![Elvis Presley - Bridge Over Troubled Water (April 1972) [HD] [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/fw-85CgpgRI/mqdefault.jpg)
Sweat Son ..... Elvis never cried ever singing a song ..... NEVER ..... The lighting and the fact that he's in concert and not doing just one song ...... But you are right ...... Elvis was very Passionate about every song he did ...... Even Old McDonald ...... And yes ...... He really sings it in the show ...... "Double Trouble" .....
Elvis sings with his heart and soul ! Not just words.
Elvis is saying that HE IS THE BRIDGE. He will LAY DOWN like a bridge... over troubled waters to protect and support his friend. He will take on the rough waters ... the bad weather and inspire his friend to sail on. Its HER TIME TO SHINE!!
VERY VERY POWERFUL lyrics that Simon & Garfunkle first made famous but ONLY ELVIS could take this song to the NEXT LEVEL. Cant noone do it better than EP.
Elvis will never be replaced no one ever had his voice or never will
Elvis was a bridge over troubled water for many people he didn't even know.
He and his music still are for me nowadays!
Thank you for this one!🌞
For me as well, my friend!
What is the meaning of like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down?
Like a bridge over troubled water. I will lay me down… This song means exactly what it says. It means “I'll be there for you, I'll support you, I'll be a safe place, I'll move mountains that are in your way. And I'll never desert you.”
I will lay me down - his body (bridge) helps you get through the problem (troubled water). Basically he has his loved one’s back especially during hard times.
"Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down" means that he will stretch his body over the water from shore to shore so the troubled person can use him as a bridge and overcome their pain.
Elvis ❤❤❤
lay down like a bridge.... to go over troubled water... says support to me
This was one of my Mom's favorite songs, she always told us that it meant that when we have obstacles in our lives that we can't seem to get pass, that we shouldn't worry because like a bridge over trouble waters, God will help us overcome them. I would love to see your reaction to Crying in the Chapel by Elvis.
This song also makes me think of God. It's like a soulful version of "footsteps" 😂
Oh good suggestion; I’ve always really liked Crying in the Chapel, too. It doesn’t get as much attention.
Bridge over trouble water means he is providing a safe way to get over the trouble. He will help.
He lays himself down as a bridge to let the one to cross over the Troubled water.
What the line means is that will lay down over the "troubled water" & you can step over him & walk to safety
Elvis greatest voice ever to sing.. Elvis never wrote songs but what he did do was sing everyone else's songs and arrange them to sound better then original.. Elvis would have everyone back int he day wanting him to sing their songs for instance Dolly Parton song'' I will always love you'' that was later on made famous by Whitney Houston that song Dolly said '' i made that song so Elvis would sing it but Elvis's manager wanted her to give up all rights to song and she couldnt do that so she cried her eyes out '' Elvis never got a chance to record that song
When times get hard he will help, by offering his self like a bridge over troubled water
When God created my friend Elvis he was just showing off. I can't tell you how much i love and miss him, there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of him and all the memories we made in 10 short years, his death knocked the wind out of me i have never been the same since, Elvis was the big brother i never had. He is also my guardian angel. Graceland is my go to place when it get's to hard to live w/o my friend i go there and walk around and remember Elvis and all the beautiful times we had together. He was the only person in my life that understood me and cared about my feelings and opinions. What it comes down to is we both needed a true friend and we were that for each other. Awesome reaction. God bless you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn
God has truly bless you to be friends with my favorite singer of all time,Godbless you and so happy you have those beautiful memories, I'm so jealous, love you❤❤❤❤
"I will lay me down" means when the other person's life is fraught with a sea of troubles, he will be there, physically and/or emotionally, for the other person to help them cross over those "troubled waters" and get to the other side where things will be better. The bridge is a metaphor for his willingness to be of assistance to the troubled friend, lover, relative or who ever it may be. The song was written and originally recorded by the duo, Simon and Garfunkel.
It is really hard to top this vocal perfomance. And its masterpiece in every way. Band and especially backup singers shine on this one.
Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water I will Lay me Down, Means He Will Lay Himself Down And Become Your Bridge Over the Troubled Waters Of Life, Like You said He Has Your Back!
I will lay me down, means he will become the bridge for the person - he will lay me down - he will be the help - put himself forward to be the bridge ro get over what ever happening
Best of the best. The king
masterpiece, deeply touching everybody´s emotions
Yes, Paul Simon is a genius
ps even the guys who wrote the song said after Elvis covered it that was it thats the best it will ever get!
"The guys" being Art Garfunkel & Paul Simon.
A vocal masterpiece!
Absolute perfection on every level. I believe every word… and that folks, is why he’s the King!❤
It means he will lay down like a bridge and hold on to both ends so you can walk across on his back. Serious stuff. When I was a kid my mom hung a picture above my bed of two small children trying to cross a rickety bridge over roiling water in a storm, behind them a big beautiful powerful angel was spreading it's wings and arms around them, and guiding them, though they didn't know it. This song reminds me of that. A protector, a supporter and a guide.
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down.. so he will be the bridge for them
When Elvis sing you just want to stare at him his amezing OMGS😂
if you watch Thats The Way It Is - you will see Elvis in rehersals with his backing singers practising this and you will see him telling them how he wants it to sound!
Yes, his rehearsals from 1970 are so great!
Absolute perfection. For me, one of his finest live performances. So pleased you liked it
My Mom was a HUGE Elvis fan. I sang this to her when she was dying. She passed 2022. The funeral home put Elvis on for her. I say she's in heaven with my Dad on one arm and Elvis on the other arm. Mom was my best friend for 43 yrs. If I could've taken her place, I would have in a heart beat. I would've been her bridge if I could have.
"I Gotta Woman" 1970 Las Vegas. Crazy good!!
Voix exceptionnelle 💚 Elvis the best... Elvis est le meilleur... merci 😘
It means he wants to do whatever is necessary to comfort/love/ease whatever is the problem.
Like a bridge over troubled water.. It gets you across.
اعظم فنان على مر العصور لم ولن يتكرر الملك بدون منازع
What a beautiful song! ELVIS vocal range is phenomenal! You are so right! ELVIS put all his passion and emotion in this song! This is Masterpiece! I love your reactions! Thank you!
He will become type bridge over troubled waters and keep you from drawing in those troubled waters. I will be there for you no matter what may come.
Love your reaction. The KING. 💕💕💕💕
He's the bridge so you can cross over troubled water, he'll be there to help you however
Basically “I’ll be your bridge”
This men is the best ever Brother. Thank God for ELVIS 🙏👑
He will be the bridge
He's saying like a bridge crosses troubled water so you can get over it, he will lay himself down over your troubles so you can get through it.
The bridge he will lay himself down for you like a bridge
So beautiful!! Elvis gives me goosebumps
I WILL LAY ME DOWN....I LAY MY LIFE DOWN FOR YOU!!!!!! I WILL BE THAT BRIDGE FOR YOU..
It means he'll be there for you ❤
Thanks for your reaction to Elvis, love your reaction. Elvis means he will lay his self down to be bridge you can walk across ❤😊
Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel who wrote the song (their's is the original version) said, after hearing Elvis sing this song, that Elvis' version fit the song the best and he couldn't top Elvis' version. You can't get a better complement than that.
That's a lovely story.❤
Truth ❤❤❤❤
He will be the bridge for you to use crossing over the trouble you face.
It means I will be the bridge to protect your from dangerous waters.
It literally means when he says I would lay me down he will lay down across the water and she could use him as the bridge
Such a beautiful vocal performance by Elvis! Fantastic stage/camera direction, and background music. Elvis never looked better, and obviously was enjoying every note. Someone else already answered the bridge question.Thanks for sharing!
Dude, I’m stoked you checked this one out! I really dig it.
It means that he will lay himself down as a bridge
AWESOME JOB !! TRY ANY OF HIS GOSPEL AND NO DOUBT HE WILL BRING YOU IN AND YOU WILL FEEL THE LORD....
Entertainers today don’t sound nearly that good in concert and that’s with all the advances in engineering technology. And that performance was 53 years ago. Just a different level performer. One of a kind.
SIMPLY ACES MY MAN! 🤜💥🤛
Amazing song, but an even more amazing performance. Can't beat Elvis and his passion, authenticity and soul, not to mention that voice.
Consider reacting to "NFL Films presents Elvis Presley" - it's a bit of cool Elvis trivia that perhaps not too many people know and it would make a fun reaction.
Great reaction. Please do more ELVIS
Beautiful Elvis always makes his song his own.
His eyes fill up now and again. 😅😢
This was very much the way Elvis looked at life, he wanted to help and bring people together. He was executive producer of his music and put the Elvis spin on every song he did. And like you said he wasn't crying, baby he was sweating and passionate. Nobody ever put as much as Elvis did in every performance. That is why his gospel is so popular. He has sold more gospel music than any single performer in the World. In some countries Elvis is only known as a gospel singer. He sang and believed what he felt. Stay cool man. Thanks.
What a fun reaction but mostly, man I knew you would enjoy that along with so many other people obviously. But I'm so happy that you checked it out. Man not only does it mean a lot of things and it shows you how incredible his band and backing vocalist are, and he arranged all that by the way, every bit of that he arranged it and there are behind the scenes footage of them working on it in practice. But at any rate, his vocal performance on that just blows me away every time. And I always believed there are just a bit of Tears mixed in with the sweat on these kinds of performances.
I was going to wait until the end but man I've got to check in and tell you that the lawn mower at least so far has not been noticeable. Yeah man and as far as I will lay me down. It's just an expression that says I will lay myself down as a bridge Over Troubled Waters, I will be your support
Great cover !!!!
Treading over troubled waters means your life is currently troubled. Someone there to get you through it is acting as your bridge.
Loved it. Thank you!
Martin Luffer King crosses the bridge in The South♥️♥️
Hey Shon, I'd like to introduce you to another legendary artist that ran with a group of entertainers; known as the "Rat Pack" in the 1950's and early 60's. "Sammy Davis jr. - I've Got You Under My Skin/ Girl From Ipanema (Live In Germany 1985)" other artists in that group you may have heard their names mentioned, are Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin but also along with some you wouldn't have heard of before. They're style of singing was similar to Elvis Presley. They also performed in Reno Nevada and Los Angeles in night clubs just like Elvis did. If you enjoy the "Crooner" style of singing, which is the style/genre of singing Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin performed.
Just subbed! Keep deep diving in on the Elvis music .. we got your back!!
Awesome reaction 😎
It means that he will lay down on the ground so your feet don’t Tuch the water
He is the bridge, his body
Just came across by searching Elvis reaction and like your reactions! I recendly find out that Whitney Huston song" I have nothing" lyrics was written for ELVIS by his ex girfliend Linda Tomson, and as i always liked that song, now that i know that just tooked it to the next level! You can consider to put it at ELVIS list and also antother great song "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles that lyrics are about ELVIS (the writer inspired this song after traveling in a bus full of Elvis fans that were going to 10th Elvis memorial at Memhis) and react whenever you can.
Brilliant loved your interpretation ❤...huge respect.
"I will Lay me down" refers religiously to the ability to rest now in the Lord's hands/bosom now that one has crossed over the troubled waters. Resting on the lord is the bridge over troubled waters.
Check out Elvis “Burning Love” (Viva Elvis) it’s a remix done very well,and “Let Me Be There” from the Moody Blue album.
Paul Simon wrote the song, he had a big hit with it with his partner Art Garfunkel and when Paul Simon heard Elvis perform his song the comment that Paul Simon made was " How the Hell can I compete with that! " he also said " it was unbelievable " many song writers were amazed at what Elvis could do with their songs! that is why many allowed Elvis to have half of the Publishing rights because it was a good chance it would be a hit! Elvis made many song writers rich!
THEY BOTH IN THE AUDIENCE
THEY SAID WE'RE F.... ED❤
@@barbaramarkland7441 LOL!
❤❤❤❤❤
Love my Elvis! Thank u for this one-
I would love to recommend some new artists...
* Skid Row, Wasted Time or I Remember You
* Barbara Streisand and Donna Summer duet Enough is Enough extended version
If you like the Bee Gees.. Barry Gibb & Barbara Streisand duet Guilty
Tori Amos..Crucify LIVE!! Shes a must see live!!
found you awhile back reacting to Elvis and altho his are my favorite reactions of yours, i love the enthusiasm you bring to all of your reactions. love hearing what you get out of each one.. very cool.
The greatest forever 💕
Another amazing artist for you to react to is our amazing Australian John Farnham, I would highly recommend Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. He is so adored here in Australia.
Beautiful song and a more beautiful Elvis singing it with passion and incomparable vocals. Thank you for this one. More Elvis. Anything from 68 Special or 70 Las Vegas is 🔥🔥🔥
Glad you love that song its great and thank you Shon
Please listen to the Simon and Garfunkel original… it’s like a hymn that gives great peace. On to Queen AGAIN….Don’t Stop Me Now is a must listen!
I should add that I think you are Mr Fahrenheit! You’ll get the connection when you listen 😉
They piss
Me off too
Need to listen to the original by Simon and Garfunkel.
I heard one time that after they heard Elvis sing this, they asked how they could top it. His voice was one in a million, he amazes half a century later.
What he means when he says I will lay me down? My take: Troubled waters represents the struggles the person is going through, and a bridge represents a structure that will take you across those troubled waters to a better place but if the bridge collapses from these raging waters, I will Lay Me Down and act like a new bridge so you can cross to a better life.
This performance in my opinion is one of Elvis’ best. I get drawn in every single time I watch it. Bridge Over Troubled Water, carrying your friend and supporting them across the storm to better times 💙
Hi from the UK. Been watching your Elvis reactions from the start. Love how young you are and appreciate this man almost 50 years after he passed 🥰 Elvis just does something to your soul when you watch him. Captivating and mesmerising. You can watch the rehearsal of this and see how Elvis puts the song together how he wants it played 💙
Those fuckin Lawnmowers
If you don't love some Elvis.. I'm done with u.. so glad u like this
Like Jesus laid down his life. He would lay down his wants or needs to help.
As a bridge lies down, so that you can cross to the other side: I will lie down as a bridge to get you From your stranded side, Over The torrents of White Water rapids of grueling life, to safety and serenity. I hope that is of some use. Respecfully submitted for your consideration Gregg Oreo Long Beach CA Etats Unis
It means," I will be that bridge " you can walk onto to cross the problems..
Sounds slower than normal
It means he'll put himself in harms way for you 6:18
Why not the concerts in Aloha Hawaii😂
Good reaction! I appreciate your reactions and your enthusiasm for Elvis' songs and your interpretations of them. Just one thing though -- I really wish you would try to stop and comment at the end of a sentence in the lyrics, and not in the middle of a phrase where it ruins the full flow of the thought. Let the whole thought or sentence play out, then stop and comment. Just my suggestion. Thank you!
