Elvis Presley Song:

Separate Ways (1972)

(Music and lyrics by West and Mainegra)

Separate ways was recorded in March 1972, just around the time when Elvis and Priscilla Presley separated. It was released on a single in November 1972 and reached #20 on the top hits chart. You can find this song on the album Burning Love. "There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways, And pick up all the pieces left behind us. And maybe someday, somewhere along the way, Another love will find us."



This is my all time favourite song for 3 very good and simple reasons:
It has very deep, meaningful lyrics written from the heart
It's sung by Elvis!!
and it's the first song I ever remember hearing. Truly great song, that still brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it!

I love the song... It is so beautiful and heartfelt and so true to Elvis's life.... Elvis and Priscilla belonged together. It literally broke his heart when she left and I know he died of a broken heart. I wish they could have made it work and Elvis would still be alive today... Him losing Priscilla was just too much to bear.... He truly loved her with all his heart. I still cry thinking of their split.

My grandson and girlfriend had just went their separate ways and the girlfriend took his daughter Selena, my great granddaughter, away with her to another state... And this song sums it up right to the tee. Elvis was the king and will always be the king and the greatest in my heart forever, and this song brings tears to my eyes. And I just love Elvis. He is a capricorn, born 1935, and I was too. We have so much in common and I dream of Elvis and always in my dreams we are boyfriend and lovers. I was wondering why I always dream of him as my lover. He's like my family and we know each other for so many years as sweet hearts. Maybe one day when I pass on we will be together... Rest in peace Elvis...

I just divorced my wife and I always loved this song. Sadly now I have experienced the same feeling Elvis went through and when I'm able to listen this song again without tears, then I have survived.

This song touchs my soul.. as well as twenty days and twenty nights. The whole burning love album is a real tearful album if you play it without the song burning love.

This Song is AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL and meaning to it the meaning is him and his wife are breaking up and how much it will hurt their daughter Lisa Marie.

Dolcemente struggente, meravigliosa voce
It's not just his beautiful voice, but the pain that he shared with us through this song. I think it a beautiful song of a man who didn't know what he had until she was gone.

I heard this song on a tape, and though I am single (and will never divorce once I am married because I know my future husband will be the one Jesus planned for me because I am praying about it), I have suffered the pain of my parents' divorce. I also think of the part where Elvis sings of how much the divorce would hurt Lisa Marie, and I think of how she was broken later on in life when another musician came into her life and married her and she thought he loved her when he only wanted to use her to boost his own reputation after child molestation charges, and it makes me cry for the both of us.

The song separate ways is obviously for Priscilla as itt was recorded in 1972 just a year after she left him. Priscilla was the one true love of his life and it is clear that this song is stating their split. However "Always on my mind" was also a song that he dedicated to her.

I REALLY LIKE THIS SONG SINCE I HEARD IT AS WELL IN THE MOVIE ELVIS AND HIS BEAUTY QUEEN BUT I THINK THIS SONG SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED IN THE MOVIE ELVIS AND ME BECAUSE IT SEEMED THAT IT WAS FOR PRISCILLA PRESLEY WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS SONG

ELVIS FAN
You can find it on the album "Burning Love" which you can buy for example at Amazon.com
This song is just so special. I cannot express in words how I feel when I listen to this song. Elvis was the greatest and this is one of the songs that shows how special he was. I hope his new life is a better one.

Andrea
This song is the story of my husband and I. Everytime I hear it brings me to tears. I first heared it when my daughter was just born. It is so hard to say goodbye.

Ms. V
How might I obtain a copy of this song. I heard this song on the movie Elvis and the beauty queen, and it brought tears to my eyes, as this is word for word my marriage right now. I have surfed the net trying to download it to play for my husband but have been unable to find it, how can I get a copy?

24K Gold Music Shows
50s/60s/Elvis/oldies showband in Florida



24K Gold Music Shows is a large oldies musical revue (126 people) performing primarily in Florida. The shows are filled with lots of choreography, energy, and great fun with oldies, country, and Elvis songs.

The last 1/3 of each evening show is an Elvis Tribute, featuring his music based on arrangements from his 1970s concerts. And every show is different.

24K Gold Music Shows understands there was only one Elvis Presley, so NO ONE in in the band will ever attempt to "impersonate" Elvis or pretend to be him, nor even be as good as Elvis! The show they are doing is a sincere tribute to the King, with NO attempt to mock him.

So in 24K Gold Music Shows Elvis tribute show you will be reminded of Elvis through his songs, sung with similar arrangements to those he used in concert, and see some similar costumes to those he wore, just for nostalgia's sake.
