Sisters Of Mercy, The - Emma Lyrics

A W E SO M E !

Hot Chocolite sings the original

One of the best cover versions of a song ever !!!!

Я что-то подобное слышал в фильмах русского режиссёра Балабанова, он использовал ещё раньше в фильмах если не ошибаюсь "Брат" и "Война" повторюсь, если не ошибаюсь. Давно уже не видел эти фильмы, могу немного ошибаться.

Brilliant song/lyrics and visualization.

this sucks!

Schade, dass diese Art von Songs nicht meeeeehr präsent ist.

There was another video of them covering this song. Two women. I think this one was a part of it, but there was another shot clearly. She was in profile,bottomless and with a knee on a chair. Looking to the right. Anyone know what happened to it?

Es una canción maravillosa. No sé por qué tiene la rara propiedad de hacerme sentir bien cuando la busco en mis momentos más bajos, pese a tratarse de la historia de un suicidio. Es una tragedia personal que, paradójicamente, gusta a cierto tipo de personas.

I dont think anyone has ever covered a song in such a way. Andrew's voice and feelings on this one is pure heartbreak, despair, agony and pain. He really sung his soul out on this one. This remains one of my all time personal favorires, no matter how many years pass...

This version captured the 80s gothic vibes so much..so ethereal

Malice Ione I so agree. I was born in 1970 and belonged to the Gothic scene from age 14. This song captures the whole of my teenage years. It takes me right back to when I was young.

@Eden2089 sometimes this song make me cry like a baby lol

Malice Ione I can so understand it bc it’s a lost time and it feels like the goth scene is forgotten and won’t have it’s revival ever. I mourn a forever lost teenage and memories I can’t relive again. But also bc of happiness. So many concerts and emotions inside. In Stockholm (were I was raised) they had this fantastic goth club called Ritz were I started going at age 15. Sisters of Mercy was usually always played as intro when the night ”started” at 22:00 and the sound got louder. I never had one bad evening there.

Lyrics

We were together 
Since we were five
She was so pretty
Emma was a star 
In everyone's eyes
And when she said 
She'd be a movie queen
Nobody laughed
Her face like an angel
She could be anything

Emmaline
Emma
Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name 
High on that silver screen
Emmaline
Emma
Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the 
Biggest star this world 
Has ever seen

At seventeen
We were wed
And I worked day and night 
To earn our daily bread
And every day
Emma would go out 
Searching for that play
That never, 
Ever came her way
And sometimes
She come home 
And she'd be so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the 
Back room and be
So distressed
And I'd remember back way 
When she was five
To the words that
Used to make 
Emmaline come alive
It was...

Emma 
Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name 
High on that silver screen
Emmaline
Emma Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the 
Biggest star this world 
Has ever seen

It was a cold and dark 
December night
When I opened up 
The bedroom door
To find her lying
Still and cold upon the bed
A love letter lying 
On the bedroom floor
It read
Darling I love you
But I just can't keep on 
Living on this dreams no more
I've tried so very hard 
Not to leave you alone
But I just can't keep on 
Trying no more

Ahh 
Emma
Emmaline
Ahh 
Emma
Emmaline
Ahh 
Emma
Noooooo
Ahh 
Emma
Noooooooooooo

we know

Only S. O. M could pull something like this off.

I love the sisters and this is a great cover. Though I still like the bit chocolate one more

Monster bringeth rain

A very underrated classic cover version of this song 👍👍👍

I never realized that this was a cover

Me either...

I named my cat emmaline for this song xD

Fantastic Song and excellent Photos by Yell Saccani, well chosen

Ohh, Emalline

I miss you JADE LYA... Terry J you to jayla thomas.........

This is so real.. 😭

Fantastic remake/ remodel. Tip of the hat to you, Errol Brown. Same for you Andrew and the Sisters...

This is my No 1 song when I want to calm down. No other bass line is that soothing.

So much feeling. Exceptional.

so well done!

Who was doing this Video?...very amazing!

Fucking magnificent...Dark & full of seething heartbreak, loss & mental breakdown from a death..

Awesome cover of a great song

One of the best ever cover versions ever

this is a masterpiece ...been with them since the 80's always come back to this one

💝💝

Damn! So Very, Very Haunting.

et c"est reparti je réécoute les sisters of mercy ..de ces années crépusculaires .. 80 ,85 voir 87..point , ce doit être la saison ..winter ps coming..et je découvre encore des trucs , que j'aime , mais mieux aujourd'hui..

Great! Thank you!

Perfect Goth rendition to a beautiful haunting song from 1974. Just received the Sisters Of Mercy "Floodland" 2006 re-release with the four previously unreleased tracks today and one of them is this song "Emma". Great album to relive those awesome and never forgotten 80s Goth days. I wonder whatever happened to my little Goth Girl? We were the Vampires who roamed the nights until early Dawn. Please just take me back and leave me there forever. (Lost in the 80s tonight).

The 80s, damn, where did they go? Can't believe it's been so long ago. Like a dream it was here then gone. Was it all just a dream? Like a long lost love, the 80s just faded away. Wish I could find that love again. Only to relive just a few moments would be my only wish. The best decade ever and forever. I want to be lost in the 80s. (Brings a smile to my face and tears to my eyes)

❤❤❤

I like the guitar in this!

RIP Errol Brown

Now that is emotional singing.

Die hübscheste Frau ever hat ihre Tochter Emma genannt!

so dermaßen der Hammer!

The orginal track by hot chocolate released in 1974 isn´t bad either... dark and brooding.

me suena a JOY DIVISION

Das antigas... Lembrei do Retro.

Great version along side Hot Chocolates version

Wunderbar!!!

🌹✨

I was on river , remember my teenager , no on dreams but in reality , that river was crying like my soul.
It's sad and beauty song.

It's Transmission, slowed down. Kind of. Great song, though.

51 thumbs down?? Go away!

can you believe it? what nerve!

*Walk Away

SoM are still Alive fe

Romantic melancholia as its finest.

God.. Love.. Israel... And.........

This fuk n video is creepy

Timeless....

Ich liebe dich

Nice slow dance song...

Maravilhoso

i can listen to this for the next 100 years

thank you, mr. singh

Never Enough*

Lovely💛

like the photography and choice of music.

Emma, Suzanne, Alice, Marine, Lucerettar, so many girls, and that's excluding Severina and Amelia.

how funny!

hes also slept with all the girls in berlin

They are Sisters.

Relieving,,wastegate!,,

It's slow.. song

This sounds like a sufuck song .. lol

Well it's different

Great Cover...great Photos!!

doctor muther fucken avalanche!!

Love this version - Thanks for the Lyrics RM

Allways gives me massive goosebumps. The original looks pale next to this masterpiece.

Sorry this Terrible, too much instrumental weak voice.. Hot Chocolate Rules This Song!!!

The original is better but I like this as well. Luckily the Sister of Mercy had plenty of other solid work to fall back on so they didn't need to ride anyone's coattails.

Right ? Like, where is the emotion in this ? This just sounds like a sexy time background music *disaproval slow head shaking*

YOU ARE LAME, THE MAN. how old are you? i'm sure this is before you were born.

Well done. That's taking it to another level.

I understand this is based on a true event. The Emmaline was the mother of the singer for Hot Chocolate. So I've read.

awsome in every single way

EVERY WAY

This is Masterful.

great version

so sad the lyric but beautiful at the same time

Perfect, haunting photos

a brilliant cover indeed but i do love theprimitives i'll be your mirror truly beautiful to behold went to see the mision last night they were awesome and they done marianne awesome

To think that an track recorder ,a guitar and a simple drumset is the basis of what inspired an late eighties club-wave.

Κομματάρα!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tiernísimo,dulce como nada. ¿Acaso podrá haber alguna cosa mala de "Sisters of mercy"?.Nunca se debe retirar nada de esta agrupación. Es por bien de los jóvenes de hoy.

Caracas que banda umas das melhores banda do mundo Graciano Brasil

The best cover ever. Well its up there. Certainly one of the greatest bands of all time

I love this band

Hammer ....

I liked this just as much as the original,so much passion in the voice.
