Omaggi Musicali Ad Elvis Presley

[hurt]

Nell'intervista a Lamar Fike che ho postato un anno fa, Lamar diceva questo

hurt

D. Che cosa fa Lamar Fike nel 2005?
LF: Lavoro e rappresento un collezionista dei maggiori memorabilia storici. Il collezionista è un mio caro amico ed è molto astuto. Possiede articoli come una spada di Eisenhower e possiede anche una lettera scritta a mano da Elvis. Ho visto la lettera ed è originale. E’ simile alla lettera acquistata da Wayne Newton con su scritta una canzone. Elvis la scrisse in un momento di tristezza. E’ una cosa triste ma vera.

Questa è la lettera scritta da Elvis e resa canzone, interpretata da Wayne Newton




WAYNE NEWTON…. THE ELVIS LETTER

One more phone call from a friend
Just to say how hard it's been
How their hopes and dreams have scattered
With the wind
They don't see that I'm there too
How it breaks my heart in two
Just to make it through this night's all I can do

Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
I'm still standing all alone
When I know I can't go on
Help me Lord

As I awake again today
And my pain won't go away
And the face I have to wear
Shows a smile
Now my nights are so alone
I just wish I could go home
I don't know if I can make it another mile

Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Please help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
I'm still standing all alone
When I know I can't go on
Help me Lord

I feel so alone sometimes
The night is quiet for me
I'd love to be able to sleep
I am glad that everyone is gone now
I'll probably not rest tonight
I have no need for all of this
Help me Lord

Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Please help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
God I am so all alone
When I know I can't go on
Help me Lord

Won't you come and take me home
Help me Lord


STRAZIANTE !!!!!!!!!

La testimonianza di Lamar Fike conferma essere una lettera reale, anche se probabilmente "integrata" per renderla la canzone.

Tupelo' Too Far



I can see Saltillo Street
And the house where I was born
I can hear gospel songs
From the church on Sunday morn
Saturday nights 'round the radio
Life was simple then
But this road I'm on won't take me there
You can't go back again
I wish I could take Route 78
And be there in no time
Rest beneath the sweet gum trees
Leave all my cares behind
But Tupelo's too far
I never dreamed I would be
A king much less a star
And I never knew that what I loved
Could also break my heart
I always thought if I just sang
Everything would be alright
And I don't know what went wrong
But I'm lonesome tonight
I wish I could take Route 78
And be there in no time
Rest beneath the sweet gum trees
Leave all my cares behind
But Tupelo's too far
Tupelo's too far

Went To See The Gypsy - Bob Dylan




Went to see the gypsy,
Stayin' in a big hotel.
He smiled when he saw me coming,
And he said, "Well, well, well."
His room was dark and crowded,
Lights were low and dim.
"How are you?" he said to me,
I said it back to him.

I went down to the lobby
To make a small call out.
A pretty dancing girl was there,
And she began to shout,
"Go on back to see the gypsy.
He can move you from the rear,
Drive you from your fear,
Bring you through the mirror.
He did it in Las Vegas,
And he can do it here."

Outside the lights were shining
On the river of tears,
I watched them from the distance
With music in my ears.

I went back to see the gypsy,
It was nearly early dawn.
The gypsy's door was open wide
But the gypsy was gone,
And that pretty dancing girl,
She could not be found.
So I watched that sun come rising
From that little Minnesota town.

Cry Like Memphis - Tamara Walker



Home of the blues is where I live
Trapped inside these lonely walls that don’t forgive
Surrounded by memories
Your goodbye haunts me like a Beale Street melody
And I’ve done everything but get down on my knees
And if my tears will set this ghost inside me free

I’m gonna cry like Memphis
I’m going three times under
I’m gonna drown my sorrows
In tears that rill like thunder
Till I can find a way
Till I can carry on
I’m gonna cry like Memphis
When they heard the King was gone

Love me Tender cuts through the dark
Coming from an open window of a passing car
And in that moment I believe
I can almost feel your body lying next to me
But one heart beating slowly brings me back around
I know you’re gone and I know I’m breaking down

And when I break down

I’m gonna cry like Memphis
I’m going three times under
I’m gonna drown my sorrows
In tears that rill like thunder
Till I can find a way
Till I can carry on
I’m gonna cry like Memphis
When they heard the King was gone

ANGEL - The Eurythmics




Underneath this canopy of snow
Where fifty-seven winters
Took their toll
Where did you go?

And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing psalms on a Sunday
(Where did you go?)

Well she's gone to meet her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...
Come to save her soul...
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime
Well past bedtime

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel...

She took her life
Within her hands
She took her life
Within her own two hands
And no-one can tell her
What to do now

And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing live from Las Vegas
(Where did you go?)

Well she's gone to meet
Her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...

Patti Scialfa - Looking for Elvis




Dal nuovo albo "Play It As It Lays"
appena trovo il testo, lo aggiungerò!

Ecco il testo della canzone:

Warm black asphalt
South of nowhere
I'm going there under a dirty cotton sky
When the rain comes round
I roll my window down
I lift my face to heaven
And wash these tears from my eyes

I'm just looking for some inspiration
I'm looking for something to rock my soul
I'm looking for a brand new destination
I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road
I'm looking for Elvis

I remember...
All those Septembers
The pledges of allegiance
The prayers of trust
I slept on those beds of hope and promise
Woke up choking on cheap paint and carnival dust

So where are you now
With all those illusions
Fallen dreams and charity
If faith restores you
And truth delivers
Then don't tell me that I'm standing
When I'm on my knees

I'm just looking for some inspiration
I'm looking for something to rock my soul
I'm looking for a brand new destination
I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road
I'm looking for Elvis
I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road
I'm looking for Elvis

You've got to give yourself over now
Roll like a river stone
There's mud in the water
There's gravel in the dust

You've got to work a little harder
Sing a little stronger
Stand up and deliver
If you want my trust

West of Babylon
East of Eden
I'm breathing in these winds of change
I'm going to rise up from these ashes
Gonna rise up and find the truth again

I'm just looking for some inspiration
I'm looking for love to soothe my soul
I'm at the crossroads of my destination and
I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road
I'm looking for Elvis
I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road
I'm looking for Elvis

Is That Friend in Memory We Made,
Is A True Friend we have Lost,

WE REMEMBER THE KING.
WE REMEMBER,WE REMEMBER THE KING

WE WILL TRESAURE ALL OF THE GIFTS,
THAT HE DID BRING
WE REMEMBER THE KING.

Elvis Presley Blues - Gillian Welch



I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his hair
And put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air
And he shook it like a chorus girl
And he shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler,
baby,
Like you never seen

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
How he took it all out of black and white
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight
And he shook it like a hurricane
He shook it like to make it break
And he shook it like a holy roller, baby
With his soul at stake

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
He was all alone in a long decline
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
When he shook it and he rang like silver
He shook it and he shine like gold
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul

He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul, what's wrong with me?

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his hair
Put on a shirt his mother made and he went on the air
And he shook it like a chorus girl
He shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby
Like he never seen
