Heartbreak Hotel

We are well on our way to completing the song, You are all familiar with the structure of the song, and if this is your first visit to the blog, I recommend you start from the beginning to bring yourselves up to speed. The 2nd verse commences with 'Here comes the New Elvis Presley, gonna kiss and tell, light up the lights of Las Vegas, book a room at Heartbreak Hotel.' I like the inferences of these lines. Famous people are constantly subject to 'kiss and tell' stories in the media. The alliteration in the first part of the 2nd line also pays homage to Elvis's seven years on the strip from 1969 - 1976 and the last reference was Elvis's first number one. Heartbreak Hotel was written by Tommy Durden and Mae Boren Axton in 1955. Elvis never wrote any songs himself although he appears on the songwriting credits of nine songs that he performed. According to various sources this was down to Colonel Parker angling for more money for Elvis and therefore himself, but who are we to judge. Next time we will finish off the verse. As mentioned last time I am more than happy for comments, so don't be shy. My website is http://www.tunecore.com/music/guysimons
