and when i die

[artanisdio]

Thsi Blood Sweat & Tears with the Great David Clayton Thomas on lead vocals. This is not Elvis Presley.

[MrAndyology]

this was in crossword puzzle

[JoNnYShizzle]

I have to listen to this song and the song Time by Pink Floyd when I'm on my death bed.

[PenguinMan98]

This is Blood, Sweat and Tears. Not Elvis.

[ZebraNeighbor65]

Regardless...of the damn Elvis thing...this song is still real good.

[metallicarocks911]

im get this played at my funeral ;)

[boogyshoes20]

So let me guess, Elvis Prestley was a big fan of Blood, Sweat & Tears? Or vice-versa?

[tiranchula]

My Dad's music.... love my Pop...

[kyrinasenci]

masters of music!

[duckypwns]

What's he mean "it's cold way down there"? When he's buried in the ground? Kinda doesn't make sense because hell is hot and it could be perceived either way.

[MrMidwestgreg]

@duckypwns Simple. Religious? Then you "burn in hell" Not Religious? Your dead in the ground.

[CRBjeep]

@duckypwns Actually hell was first described as being freezing cold rather than hot. It changed somewhere along the way

[Lightner445555555555]

@CRBjeep are you saying the bible isnt real?

[CRBjeep]

@Lightner445555555555 Of course it's real. You can see it can't you? Cinderella is a real book,too. Doesn't mean it has any truth to it.

[Lightner445555555555]

@CRBjeep Big difference between cinderella and the bible,jackass!!

[CRBjeep]

@Lightner445555555555 You're right. Billions of idiots don't live their lives by what is written in Cinderella, rather than science.

[Lightner445555555555]

@CRBjeep the whole idea of the bible just sounds way to good for some cruel and dumb species like mankind to make up.

[l00k0ut4b34rz]

Great song!

[61finnfinn]

This song has nothing to do w/ Elvis.......back in the late 60's one of the band members girl friends wrote these lyrics while they were on the road......Why they have used Elvis IDK.......And the morral of the song is there will some one to cary true music on to eternity........

[Grisostomo06]

@61finnfinn

This song was written by Laura Nyro when she was just 14. She wasn't dating a member of Blood, Sweat and Tears. She wrote a lot of popular songs done by different artists.

Here's a list:

Stone Soul Picnic

Eli's Coming

Save the Country

Wedding Bell Blues

Check them out.

[JamieJamiesonMusic]

Great song . . . but, Elvis? No. Blood, Sweat, & Tears wouldn't be too into that photo parade. :-/

[zelotalot]

dont want to go by the devil dont want to go by demon dont want to go by satan dont want to die uneasy.lyrics to ponder if life is everlasting?

[elvis633]

@zelotalot Life is not everlasting. That would be nice though. Even tho its unlikely i suppose its still possible.

[triton115]

@elvis633 If Adam and Eve had never eaten the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, life would be everlasting.

[CuteYetiTv]

AND WHEN I DIE AND WHEN IM GONE!!!

Pure Epicness :)

[marclois]

Someone is from a different planet

[dualityofman999]

I can definitely envision Elvis singing this song live in Vegas towards the end of his life. It sounds like gospel blues which he was a big fan of.

[woahhnelliez]

They're obviously an Elvis fan, just based by their name. Just because the song isn't Elvis, that really doesn't mean shit. Holy fuck.

[shorij]

elvis is my friends uncle!

[unconventionalmeans]

Great BS&T song! Kind of a stupid video, though.

But anyway.....great tune nevertheless!

[deepseadirt]

This song was written by LAURA NYRO(1947-1997). But Blood Sweat & Tears rendition is the most famous, I remember as a kid when it came out.

[poisonman1234]

wtf us up with Elvis lmao!

[Haqster]

LOL @ that elvis .gif!

[jordansand420]

I was so about to say who this is, but when i scrolled down, i saw that everyone already got the point. ELVIS IS LAME!!!!

[TypesALot]

I literally woke up with this song in my head today - no idea why!

[Billybike1]

@TypesALot  At least U didn't wake up dead!!!

[psychodelicide]

♥ this song! One of the best songs ever written. I wish I could write great songs like this.

[missorelou35]

J'adore !!!!

Cette chanson, je l'ai eu en compréhension de l'oral en anglais, et j'ai eu 16/20 ^^

[insanepoet93]

@missorelou35 Felicitations, hehe...je suis un etudiant de francais aux Etats-Unis. J'espere que nous pouvons interpreter les chansons francaises :P

[magcarril]

I think death is a transition..those that lead full wholesome lives, doing good & becoming the best they can be..Exploiting all natural talents need not fear it...Living in the light and not in darkness..Music, sports, work takes discipline..this truth shall make us free..Peace via music..VIVA MARIA!

[SuperJumpback]

NOTHING ANYBODY CAN DO TO ME- (BEING SCARED ) NOT ME !!!

[ChiefRRoss]

elvis633.... GREAT JOB!! I got it on the first note. Well done.

The other comments just prove, stupid people DO live among us.

[Thejbirdy]

Awesome tribute! "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thanank yuh ma'mm, thank yuh vurry much."

Elvis sure left the building alright.....

[igonnamesswithyou]

HEE HEE HEE. I like this. Haw haw haw. xD

[73outback]

I like how many of you people like to make assumptions straight off the bat without any investigations. At the end of the vid he clearly states his name, his youtube username, and the original people who sing the song. mean there is even the whole gand in the very last clip!!

What I get from this is the guy is an elvis fan, plain and simple. We all know who sings the song, so does the poster. Great song btw... I first heard this when I was 12, some 25 years ago.

[grandforksvibrations]

As a historical note here, this song was Bruce Lee's favorite song. Unfortunately his son, Brandon, died on a movie set while finishing up the movie "The Crow." It's crazy how life turns out at times....

[Thejbirdy]

It's a tribute to Elvis and what he gave us in this world. No Elvis, no rock and roll simple as that.

[magcarril]

@Thejbirdy That's right! Not in vain was he THE KING! of Rock & Roll! Peace via Music VIVA MARIA!

[Thejbirdy]

@magcarril Awesome!  oxoxox

JB

[Viperstrike28]

Guys, seriously, its a song about when a guy dies that someone will be born to carry on, whoever made this I dunno, may be tributing it to elvis. Cause you know he died... I'm pretty sure he knows it ain't elvis, its tagged as Blood Sweat and Tears, and the title of the video is not Elvis- and when I die. He just named it "and when I die" stop being retarded...

[elvis633]

@Viperstrike28 Hey you can read. I wish everyone else could:C

[leebusandlibus]

@Viperstrike28 it was written by David Clayton Thomas The singer in blood sweat and tears

[er20092009]

@Viperstrike28 yo, but it's gay ANYWAY BITCH!!!!!

dont be giving us your lame ass WHITE boy bullshit.....this song is fuckin GAY BITCH!!!!

[Viperstrike28]

@er20092009 thanks for ur input... I just looked up the song cause my grandpa was tryin to remember it and I had to correct some stupidity... shut ur fuckin face... like I care what you fucking think... for all I know u sit around and listen to shitty music too... so shut it...

[elvis633]

@Viperstrike28 Be nice to each other. There is no god so try and make your life and the lives of others happy and prosperous.

[TaqiyyaExposer]

@elvis633

That's some strong faith you have... There is NO God ey? So you have faith that when you die, nothing happens at all.

[elvis633]

@TaqiyyaExposer Actually i understand that the brain is what defines us and is the essence of our existence. When you die your brain decomposes and your body stays on earth. The brain decomposes thus you no longer exist. You act like its hard to figure out or something there is no heaven stop being silly.

[CuteYetiTv]

@elvis633 there is a Heaven :I your spirit goes to it, not your brain??? do you really want to take a chance of finding out if there is really a Heaven? because if you do that you go to hell... just saying, i am warning you but i cant make you, i am warning you, that all i can do

[elvis633]

@CuteYetiTv Well im just saying there are thousands of religions. Many of them claim there is a hell. All of them claim if you dont follow the tenants of their religion you will go to hell. You have thousands of chances to be wrong. It's very easy to see that they are all fake once you read their scriptures. In the bible it says there were giants, unicorns, and talking snakes. I know its wrong because im not retarded. You believe it because your an idiot.

[elvis633]

@er20092009 Be nice to each other. There is no god so try and make your life and the lives of others happy and prosperous.

[SinisterxSinner]

@er20092009 Go away.

[TheBunnyist]

@Viperstrike28 i think this song came out before Elvis died....????

[sageofsuccess]

@TheBunnyist

It was about eight years before Elvis died.

[Viperstrike28]

@sageofsuccess your right u genius... oh wait this video was made after he died... dumbass...

[elvis633]

@Viperstrike28 Nice to see your not an idiot.

[cooltooth112]

@Viperstrike28 was writtten many years before Elvis died.

[Viperstrike28]

@cooltooth112 ok... so im sure someone would use a song that was written before michael jackson died to pay tribute to him... this is what happens... the guys is obviously an elvis fan... stop debating this... its just a tribute to elvis with a good song attached to it... RELAX

[mustwinder]

@Viperstrike28 I'm pretty sure it wasn't written about Elvis, he wasn't dead when the song was written! I think I read some teenage girl wrote the lyrics.

[atisaseret]

@Viperstrike28 - ELIVIS?! NO WAY - it was the IMMITABLE & REMARKABLE LAURA NYRO! A beyond amazing Singer/Songwriter/Musician!

[theunnamed21]

@Viperstrike28 Even if Elvis had faked his death, he would be pushing eighty now. Add to this that he abused drugs and, well, loved him some food, and the conclusion is simple. The odds of Elvis still being alive today are so low, you have a better chance of flying of your own volition while juggling live grenades.

[Viperstrike28]

@theunnamed21 how does what ur saying have anything to do with my comment???

[ctdsnark]

The songs called "And When I Die"---and Elvis is dead

---so it KINDA works.

{then again,including pics of other dead entertainers might've helped.}

[EdMahoney19]

The web host and others are a bunch of freaks.

[BettyNewsinger]

Not sure .betty

[kalansss]

WTF ELiVS???

[metallicarocks911]

fav song by b, s and t

[galaxy637]

alone. eternal. one. potter. love.

[jayef53]

Many people have commented that this is not Elvis, but imagine how the song would have sounded had he recorded it. An Elvis version of "And When I Die" would have been amazing.

[Johan191969]

wooooooooooooohooooooooooooooo­oooot

[Ruiggie]

Lost my album BS&T3 32 years ago,think I've found it LOL

[marshmack91]

elvis?

[beckymanyheads]

love the song!

[celloprofundo]

I too, have seen Elvis sweat...if you ain't sweatin' you ain't rock-n-rollin', cuz !

[bklynboyusa1]

DAVID CLAYTON THOMAS.....SILLY

[8Zeitgeist]

elvis is a secert member in bs&t he obviously had ties to the goverment who obviously has time machines!

WE SHOULD ALL BE WEARING OUR TIN HATS BY NOW

elvis is a funny moaf though! thats for sure..

[thatsdrevilty1]

@8Zeitgeist  ALUMINUM!!!

[lablover959]

I'm passionate for Christ, but i don't take this song literally, but I still like it! It's stuck in my head!!

[jtshepherd1]

this is blood sweat and tears not elvis! WTF!?!? Blood sweat and tears is 10 times better than elvis anyway

[sarkabekrova]

@jtshepherd1 well,So ask 8 years old child if it knows blood sweat and tears. Im pretty sure that it say you: NO..and after that ask again but If it knows Elvis.Im sorry but Elvis is legend, blood sweat and tears are perfect but Elvis is better. (that is just my opion)

[thebigdipperr]

@sarkabekrova exactly...your opinion! :PElvis is awesome, but. I LOVE this song. i'm not going to say who's better, because I think everyone is semi equal. there's always someone better, and there's always some who's not. so why boast about it. enjoy the song that is RIGHT HERE ! obviously you were here to listen to this song. of course they put elvis in it. but enjoy. who cares who's better. :) music is music. love it, or fuck off.

[TheNukeGeneral]

@jtshepherd1 I agree wholeheartidly (if i spelt that right)!!!!!!

[waldo6162]

its blood sweet and tears not elvis

[TheBigEd56]

Well, in a way this is appropriate; Elvis is dead. However, I don't think he had any collaborations with BS&T.

[grover12able]

This is a screw up, but a FUN one!

[conndstevejam]

this is NOT elvis...

[LorendorStreet]

that song are bruce lee wishing for this dead zeremonie.sorry for my english.that song rocks

[JEEPTHIS]

ELVIS SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS A COLD?

[burgett727]

I concure, he really does!

[thomaskjr]

PS..Any Elvis fan would KNOW that this isn't Elvis.

[elvis633]

We all know this. In the tags it says its blood sweat and tears.

[thomaskjr]

Gotchya...my mistake.

[thomaskjr]

Umm, this has already been said, but THIS IS NOT ELVIS.

[elvis633]

We all know this. In the tags it says its blood sweat and tears.

[thomaskjr]

You're right...and that will teach me to be flippant.  sorry again

[manthasagittarius]

@elvis633 Kind of fun imagining Elvis singing it, though, huh?

Never mind . . .

[moremoose]

It's just a song, people...lighten up

[thinkmapp]

nice tribute to E, always loved this one - what a voice

[vjstonevfr]

please dear sweet lord explain to your childeren the differance between GODS

FORE KNOWLEDGE AND MANS FREE WILL-- TO BE ACCEPTED INTO HEAVEN ALL I HAVE TO DO AT THE END OF MY LIFE IS TO ACCEPT "THE LORD AS MY GOD --AND I DO --AND JESUES AS MY SAVIOR --AND I DO 'AND I CAN STAND NEXT TO "HITLER " IF HE ADMITTED HIS SINS ---- SO WHAT THE FU*K ARE U TRYING TO SAY HERE

and they don't have permission to use BS& T in this clip not with David Clayton Thomas cause ive been looking for it an

hour

[elvis633]

Christianity is a form of income and control developed by the Romans to help themselves with the population. Though it may be correct at times most is made to give hope to many where there is no truth.

[grace230608]

@elvis633 you poor poor soul .  truly there is none so blind as those who will not see!!

Jesus said ":I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY ME" My Father & I are ONE, Salvation is so easy and yet people want to put all the strings there. IT'S A GIFT, FROM GOD THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, NOT OF GOOD WORKS OR DEEDS LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.

[Alyphessa]

if you don't know for sure, don't even try...

[ajgolfer1]

This is blood sweat and tears not elvis. Having said that, I do love both.

[xxgrndyrcksxx]

what people believe has nothing to do with music. a song could have different meanings for different people no matter what you religion or your religous believes. so lets keep the religous arguments out of music. because i believe music is supose to bring everyone together no tear us apart because we find diferent meaning in a songs lyrics.

[roblance21]

This song is about the joy of living free. Despite the constant reference to and when I die, that is in the future. The song is about living in the now. There is no better way.

[edwardhl1]

Did I miss something here? This is not Elvis. It's David Claton Thomas of the group Blood Sweat and Tears.

[justlisten67]

Heaven is being in the presence of Christ & in the absenece of sin. There is no pain or regret & it is always in the present, no future or past.

[gibbystube]

the whole lot are going to hell

[justlisten67]

nobody's getting anything in a bunch. just making a point. If you have a Bible, read it. If not I strongly suggest you get one and read it. Forever is a long time.

[JEEPTHIS]

tell me justlisten67 what is heaven like?

[elvis633]

No tv on weekends :(

[elvis633]

Well you all seem to be busy.

[justlisten67]

as indicated before Mr short term memory, the Bible says it, so it is true.

[justlisten67]

Right... just asking...right......I don't have to question when I know. Stop watching so many movies.

[JEEPTHIS]

nobody knows for sure? what makes you so special?just know? really? you have no proof:) keep dreaming

[JEEPTHIS]

take it easy:) dont get your panties in a bunch.glad to see you are a believer. keep reading your bible dude:)

[justlisten67]

no, I only believe the one source of absolute truth which is the Bible & I don't believe any of the crap you've read which tells you to question the truth about the existence of God, like you did.

[JEEPTHIS]

relax frances just asking. ps you should question it will make you wiser my young jedi:)

[MrAltosax]

As a fellow Christian, I'd like to let you know that this is no way to let others know Christ. Hold your temper and work through love, as our savior has instructed.

[justlisten67]

Excuse me? Hold what temper? Telling someone to read the Bible is the exact way to lead someone to Christ!

[elvis633]

Im agnostic. The main reason i like this song is because of the fact that the band portrays the fact that they dont know what happens when they die. They have the idea of Christ but are not completely sure. I believe we all think this way even devote Christians no one is completely sure of anything. But i do believe that reading the bible will help some get some of the most complicated questions out of the way.

[justlisten67]

elvis633, the Bible is absolute truth, no matter what anyone tries to tell you. So you CAN know what happens when you die. I know that when someone who has been born again as detailed in the Bible they go to heaven because that is what the Bible says. Its really quite simple.

[MrAltosax]

I apologize, perhaps I misread your tone. However, as a former atheist and agnostic I can say that simply telling them to read the Bible won't help them. It's very unlikely that they'll actually take you up on that offer, and if they do they'll disregard it as a joke. A child's fable. They don't consider it credible, so it's worthless in their eyes. Working through love and relationships is the only way to let someone know Christ unless they're very suggestable. I'd suggest trying new methods.

[justlisten67]

Perhaps YOU could offer a suggestion.

[MrAltosax]

Work as Christ did, through love, peace, service, and most importantly relationship. Never through force.

[xxgrndyrcksxx]

yeah im not very religous for the time being im agnostic but i think if i were to find faith t would have to be shown to me i wouldnt be able to find it in a book very good point mraltosax.

[JEEPTHIS]

you are so right my friend:) GOD BLESS

[justlisten67]

This is a great a song, but I must point out that there IS a heaven AND hell & when you die you go to one or the other.

[JEEPTHIS]

how do you know? prove it?

[justlisten67]

Because the Bible says there is.

[JEEPTHIS]

you believe everything you read:)

[Saltheman139]

The simpsons, thank you blood and sweat, sorry to hear about tears

[TheAnxiousReporter]

Laura Nyro wrote this song. It's amazing.

[PaulSailsToYou]

The song I love

[Galbotorix78]

Blood Sweat and Tears

[TheWarRooms]

Karen Carpenter had one of the most purist voices ever, she also did a great job with this song.

This song reminds me of Bruce Lee who once said that this was his favorite song.

[philochs]

Great comment! Didn't know about it being Bruce Lee's favorite song. I love Karen's version the most, just as I do with A Kind Of Hush. Lenny from the Simpsons does the second best version, when he sings to his bowling ball.

[Cielodrive]

Love this song-such a classic.

[nobonemovies]

no disrespect to all of the people that everone sights along with elvis but this song is in no way about death it is the ultimate way you can live free.know there aint no heaven and i pray there aint no hell elvis pics ruin it try live version at whatiship 73

[virginQ]

Karen Carpenter covered this early in her career as a duet with Wanda Freeman i believe, awesome song and version.

great song!

[freedom509rwk]

I do rather like the original by the composer, Laura Nyro, also.

[midprod]

Its funny cause both The King And Heath Ledger died early in their carer, and they both talk about being OK with dying

[Ninekitties]

You do realise this is not Elvis singing??

It's Blood, Sweat and Tears.

[midprod]

ohhh, Im not to familiar to his music

[Bigbadben7]

This song always reminded me a little of Ray Charles.

[Rockhound6165]

Elvis died early in his career? Um, no. Elvis was 42 when he died and already had an incredible 20+ year career.

[mhswebshow]

Elvis...blood sweat and tears lmao

[x101st]

Heard this song as a kid in the 70s. Loved it since! Thanks for posting!

[Yoetah]

"When I die, they'll be one more child born to carry on"

That child will be me...[shaking head]...

how can this be?

[DLDAKST2]

this song is amazing!!!!

[AmmoCannal]

I don't get this video at all. The song is performed by Blood, Sweat and Tears... not Elvis.

I'm not hating on Elvis, it's just weird.

[elvis633]

[AmmoCannal]

It's still a good video. Thanks for posting.

[l619edesma]
