Giving Me Strength

I’m listening to one of my birthday treats, Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach’s Painted from Memory. Although I’m fond of them both, I never had much of an urge to get the album until I rented Grace of My Heart, a sort of dreadful movie filled with wonderful music. God Give Me strength, the big showstopper penned by Elvis and Burt, gives me chills whenever I hear it. I like the Kristen Vigard’s movie version better (get it here), but the album one is also sublime, very well suited to Elvis voice.

One thought on “Giving Me Strength”

  1. I must agree, that the version in the move is way better than the on on the CD. I was a little dissapointed when i purchased the CD and the two were different. But the CD in general is awsome. I love the fell of the whole era….
