I’m listening to this today on 2/09/2023. Burt Bacharach just passed away. This song is just so powerful. Elvis can bring me to tears with this song. God Give Me Strength indeed!

God will give you strength, my friends. I fought breast cancer for two years and have just been given an “ all clear” before last Christmas. I never became angry or depressed. I went straight to acceptance. If you offer up your pain to the Almighty, and accept this sacrifice without doubting that He loves you, you will be rewarded with strength to overcome any pain, and you will withstand much more than you ever imagined you could ! In the end, it will make you stronger and better. You will discover what you are really made of. Sacrifice is the price we pay to be able to grow and to see that people love us and that we can be better humans than we ever imagined. Hang in there. It is, in fact, Grace from God.

Burt Bacharach had his share of heartbreak. He lost his daughter tragically. But he and Hal David and Elvis Costello always had the Genius to put into words and music how all of us have felt at one point or the other in our lives. Thank you, Burt, Hal and Elvis for sharing your gifts !

I completely agree. From the first time I heard it, without know the lyric, it touched me in an odd way. I can't help but cry whey I hear this version. I do believe it's because of the pain and anguish of his delivery. His singular voice makes it so honest, relateable, personal, and painful. Simply beautiful. And, I'm not a big die hard fan of his.

The other versions are lovely in their way, but for me this is the only one that captures the sense of pain and despair that are in the lyric. Does he hit the notes perfectly, no, but that’s not what this is about. It’s the phrasing, the way he breathes the melody. Inspired

@@eliztomp What I first loved about Elvis starting in ‘77 was his lyrics and his vibe. Over the years he’s become my all-time favorite lyricist (certainly one of the best ever), but he’s my favorite singer too - and it’s because of exactly what you describe, the passion in his voice, the phrasings he uses, his breathing, his vibrato, the spectrum of emotions, the entire package of individual qualities put together that makes his voice what it is - almost always perfectly tailored (esp. in live performance) to the lyrics and music of the song he’s singing.

When will another Genius composer like Bacharach or Costello arrive in the recording world again? Only McCartney and Elton are still alive. The other genius composers have gone to the next Life. Please, God, every new song and artist these days sings the same repetitive unmelodic, unmemorable tune with mundane repetitive lyrics. We can’t tell one song from the next.
