Elvis Presley - There Goes My Everything - 11 August 1970 MS - Re-edited with Stereo audio

As the years progress many songs date quite badly and there can be many reasons for this. One reason can be references to fads of the time others like 'Western Union' or Glen Campbell's 'Wichita Lineman' refer to a bygone technology which would have many a teenager scratching their head, looking at their smartphone and going 'Tele..what??'.
Other's however fall into a category of changing times and attitudes and songs like 'US Male' and 'There Goes My Everything' could quite possibly fall into that category. In both cases it is the perception of slightly misogynistic lyrics which make that so - a fact pointed out to me by teenagers within my family. They pointed to the words 'There goes my only possession' which suggests ownership of a woman. It can be surmised that in 1965 when the song was written that the line would not have raised an eyebrow but of course today is a different world!!
The song itself is a typical sixties country song telling of a breakdown of a relationship and the hurt it is causing. Elvis recorded it on 8 June 1970 during his "Nashville marathon' and was the first song recorded during that final day of recordings.
Elvis performed it twice during filming of 'That's The Way It Is' during consecutive midnight shows of 11 and 12 August but appears not to have used again for the remainder of the engagement. This could be pure coincidence or it could suggest by his introduction of the song that it was an attempt to promote the upcoming 'Country' album on which the song was included. If so, it would of course have been at the mercy of the film's director and editor and inevitably both performances ended up on the cutting room floor!!
The first performance was resurrected and included in 1992's 'The Lost Performances' but not for the TTWII 2001 re-edited version.
As with all of these videos, to get the most out of the re-edited audio, I highly recommend you use ear /headphones and turn the volume up as much as you dare!
