For this specific album, I channel my energy from one cartoon character. She's from Hawaii, cute as a button and she's got herself an alien friend. Yes, you are right on the money! It's Lilo! And why the hell not? I don't know anyone in real life and in movies who is passionate about Elvis like her.
This album is really quick. All songs are less than 3 minutes. I got up this morning, ate my breakfast while playing this album on youtube and by the time that I'm finished, He's done too. I recognized familiar songs right away like The Blue Suede Shoes and of course Tutti Frutti. I was happy with the decision to listen to it first thing in the morning. I felt vibrant afterwards, like I got a shot of sugar in my veins. And you know what's weird, I can't stop thinking of pineapples too. If you ask me, it's the kind of album I'd like to listen to if I'm on a beach and sipping pineapple juice while my hammock sway back and forth like ocean waves.
I felt a little John Lennon when I heard the song "Trying To Get To You". I love it when I can hear other people from another one's voice, like the way I hear a little Jim Morisson on Jeff Buckley when he sang Mojo Pin. If songs remind us of people, all the more with voices.
Majority of the songs are just too fast for my taste. I prefer Elvis most for his slow melodic songs. I wish I'll Never Let You Go and Blue Moon is more than 3 minutes because it so good. I now understand why women back in his day are crazy for him. The dude sings like a bird that sometimes it feels like he's cooing like one.
Imagine two birds, one girl and one boy. The female bird is inside a cage, fragile and beautiful and alone. Then all of a sudden, out comes this stray bird from nowhere. It stayed on the window only to sing for the female bird. This to me, is definitely a courtship album.
