    When the violins swell just as Elvis sings "I want him to hurt ..." is such a grandmaster move. Lesser artists would think it too melodramatic. Great artists don't care -- they know the moment demands it.

    God will give you strength, my friends. I fought breast cancer for two years and have just been given an “ all clear” before last Christmas. I never became angry or depressed. I went straight to acceptance. If you offer up your pain to the Almighty, and accept this sacrifice without doubting that He loves you, you will be rewarded with strength to overcome any pain, and you will withstand much more than you ever imagined you could ! In the end, it will make you stronger and better. You will discover what you are really made of. Sacrifice is the price we pay to be able to grow and to see that people love us and that we can be better humans than we ever imagined. Hang in there. It is, in fact, Grace from God.

      I had throat cancer 2023, and got PISSED OFF Cindy. Furious. US Army Veteran and shot in the back in drug raid, 7 spine surgeries, fisions, years of pain, and then Army tour blew out my knees and yes, tackle football as a kid Pop Warner etc., However, my God, Give me strength??? I didn't have anymore. 357 magnum in my hand, Bottle JIM BEAM, Grandma's Bible. weeping like a weak , whatever, Sergeant Hall reached his limit, picked up the revolver, and yes, pulled the trigger. My God, 'MISFIRE'. Why? God only knows Cindy. Trauma set in. Veterans hospital helped me through it. I am telling you this because after reading your words it hit hard.....In my case, my wife was working with Robert Duvall, family friend, actor. He got very upset hearing of my attempt on my own life and cancer spreading. I refused treatments. jameshhall1954 Instagram - His note to me, and photo. He called also and said, 'Get your ass back to City of Hope Hospital Jim'. I got your back, We care'. My God, I lost it. He didn;t have t care at all or take one second of his time. He just had too many people cming at me with HOPE. CARING. As I sat and felt sorry for myself. Anyway, I am happy you are still ALIVE. WE BOTH ARE. This song has more meaning to us than most others. It enters our SOUL...WE ARE ALIVE. 2024. Bless you, and my wife also survived Breast/Bl;adder Cancer 2023. Cedar-Sanai Hosoital. Los Angeles. Quite an ordeal. She is italian so tougher than I am in many ways,. Women are stringer than men in these respects, Health. She stayed the course AND WON. Surgery, Chemo, RAD. ALIVE. Scary times Cindy.

    The other versions are lovely in their way, but for me this is the only one that captures the sense of pain and despair that are in the lyric. Does he hit the notes perfectly, no, but that’s not what this is about. It’s the phrasing, the way he breathes the melody. Inspired

      @@eliztomp What I first loved about Elvis starting in ‘77 was his lyrics and his vibe. Over the years he’s become my all-time favorite lyricist (certainly one of the best ever), but he’s my favorite singer too - and it’s because of exactly what you describe, the passion in his voice, the phrasings he uses, his breathing, his vibrato, the spectrum of emotions, the entire package of individual qualities put together that makes his voice what it is - almost always perfectly tailored (esp. in live performance) to the lyrics and music of the song he’s singing.

    A lot of these comments assume that this album was a strict division of labor between Bacharach’s music and Costello’s lyrics because that was always Bacharach’s practice before this, and it had been Costello’s assumption beforehand also, but he was thrilled that Bacharach sought his collaboration on the music as well, as he’s equally talented at both. This song is mostly Costello’s music with the addition of Bacharach’s soaring bridge, and much of Painted From Memory they worked closely together on the music, often in the same room with two keyboards.

    This song always reminds me of my parent's divorce and makes me cry every time I hear it. It just hits that nerve. In fact every song on Written From Memory hits that same nerve. It just goes to show Burt Bacharach wasn't all "sunshine & lollipops" in the Swinging Sixties.

    Elvis wrote so many incredible tunes. I loved all his 80' tunes when I was in College, but love his softer, truly heartfelt side. Amazing artist. ❤💙

    It’s just occurred to me - Elvis’ voice must’ve been given to him by the horns of the steamships that his grandfather performed on - nothing else moves that much air with such force and clarity

    This is a wonder Cd. The fact that Elvis can sing anything and make it sound special and unique makes him a one of a kind "Artist." I own many, sadly not all of his work.
