Lukewarm King by Joe Stroffolino published on 2024-03-07T04:08:57Z Elvis in the 1970’s in his jumpsuit and his cape. Some say he didn’t really die he just decided to escape. Over the year’s there’ve been sightings like Bigfoot and UFO’s. Of Elvis shopping at Walmart dressed in ordinary clothes. They say it’s good to be king – but sometimes maybe it’s not. When you’re coasting on your past glory and now, you’re lukewarm instead of hot. If Elvis was still alive, he’d be approaching the century mark. He’d be a tired old hound dog - would he still be able to bark. If he put on a pair of blue sued shoes and he tried to shake his hips. And he strummed his guitar on a street corner would people give him any tips. They say it’s good to be king – but sometimes maybe it’s not When you’re coasting on your past glory and now, you’re lukewarm instead of hot There’s day’s when you feel like you’re trapped in a routine And you’re going through the motions and you want to start fresh and clean. Somewhere between 1968 and 1977 Elvis took a detour and he ended up in Heaven. It’s nice to imagine that maybe he was sick of sick and tired of all that fame. And one day he just decided to retire from playng the game. If he sang that song love me tender would it till make the young women swoon. Or would they stare at him with curiosity like at the zoo when you see a baboon. If he put on the black leather costume that he wore in 1968 And he played the same set list would people still think he was so great? Elvis in Black leather in 1968 strumming his guitar he looked so good And his voice was really great. At the top of his game in perfect form he could have stopped right then He could have walked away - still would have still been a rock and roll legend They say it’s good to be king – but sometimes maybe it’s not When you’re coasting on your past glory and now, you’re lukewarm instead of hot.

Vocals ride over the recital-style piano nicely - good recording. 2024-03-13T23:25:07Z Comment by SOUND23 Cool Track…. 🌍☮︎👍🐞🍀2024 2024-03-13T18:06:03Z Comment by IMRE LODBROG Love this tender! 2024-03-10T23:09:28Z Comment by lil' spaceman love how the piano rains upon this part. and wow, i just looked it up. he'd be 88... huh. 2024-03-10T19:31:58Z Comment by Tomgroove very cool song, like your style, great vibes !!! 2024-03-10T19:20:24Z Comment by Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary) Hey man, this is a brilliant treatise on the King. It's a lighter subject than the minor melody lets on, though. Excellent work with it! 2024-03-10T18:56:32Z Comment by Koos van Mierlo Really good! 2024-03-10T17:00:44Z Comment by Jan madsen Ukulele excellent track i like the vocal ❤️ 2024-03-10T09:36:00Z Comment by mistermark freaking amazing lyrics dude. this song is hot instead of lukewarm. ;) 2024-03-10T02:57:50Z Comment by mistermark so glad there's folks on SoundCLoud like you posting stuff like this.

Great tune man. 2024-03-09T21:17:21Z Comment by Gaz Brownie Many theories indeed about the great King. i once met John Lennon who lived in a high rise tower block in a dream wearing white lace and wrote a tune .So its good to imagine the impossible. Great tune enjoyed 👍 2024-03-09T20:42:02Z Comment by Richsoundz Really like the pathos and prosody here.
