Sang this tonight at karaoke

Never comfortable with the song for its context.

I’ve always felt it was one of those songs that was “in that moment, in that time”

The incredible events of time is why Elvis sang it.....once

Bobby Kennedy and then Martin Luther King had been assassinated. The times of the 60’s were marred by so much violence, whose goal was to destroy rationalized relations between races and political ideology, the song seeks begs us to become equal as humans.

I sing it fine but, only Elvis could deliver that song and message.
