The song \u2018Always On My Mind\u2019 is often associated with Elvis Presley even though it was not written by or about him. <\/p>\n

A number factors, some practical and some sympathetic, have contributed to this. Presley’s status as one of, if not the largest, recording artists of the age in 1972, <\/p>\n

when he recorded his rendition of the song, is a major factor. By that reasoning, any song he covers will forever be associated with Elvis. <\/p>\n

That he recorded it not long after amicably divorcing Priscilla is the explanation I like best since I think it gets at a deeper human truth. <\/p>\n

Because of this, the song touches the hearts of everyone who hears it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Watching this clip is a terrific way to get a feel for how Elvis’s isolation influenced his performance. <\/p>\n

Elvis and his relationship with Priscilla are first introduced in a narrated prologue. <\/p>\n

\u2018Elvis’s divorce was probably the hardest thing for him to accept in his life. After making news with their Las Vegas wedding five years prior, <\/p>\n

Elvis and Priscilla were now in court to finalize their divorce…. Elvis had suffered a devastating loss that would haunt him forever. <\/p>\n

Moving on, we see Elvis give a performance in which you can feel every nuance of the song.
\nKnowing the backstory between <\/p>\n

Elvis and his ex-wife makes it clear that he is singing honestly about his personal heartbreak, making the song considerably more powerful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No longer is he \u2018beautiful boy\u2019 Elvis, but rather the more experienced and wiser man who remains.
\nKnowing that he is singing about his own suffering rips your heart. <\/p>\n

Elvis’s ability to sing from the heart is well-known, but it is more moving when he does so in a love song. But, when he sings about his suffering, the audience feels it in their bones. <\/p>\n

Their history together, both good and bad, is explored in the video. Very emotional highs and lows are guaranteed. <\/p>\n

We get to witness them on family trips with their kids, all while listening to Elvis’s angelic voice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m sure a lot of Elvis’ adolescent fangirls were overjoyed to hear that he was back on the market, but I can only imagine the bittersweetness of the situation. <\/p>\n

It would be heartbreaking to see Elvis so obviously distressed by his love for Presley. Those who still hold the \u2018King of Rock\u2019<\/p>\n

in such high esteem must have had this song permanently etched into their brains, as he continues to be revered to this day.<\/p>\n

At one time, he appeared to be enjoying life.
\nBecause of his tragically early passing, many have lamented that Elvis’s absence from the music industry would never be fully filled. <\/p>\n

Every teen heartthrob, as they develop into adulthood, is inevitably likened to Elvis. Can they, however, achieve the same depth of emotional truth? <\/p>\n
