The song was a tribute to the legendary rock ‘n roll singer Elvis Presley. During live performances, Roger Daltrey gives a short introduction to the song, describing it as a song about “A man that changed my life at the age of 11. I saw Elvis Presley live at 11. Thank God I did, I loved him because everybody under the age of 20 thought they were Elvis and dressed like him. Everybody over 20 hated them and that was good enough for me.” The piano intro borrows from the Elvis song “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, and one of the later verses in “Real Good Looking Boy” uses lyrics from the first verse of the Elvis song.
Wouldn’t have thought possible that one day I would impatiently wait for more releases by a young harpsichord player… but there you have it, I think this guy gets near everything right. As to this album’s music, all I can say is it matches well with my heart’s heaviness during these times…
This is where the album was recorded: Temple de Corcelles in Switzerland:
