Can't be doing with the fading in and out.

This is a wonderful melody with very important and touching lyrics.

So many of Elvis' songs are more meaningful when performed solo, with only one or two instruments. This is a good example and so is "Accidents Will Happen."

Love the song, love this version.

My Mom just died of dementia. It is horrible.

I like this better than the Bands version

Terrible editing and audio.

Always loved this. Spent a lot of time in an Alzheimer’s facility, watching someone’s plight get dimmer everyday. Excellent phrasing in this song.

this is a classic

Awesome.

Not only excepional music, to be that concistent with fashion eyeware throughout the decades,...hats off!

This is the only good song that he ever wrote. Truth.

Will be seeing hem in FEB 23

Elvis sung it deep it came from his heart. What a performance. Awesome.

Amazing 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

This arrangement is so much more moving than the one on Stunt.

I love this song and my name is Veronica …

Most casual fans have no idea that this song which one could argue is his most commercial hit was actually co-written with Paul McCartney! In the late 80’s Paul’s then manager mentioned to him how well his caliber of songs were when he worked with a collaborative partner. That of course being John Lennon. So around 1987/1988 some names were tossed around as potential collaborators for Paul to work with. He of course ended up working with another fellow Liverpudlian Elvis Costello. This particular track was a co-write between the two. There are also some greatly joint written songs on both Paul’s solo albums Flowers in the dirt and the album off the ground. And if any of you are completist fans like myself: just google/youtube McCartney/declan macmanus the later name being costello’s real name and you will find a plethora of acoustic demos that they made around this time period. Nearly two albums worth. It’s a shame that only a handful of their amazing collaborations only trickled out here and there over just an album or two period for each of them. Would love to hear way more stuff by them!

That takes a lot of talent to pull that off in such a way as this and make it sound so good.

I fell in love with old ladies memories as a child speaking to the ladies I spent time with as they slowly died, My Grans friends , As I wheeled my lovely Gran round the ward to see her friends

Much much better song in this arrangement, fitting the melancholic lyrics. Never cared for the original that much, though the Spike album has grown on me. I feel like they were looking for a single and came to this one, turning into a pop arrangement for that purpose. But it's also possible he wanted to counter the weight of the lyrics with a more joyful sound. He's done that before. Oh how I miss later with Jools!

Retitled "Biden"

Why was his guitar not amplified and tuned to the gig.

Let's not forget Sir Paul, who Elvis credits for smoothing out the chorus and making the bridge more dreamlike.

This is Everything. ❤️

I Love You Mister Elvis Costello. 💔🙏🙏🙏

This is beautiful.

Blij dat het er is.

I love him.

Yay! 🎵💃🎸🦋

Simply outstanding……what a lyricist…..

So powerful and such depth of emotion. Best singer of the modern era in my opinion.

I just thought about this song this morning. I liked this song..

More than any other individual, Steve Nieve had much to do with Elvis' musical success,

Why can't a man stand alone? Must he be burdened by all that he's taught to consider his own? His skin and his station, his kin and his crown His flag and his nation, they just weigh him down You know pride is a sin that we tend to forgive But it gets hard to live When you don't have the love in her heart to begin with Why can't a man stand alone? Why can't a woman be just what she seems? Must she be tarnished by men who can only be men in their dreams? When beauty meets ignorance, they shout in the street Repeating their offer to each girl they meet The respect that she needs, it isn't a gift But it gets hard to lift yourself up When you don't have the strength to begin with Why can't a woman stand alone? Why can't a baby sleep at night and dream of the time to come And never fear the world outside, the touch of someone very near? Why can't a man stand up? Why can't a man stand up? Why can't a man stand alone?

Utterly beautiful
