Elvis Costello & The Imposters - The Lovers That Never Were

[@blakeharris8986]

I love your music brother I'm only 29 but I grew up with an awesome Mom who loves your music God bless you

[@keithorlandini4919]

I'm Costello's age and I'm happy to have lived through his prime years with The Attractions. Your mother "has done right by you" by turning you on to the works of the great E.C. I'm happy to be able to say that I saw 14 Costello shows with the Attractions, with The Imposters or solo - by far many more live concerts than I've seen with any other performer.He and The Attractions were voted into the rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in their first year of eligibility and there was absolutely no doubt that they'd make the HOF in their first crack at R&R immortality.

Lovely. I have many lovers that never were! Haha!

[@joakimstorck7638]

Beautiful and sad..both att the same time.

It is done beautifully subdued. All those great songs Paul& Elvis wrote together on the Bonus Disc of Flowers In The Dirt, Lovers That Never Were was over sung by Macca on the Demo just like Oh Darling! on Abbey Road, and Elvis does it right here. Elvis though really over sang Playboy To A Man on Mighty Like A Rose, and the duet demo is much better on the same bonus disc and shows with the right production was a damn good number.

Fab cover of a fab orginal!

Paul McCartney is my all time favorite artist but i love this version the most. i love the slow tired feeling. it makes pauls 1993 album version feel incomplete

[@vernpascal1531]

Yes...Elvis has alluded to this song being one of the highlights of the ones he wrote with Paul and wanted to do it right. What is your favorite Paul album? Electric Arguments is incredible, and least recognized masterpiece.

[@shesarockstudios]

@@vernpascal1531 I think every album he did in the 90s was incredible. My favorite album of his is a tie between McCartney 2 and Off The Ground.

[@vernpascal1531]

@@shesarockstudios -I like the bonus disc of McCartney 2 as well or more than the album. Love Blue Sway & Secret Friend.

作詞及び作曲者クレジットのなんと豪華な事

[@linguistsam]

The only person worthy of backing vocals with Mr. Costello is Mr. Costello himself.

[@keithorlandini4919]

I don't know about that. I think his bassist with The Imposters, Davey Faragher does a pretty good job of providing backing vocals for Elvis.

[@triplejazzmusicisall1883]

I prefer the demo with Paul. I miss the chant echo at the end.

[@blakeharris8986]

Watching the detectives and Alison is to blame LoL 😂🤣 🙃

[@devindevon]

While the song is fine, at times it does seem a bit like they're playing in their sleep.

[@keithorlandini4919]

I love this "Purse" 4-song EP that Costello and the Imposters have released in May of 2019. In my opinion, Costello & Company needed to redeem themselves after their October 2018 release of the "Look Now" LP (available in standard 12 song format or deluxe 16 song format) bombed in some people's estimation or at least was a disappointment to his more generous critics.

[@fredfat1606]

great song but such a dead performance - whats happened

[@vernpascal1531]

What are you saying? It is you that IS DOA!

[@debi623]

Mr Costello, you have no right to talk about The American President, keep your comments to your self. Plus I never found your style and music to be worthwhile listening too!

[@vernpascal1531]

Elvis Costello is one of the greatest artists who has ever lived and can say anything he wants about our joke of a President!

[@shesarockstudios]

every one has the right to say what they want about him. he's an American citizen and has that right

[@lovely-mk4rt]

Oh Debi. trump is destroying democracy. We all need to speak up. Go get educated.

[@TommyLilacVoltage]

Fuck Trump.

[@keithorlandini4919]

I didn't hear or read Mr. Costello's original comments about our president, but if he said that Trump sucks, then he's "right on".
