God Give Me Strength

[rckymtnhighs]

I think this song is incredible. It hits me to the core.

[allenrholley]

God, only you KNOW my heart! I need your strength for this Firey Test that I am going though. Only you will get me through this storm! I have been accused of so many things that haven't been true; but only You can reveal the Truth!

[dfent3]

Dici, Dio dammi forza

[phree2b]

To My Daughter who took my last chance.

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

I'd give up 3 years of my life to write a song this good....

[shiznicks74]

Stunning.



[FjarilGoddess]

Hauntingly beautiful, as always,thanks for posting !!!

God Bless Bacharach!! Then I guess he already did1

[MsJune54]

simply beautiful.....I loved this song when I heard it in "Grace of My Heart" and this version is just as lovely by Elvis Costello....Burt Bacharach is a musical genius....thanks for posting it....

[helenkrump]

Love Burt, Love Elvis-->gorgeous!

[loosemom]

made my nipples hard for an hours.....two glorious, glorious men

[donyaar]

so...much...

[viniciusb1]

His voice is simple perfect in this perfomance.

[speck444]

now i know what music they play in heaven

[keywizjoel]

Unbelievable! I agree that this is one of the best songs written EVER! I am a male and do not cry at anything. Except great music. This is one of those times. I feel honored that I had the pleasure of ever hearing this song. Thank you Mr. Bacharach and Mr. Costello!

[4uspgirl]

watch the movie now,Grace of my heart

[pykkervots]

Dooff!! I've just checked out Michael Balls version of this tentatively hoping that the guy with the big voice wouldn't run with Elvis's ball and leave him standing. I'm back..he didn't..

[timelapseguru]

yeah....one of my top breakup songs.

[jagyyzmag]

I remember watching this (on TV) and thinking it might be the best song ever wrote. Well... it still holds up. Elvis's emotion is great for a very emotional Barcarach song. Wow!!! Very sad, but truly awesome.

[curiousnomad]

This BLOWS all the other crap out there away. Timeless, emotionally deep and honest music. Too bad you'll never hear this on the radio or anywhere else. Classic arranging also, with the flute doubling the flugelhorn. Ladies and gentleman, Mr. Burt Bacharach.

[druther530]

@curiousnomad

actually Toledo from this album was a mild radio hit. Surf aroungd on youtube, youlll be amazed how many people have recorded GGMS!

[nb1255]

Bacharach actually asked Johhny Mandel to arrange the song.

[mimileslie]

beautifull....

[giorgocanea]

Mio dio. great song....and this burt i think make masterpieces just for fun.

god give me Strength !!!!

[InsomniacChica2000]

He's so wonderful!! I love, love this song so much!!! He doesn't get enough credit.

[Holocostic]

I want him, I want him to HURT

..... and....

Wipe her from my memory, I might as well...

Ya I feel both those.

[ashark1966]

Loved the Movie, but this version is just incredible.......whoever said it...... he and Burt we're meant to work together just brilliant............

[raccoonpoet]

I love the realness of the lyrics, combined with the music, the talent...wow! I love it. When I first bought the CD, I couldn't stop listening to it, over and over again. I couldn't decide which song I liked best, they were all great. That's rare. Thank you for posting this.

[kebingo]

What I like is how clearly they both seem to realize they've written something even more memorable than usual. As they perform, on their faces seem to be inscribed the words, "how did I write something this bloody good?"

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

This is the genius of Burt Bacharach....real lyrics, real chords, genuine emotions we all feel in our lives. Costello shows he is far more than a rock singer.

[curiousnomad]

The attention to detail in his arrangements is amazing!

[druther530]

@ROCKSTARCRANE

EC helped write all the songs on Painted From Memory

[threadpusher]

his voice sort of sounds like rick james in this track....

[NadiaC23]

i love this song..

it's so sad....

[blugreen123]

he did an awesome version of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" specifically for an episode of "House

[sasho20071]

beautiful.....never tire of this song....amazing reach on costellos voice!!

[joelongweichen]

I just heard this on the radio, and was floored. Wow.

[goodgrr]

Bacharach and Costello should write more together, they really know how to wring emotion out of a song and lay their hearts on the line

[jhurst333]

That's like some magical musical shit right there....

[stefanoburaschi]

non sai quello che dici !

[haydemunch]

his best performance.

second only to that of the barman in spiceworld

[Xylomaphone91]

Wow... just... wow.

[Zirolia]

One of the best albums ever made, love it!!!

[playinhard]

Burt Bacharach's writing at its finest:)

[marcigsd]

This gives me chills. I loves me some Elvis.

[KieroTakoBell]

I missed this song! thanks for adding this!

[robertabrahamsson]

Oh yes!.. ain´t that great?!!

[skipper8257]

Loved this song since I heard in the movie Grace Of My Heart. That was the day Elvis C impressed the hell out of me.

[macbarclay]

Just a beautiful combination of song, composition and emotion. I just love this s ongand find it very haunting and memorable.

[gsbsimms]

No song puts into song a broken as well as this

[irongoddess]

I got chills! Elvis and Burt are the best! Thanks for this :D
