About the song
“Something.” Just the title alone evokes a sense of nostalgia, doesn’t it? For those of us who lived through the golden age of rock ‘n’ roll, the name **Elvis Presley** needs no introduction. But even for younger listeners, his voice remains an iconic force in music history. In 1973, Elvis was in the midst of his Las Vegas residency, a period marked by both his legendary stage presence and the growing complexities of his personal life. It was during this time that he recorded “Something,” a song originally penned by **George Harrison** of The Beatles.
Now, Harrison’s original version is a masterpiece in its own right—a tender, heartfelt declaration of love. But Elvis, with that unmistakable baritone and his innate ability to connect with an audience, transformed “Something” into something uniquely his own. His rendition, captured during the “Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite” concert, showcases a more soulful, almost vulnerable side of the King. The orchestral arrangement, while grand, doesn’t overpower Elvis’s voice; instead, it complements his delivery, adding a layer of emotional depth to the song.
What makes Elvis’s “Something” particularly poignant is the context in which it was performed. By 1973, Elvis had been a superstar for nearly two decades. He had seen the highs of fame and the lows of personal struggle. Yet, on that Hawaiian stage, he poured his heart into every note, reminding us why he was, and always will be, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
For those of us who have lived through the ups and downs of life, Elvis’s “Something” resonates on a deeper level. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of change and uncertainty, there’s always something worth holding onto—be it love, memory, or the enduring power of a truly great song. And in the hands of **Elvis Presley**, “Something” becomes more than just a song; it becomes a timeless testament to the human spirit.

Lyrics
From the Beatles song, ladies and gentlemen
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover, ah, ah, damn
Something in the way she woos me
Don’t wanna leave her now
You know I believe and how
Something in her smile that shows
I don’t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don’t wanna leave her now
You know I believe and how
You’re asking me, “Will my love grow?”
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around now, it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know
Something in the way she moves
Gets me like no other
Something in the way she woos me
Don’t wanna leave her now
You know I believe and how
You’re asking me, “Will my love grow?”
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around now, it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don’t wanna leave her now
You know I believe and how
Yeah, baby
Thank you very much
There was a guy, er –
Excuse me
