How could an album be this perfect? The combination of Burt and Elvis is sublime - every track exquisite. If I have to choose a particular song it would be this "My Thief" .... heart wrenching.

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.

Some 40 years into my life, having had two ex-wives and what felt like a thousand girlfriends (all who were far too lovely for this ugly face), I finally met the woman who was my everything, the only true love I've ever known on this Earth. I've wrecked and sabotaged so many relationships, but for once I gave my heart and soul so completely and without abandon...something that has made it so much more difficult and painful to accept that I lost her. Three years have passed now and there still isn't a day that my heart doesn't ache with emptiness and a morning that I don't wake up whispering 'Te amo' into the empty pillow next to me, a message that I know will never make it to her ears. All I have now are my dreams when I am back on the beautiful streets of Guanajuato with my arm around her waist, happy in a way that I know I will never feel again. I truly appreciate this song...it's nice to know someone else understands how it feels.

This beautiful song from the brilliant album, "Painted From Memory" is heart wrenching and unforgettable! Burt Bacharach is a genius!! HIs passion for creating beautiful and memorable music throughout the years is unmatched. Elvis Costello is a singer whose talent is highly underrated!! His voice and interpretation of this heart wrenching song, as well as the other songs on this brilliant CD is flawlessly executed, and transports the listener to incredible depths of emotions!!! The piano and violin accompaniment add to the depths of this gorgeous song, and are simply beautiful!!!!

Elvis Costello has found his niche: it is in working with other gifted composers and musicians to create music SUBLIME. He is amazing here with Bacharach, also his voice combined with Paul McCartney's was so naturally similar in tone and character to Lennon/McCartney harmony (although I am happy the two worked together on the one album together and put this aside for now-they are both too good to limit themselves or try to conform to a certain musical formula.) Still, this delightful combination of talent can always be combined at will in the future...
