We can’t go on together

Quick one today: a very fine cover of one of my favorite Elvis songs:

Suspicious Minds – My Morning Jacket

More low-key than the original, this one is pretty much just Jim James and his guitar. The simplicity helps to give the song depth. Where the original is more of a call to arms, to fight for their love, this one is plaintive but tired. You get the sense that he knows it’s doomed but just doesn’t want to admit it.
