Another in the series of remixes, from original recordings of me singing with a simple strummed uke for company. The lyrics and the melodies of the song are therefore both original and written by myself, John Dyhouse.

You may or may not recognize this cover because the arrangement I chose generally fits my acoustic folk style and sound.........

"Linger" is a song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries from their debut studio album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? (1993). Written by band members Dolores O'Riordan and Noel Hogan, and produced by Stephen Street, "Linger" was first released as the second and final single from the album on 15 February 1993 by Island Records. It was later re-released on 31 January 1994.

"Linger", which has an acoustic arrangement featuring a string section, became the band's first major hit, peaking at number three in their native Ireland, number eight in the United States, and number 14 in the United Kingdom."                Wikipedia

OMGG went a little crazy even to consider reproducing this iconic Beatles tune ✨. But with deep respect for the original, the band thought it could be special to bring back that unforgettable feeling of the Beatles’ first landing in the U-S-A 🇺🇸🇬🇧.

🎛️ From the engineer’s corner: The sound was deliberately designed to be like stepping into a time machine. Instead of chasing today’s polish, the recording was made close to live, with limited fidelity, vintage-style mic placement, tube preamps, and period-inspired gear at First Cut Studio, New York. Every choice was about recreating the vibe of the 1960s — not imitating perfection, but chasing that raw excitement.

🎤 Mira, who opened the song, laughed about her experience: “I was having such a tough time with the high notes (haha) but yeah, well… you tell me if I qualified? 😊 Anyway, we love the Beatles and we love you. That’s all we do — we want to make music for you and sacrifice whatever we can.”

The result is OMGG’s way of saluting a classic, and hopefully carrying some of that early magic to a new generation 🌟.

I Want to Hold Your Hand (OMGG – 60s Club Version)

✨ NEW OMGG RELEASE ✨

This time we perform *“Linnunradan laidalla”* fully in Finnish 🇫🇮 — as originally written by the legendary Finnish band **Eppu Normaali** (formed 1976 in Ylöjärvi, Finland). They are true pioneers of Finnish rock, shaping the sound of generations.

The song title *Linnunradan laidalla* means *“at the edge of the Milky Way”*. Some key Finnish words in the lyrics:  
- *Valo matkalla jossain* → “a light traveling somewhere”  
- *Huulipunaa paidalla* → “lipstick on the shirt”  
- *Alla tähtien* → “under the stars”  

It’s a poetic love song about timelessness, memory, and how light and love travel across the universe. 🌌  

We will also make a **new English arrangement** — not just a translation, but a reimagined version that flows in English while keeping the spirit alive. This will take time, but we are excited to bring it to life. For now, we hope you enjoy hearing it in its **true Finnish form**. 💙🤍  

⚠️ **Copyright goodwill note:** This is a respectful cover made to honor Eppu Normaali and spread awareness of Finnish music culture worldwide. Please support the original artists and explore more of their work.


Original full lyrics:

Aika täällä maan päällä ylitsemme ajaa  
Emme täysin katoa silloinkaan  
Linnunrata loisti vyönä  
Rakastuimme sinä yönä  
Se ei katoa milloinkaan

Sillä kaukaiset tähdet me nähtiin  
Valo silmistämme lähti silloin matkalle tähtiin  
Ikuisesti vaeltaa  
Saa ehkä joskus jonkun silmät tavoittaa

Valo matkalla jossain  
Linnunradan laidalla olet kainalossain  
Alla tähtien, yhdessä siitä lähtien  
Huulipunaa paidalla, Linnunradan laidalla

Silmin yhä aremmin näen paremmin  
Mitä näkemättä olla toivoisin  
Näkisinpä unta niinkuin muukin ihmiskunta  
Ja kun herään asiat ois toisin

Toivoin ehtiväni ensin  
Kun unessani avaruuteen lensin  
Katsomaan maailman luomista  
Eilistä ennen huomista

Valo matkalla jossain  
Linnunradan laidalla olet kainalossain  
Alla tähtien, yhdessä siitä lähtien  
Huulipunaa paidalla, Linnunradan laidalla

Aika täällä maan päällä ylitsemme ajaa  
Emme täysin katoa silloinkaan  
Linnunrata loisti vyönä  
Rakastuimme sinä yönä  
Se ei katoa milloinkaan

Sillä kaukaiset tähdet me nähtiin  
Valo silmistämme lähti silloin matkalle tähtiin  
Ikuisesti vaeltaa  
Saa ehkä joskus jonkun silmät tavoittaa

Valo matkalla jossain  
Linnunradan laidalla olet kainalossain  
Alla tähtien, yhdessä siitä lähtien  
Huulipunaa paidalla, Linnunradan laidalla

Alla tähtien, yhdessä siitä lähtien  
Huulipunaa paidalla, Linnunradan laidalla



Linnunradan laidalla (OMGG Cover of Eppu Normaali)

Feels Like a Game

The world’s best assassin, tasked to kill
but when he falls for his target, the hunt becomes a war between love and death.
His heart is now the only thing in the crosshairs.
