Very underrated song. This one was an instant classic in my opinion.

[@brendanfromireland]

Absolutely it was an instant classic.

[@michaelslater3777]

Listen to it every morning for your morning news for several years straight.

[@lindajohnsen6235]

A song I blast on my car radio while driving!!

[@trishferris7355]

I concur with your opinion, Sir.

[@Bad-Karma]

There is another song in the same vein and time period by a group named "Primitive Radio Gods" titled "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand". It doesn't have quite the soulful warm tones of that Cohn can belt out, but it is well worth the time to checkout.

[@STILL-KICKIN]

Lex’s personality is like sunshine personified. The world could use so many more like her… Don’t ever change!

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Yeah, man. Brad seems like a pretty good cat as well.

[@terenzo50]

So true. Lovely through and through.

I agree and sadly she carries Brad who rarely has any insight or even looks like he feels the music

[@robertkenneth6517]

Yes, Lex is the personification of sunshine.

[@andrewhope3525]

"Tell me are you a Christian, child? And I said ma'am I am tonight!" What makes this line even more striking is that Marc Cohn is from a Jewish family. Loved this song from the first time I heard it and ever since.

[@ronparsons8786]

I'm an atheist. But I sing this line out loud every time and get the chills

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@ronparsons8786 I am an atheist too.......thank God.

[@scottNNJ]

I’ve always loved the sound of this song - and as someone who was also confused by “do I really feel the way I feel”, I really love Lex’s reaction and interpretation of it. And from one Jew (me) to another (Marc Cohn), that line “Tell me ‘are you a Christian, child’ and I said ‘Ma’am I am tonight!” is one of my favorite lyrics of all time. It’s about being totally immersed in the environment; how Marc Cohn felt when he visited Memphis.

[@mikemaricle9941]

I'm an atheist, but I use to do a Sunday radio gospel show, I loved the music.

@@mumuspain2086 I wish people realized that 'chosen' refers to delivering the 5 books of Moses, and keeping them sacred, which is what Judaism is based on. Please stop using that word as if it means something other than that, and please stop using it in a sarcastic, derogatory manner. For 5000 years that word has fueled hatred against my people. Hope this helps offer a little perspective. Thanks.

[@musik102]

" Brad and Lex" are by far my favourite "reactors", and they compliment each other beautifully. Terrific stuff!

[@punisher455]

I couldn't agree more!

[@kerrylewis2581]

Agree

[@angelagoodwin5758]

I love Lex's bubbly enthusiasm when she's into a song! This song got heavy rotation on 90s radio. Not only a tribute to Elvis, but at the start of the song he mentioned a man named W.C. Handy, a prominent blues pioneer. Later, he sings, "...Rev. Green be glad to see you..." This line refers to R&B legend Al Green who is also a minister of a church in Memphis. Seems Muriel and the Hollywood are real as well.

[@mikemaricle9941]

Muriel has passed away.

Fantastic song. If you haven't been to Memphis, GO!

[@jennyjenny4501]

Beautiful song! If you’ve ever been to Memphis, and all the places he sings about, you really feel it!

Yes absolutely

[@1utube01]

Its a walking museum. One of the great cultural cities in America.

[@galenstone9097]

Outstanding song. I have never met anyone who doesn't like this one.

[@RFWieder]

Like many other great songs this one has a back story. Marc Cohen was suffering from writers block a friend suggested he go somewhere for inspiration. He went to Memphis and this song was the result. The experiences were real, he attended Reverand Al. Green's services, he sang with Muriel Wilkins at the "Hollywood". It was obviously an almost religious experience for him!! I've been waiting for you to experience this song, now I'll be hoping for "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" sung by Patti Loveless and "Seminole Wind" by John Anderson, both are powerful songs that will surprise you!!

[@Lovejazz01]

This is about my city! We were kind of proud of this song, we got the ghost of Elvis, Rev Al Green( the legendary singer Al Green) , and yes we do have catfish on the table!

[@TristanandIsolt]

And the very best part was Muriel who played piano every Friday at the Hollywood.

[@bpfromowc]

This song is nothing short of brilliant. I love that it really grabbed you Lex. 😌

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Yeah, it really is a fantastic piece of songwriting.

[@richardconnolly4835]

What's great about this song and Marc's voice is it is atmospheric, you can close your eyes and it paints a picture, as if you are there.

[@danielsmith5088]

I was stationed in Millington (just north of Memphis) when this song came out and I'm sure I heard it multiple times a day for at least 3 or 4 months, both on the radio and MTV. It's one of those rare songs that showed up on rock, pop, and country charts simultaneously.

[@lizetteolsen3218]

He went there b/c he was suffering writer's block. This song and the relationships he built with the people he met--are the results.

[@bgallagher8129]

Marc was mainly a song writer, and he wanted to write a tribute song about Elvis. Someone suggested that he hop on a plane and go down to Memphis and walk the streets that Elvis walked and really get a feel for the city and what Elvis would have felt. When he got back home, this is the song he wrote. His trip worked, beautiful song that gives you chills.

[@peterwilkins7013]

He's said it wasn't about Elvis though. He was thinking of not even mentioning Elvis in the lyrics because he didn't want people to think it was about Elvis

[@dustnbones0013]

Not true, it is a tribute to elvis and memphis as a whole, he just meant it's not solely about elvis,

[@billrogers6554]

@@dustnbones0013 Check out the interview he recently did with the Professor of Rock--he says that it isn't really about Elvis--it's about a trip he took to Memphis to try to find his musical voice. The trip to Al Green's church and playing with "Muriel" at the Hollywood were much more important to him.

[@dustnbones0013]

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I love this song! When you think of Memphis you can’t help but think of Elvis! I’ve been to Graceland and there is something magical about it and it and all the rooms downstairs had a theme and there was a jungle room! He also mentions W. C. Handy, “Father of The Blues”! Memphis is full of musical history and he captures that in this song! I also rode on a Riverboat on the Mighty Mississippi! I also went to the Hard Rock on Beale Street! Next time I go I will visit the Lorraine Motel where MLK Jr. was assassinated!❤️❤️

Love your energy, keep 'em coming. Much love.

[@larryg7126]

Marc Cohn went to Memphis because he had writers block & thought the trip might inspire him, thus the line do I really feel the way I feel. Muriel was doing Christian songs we would know but Marc is Jewish and was doing the best he could, thus the line are you a Christian, mam I am tonite because he was stoked by the experience. Muriel told him at the end of the night, you can go write your songs now. Boy did he write a killer song and album. He continued with a great career and other great albums. He tells this story before playing Walking In Memphis in another KZbin video but this the better sounding one, check that one out for yourself though.

[@trailryder5813]

Came for this comment!!

[@bella50008]

It's the nostolgia. It's a history lesson. It's heartbreaking bcuz of Elvis death. It's heartwarming bcuz of all the rich history of good food, music, people Memphis produced. It's hopeful...young musicians going to the birthplace of his idol for inspiration. This young man has the blues in his soul (of his blue suede shoes) and he can't shake it.He also understands that it's not just Elvis that makes him want to be a part of this genre...it's WC Hanley (father of the Blues) Al Green soul singer and Gospel Artist, Miss Muriel who represents so many nameless/faceless people who contributed to the wealth of music and tradition in Memphis. This song is legend and Marc Cohn is genius.

[@rogerodle8750]

"...Are you a Christian child -- and I said Ma'am I am tonight". What a perfect line from a Jewish songwriter/singer singing about Elvis and the deep south.

[@pdog547]

[@Sl0thL0veChunk]

This song is an all-time great. When it comes to the line "do I really feel the way I feel", I always thought it was the classic spiritual question of whether you are really having this deeply spiritual experience or if it's just something you're making up in your own head. Like is he really, honestly experiencing something in this deeply historical place, or does he just THINK he is because he feels like he SHOULD? If that make sense.

[@jasondilworth2767]

I still love this song as much as I did when it first came out

Every few years I take a drive back to the countryside where I grew up as a kid, I moved away when I was 16 and has never been back except for those occasional visits. And as I slowly drive past all the places we used to play as kids and teenagers, and think back... I always come there _expecting_ to just feel nostalgic joy, and I do, and then I get caught off guard by the undertow of sadness that accompanies that joy. It's not the depressing type of sadness, I am happy, but still I feel...loss. The loss of innocence and of a time I can never get back, I will never be that young boy climbing trees without a care in the world again, that is gone forever. *That is what **_"do I really feel the way I feel"_** means to me.*

We all have our own musical heroes, and the kind of music that is special to each of us. He is talking about making a pilgrimage to the place where the blues ( W.C. Handy ) and rock & roll, Elvis Presley must have been one of his heroes, & gospel had roots in Memphis, and that feeling you get, like youre walking on sacred ground, and you feel the presence of the great musicians that came from that place. Kind of like us Rush fans feel when we visit Le Studio in Quebec, I remember standing in the room thinking, this is the room where Rush recorded Moving Pictures, and Permanent Waves, & other great records ! Walking in Memphis, great song, great voice !

Beal Street is where they've played the Blues for over a century. Elvis Home is "Graceland." This man hits every spot that he should have mentioned. A heck of a song.

[@TheBooey1650]

This IS a tribute song to Elvis and the places he went to. The little tiny house was where Elvis lived. The little Church is where Elvis and his parents went. This is where his spiritual side was born. His Gospel songs cannot be beat. Elvis went to Bourbon Street a lot as a young kid and that is where he got some of his education in Black music. He had a ton of friends who played in the Bourbon Street bistros, etc. An awesome song.

100% wrong. Do some research. Find out what Marc himself had to say about it. He even said he regretted putting Elvis in the song because people mistakenly think it's about Elvis.

This debut album came out in 1991. I bought it on the strength of the gorgeous single, "True Companion" and quickly realized that every song on the album is excellent, many of them quite moving. Cohn's lyrics paint vivid pictures in one's mind, and he matches the words with lovely melodies and his soulful voice. The production is perfect, too.

Marc has an extensive catalog of quality songs that never achieved recognition. A particular favorite of mine is ''things we've handed down'', about a father anticipating the birth of his child. Beautiful lyrics performed with his distinctive, soulful voice.

One of the biggest one hit wonders ever and one of those songs that just about everyone likes.

"Do I really feel the way I feel" maybe an artful way of saying can I experience nostalgia for something I didn't live through.
