Remembering Elvis

I write this blog entry as a small tribute to Elvis Presley. It’s been 32 years since he’s passin’ away and his legacy’s value it’s been increasing during all this time…

If something marked my life of a very unique way, it gotta be, definitely, Elvis Presley. It would take me pages and pages writting what he means to me and how much he had influenced my life over the years. But today I want to express in some lines (or at least to try), my feelings for my darling. Yes, today: August 16th of 2009.

I consider myself lucky (besides some other reasons 😉 ) for being a music lover. If you’ve read my blog, you may know that music is pure oxygen to my soul. But before becoming a music lover in general, I fall for Elvis when I was only seven years old. My parents used to play oldies music and also, back in the 90s, there was a tv serie about the marvelous Elvis’ early years…

Anyway, whatever the reason was, I’ve always thought that becoming an Elvis fan was “something magical“. Yes, reasons may not be explained, cause no matter how or why, I bacame an Elvis fan and that made (makes) me happy.

To my little friend…

There’s a song that has a particular power of making me feel better. Is a deep song with marvelous and touching lyrics. I remember myself hearing it when I was ten years old. Since that first time, this musical poem became a funtain of strength to me. This time, I want to post this song here as a tribute to a truly beloved friend of mine who passed away recently.

My favorite version of this song with Elvis Presley: the also powerful performance from Elvis On Tour (1972) documentaire. Every note of this song describes what my friend always ment for me: a Bridge Over Troubled Water…

So, here it goes for him:

With all my love,

Wendy.
