the need to use all the vocal gymnastics that they use on all the TV audition shows. This is beautiful, slightly complex, and mostly straightforward.

[giannie]

Your singing is timeless and pitch perfect. I just love everything you do. A bright star. And your love of Beatles music just melts my soul.

[takebackamerica.]

Such softness and warmth in her voice.

[BillChildnjoy]

Love everything about this and your perfornace.. The song was sung to your own great styling and you looked great .... loved the Starry like sparkly rainbow behind you (well it could be a rainbow!!)...Anyway thanks 😊.. Did I say how GREAT I found it? 💯

[fredanderson]

I love your choices of music to sing. Fantastic job on this classic and beautiful song. Your choice of being accompanied with just a guitar is perfect for this song (well done Mr. Simon Tomkins). Thanks for sharing your beautiful smile at the conclusion. Emily, you are a very lovely young woman with amazing talent.

[davidm.]

Bravo for taking on a classic that cannot be matched in Judy's ridiculous range. You did it justice. Thanks.

[melnovit]

Gee....you actually hear every word....like the old days when that was important. AND no screeching. Takes me back to when singing was beautiful.

[exs]

This bring tears to the eyes beautiful rendition.
