I don't think this appeared on any of his original albums, it's a shame cause it's so great. He's such a great songwriter it's almost a throwaway to him, others it would be a signature song. The melody was later co opted by Eric Carmen for I Want to Hear it From Your Lips which was a big hit in the 80's. If there was any justice Bruce's original Fire would have been a top 10 hit.
@Mr1deful the song is written by bruce springsteen. he wanted to give elvis prisley to sing but elvis died. after elvis death he gave it to the pointing sisters
I like this verson better. Why did they choose such duller versions for the Promise? THe other studio outtakes on youtube sound better than th eversions chosen for other songs on the Promise
@melvisbouvey Yes, it is Bruce - this was recorded during the Darkness sessions. Bruce addicts will have bootlegs of the "Lost Masters", which are a collection of studio outtakes of songs that made the final cut on the album, and a lot that didn't. Bruce wrote this song with the intention of giving it to Elvis, therefore he must have written the song sometime between 1976 and 1977.
@lbr218 I would unload my bank account to hear the Big E roar this one out! I love The Boss and Elivis. Elivis taught mankind lessons that we'll never forget.
I thought I read somewhere that Bruce I had written this song with Elvis in mind and even was going to send it to Elvis to record. Unfortunately, Elvis died before that could happen.
@MichelleJHunter yeah... took me months to work out how he sings... I suggest song lyric websites lol, for the most part it is well worth working out what he's saying :)
@silverfencer okay, thanks! i mean i know the words from the glee version which i listen to 24/7.. but i wanted to hear the original and it's kind of different, but i like it :)
@blakevickrey thanks, sorry it took me so long to reply. I was away for three weeks with no internet access what so ever. Hm...thanks im like not actaully looking to buy it just more like find it online
@woodsideCraig I think this is the first time I've heard the studio version. You are right, he is definitely singing this like Elvis. On the live versions that I've heard he seems to give it a more Sam Cooke sound. Personally, I like the live versions more but this one is interesting.
