Emily King sang 'Distance' off her record 'The Switch' in the Manhattan apartment where she recorded the record. Follow Night Owl on Facebook: nprNightOwl
Something that really stands out to me is that, in her vocal inflection and body movements, she really understands and feels the lyrics she's singing. This is something that we find in great singers such as Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn and Aretha Franklin.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE EMILY KING!!! She's one of the DOPEST ARTISTS I've seen in YEARS! She does it ALL! I haven't heard a single song I didn't like or love!
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M JUST FINDING THIS NOW. DISTANCE WAS MY MOST LISTENED TO SONG OF 2018. AND I FOUND IT HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR. GOD THIS SONG MEANS A LOT TO ME
WAITING for you to become famous, but also super selfish and want to keep this magic to myself. Love you so much Emily. You are forever appreciated by me, can't til I can say "I told you so" one day when you are delcared a music legend
Hey love, time to get up I think you've been sleeping too long My day started when you were still yawning One room just ain't enough When it's two folks trying to get along But it's hard to leave you alone Oh, love is always better When we take time to get back to who we are When we are apart Distance makes the heart grow Even when I'm lonely Happy knowing that your love is never far When we are apart Distance makes the It makes the leaves on the trees fall Makes the hours in the day long Makes me want to clear my head Find a little café and write the words to a song And I know that I'm still free Be anywhere that I wanna be Maybe get dressed up Wear something real pretty that you ain't never seen Oh, love is always better When we take time to get back to who we are When we are apart Distance makes the... grow Even when I'm lonely Happy knowing that your love is never far When we are apart Distance makes the Oh-oh When you love, it makes a heart When you trust, it makes a heart When you call, it makes a heart We're alone, we're apart In the middle of a fight Walk away to make it right Where we go, we're never far In the light or in the dark On a plane up in the stars In a movie or at the bar Home alone or out to tea Look to your heart and think of me I wanna love you, don't want to try To change the pace of your life We get together, we make it good Get together, ooh (distance makes the) Hey love, time to get up I think you've been sleeping too long My day started when you were still yawning

Ketanna Banguis Jeremy Most it is
She doesn't have the recognition she deserves, she sings beautifully, what a vibe

I’ve been loving this song for years now it never gets old

This still hits after two years.
Great rhythm guitar. You guys are musical soulmates. Great stuff.
Emily King's voice is like butter on the waves of a sunny beach. Just glistening and smooth.;) Awesome acoustic set!
theofficialmvb I scrolled dwn to post a reply and you summed it up perfectly. Her voice is so disarming and smoothing.
@@soulstart89 HAHA! My thoughts exactly.:)
Thank for giving me the words to describe her. I would add she’s like coconut butter because I’m trying to stay off dairy 🤪

I experienced tonight in Cincinnati for the first time and I'm hooked! She sounds just like this in person! Amazing! You have a new fan!!
Somebody introduced me to her music a year or so ago. Immediately I thought of Prince's falsetto voice.

Hey love, time to get up
I think you've been sleeping too long
My day started when you were still yawning
One room just ain't enough
When it's two folks trying to get along
But it's hard to leave you alone
Oh, love is always better
When we take time to get back to who we are
When we are apart
Distance makes the heart grow
Even when I'm lonely
Happy knowing that your love is never far
When we are apart
Distance makes the
It makes the leaves on the trees fall
Makes the hours in the day long
Makes me want to clear my head
Find a little café and write the words to a song
And I know that I'm still free
Be anywhere that I wanna be
Maybe get dressed up
Wear something real pretty that you ain't never seen
Oh, love is always better
When we take time to get back to who we are
When we are apart
Distance makes the... grow
Even when I'm lonely
Happy knowing that your love is never far
When we are apart
Distance makes the
Oh-oh
When you love, it makes a heart
When you trust, it makes a heart
When you call, it makes a heart
We're alone, we're apart
In the middle of a fight
Walk away to make it right
Where we go, we're never far
In the light or in the dark
On a plane up in the stars
In a movie or at the bar
Home alone or out to tea
Look to your heart and think of me
I wanna love you, don't want to try
To change the pace of your life
We get together, we make it good
Get together, ooh (distance makes the)
Hey love, time to get up
I think you've been sleeping too long
My day started when you were still yawning
