Ofcourse it is in the eye (ear) of the beholder....I just really prefer the Elvis version as it seems just that much more sincere. It's that bit more than an country song. No pin intended Tom, Joan and others......
Charlie Hodge tells a story when Tom Jones first recorded this. Elvis N Hollywood making movies, bout a yr since he'd been home in Memphis, Headed back home they were listening to a DJ that Elvis knew in Ar. He played this new song. Charlie said the whole bunch were in tears they were so home sick. Every time they passed a phone booth. Elvis would stop the bus, call the DJ to play this record. He would announce the King is on the road headed home to Memphis wants to hear this song again.
I have played this song many times over the years, and its about an Inmate who has been in prison for some time, and he is dreaming of the ggg of home, 4 gray walls, a guard, and an old Padre, yes he is in a casket for burial. Curley Putman wrote the song, and he must have known a lot about prison.
@davebrom1 Porter Wagnor wrote the song (a country singer). I think he wrote it, anyway he did the first recording. I don't remember if Elvis recorded it before or after Tom Jones.
I have listened to many versions of this song and Elvis probably is the best. I spent a couple years in south east asia during the sixties and we had a little club where we could chill out and drink a few beers and there was a local band that tried to play american music and when they played this song if one did not stand up folks put a hurt on him. Never forget where your green green grass of home was. lisbonny61
I know its a i different meaning but it is strange, Elvis is right when he sang this song, "Yes they`ll all come to see me, as they lay me beneath the green green grass of home. Yes they do go to see him, by the millions. God Bless you Elvis, love you yesterday, today, tomorrow and always.
Its a shame for other artists. No matter which song Elvis sings, he always sings it better than them. I love Tom Jones but when I heard this I could not help think that it was better !
made me cry! makes you think about how easily a precious life can be taken away, especially someone who had such an impact on people.I love you Elvis Presley x rest in paradise x
@ShawtyLikeMe2007 He was a bright vibrant life, an exceptional soul, We will never forget the day he came into our lives & we went through this world with him. We were privileged to share his life. Weve heard about & witnessed his unequaled generosity, & giving of himself to everyone. His life impacted the WHOLE WORLD, just the mention of his name , we know! We R all, just a little bit better for him having been here. Open our eyes that we will see the heart of this truly exceptional soul.
@onstageagain A guy said this the other day about Clarence Clemons, and, for all his flaws, I'll say it about Elvis too: All he did was improve the Earth. How many people can say that they did that?
I think this is the best version of this song ! Elvis could do any type of music , he was so versatile. He could do rock , pop ,ghospel , country and blues .He was just something else ! And he was sooo sexy I love him
@dmljm Oh!! yes the magnific song!! <<<<l'herbe est toujours plus verte à la maison.!!Dieu que j'aime cette chanson, peu importe l'interprête!! Quant on aime son pays, on le chante
This is easily one of the greatest songs ever written. I'm so very glad that Elvis chose to record it. This video was absolutely perfect in every way, 10 Stars as always Marco. Elvis forever.
This is an Amasing song from The King. :-)
