I’m so lonesome I could cry … oder das traurigste Lied, das Elvis jemals gesungen hat

[charro]

das wußte ich gar nicht ... und welches soll der andere Song gewesen sein?

BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN

In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In the land that knows no parting
For blue eyes crying in the rain.

Keine Ahnung, ich kenne auch nur die Legende! Ob es nun ein, zwei oder mehrere Lieder waren, die er anspielte, wer weiß

SEUFZ :traurig:
auch wenn mir in dem Fall die Version von Willie Nelson besser gefällt
zum Heulen sind sie beide

mir auch ... Elvis bluesige Variante ist zwar echt toll und so schön "erdig" ... trotzdem gehört Blue Eyes zu den wenigen Ausnahmen, wo mir die Originalversion (in diesem Fall von Willie Nelson) besser gefällt als Elvis Interpretation ...

Kentucky Rain

Seven lonely days
And a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night
And you were gone
Don't know why you'd run,
What you're running to or from
All I know is I want to bring you home

So I'm walking in the rain,
Thumbing for a ride
On this lonely Kentucky backroad
I've loved you much too long
And my love's too strong
To let you go, never knowing
What went wrong

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead's another town
That I'll go walking thru
With the rain in my shoes,
Searchin for you
In the cold Kentucky rain,
In the cold Kentucky rain

Showed your photograph
To some old gray bearded men
Sitting on a bench Outside a general store
They said "Yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't clear
Was it yesterday,
No, wait the day before

So I finally got a ride
With a preacher man who asked
"Where you bound on such a dark afternoon?"
As we drove on thru the rain
As he listened I explained
And he left me with a prayer
That I'd find you

Sein bester Song, auf einem Platz mit "Suspicious Minds" - zeitlose Klassiker.

Einer seiner letzten soll auch How The Web Was Woben gewessen sein!
Und glaube ich I´ll Take You Home Kathleen

Einer seiner letzten was?

[gast-20070627]

hier geht es doch um die traurigsten ...

[burroughs]

Da fallen mir spontan zwei songs ein (weil ich sie momentan irgendwie nicht aus dem Kopf krieg ), die in diesen Thread passen wie die Faust auf´s Aug

Indescribably blue
und
They remind me too much of you

[Tommy Cashels72]

"It`s still here" und "I´ll remember you"

[gast-20070627]

Nicht zu vergessen: First in Line


When they gave out eyes like diamonds
That would shame the stars that shine
My darlin' my darlin'
You were the first in line
When they gave out lips like honey
That hold a new thrill every time
My darlin' my darlin'
You were the first in line

There may be others
that know you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But there's no other
could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do
Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me
My darlin' say I’m your darlin'
The first, and the last in line

jetzt weiß ich was Du meinst ... es sind weniger die Lyrics, die eine wunderschöne Liebeserklärung darstellen, sondern diese dermaßen traurige Melodie

[burroughs]

jetzt weiß ich was Du meinst ... es sind weniger die Lyrics, die eine wunderschöne Liebeserklärung darstellen, sondern diese dermaßen traurige Melodie

argh ..stichhhhh.. mußte das nu sein?

Genau Staubi

[gast-20080915]

Stimmt Staubi...so ist es mir gestern ergangen mit: It's easy for you :traurig:


You may not mind that it's over
But I've a different point of view
Even though I am shattered
It's easy for you

You don't have to face the music
You don't have to face the crowd
Just go back where you came from
You ain't even proud

I had a wife and I had children
I threw them all away
And now you tell me, you dare to tell me
I should go back to them
What do you think I should say

I found it hard to leave them
Saddest thing I ever had to do
My problems haven't started
And it's easy for you

I had a wife and I had children
I threw them all away
And now you tell me, you dare to tell me
I should go back to them
What do you think, what on earth do you think I should say

If you ever tire of the good life
Call me in a year or two
I've got no choice, I'll forgive you
'Cause it's easy for you

You only have to call me, it's easy for you
You only have to call me, it's easy for you

... jetzt fühle ich es auch ... das ist überwältigend ... wie unendlicg traurig

ich finde übrigens die ganzen Jungle Rooms Sessions sind durchwachsen von einer speziellen Melancholie und Atmospähre ... so intim irgendwie und dann diese Brüchigkeit in seiner Stimme

[Elvislover76]

Ohhh jaaaa, da geb ich Dir Recht.
...ich sehe, wir verstehn uns

I'm Leavin'

(Words & music by Jarrett / Charles)

La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

Well I know, if I'd arrived in time to know you
If you had taken the time to show me
I wouldn't be lonely

Where will I go, who will I have to lie beside me
To ease this emptiness inside me
I'm so lonely

Tried so hard each time, each time I just can't make it
Feelin' fast vibrations and I just can't take it
Living from day to day, chasing the dream
I'm, I'm leavin

La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

Tried so hard each time, each time I just can't make it
Feelin' fast vibrations and I just can't take it
Living from day to day, chasing the dream
I'm, I'm leavin

La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I'm, I'm leavin
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la



Ich glaub' das kann man nicht verstehn, wenn man's nicht gehört hat!
