Es gibt vielleicht drei oder vier Lieder von Elvis, die mich mit ziemlicher Gewissheit immer umhauen. Zum einen ist das Beyond The Reef, außerdem I Miss You ("Dreams that I had they lay broken in sorrow / The plans that I made the hopes for tomorrow ..." usw. - Hammer). Manchmal auch Indescribably Blue und Always On My Mind.
I’m so lonesome I could cry … oder das traurigste Lied, das Elvis jemals gesungen hat

Old Shep
When I was a lad
And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hold
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out
As the years fast did roll
Old Shep he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
I can do no more for him Jim
With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
I just couldn't do it
I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead
He came to my side
And looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see
Old Shep he has gone
Where the good doggies go
And no more with old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven
There's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home

Leben heißt rückwärts gelesen Nebel. Vielleicht ist das der Grund, warum wir manchmal nicht durchblicken.Kommentar

Bringin' It Back
If I could never see you, if I could never hold you
If I could never touch your face or feel your warm embrace
I still remember talkin', I still remember laughin'
I still remember lovin' a lot yes touchin' you
Babe I´ve not forgot
Evrything´s bringin' it back, you know it´s just bringin' it back
even A familiar face, or a familiar place just brings it all back
Everything's bringin' it back, good songs bringin' it back
Even after so much time, you know everything's bringin' it back
Thinkin' in my solitude, wonderin' bout your attitude
Thinkin' maybe that your love has died
There it is, I can see it in your eyes
Like the look of sweet surrender, a touch of too much sadness
'Cause I've hurt you so, you know your sorrow shows
You just can't stay, but you can't let go[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]Kommentar

Danny Boy
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bye
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so
But if he come and all the roses dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
He'll come here and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ava there for me
And I shall feel, oh soft you tread above me
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall rest in peace until you come to meKommentar

Hör mal rein, vielleicht hörst du ne Text-passage raus
Marco:
Bringin´ it back hat er nach aktuellem Kenntnis-stand NIE live gesungen
es gibt weder einen Live-mitschnitt (keine audience, erst recht keine sb-aufnahme), noch eine Setlist die den Song enthalten würde, ja nicht mal eine bisher aufgetauchten One-liner des Songs..

Grübel...
01. 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 man
Sitting on a bench
Outside a gen'ral store
They said "Yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't clear
Was it yesterday,
No, wait the day before
So I fin'ly 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
02. Love Coming Down
I remember how your eyes used to light up
Over promises that I made
But for the first time in my life
I know now how it feels to be afraid
I don't know what I’d do if you go away
This would sure be one lonely old town
For a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love coming down
Love coming down
I remember all the times you told me
Love's all that matters to you
And looking back now, wondering how I believed
I had things more important to do
I can see how I must have looked to you
Like some fool on a merry-go-round
And that a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love going down
Love going down
Can't you see how everything I’ve learned
Would just be wasted if you leave me
If you just give one more try
I swear I’ll always be here when you need me
If you can find it in your heart to forgive me
I'll try to keep both my feet on the ground
But if a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love coming down
Love coming down
03. I'll Never Fall In Love Again
I've been in love so many times
I thought I knew the score
Now you've treated me so wrong
I can't take any more
And it looks like I’m never gonna fall in love again
Fall in love, I’m never gonna fall in love
I mean it, I mean it, fall in love again
I gave my heart so easily, cast aside my pride
When I saw you in his arms baby
I broke up and cried
And it looks like I’m never gonna fall in love again
That's what I'm sayin' Fall in love, No, I’m never gonna fall in love
Please don't make me fall in love again
That's why I, no, I’m never gonna fall in love
Please don't make me, don't make me, fall in love again
04. Separate Ways
I see a change is coming to our lives
It's not the same as it used to be
And it's not too late to realise our mistake
We're just not right for each other
Love has slipped away left us only friends
We almost seem like strangers
All that's left between us are the memories we shared
Of times we thought we cared for each other
There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us
Some day when she's older, maybe she will understand
Why her mom and dad are not together
The tears that she will cry when I have to say goodbye
Will tear at my heart forever
There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us
05. When I'm Over You
When I'm over you there'll be darkness where my soul has been
And no light will ever shine again when I'm o-over you
When you're leavin' is over and there's not another tear to cry
In the silence of that last goodbye just remember, remember this
When I'm over you there'll be darkness where my soul has been
And no light will ever shine again when I'm over, over you.
Ooh-ooh-ooh
When I'm over you there'll be darkness, darkness where my soul has been
And no light will ever shine again when I'm over, over you.
When I'm over you there'll be darkness where my soul has been
And no light will ever shine again when I'm over, over you.
When I'm over you there'll be darkness, darkness, darkness where my soul has been
And no light will ever, ever shine again when I'm over you.Kommentar
