------------------------

Emma, also known as Emma, Emmaline or Emmeline, is a song by Errol Brown and Tony Wilson released as a single by Hot Chocolate in 1974.
It reached No.3 in the UK charts and No.8 in the US charts.
Brown explained to The Mail on Sunday in 2009: "The story is tied to the death of my mother, aged 38.
It was almost not released, as Mickie (Most, producer) thought it too slow and morbid.
The girls in his offices at RAK Records changed his mind."

Plot

The song details the love of the (nameless) singer and a girl called Emmaline from the age of five, through a wedding at 17 until her suicide at an unspecified later date.
Emma it seems wanted to be a "movie queen" but could never find the breaks and eventually kills herself because "I just can't keep on living on dreams no more."

Cover versions

The Sisters of Mercy started performing the song live in 1985.
The studio version was released on the b-side of the 12" version of their 1988 single, "Dominion" and on the 2006 re-release of the album Floodland.

Flesh & Fell also released a version of 'Emma' in 1986.

Đorđe Marjanović released a cover of the song in Yugoslavian titled 'Ema, Emili / Emma' in 1974 in his 7'' vinyl 'A Život Teče Dalje / Ema, Emili'.
A few months later it was included in his 'A Život Teče Dalje ... ' album.

Urge Overkill recorded a version for 1990 Touch and Go Records release "Supersonic Storybook".

The Arts and Sciences included the song as a bonus track on their 2004 album Hopeful Monsters.
