My favourite Rory song. A beautiful introduction leads into a wonderfully sad, lost love, song. Rory was a marvellous performer on stage. He always gave everything for the fans. Saw Gerry in London earlier this year and his band perform Rory’s songs with respect, grace and dignity. I want this song played at my funeral. Hopefully a few years yet as I would like to listen to Rory many more times.
You know music fans, what makes Costello as powerful as he is, is the ambiguity of some of his lyrics. Try as we might, we can't all agree on what he means, IMHO. Each listener has a perfect right to his interpretation without being abused as a troll, or a dimwit for that matter!.
The very first MTV Unplugged featured The Smithereens and Graham Parker. Graham Parker was Elvis' "Pub Rock" rival at first. Now Elvis is the Dostoyevsky to Graham's Turgenev. I"m sure there's no greater song that's ever been played in a Rock Hall induction. The band has more sensibility than a 30 piece symphony.

One of the greatest songs of Costello...And one of the greatest songs period I think.
Probably my favorite Elvis song. Hits me hard
Me too, it keeps me walking the line.
What a version of Deep Dark Truthful Mirror! Love it!!!
Great song, great passion, great lyrics, just great

Elvis is wonderful, as usual, but I have to give a shout out to that pianist. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elvis is cool. Especially the one that is still alive.

I'm 20% amnesia but it seems near the end of the set usually
