Unchained Melody

Artist: Elvis Presley

Album: Bring a Smile to Your Feet

Song Length: N/A

George's Thoughts: Neither the chart topper hit by Elvis nor Air Supply's popular remake could be used for dancing, but the Dancelife version on the album "Bring a Smile to Your Feet" is quite excellent and beautifully danceable. Perfect for party situations and done well enough that people will enjoy it despite it not being an original. Another outstanding version is on Ross Mitchell's CD "25 Top Waltzes" with a 30bpm tempo. It's even better in terms of its orchestration for the Waltz, but the vocals aren't quite as good as the Dancelife version.

Song Lyrics:

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time.
And time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much, are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me!

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me!"
I'll be coming home, wait for me!


Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered, hungered for your love a long, lonely time.
Time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much, are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me!
