One of those "hidden" classics - underrated and beautifully delivered. Elvis was so good at expressing any emotion through song, but in the 70s he certainly could put heartache and remorse across very compellingly.
'Could you go far enough to get away from your heart?' That's one of my favourite lines from a song. It's a beautiful and very clever lyric and also a beautiful song sung beautifully by The Elvis ❤
Really lovely reaction Seph and you really make me laugh to myself here in my collectors bedroom. I love that country twang and 'feel' in Elvis voice. As you know he was very clever to add that twang to every single country song that he sang. And there were loads as you've discovered with still many more to come!😀♥
Yay a quadruple 💣💣💣💣 - beautiful song and performance by Elvis - love it when he puts on his "hurt" voice and some words like "time" just has his own style the way he sings it - so glad you liked it but wouldn't call it a country song more just a pop/ballad but still lovely to listen to 👑💛⭐
You hit the nail on the head with your assumptions this time. It's quite obvious what this song is all about, for me anyway. Very sad but very very good lyrics. It's like he is singing about his own life and mine as well.😢 That's the magic of Elvis, he can penetrate your deepest emotions and it hits you like a ton of bricks, but in a good way. Like a friend that tells you his inner secrets and you feel a bond with him like no one else, bc you share the emotions. Some go to therapists and pay boku money for consultation when all you have to do is listen to Elvis pouring his heart out and you feel that he understands.❤Elvis❤
Such a beautiful song in every way. Priscilla left Elvis for her boyfriend, Mike Stone in early 1972. Elvis was with his long-term girlfriend, Linda Thompson before their divorce in 1973 so no, I'm not one who thinks that he was 'pining away' for Priscilla. As was true of so many of his songs, Elvis was exceedingly good at expressing emotion in his songs which was noted well before his divorce; it's actually what he was known for. Great reaction; I'm glad you found an Elvis country song you like.
HONESTLY I DON'T THINK YOU PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT.... IS PRISCILLA OR LOVE HE HAD IN HIGH SCHOOL... YOU CAN'T GET INTO THIS MANS SONGS TO SAY WHO THEY WERE FOR OR IF IT WAS JUST ONE WOMAN.. MOST OF HIS SONGS ARE JUST HIS TO SAY...SOLITAIRE EXPRESSES HIM GOOD WITH A GOOD PART OF HIM..😊
Wait till you do Loving Arms - as country as it gets and is just incredible. A sure fire S rank if ever there was one. Up there with the best he ever done.
Didn't have much time for this song way back, but it has grown on me over the years like Yoou'll Think of Me. Just gets to you and draws onw in as only few singers can do to me. -Yes Seph you do like some country I guess 🙂
This was one of my 100 favorite Elvis songs. But in answer to your question, who would leave the Elvis: any woman who had self respect and was tired of being cheated on by the Elvis. Look, I've loved the man practically all my life like he was family. But like family, I knew his faults. He was not faithful to any woman. Saddens me cause he never got to experience real mature love with one woman. The fact that, other than Priscilla, not a single one of his exes had anything bad to say about him, speaks volumes They never stopped loving him even though they walked away. He just wasn't built for marriage. Far too much temptation for him to resist.
@cherylspencer8024 The guy had everything the man in the street would have wished to have, so how the heck could he stay faithful or stay in one place when a 'perfect' woman was more or less available to him around every corner, remembering many of them were masters in their 'art'.
@cherylspencer8024 I will do my very very best to not lose any sleep my dear. You should be honoured I chose you to answer . We are complicated creatures 🙂
You are so right. No one in their right mind would leave this man. This song could pertain to any or all of his many loves. He loved women in general, most of all his mother. The song is beautiful and poignant. ❤❤❤
Everybody hates on Priscilla for leaving him, but so did all the rest, Bova ,Thompson, Wood, and some others!! All for the same reason, women and medications! It's so sad that such abeautuful person could not find the happiness that he was searching for!! Still love him always and forever!!!@timcarr6401
@@jennyjorgensen9935 Yeppers. So glad you are here Jenny. I don't hate Priscilla and I know you don't but if she had never betrayed his trust and said and done all of the things she has done, we wouldn't have to have these conversations.
Not one of my favorites either. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that, after all these quadruple bangers and volcanoes, "One-Track Heart" is still Seph's favorite Elvis song. But that's our Seph....gotta love his honesty.
@@kathifielder1110 Yeah, I too have a hard time wrapping my mind around that also. I guess we will have to wait and see if he changes his fav at some point. After his reaction to "Bridge", and he stated that surely this was the best Elvis ever got, I would have at least thot that that song would be his favorite and I could deal with that. But "One Track" being number one still blows my mind. haha
The rant made me laugh; love the song. I think Elvis chose sad songs when he was sad, songs that reflected his emotions, not necessarily his exact feelings. (The magic of Elvis - he makes you believe.) He adored his daughter and so his heart was hurt by the breakup of the family home. His ego took a hit when Priscilla chose another man over him. (Personal opinion only here.) I never blamed her for leaving; it seems EP was incapable of being faithful. (Although I've never had much respect for people who can't leave one relationship without a backup in the wings. For the love of all that is holy, have enough basic self respect and respect for this person to whom you made promises to end it before looking for a replacement. ←My rant for the day. 😅) On the other hand, she has shown who she is over the years and it isn't pretty. My personal opinion is that she hated Elvis and possibly hated Lisa Marie (maybe because LM was the spitting image of her daddy). The many ways she has repeatedly attacked and vilified a man who is not here to defend himself is despicable. I do have some sympathy for her childhood upbringing, but at some point we all must take responsibility for our own actions. (Not a fan of Priscilla, in case you missed that. 🤣)
Seph, you have to member that these sessions were recorded just after his divorce was finalized. He was in a bad place mentally. So who would want freedom from Elvis? Priscilla, that's who.
So she says. I know some insiders who say it was Elvis who wanted the divorce. He didn't want anything to do with her after the forced wedding and her affairs. He was a gentleman and wouldn't speak badly about her. He stayed close because of Lisa.
@@jennyjorgensen9935 True Jenny. I don't think people understand that for those of us that lived through those times, that we were around in some form or another of what was going on. I didn't have to actually talk to him face to face to know some truths that were going on during those years.The only reason he didn't file was bc he didn't believe in divorce. He could have exposed Priscilla but like you said, he didn't like to talk bad about people
Seph you are going to get a lot of comments on whose to blame Elvis or Priscilla. The fact is none of us including the Memphis mafia know what went on behind closed doors. The research I have done shows Priscilla was no angel everyone concludes Elvis wasn't. I love Elvis and I always will so my advice to you , if you want to take it is, if you love Elvis keep right on loving him. Otherwise do your own research. ❤
ELVIS: "Before you go, walk out on me. Take a look around, tell me what you see." (0:11) SEPH: "I see a beautiful man." ME: *melts* ELVIS: "So one more time, for ol' times sake, come and lay your head upon my chest." (4:09) ME: Oh, man. This describes the last night my ex-bf and I had in the place we shared. We had been living together for a few months after we broke up, but in separate bedrooms. On the night before I moved out I climbed into bed with him and fell asleep with my head on his shoulder, for ol' times sake. SEPH: "Why would you want freedom from the Elvis? He can go lock me up in his basement if he wants to, so long as he plays some music to me every now and then. Ya know, I'll be a happy bunny. And he brings me some food, otherwise I'll probably die down there." (5:54) ELVIS: "It places the lotion in the basket..." SEPH: "I like Country, okay! It's not like I hate every single Country song! Okay, it isn't that! It certainly isn't that, and this proves it, alright! Now leave me alone about the whole Country thing!" (7:11) ME: I'm so sorry, Seph. I too thought you didn't care for Country and may have been guilty at some point of saying so. Please forgive me.

@@SephPlays It's hard to pick a genre of music that I don't like, because there's always notable exceptions like, as you noted with Rap and Eminem. I listen to very little Rap as well, but love songs like Lil Wayne's "I Feel Like Dying" and OutKast's album THE LOVE BELOW. And I don't listen to much contemporary pop, but have recently discovered a real fondness for Charli XCX's "Von dutch". My musical taste isn't as broad as I'd like it to be, but through watching your reactions, I have found myself expanding my palate, particularly with Elvis. And for that I am grateful.
I DON'T THINK HE EVER STOPPED THINKING ABOUT HER AND LOVED HER DEEPLY... IT WASN'T ALL ABOUT HER GOING OUT WITH STONE... HE WASN'T A FAMILY MAN HE LEFT HER ALONE FOR LONG LENTHS OF TIME AFTER SHE HAD THIER BABY LISA MARIE. HE TOLD HIS BEST FRIEND HE WOULD NEVER LOVE LIKE THAT AGAIN. LINDA THOMPSON LOVED MEN WITH MONEY.SHE STILL TALKING ON HIM TO MAKE MONEY. LOOK HER UP SEE HOW MANY MEN WITH MONEY SHE WENT WITH....
That is her story. I think Elvis wanted his freedom, but he also didn't want her to take Lisa. He was too kind to talk badly about his daughter's mother. Priscilla, however, had no such scruples when Elvis wasn't here to defend himself.
She was never this shy, pure girl. She had been around the block before she ever met Elvis. She manipulated to get to meet him and she is still manipulating. If she had not married him, she wouldn't have been married to a person that was unfaithful. She would not have had to leave someone she never married. She knew he was sleeping with most leading ladies and others, he was hardly ever at Graceland during the time she leaved there. She knew what she was getting into and made her choice.
Seph, I am one of those that love Elvis singing country but I find myself feeling the opposite as you on this one. In my opinion, the vocals are not his best. The song is not one that showcase his talent and is a bit draggy for me. Maybe it's just me and this song is just not my taste.. Idk, you've confused me Seph with the A rank. Thank you for your reaction Seph. ♥
All of these songs i rank after hearing them just once. I think my mind will probably change on multiple listenings. For example I think most of his 50's songs are ranked farrrrr to low and need re-ranking. But I'm going to wait until 77 before I start reorganizing everything
- - - - this is more of Adult Contemporary, not so much Country. We are still in this (often) lackluster phase of Elvis' music. This genre won't win Elvis new fans (with some exceptions), and this song is too slow, depressing, and likely more driven by Elvis' emotional state in this period. He won't get out of it until about 1976 with Moody Blue.
Seph, you know I love your channel, but I've found it difficult to watch your recent videos covering Elvis' "divorced dad" phase because you seem to want to put the blame on the woman he's singing about. As others have said, he's clearly singing about his failed marriage to Priscilla at this time, and I think it's irresponsible to point fingers and say things like "how could anyone leave Elvis" and calling her a "silly woman" when the fact of the matter is, none of us were there or in her shoes. Yes, Elvis was a talented singer and an exceptional human being, but that doesn't mean he was necessarily a great romantic partner or a responsible co-parent. He was touring heavily in the 70s and he left Priscilla and Lisa Marie home alone most of the time. He was addicted to the adoration he got from his fans and chased that addiction to the detriment of his personal relationships. Even his close friends and members of the Memphis Mafia who would go on tour with Elvis have said things like, "our wives didn't leave us, we left them." I would implore you to learn more about this time period in Elvis' life before making statements that will fan the flames of certain contingencies of the Elvis fandom who think Priscilla is the Devil incarnate (yes these people exist, some have commented here).
Oh, good grief. Don't get on Seph about this silly stuff. He just loves Elvis like we all do. I would never have left him or had affairs with his friends.😂
@@jennyjorgensen9935 You call it silly stuff, but then you can't help but get a shot in at Priscilla. It's so toxic and I wish we could just talk about the music.
Elvis was the most iconic entertainer. And he felt alive when he was singing to the people who loved what he did and maybe he shouldn't have got married. The? Whole world loved him. And Priscilla just could not Compete with that match love.❤
@@jennyjorgensen9935 If you watch the video and read my comment, you'll see I'm responding directly to Seph's own statements. I didn't choose to bring Elvis' personal life into this space.

Whole world loved him. And Priscilla just could not Compete with that match love.❤
@@spaghettifieldsforever, you were NOT just talking about the music. When you do, I will follow suit.😂❤
@@jennyjorgensen9935 If you watch the video and read my comment, you'll see I'm responding directly to Seph's own statements. I didn't choose to bring Elvis' personal life into this space.
