I’ve always loved the sound of this song - and as someone who was also confused by “do I really feel the way I feel”, I really love Lex’s reaction and interpretation of it. And from one Jew (me) to another (Marc Cohn), that line “Tell me ‘are you a Christian, child’ and I said ‘Ma’am I am tonight!” is one of my favorite lyrics of all time. It’s about being totally immersed in the environment; how Marc Cohn felt when he visited Memphis.

I love Lex's bubbly enthusiasm when she's into a song! This song got heavy rotation on 90s radio. Not only a tribute to Elvis, but at the start of the song he mentioned a man named W.C. Handy, a prominent blues pioneer. Later, he sings, "...Rev. Green be glad to see you..." This line refers to R&B legend Al Green who is also a minister of a church in Memphis. Seems Muriel and the Hollywood are real as well.

Like many other great songs this one has a back story. Marc Cohen was suffering from writers block a friend suggested he go somewhere for inspiration. He went to Memphis and this song was the result. The experiences were real, he attended Reverand Al. Green's services, he sang with Muriel Wilkins at the "Hollywood". It was obviously an almost religious experience for him!! I've been waiting for you to experience this song, now I'll be hoping for "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" sung by Patti Loveless and "Seminole Wind" by John Anderson, both are powerful songs that will surprise you!!

Marc was mainly a song writer, and he wanted to write a tribute song about Elvis. Someone suggested that he hop on a plane and go down to Memphis and walk the streets that Elvis walked and really get a feel for the city and what Elvis would have felt. When he got back home, this is the song he wrote. His trip worked, beautiful song that gives you chills.

It's the nostolgia. It's a history lesson. It's heartbreaking bcuz of Elvis death. It's heartwarming bcuz of all the rich history of good food, music, people Memphis produced. It's hopeful...young musicians going to the birthplace of his idol for inspiration. This young man has the blues in his soul (of his blue suede shoes) and he can't shake it.He also understands that it's not just Elvis that makes him want to be a part of this genre...it's WC Hanley (father of the Blues) Al Green soul singer and Gospel Artist, Miss Muriel who represents so many nameless/faceless people who contributed to the wealth of music and tradition in Memphis. This song is legend and Marc Cohn is genius.

Marc Cohn went to Memphis because he had writers block & thought the trip might inspire him, thus the line do I really feel the way I feel. Muriel was doing Christian songs we would know but Marc is Jewish and was doing the best he could, thus the line are you a Christian, mam I am tonite because he was stoked by the experience. Muriel told him at the end of the night, you can go write your songs now. Boy did he write a killer song and album. He continued with a great career and other great albums. He tells this story before playing Walking In Memphis in another KZfaq video but this the better sounding one, check that one out for yourself though.

Every few years I take a drive back to the countryside where I grew up as a kid, I moved away when I was 16 and has never been back except for those occasional visits. And as I slowly drive past all the places we used to play as kids and teenagers, and think back... I always come there _expecting_ to just feel nostalgic joy, and I do, and then I get caught off guard by the undertow of sadness that accompanies that joy. It's not the depressing type of sadness, I am happy, but still I feel...loss. The loss of innocence and of a time I can never get back, I will never be that young boy climbing trees without a care in the world again, that is gone forever. *That is what **_"do I really feel the way I feel"_** means to me.*

Like is he really, honestly experiencing something in this deeply historical place, or does he just THINK he is because he feels like he SHOULD? If that make sense.

We all have our own musical heroes, and the kind of music that is special to each of us. He is talking about making a pilgrimage to the place where the blues ( W.C. Handy ) and rock & roll, Elvis Presley must have been one of his heroes, & gospel had roots in Memphis, and that feeling you get, like youre walking on sacred ground, and you feel the presence of the great musicians that came from that place. Kind of like us Rush fans feel when we visit Le Studio in Quebec, I remember standing in the room thinking, this is the room where Rush recorded Moving Pictures, and Permanent Waves, & other great records !

Its funny because Tiffany's was a major strip club in Memphis for many years, and they played that song all the time. I remember getting in before I was 21 and we always joked about having breakfast at Tiffany's.

The story is that Marc Cohn was having writers block and beginning to question his talent. A friend told him him to take a vacation. As a big Elvis fan he went to Memphis and he came back with this brilliant song.

Didn't ever get that line until Lex made the comments about “do I really feel the way I feel”. It brought to mind how I feel about Boston and the song “Dirty Water” by the Standells. More of a sixties rock tune but before they cleaned up the Charles river in Boston, I still loved the city back then. That line in this tune makes sense to me now. Thanks.

Underrated singer/songwriter. Great vocals. He really did meet the older woman Muriel who played at The Hollywood. There is an interview with him about this song on KZfaq. An excellent interview.

Something about this song has always triggered me emotionally, somehow makes me think of my grandparents, though not from Memphis. Later on I learned more about the song, how it came to be from an interview I watched with Marc. I Jewish man from Cleveland, Ohio.

People often think this song was written by John Hyatt. He is a terrific singer/songwriter that lives in the Memphis area. You will love his gritty, gravelly voice. Try “Feels like rain”, “Have a little faith in me”, or “Alone in the dark” among his many great songs.
