What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

ELVIS PRESLEY  "promised land" vinyl, 1975.

his twenty-first studio album...
tracks are either country or country/pop crossovers...
ten tracks, a couple of covers, the rest written for Presley...
i always call his seventies material "feel good songs" because theyre generally upbeat, happy and easy sing-a-long tunes and this album is no different...
most of his material from 1968 onwards would score near perfect ratings because it is my favourite era of his career...

favourite on this occasion:






Maybe it's too late
Sometimes even hate myself
For loving you

Trying to be strong
Then night time comes along
And I start loving you, wanting you

Where is all my self control?
I'm burning way down in my soul
And needing you

Wishing I could be the man I try to
Hating me for wanting to be with you
Knowing you don't love me like you used to
But it's midnight, oh, and I miss you

It's getting late and I know
That's when I am weak
Funny how things have a way
Of looking so much brighter in the daylight

I hope to go to bed
And try to straighten out my head
And just forget you
Oh, but it's midnight and I miss you
