Favorite Song

[elvisfan4life]

So of course me being new here and others have problem answered this questions many, many times.......

If (and I know this VERY difficult) you had to name TWO favorite songs by Elvis, what would it be and why?

My favorite is If I Can Dream - Everybody should have a dream for their future - just hearing Elvis sing this gives me chills.......

Don't Cry Daddy - My mother died when I was 10 years old leaving my father with 3 girls - 11, 10 and 7........ I still cannot listen to this song today without crying......... "don't cry daddy... daddy please don't cry...."

[ElvisChick]

I have ALOT of favorites but to narrow it down mine would be....."Mary In The Morning".:)

[STUD]

My favorite is If I Can Dream - Everybody should have a dream for their future - just hearing Elvis sing this gives me chills.......

You hit the nail on the head for me. This is also my favorite Elvis song ever.

As for picking a #2 favorite, it's very difficult, cuz there are so many I like almost equally. I'll get back to you.....

[ForeverTheKing]

There are so many that's hard to choose one :doh:

I must say that one of my favourites is An American Trilogy :'(

Thanks for sharing not just your songs, but the reason behind choosing them.

For pure emotional impact for me it would be "Memories" from '68 - it helped me cry one day when I needed to but couldn't, and still stirs my emotions.

Because its the song that got me into the world of Elvis, Suspicious Minds (from Aloha) holds a most special place in my heart as my "road to damascus" song.

But you're right - its so hard to choose, I have about 100 in joint 3rd place! :supriced: :lol:

[elvis himselvis]

That's a difficult question.
I have alot of favourites songs,but i think my favorite is An American Trilogy

[STUD]

That's a difficult question.
I have alot of favourites songs,but i think my favorite is An American Trilogy

That would definitely contend for my #2.

[bittersuite]

My favourite songs are If I Can Dream and The Wonder Of You.

I always loved If I Can Dream but I love it even more now. The reason for this is because last year I went to Graceland for the first time and at the candlelight vigil, this song was being played as everyone held up their candles in the air. Everytime I hear the words "Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle", I'm always brought back to the night of the candlelight vigil - it was just so special, I'll never forget it.

[elvisfan4life]

The Wonder of You....... okay - maybe we should pick 3 ;) :lol: ......... The song is from my husband to me.... But the way I look at it is "The Wonder of You" is to him because of my love for him over the past 15 1/2 years.

I love music of all types and all songs that I love all bring back a memory and of course being raised with Elvis music from day one, so many of his songs have meanings behind them.

Moody Blue has special meaning because - well lets just say i'm moody.... next mood swing could be in seconds. :lol: My husband says this song was written for me.

So maybe one or two favorite songs are out......... so what are your top favorite songs by Elvis and why? :king: :D

[Suspicious Minds]

I am not going to pick singles tracks for my choice.
My favourite played tracks are;
Young Dreams from King Creole. I just play this track the mostest.:lmfao:
Big Love, Big Heartache from Roustabout. I like the film version best.
Make The World Go Away from TTWII SE
Just like hearing the violins on this version.

[Brian Quinn]

My favourite Elvis track is 'Rags To Riches'.


Brian :D

[elvis himselvis]

1.American Trilogy
2.My Way
3.The Impossible Dream
:P

[Blazej]

my top 3:
Love Me, Love The Life I Lead
Love Song Of The Year
Never Again

[keggyhander]

There are three songs that made me a fan of Elvis about six years ago, and they are "Trilogy", "If I Can Dream" and "Never Been To Spain".

At the moment though I have two definite faves:

"Just Pretend", and "Bridge Over Troubled Water".

[riley]

Mary in the morning
You never walk alone
You were always on my mind
Any day know
gentle on my mind

So many beautiful songs I can go on and on

[lawdy_missclawdy]

This is a very hard question, because I love almost every Elvis song. To narrow it down, I would have to say .. :hmm:

Just Pretend - To make a long story short: I was not an Elvis fan when I heard this song. My father played it for me one day, and ever since then I've been an Elvis fan (y)

Always On My Mind - I have always loved this song, even when I wasn't an Elvis fan. And ofcourse, I still love it very much, and it's one of my favorites.

American Trilogy - It's such a beautiful and powerful song, and Elvis sings it with so much passion, that I get goosebumps every single time I hear it! :notworthy

[elvis himselvis]

It's indeed a hard question,but a good question too,because you are going to think about those songs and as a result you know what you favourite song is:)
And when somebody ask you about your favourite song you can anwser immidiatelly....
LOL:lol:

[Unchained Melody]

That is something that changes with me very often. Depends on what mood i'm in.

Right now a few tracks I've been playing abit often are Loving Arms, It's Easy For You, Doing The Best I Can, My Way, Unchained Melody.

[mubarak]

theres only one - good time charlies got the blues (y)

[vinceeverrette]

First of all my favorite song is the If I Can Dream and then probably Where Do I Go From Here. I met Ray Peterson (the guy that wrote the Wonder of You)and I have to share this story. It was around Christmas time in 1969 when Mr Peterson got a call from a guy by the name of Charlie Hodge. The name meant very little to Mr. Peterson at the time, but then Charlie said that Elvis wanted to talk to him. So, of course Mr. Peterson was elated. Elvis got on the phone and said "Mr. Petrson I wanted to ask you personally for permission to record the song you wrote called the Wonder of You. Elvis went on and on about how he thoroughly enjoyed the song and Mr. Petrson's work. Well, Mr. Peterson stopped Elvis and said "ask me permission? You're Elvis Presley. Elvis replied: "Yeah and You're Ray peterson can I please record the song". Of course Mr Peterson said yes. When I seen Ray Peterson perform the song he paid Elvis a great compliment. It was during the guitar solo that instead of doing the oh's he just said "man Elvis did everything right".

[Lisarose]

:hmm: Too many to choose. This time in my life my #1: I'll Remember You
I don't know why, I heard it for the first time on the Aloha DVD & it sent chills up my spine.
#2: Relax I love Elvis when he sings the blues & this song is so sexy.

[stevegirton]

My favorite Elvis song changes all the time right now, YOUR THE REASON IM LIVING and I REALLY DONT WANT TO KNOW.

[marijaep]

Its hard to choose only three songs...:lol:
I change my favorite songs everyday:blush:
But here are the three that are my all -time favorites:


- Suspicious Minds (I've become a fan with this song, that's why it's special for me)

- Memories (This song gives me goosebumps each time I listen to it)

- I'll Remeber You (I dont know why but i LOVe this song)
:clap: :clap: :clap:

Marija

[Trisi]

my favourite songs change every month or so.

at the moment it is as follow

A Big Hunk O Love (take 2).Just a cool version and better than the seventies ones:P

The Fool (Take 1) *Gather round me buddy,raise your glasses high,so drink to a fool,crazy fool*Just a cool rythm and a underrated song

Bringin It Back-one of the saddest songs,but a very beatiful,good and sad song.*....thinkin maybe that your love has died,but there it is i can see it in your eyes...*:'(

[LeMond]

Here's my top 3:

1. Promised Land : I heard this song for the first time while watching 'This is Elvis' and it's been my favourite song ever since.

2. I've got a thing about you baby : co?ncidentally that song was in the movie too.

3. The Wonder of You : this was the first song I ever heard Elvis sing and I've been a fan ever since.

[Evi]

Really really hard to chose!
The first song that became my favorite was suspicious minds-this one was my favorite even before I became a fan
But I can't really chose only one....there are a lot like: Always on my mind, Let it be me, Memories, My way, My Boy, Moody Blue, Loving Arms, Never Again, Words, It's Easy for you and many many more! Just can't decide. It seems like I always add more and more songs to this list LOL which I believe is the case with every fan that is getting to know the life and the career of Elvis... hehe:D

[Debra]

This is a really hard question, because I like so many Elvis's songs and it depends of my mood and he sang so many differend types of music; rock'n'roll in he's early days that makes U wanna' dance, balads that can really reach into your heart, gospels for your soul and many more:

- Suspicius Minds and Polk Salad Annie - made me a fan
- Do You Know Who I am
- It's Midnight'
- For The Good Times
- Make The World Go Away
- Just Pretend
- Help Me Make It Through The Night
- Anything Thats Part Of You
- .......
.
.
.

So, I can't pick only one favourite song as I can't pick my favourite kid!!

All of his songs are so special, unique and amazing on Its way

[Burning_Love]

I love If i can dream, this is because it's sung powerfully and Elvis puts all his heart and soul into it and it describes his feelings and let's us know what he is actually dreaming about. I couldn't possibly chooses another. :king:
