Beauty and perfection beyond words......
Here, Lena gives what is arguably her greatest ever live performance, in a stunningly beautiful version of Neil Sedaka's song, Going Nowhere, recorded when she was just seventeen.

===================

Considering
so many folks, dissatisfied with everything,
who need someone to understand they're lonely, they're lonely,
and they're not alone.

And everywhere
they shrug their shoulders, tell themselves that they don't care,
and all the while they make believe they're happy, oh they're happy,
but not really.

And they're asked to hold the world together,
make it happen, give it children,
who in turn are turning on to going nowhere.
And all the strength they'd ever need to help them
has been wasted, remains hidden,
in the confusion of going nowhere.

And who am I
to criticize the world that I have grown up in.
Most of you would tell me that I'm crazy, yes I'm crazy,
I can't help it.

I understand
that where you are is where you've been so many years,
and things that tend to change you, tend to hurt you, yes they hurt you,
very deeply.

And still you try to hold the world together,
make it happen, give it children
who in turn are turning on to going nowhere.
And all the strength they'd ever need to help them
has been wasted, remains hidden,
in the confusion of going nowhere,
going nowhere,
going, going, going nowhere,
going nowhere.

- Lyrics by Neil Sedaka

Fantastic and a beautifull young woman such a shame a sad lost. Everytime i watch it it brings me to tears

[skydiver172]

Ever since discovering Lena on YouTube, thank God for YouTube, I have become a huge fan of Lena's, if she were still with us today I would travel the world to see her perform. I love all her songs.

[bushwacka1974]

I was born in 1974 so too young to really appreciate this. But what a discovery!

I cannot believe that 45 people have disliked this clip - must be blind deaf and definitely dumb!

it was easy to poke fun at Lena in the day as another showbiz irritating kid, but then u see this video and its clear to see a woman in trouble.....her showbizzy mask has fallen clean off and u see her quickly pick it back up at the end of this song and its back to showbizzy Lena.......why diddn't she show us this side more........so sad.

[nlvos]

A brave wee Scottish lassie, lost. You don't see talent like this anymore.

[valmikecal1]

Her talent and display of emotion is so amazing and powerful....something not seen or heard anymore. And she was such a tender soul.

THIS IS AMAZING

[Utubeifuwant]

@willewinky Well worth watching. Lena's story received a lot of attention and everyone interviewed had something kind to say. It can be seen on ITV Player.

[RaiRhythms]
