Which Elvis songs help you when you feel bad?

[Nicole Presley]

A few days ago I didn´t feel good at all and right now I´m trying to find out more songs that could help me when I have a bad day. Which songs help you when you feel terrible?



Some songs that make me feel better:
+ "Runaway"
+ "Only the strong survive"
+ "If we never meet again"
+ "I believe"
+ "Happy ending"
+ "By and by"

[cibetty]

- Bridge Over Troubled Water
- Are You Lonesome Tonight (laughing version)
- You'll Never Walk Alone
- Let Us Pray

I love many more, but these four especially can give me better mood.

[SleepyJack]

Usually when I`m feeling down almost any Elvis song can make me feel better...with me it`s more the sound of the voice than the songs a lot of the time. Some that definitely work though...
"Follow that dream"... "Shake a hand"..."I can help"..."I gotta know"..."I got lucky"...... loads of them!!:):):):):)

[kathy parkinson]

All of them.

[Jungleroom76]

Great question Nicole!!! (y)

Hmmm...I guess any Elvis song would make me feel better! But if I'm having a particularly bad day, any uptempo Elvis song usually does the trick! Particularly some of my favorites like FOOLS FALL IN LOVE, I GOT STUNG, I BEG OF YOU and BURNING LOVE. :D

TCB!
Mike

[The Everlasting Gaze]

Way Down.
Viva Las Vegas.
Charro.
Have A Happy.
Little Darlin.

[Elisabeth]

Just listen to Elvis wonderful voice makes me happy. :D:D:D

[elvislina]

Are you lonesome tonight, memories. it hurts me, and more

[piretos]

Stuck On You

[May]

Great question. Would have to have a good think about it!!! Generally most of them make me feel better!

[Diane]

A Cane And A High Starched Collar gets me in a better mood every time.:)

[Awickedreigndrop]

I think all of his songs make me feel better when I'm down. It makes me feel even better when I'm watching TTWII. Then I'm hearing and seeing him! (y)

[KPM]

Stand By Me
In The Garden
Love Letters
Seeing is Believing

[Pacerstar]

When I'm in a down mood, I like to hear Elvis' gospel songs, like Joshua Fit the Battle,
Swing Down Chariot, I, John. But, I do agree, any Elvis songs puts me in a better mood.

[cbg84]

Pretty much any song

[beckelvis]

THE TRUTH THAT SIMPLY LISTENING TO HIS VOICE MAKES ME FEEL WELL IS AS THAT YOU FORGET EVERYTHING FOR A FEW MOMENTS.

Agree there, can't beat 'seeing' him at the same time as listening..........TTWII, Aloha,.........or those black leathers. Coorrrrrrrrr!!!!

All the 69 sessions lift me, and for definate........the Laughing version of Lonesome.......Fantastic!!!!

[karlos]

Bridge over troubled water, Can't help falling in love, Memories, Unchained melody, Just pretend, Little darlin' and more...

Elvis' voice seems to calm me.

The lyrics and melody are lovely; however, it's Elvis' voice, the tones, the resonance.

I agree, Kimme. Elvis had a wonderful, soothing voice. One of the best
descriptions I have ever heard of his voice was that it was "butterscotch"; so
silky, smooth, soft, cool and sweet.:D:D:D:D:D:D

I love to hear Pocketful of Rainbows when I'm missing my kids, and when I've had an arguement with the hubby - Angel
And anytime:
Next Step Is Love
Down in the Alley
Reconsider Baby and believe it or not
Merry Christmas Baby - any time of the year never fails to make me feel 100% better!

Ohhhhhhhh what an incredible description, I love butterscotch, lol.

Some songs Elvis sings, I have to play certain parts over and over, because of the inflection, or the tone he uses, the feeling he puts into some of the words, no-one does this like he does, and he blows me away when I hear it. I smile and think to myself: "Ahh another one" lol (y)

I know what you mean, Kimme. I do that a lot, too. I play the same songs
over and over to hear, especially, a certain note or a line that he does
that really gets to me. He does put so much soul into his songs. He makes
you feel and believe the lyrics!:D:D:D:D:D:D

[LianaKaralivanou]

"Have a Happy." It always makes me happy! :)

[dj_ethan]

Generally most of them make me feel better!

I AGREE !!!

[molokai123]

just pretend,bridge over troubled water,tiger man, but mainly its Elvis voice that does it for me,when ever im having a bad day,i just get my ipod,or go for a drive and have Elvis blaring through my speakers.

[Nicole Presley]

I wish I would always feel better just from hearing his voice. Normally I already feel better when I hear Elvis, no matter what song he sings. But right now I have a problem that I can´t solve at all. And now it seems like nothing can help me.

Lots of problems appear that way at first... give it some time and you`ll find a way around it. All I know for sure is that worrying about things seldom helps at all. Hope you figure it out.

MARY IN THE MORNING
YOU GAVE ME A MOUNTAIN

Beautiful!!!!!!!

His voice is like honey,or silky smooth, velvety chocolate.
He captures every emotion into the words............you live the song with him

[ph10579]

Doctors should prescribe Elvis to treat depression and other ailments!!!

Each song is a completely different flavour of chocolate. They all have their individuality, nutty (rofl, i couldn't resist, lol :D:D:D:D rofl (nobby like that, cause I am too! :D lol :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:) ... umm.. alright: white, black, cherry, ginger, chilie (hot) all flavours.

Have to appreciate each one individually, and take your time :D

:D

[Genie]

MARY IN THE MORNING
YOU GAVE ME A MOUNTAIN
ETC...

:P



I am helped when I listen to Elvis Gospel..especially like "I John" and "I got confidence" upbeat and snazzy ones, "Run on" and boy does that song ever fit many a situation... and the one that goes.."6 foot 6 stood on the ground, weighed 235 lbs, but I saw that giant of a man brought down because of love..."
So very many that are just beautiful, but in order to get out of a poor mood they must be inspirational without making me cry! If ya know what I mean..:lmfao::king: I'm not going to cheer up listening to Mamma liked the Roses..

LOL Jess................(y)(y)(y)(y)

[Marlena]

everyone song

[EnigmaticSun]

Some songs had a particular emotional resonance, such as Hurt and You Gave Me A Mountain.. but also: Trying To Get To You and Tiger Man. There are frustration-shedding songs and there are painful songs - singing the big ballads Elvis felt and took over the emotion or pain anyone could have and understand, to a similar extent and power of the songwriting skills Hank Williams shared with the world.

Beautifully said, Fa. :hug: :D

There are songs too, hehe (that give the listener all emotions) ...... :).

Besides my comment above, lol, Elvis will phrase some words, place emphasis on some, and I have to listen to the song again, to hear the emphasis - or wait for it, thinking: "it's coming soon", (y))

"U.S. Male" another example, lol. The feeling and attitude singing the song (y):lmfao:

I just found a really funny version of the song, but I think I'd be editted on here :supriced: :( :hmm: - it's soooo funny :D Gosh I'd love to share it! rofl, lol

Quote (at the end of the song): If you do two more like that Elvis, we'll have a complete Party Album. Unquote:lmfao: {Elvis laughs}
(If you want to hear it, please let me know). :D

[shelley.m.]

Agree there............a good beat

Little Sister
Faded Love
My Babe
Long legged Girl....

and on, and on...........LOL

[Shake A Hand]

When I'm feeling down and worried sick over things I have no control over and the burden seems too heavy. . . Lead Me, Guide Me and Amazing Grace seems to calm me and gives the comfort of hope.
When I'm just in a down mood cos life can be annoying at times.... I often find random Elvis songs can pop into my mind for no apparent reason. Then I have to go and give em a blast on the stereo and that shakes the mood off. However be careful !!! I'v recently been caught singing Barefoot Ballad to myself in Tesco's :blush:

[Jimmy1966]

[LISY]

Elvis in Memphis songs and a lot of other songs from that time...Always watch TWII when I'm struggling, it transports me to a place I would love to be....

[mistymorning]

Listeninh his voice always helps ! But I've a special consideration for these songs when I'm down .

1-Mama liked the roses
2- a bridge over trouble waters
3-I'll never fall in love
4-You've lost that lovin feeling
5- make the world go way
6- There goes my everything
7- The fair is moving on

and many many other ones.(y)

Oh, I totally agree with you on this! My song of the moment is "I'll Remember You", but I'm partial to the 50's rocking songs.

[wildflower]

Bridge over troubled water
You'll never walk alone

or if I need cheering up the "laughing version" of Are you lonesome tonight :lol: always makes me smile :D

ELVIS FOREVER

[ricardo b. prospero]

" I need somebody to lean on" always do the job of getting me back on trail

[elvisfreak68]

Trouble when I'm mad. That song's great to blow off steam to. All I need to do is listen to one second of his voice and I'm not upset or angry or sad just plain happy.:king:
