Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number one hit in the United States. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate, just 42 years of age.
Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, blues, and gospel, he is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music. He won three competitive Grammys, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.
That's When Your Heartaches Begin
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's when your heartaches begin
When dreams of a lifetime must come to an end
That's when your heartaches begin
Love is a thing you'd never can share
When you bring a friend into your love affair
That's the end of your sweetheart
That's when your heartaches begin
If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of your best friend, your brother
That's, that's when your heartaches begin
And you know when all your dreams
When all your dreams of a lifetime
Must, must all come to an end
Yeah, that's, that's when your heartaches begin
Oh, you see love is a thing
That you never can share
And you know when you bring a friend
Into your love affair
That's the end of your sweetheart
That's the end of your friend
Well, that's when your heartaches begin
The lyrics to Elvis Presley's song "That's When Your Heartaches Begin" tell a story of heartbreak and betrayal. The first two lines suggest that if you find your partner in the arms of a friend, all your hopes and dreams of a happy future with them will come crashing down. The lyrics also suggest that love is something that can never be shared, and bringing a friend into your love affair will only lead to heartache and the end of both your sweetheart and your friendship.
The third and fourth lines emphasize the pain of having to end a lifetime of dreams and hopes, and conveys the message that this experience is emotionally devastating. The last lines of the song reiterate the idea that love cannot be shared, and bringing a friend into a romantic relationship is a recipe for disaster. Ultimately, the song is a warning to listeners not to betray the trust of their loved ones, and to never mix friendship and romance.

[Verse 1]
If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of a friend
That's when your heartaches begin
When dreams of a lifetime
Must come to an end
That's when your heartaches begin
[Verse 2]
Love is a thing
You never can share
If you bring a friend
Into your love affair
That's the end of your sweetheart
That's the end of your friend
That's when your heartaches begin
If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of your best friend
Brother, that's- that's when your heartaches begin

我突然明白點解我會帶旺一個地方
因為氣(Qi)之所在就是我
琪去到哪,氣就去到哪
這樣理解沒有問題吧？
(就好像《德魯納酒店》的井神,祂去到哪那裡的水就會特別甘甜,只是我是氣不是井神😮)
會不會我是沒有五行的
這二十年我處於一個被打壓、沉重的、無法伸展的狀態,地運就會是「土」
然後下個二十年我的狀態又不同了,玄學就將那個階段稱為「火」呢？
我的狀態=氣的走向=地運

2024 and this Musical legend still going strong, he touched people from all walks of life and his generosity was second to none, truly a magical human being who deserves god like status.
47 years this year since this legend left us and yet he still inspires the youth of today and i have no doubt that he will be inspiring so many more in the future.
