This is Tom's life every word of this song is about his way throughout life I'm from the Welsh Valleys same as Tom its hard to survive here I understand every word
Wow! Just found this by Tom writing about it in his autobiography "Over the top and back again." The song is from a musi cal "Matador" about a man El Cordobés who was a Spanish superstar bullfighter in the 1960's. 'An old school ballad, really, on a traditional rags to riches theme." Tom writes in his book. Released in 1987, it reached number 2 in the UK Music Chart. Tom sang this song at on TV's Saturday Night at the London Palladium too.
I strongly recommend anyone to read the book on the man this song is about. El Cordobes, Spains greatest ever bull fighter. The book is called Or I'll Dress you In Mourning, by Larry Collins and Dominique La Pierre. It is a truly extraordinary story and like this song will pull very strongly on your heart strings.
This song is not a simple love song with stupid lyrics "I love you, why are you leaving me"? .... this song is a musical work like an aria from an opera, full of song, which fascinates you, especially thanks to Tom Jones' unmatched voice ... maybe I don't have the right words to express my emotional effect, when I listen to it, until I have "tears in my eyes" ... can it be sung better by another singer? .. .I doubt it ... only a madman would dare to make another interpretation with the claim that he makes it more special than Tom Jones ... Tom Jones 'lives' this song when he sings it, with his whole being (he feels) to which is added the divine voice with which nature endowed him ... we simple music lovers, let us thank God that Tom Jones exists, we are contemporaries with him and we are happy only by listening to him ...
Nicolae Marian, just think, every WELSHMAN has a voice as good as SIR TOM , you can hear 60,000 plus singing every time the BOY,S are playing at the MILLENNIUM STADIUM 🤔🤗. PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND. 😎😎😎✌️✌️✌️🏴🏴🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
@@richardyoung7415 Of course I don't know what is on the MILLENIUM STADIUM stadium, but I don't go to matches in general and especially I don't know what is on the stadium you mentioned ... to compare the noise made by the gallery at a football match with the established voice of over 50 for years worldwide, Sir Tom Jones's is at least exaggerated .... but that's all you can think, no more .... I understand you ... all the best .... 🏴
