But seriously though, folks ...

As for narrative type stories in Elvis' songs, I do like Kentucky Rain.

And it reminds me of - I kid you not here! - a country singer I used to date called Mary-Lou. That and Trying To Get To You were her favourite Elvis songs.

Oh, to be young again ....

... not! :)

You know what they say Getlo, "to be young again, and to know what we know now!"

The most profound of statements!! :lol:

All us "older" people's dream that's for sure! :)

I always bring along my disc carrier to play Elvis songs on a trip even as short as a half hour. My car has great speakers.:)

How about PIECES OF MY LIFE???

That would be my pick. I've always thought it could have been written for Elvis.

I like Long Black Limousine, too.

I'll give you three songs;
1. In the Gheto,
2. Memories,
3. Polk Salad Annie.

I do too Diane, and I love to blast it! (y) Much louder than if someone were in the car with me. :D

I think as far as a pure visual effect goes I would also go along with "Kentucky Rain". I like it, it's not my favorite, but it is so easy to visualize what he is singing about. I can just see the man who's memory wasn't clear...:lol: sometimes my memory isn't clear either. :lol:

Yes I love that one too Rosanne...for the same reason. So many of Elvis' songs have a hint of humor or a very sentimental meaning.

Diane

Too many for me :lol:

Elvis sang LOVE...and there's so much love in his songs :blush:

Some of my favourite stories are in the songs

-Until It's Time For You To Go
- In The Ghetto
- Mary In The Morning
- So Close Yet So Far From Paradise
- Snowbird
- If I Can Dream

and many many others (y)

Pieces of my life If i can dream

In the Ghetto is a great choice!

Kentucky Rain for me, too. This is my absolute favorite song. Getting the ride from the preacher & listening to his advice and best wishes.
Also:
Stranger in the Crowd
Sylvia - I have a lot of brothers & more than one have gone out with a "Sylvia"!
Do You Know Who I Am

great thread, btw!

How about Return To Sender!

mary in the morning is a great pick foreverTheking .
