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!

I'm fighting cancer this song means a lot to me please god give me strength 🙏

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.

When I saw “Grace of My Heart” I chased this song down!!! This has Burt all over it! Collaborated with Costello, this CD is a masterpiece!

This may be one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

R.I.P Burt Bacharach you are a legend, one of the finest songwriters of our time , sleep well sir and thank you.

I just saw this last night on PBS. Bacharach is genius, as is Costello. Bravo!

This album, Painted from Memory, is one of my deserted island albums. R.I.P. to the great Burt Bacharach who died today. He influenced many record producers and musicians of the generation following his. Thankfully, his music lives on.

Wow, Eilvis delivers such an honest, stunning performance with this great Bacharach song. Bravo, Elvis.

One of the best goddamn love-gone-bad songs ever written. What an incredible collaberation between two such diverse yet prolific song writers. "Here comes those tears again - just when I was gettin' over you." God gives you strength!

Now he’s gone, and thinking about Bach Bacharach’s amazing canon…sure every Dionne Warwick song takes breath away and there are many stunners…but for me this performance with Elvis Costello just sums it up like none other. Rest easy Burt…we’ll never forget you or the music.🎵🎶🕯️

Beyond any technique or vocal skill, nobody can sing this song like Costello

I love this song. Painted From Memory is one of my favorite CDs.

My husband died last year. We were separated for a year during the time he became ill with cancer and I, hoping we would work things out, received a text message from his family the day after he died. I didn't even know he was sick. This song is therapy in a way.

This song and "My Thief", easily two of the best songs written in my lifetime and I was born in 1963. Costello/Bacharach...collaboration of the ages!

When the violins swell just as Elvis sings "I want him to hurt ..." is such a grandmaster move. Lesser artists would think it too melodramatic. Great artists don't care -- they know the moment demands it.

Elvis Costello I had no idea how talented you are. You gave this song your entire heart, and I believe you. Bless you for sharing your talents with humanity. I am a new fan.

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

I have no idea why this doesn’t have more views or likes. This is one of my most favorite songs ever.

Burt really makes good use of the fluegel horn in his songs. Love the fluegel horn!

Anyone who’s can through the end of a relationship knows the pain in these lyrics Genius doesn’t come near just masterpiece of work RIP Burt Bachera

the combo of the sound of Costello's voice and Bacharach's beautiful music is outstanding. So tender..

It's Bacharach. He created his own genre. And Elvis Costello is arguably his best interpreter.

I really feel bad for the 38 people who 'disliked' this .. you genuinely do not have a soul.

Incredibly beautiful song. I love Elvis Costello's voice.

God give me strength. Each time I listen to it becomes more powerful than before...

Gorgeous… one of the beautiful songs ever of our time…

This is one of the best love songs ever. WOW! Elvis Costello delivers a song written by one of the best composers on the planet! RIP Burt Bacharach - thank you for all the incredible music...

Excellent! R.I.P. Mr. Bacharach and the violinist Mary Whitaker who was murdered in her home by two homeless drug addicts in 2014!

Cried thru the entire song. Beyond brilliant.

One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time.🙂

I don't think ANYone has ever quite captured the end of love like Burt has. What an inCREDible Melody- and Elvis, despite a somewhat eccentric interpretation, really nails this song- the note he hits at 4.54 is a real heart-breaker.It seems there are very few songs of this caliber being written today, sadly.

The only thing to say about these artists and their collaboration is pure genius. I will never tire of listening to it or anything by these gentleman musicians.

The feelings I feel while listening to this song are indescribable…….his voice, Burt Bacharach ‘s notes and his lyrics ….transported…..

I was in prison in the early 2000 and saw this performed on PBS and have been in love with it since and wish everyone had the ear to love it .

It seems this song will never get the credit it deserves. It is the perfect collaboration. I can't think of a more affecting lost-love song.

I never knew Costello could sing like this ,the whole combo is truly marvelous. So sad people never hear these sounds, although both artists at least have had success.

Just saw Grace of my Heart after many years. An amazing song and perfect for credits.

From "Welcome to the Working Week" to the Juliet Letters, and then onward, he grew as a musician and a singer. It's amazing that I got to see Elvis Costello in my lifetime. I owe him a great debt.

Probably the most consistent writer of our time to produce timeless classics one after another for forty years. Can't say enough great things about my favorite artist. Happy 64 Elvis!

These two were a legendary duo beautiful vocals and song writing 😢I’ve spent many nights listening to them when going through the bad times of my life. RIP BURT 🙏🏻

So difficult and complex. Takes incredible talent to pull this off. Well done boys!

Thank you Burt. Rest in peace. He'll always be near a piano...💜💜💜🐦🌹⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a bad morning. I was driving in the car and this song came on…..pause…..think….feel….

This song always reminds me of my parent's divorce and makes me cry every time I hear it. It just hits that nerve. In fact every song on Written From Memory hits that same nerve. It just goes to show Burt Bacharach wasn't all "sunshine & lollipops" in the Swinging Sixties.

I think the performance from Costello is one of the best ever in that genre.

Been there. A long while ago and I still ask for the strength every day. The bell rings. A brilliant performance.

Absolutely beautiful wonderful voice ... this song is done so well ...

wow what a soul moving rendition never heard it done better

Great live performance Elvis! You have great vocal control! You know when to use your great vibrato. Burt great arrangement.

Burt Bacharach , a genius of a generation. Will never be another one like him. He saw something in Elvis Costello of all people and Burt was right. Like I said , a genius.

This is the first song I thought of when I heard the news about Burt Bacharach's passing today. #RIPBurtBacharach

Hauntingly beautiful.....i LOVE this version, never fails to make me cry. Elvis live was my best gig EVER xx

So long mister Bacharach, thank you so much for the sweet melodies.

You never cease to amaze me on your vocal range. Not just a Punk Rocker after all (in Spanish) ❤😍

Elvis Costello nailed this, what a beautiful piece of work

Descanse en paz el enorme compositor Burt Bacharach.

Elvis Costello you hit it perfectly you just don't. hear. the voice and music you feel itin your heart and soul

A powerful song. Brings ba back a lot of memories. Thank you BB and Elvis Costello.

This is a little piece of brilliance. I listen to it over and over. Elvis has some serious chops.

It’s just occurred to me - Elvis’ voice must’ve been given to him by the horns of the steamships that his grandfather performed on - nothing else moves that much air with such force and clarity

I am sure this is my favorite record in the last 25 years!

This song is so beautiful it makes me cry every time I hear it

A beautiful and powerful song. A great collaboration of composer and singer.

I just heard this song on a Dionne Warwick album, it didn't sound like Dionne so I came to KZfaq to find the single. Instead I found this. OMG, It's so beautiful. Chills and tears. Now I must see Grace of My Heart. Thank you for posting this. xox

Burt's musical talent makes any artist have voices like ANGELS.

Simply beautiful....I always enjoyed watching Burt play, his facial expressions and how his whole body gets into the music....the album that he and Elvis collaborated on is fantastic....Rest In Peace Burt and thank you ~

This track not only gives me both tears of pain and joy, no matter what obstacles and discouragement I go to, I thank the lord and Elvis Cosello/Burt Bachrach for making this song possible that bring me comfort,closure and composure of my hardships times in life and thank God for this, because when you got God, you got a friend, and that's you! Because The Good Bible is Yesterday, Today, and Forever! God Bless this track, and God Bless, Elvis Costello and Burt Bachrach for making this song possible. James1:3

This song is haunting beautiful. Who hasn't been here before.

Raw emotion. How can you not love it. I do.

Absolutely Outstanding...Elvis has not left the building !

Such a strange but viscerally heart rendering rendition. Burt you are a genius 🙏

Elvis wrote so many incredible tunes. I loved all his 80' tunes when I was in College, but love his softer, truly heartfelt side. Amazing artist. ❤💙

so powerful man grew up listening to this

Love this song, this album. So original! So intense. Good bye, Burt. You are one of the Truly Great.

This is a wonder Cd. The fact that Elvis can sing anything and make it sound special and unique makes him a one of a kind "Artist." I own many, sadly not all of his work.

No one can ever sing this song as good as you, Elvis! This whole album is outstanding, wish you'd sing more songs like this. Classic!

Love this song. Have followed Costelloes career since the eighties, i can.say with conviction Elvis you move me with this song

This song is very fitting for people who has lost their way but humbles themselves before God; giving Him all the pain and suffering when they're lost, weak and unable to cope in life. We're all wishing for a happy ending, sadly it isn't always the case. :-(

Wow. I love Elvis, but I think this is an overstatement.

so moving ... Burt and Elvis ... what a superb collaboration ... LOVE it with every bone in my soul. Thank you, guys ...

This song is perfection.....complicated on all musical fronts- and done to perfection- drop the ending thought elvis- you guys already killed it....

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. So much emotion.

It's great to know that great music is still being composed !!! Thank you Burt and Elvis!

Pick a song from the wonderful catalogue of David and Bacharach, what a fabulous legacy. But this one pulls my soul. Thank you.

Gorgeous... Beautiful... Other Worldly!!!

This album is like top five all time to me. What an amazing collaboration.

For future generations this will be like having footage of Mozart at work.

Phenomenal vocals from Elvis there. You could tell he reached deep down to get it out.

This song is PERFECTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for many popular songs. You are really the master of popular song in 2oth century. RIP.

When love goes bad... I listen to Give Me The Strenght.

3-24-2020 Coronavirus lockdown playlist THANK YOU for the music!

23 years on and pretty well perfect. Thanks to them both for giving us this wonderful piece of music

This proves that some music is timeless. The writing, production and presentation are inspired.

Man what a performance!!! RIP Burt

Don't know how it could get any more divine. Burt is already a Deity in my life. There have been very few and are very few who can sing Bacharach. The club is small. Dionne Warwick and Elvis are the notables

Such amazing music. These artists are coordinating during the peak periods. Simply outstanding music for adults. :)

A Masterpiece!
