    "What's So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding" is an Elvis classic. Another gem is "Radio Radio"

      Peace, Love and Understanding is my favorite song of all time. It is written by his good friend Nick Lowe, which Elvis acknowledges. When in a concert with Nick he says "This is a song that Nick wrote and I stole."

    Elvis is married to Diana Krall, a Canadian jazz pianist and singer. She is incredible. In 2002, she released "Live in Paris." I know you don't react to much jazz but her opening song, "I Love Being Here with You" is definitely worth a listen.

    Two suggestions for your next Elvis Costello song: “Watching the Detectives” and “Veronica”, that second one was co-written by Paul McCartney (one of a group of songs the two have co-written, McCartney’s “My Brave Face” is another one worthy of a reaction, too).

    This song is actually about his desire to kill her out of jealousy. He “can’t stand to see her this way “. He’s going to “ put out the lights” and his “aim is true “ . When I first heard this song , many moons ago, I thought it was a love song as well. It was in an interview that I heard him talk about the darker side of love.

    In terms of classic Elvis Costello, I definitely recommend “Radio Radio,” “What’s So Funny Bout Peace, Love and Understanding,” “I Don’t Want to Go to Chelsea” and one of my favorites, “Deep Dark Truthful Mirror.” And for a deeper cut, and somewhat left of center song, “I Want You” is really good.

    Elvis Costello is definitely a legend!!! He's got so many amazing songs to check out, but I really think you guys would love "What's So Funny Bout (Peace, Love and Understanding)"

    I love, love, love the opening guitar riff. He's seeing Alison's life isn't all that great and that if he was in her life he would never hurt her like the guy she ended up with. "did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?" It's a sad song. Very melancholy.

    I must say, you guys have gotten really good at hearing all the little things that make a song great. It's been great to see your growth month after month. You sound like a pair of old pros, honestly! Really great job guys!

    So many great Elvis Costello songs, but "Oliver's Army" is the one that stands out for me

    Love to see you guys circling back on EC! Such a prolific song writer. He's just got so many hits its unreal! One of my favorite suggestions would be "Oliver's Army", but as others have suggested, I would also not be mad at you for doin "What's so Funny About Peace, Love....." either! ;)

    Elvis is one of the greatest songwriters of our generation. Saw 10 solo shows in NYC in February where he didn’t repeat a song!!

    Elvis Costello's song "Veronica" is a great song about an elderly woman with Alzheimer's, who had such a beautiful exciting life. Touching and catchy tune.

    One the best songs ever. The guitar fills are perfection. +1 for "Watching the Detectives" and check out "Goon Squad" from his Armed Forces album.

    You need to do a lot more Elvis. I love him. There's a song on his Imperial Bedroom album called "...And In Every Home" that is beautiful. Elvis has done songs in every genre. He has even written songs with, and recorded an album with Burt Bacharach, a pop jazz composer.

  • @garym6688

    We know you guys dig Linda Ronstadt - she did a couple of Elvis' tunes on her 1980 album "Mad Love" including this one (Alison). You should give her version a spin!! Elvis has SO many awesome songs that you need to investigate and he is STILL putting out great music to this day.

  • @Festus171
    @Festus171 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    He can do it all... if you run out of ideas from his heyday, check out any song from Painted from Memory... and album he did with Burt Bacharach. Oh BTW- although not so much rock and pop; his wife (Diana Krall) is an amazing musical artist in her own right. I love that you guys are continuing to dig into artists like this!
