First started singing professionally at age seven in the Off-Broadway show, The Night of the Hunter. Later, she appeared in the Broadway production of Les Miserables and in 2009, played Carrie in the national tour of Little House on the Prairie: The Musical. Carly's credits also include the Broadway show Wonderland and the PBS TV series The Electric Company.
Recently, the young singer has been pursuing her solo music career, performing at Birdland Jazz Club in New York and writing her own songs. She says, "I want to bring the soul back to pop. My record would be a mix of those two genres because I think that is something that is not really out there right now. I could fill that gap and appeal to a wide range of ages. I think I have the X factor because I have a uniquely mature sound and style for my age.
Rolling in the Deep
Carly Rose Sonenclar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a girl who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
(and you can tell everybody)
This is your song
(it may be quite simple)
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

The opening lyrics of Carly Rose Sonenclar's cover of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" are a tribute to Elton John's classic "Your Song." In the opening lines, Sonenclar sings, "It's a little bit funny this feeling inside, I'm not one of those who can easily hide." These lyrics are taken directly from "Your Song," where Elton sings similar words. The line, "I don't have much money, but boy if I did, I'd buy a big house where we both could live," speaks to the idea that love and companionship are invaluable, and material wealth cannot replace it.
The verse continues with the line, "If I was a sculptor, but then again, no, or a girl who makes potions in a travelling show, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do." This is another reference to Elton John's "Your Song," where he sings about being a sculptor, and how he wishes he could express his love through a work of art. Sonenclar's cover also includes the line "And you can tell everybody, this is your song," which is a direct tribute to Elton John's original lyrics. Overall, the song is an ode to the power of love, and how it can inspire us to create beautiful things.

@danielboutrin7719
O_o you don't have any culture... Carly Rose sing Rolling in the Deep from the original version of Aretha Franklin.
@MoMoMyPup10
+Daniel BOUTRIN oh, you be on the good stuff. Who wrote the song and who did Aretha cover it from?
@danielboutrin7719
CERTAINLY NOT ADELE IDIOT, not only you were WRONG from the beginning, but now you are crawling in your own vomit.
My advice...
When you have diahrea , don't claim ownership of vomit on the floor even when it's yours.

She is truly truly legendary. By far, the best talent found on any singing show and by far should've beaten a certain country guy if u know who I'm talkin bout. That finale was ridiculous. Damn country fans.
