"For The Heart" was a welcome sound on the country stations in 1976, a sign that Elvis was still alive and kicking! Nice piano, and a bass-line laid down by Dennis Linde himself, gives this tune some punch, and Elvis seems to be enjoying himself with the vocals. I'll write some more later, but relax and have yourself a taste of some videos, music and links! |
Other Spins(What did the critics and fans say?)"For The Heart" is one of the few fast numbers in this session. In style it is typical of the mid-1970s, having a solid beat and a piano trying to update Floyd Cramer. This, plus the powerful instrumental backing and the optimistic nature of the song, makes a welcome change. Robert Matthew-Walker, Elvis Presley: A Study in Music, 1979 This song typifies where Elvis' musical tastes took him - a nakedly emotional, autobiographical selection, recorded in the Graceland den, with Elvis far from top vocal form but making the most out of the lyric.

Had a dream about you baby Had a dream about me and you Had a dream and woke up crying Well I can roll but I just can't rock And the time's going by, tick-tock For the heart that just can't love no-one but you Well I'm high and dry and lonely, I'm as lonely as can be And I stare out of my window Well I can play but I just can't win And the weather's looking dim For the heart that just can't love no-one but you Chorus: For the heart For the heart For the heart that just can't love no-one but you For the heart For the heart For the heart that just can't love no-one but you Had a dream about you baby Had a dream about me and you Had a dream and woke up crying Well I can roll but I just can't rock And the time's going by, tick-tock For the heart that just can't love no-one but you Repeat Chorus |
