Ordinary World - Duran Duran (Acoustic cover by Emily Linge)

"Ordinary World" by Duran Duran - Acoustic cover by Emily Linge

I am very sorry to hear the sad news about Duran Duran's original guitarist Andy Taylor. Unfortunately he had to miss the band's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame due to ongoing treatment for stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. My thoughts are with him and his loved ones through this difficult time.

Special thanks to Simon Tomkins for the guitar parts
Thanks also to @elvisgaragic9104 @SoundStruckStudios Dubai for the mix/mastering

"Ordinary World" is the first single from Duran Duran's album commonly known as The Wedding Album.

Lyrics

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well, now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every one
Is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any one
Is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any one
Is my world

[schpleeb]

One of my favourite songs and this is a gorgeous cover; thank you ❤️

[sterlingspencer]

Wow, beautiful song from a talented beautiful young lady!

[workerdroid]

Good song choice, the hauntingly sad Duran Duran song that was very underrated in its day. You have done it beautifully, and your voice has a clear sweet tone that is very pleasant. Very nice range, and a confident, pleasant performance. I would avoid the slightly broken notes at the start of each line, as you have such a true note and clear tone it is unnecessary. I know it’s a popular trick, or trend, but you have a gift of excellent tone and quite powerful too. Loved this song, please keep going. And thank you for the song choice….I have seen Duran Duran in concert around 1981 and was blown away by how tight they were, and staggered by how strong and true Simon LeBons voice was, as a live act. You also have that gift.
