about

Dean:
"After my sister died a few years back a dear friend of mine wrote me a letter telling me how sorry he was, but also how envious he was of my relationship with my siblings. He had been raised by his mother, didn’t really know his dad. He moved around a lot as a kid and found comfort in some old cassette tapes of his mum’s. The one he loved most was an old Elvis Presley tape. He said Elvis felt like the only male figure in his life. His friend, his brother."

lyrics

I never really had my father in my life
Or older brother to offer me advice
There was my sister
But she left home when I was just a kid

You see my father left when I was only 10
Had nothing much to do with me since then
Just mother and son
Guess I was looking for someone to take his place

CHORUS
Elvis was my brother
He was my friend
Elvis was the one who taught me everything

He introduced me to the blues
Gospel, country and blue suede shoes
Those 40 greatest hits
Man I loved those songs to bits, knew every word

We moved around from town to town
Mum found it hard to settle down
But somewhere in those old songs
I found a place where I belonged

CHORUS

My father passed away last spring
Don’t know the last time that I saw him
Now I have my own son
And he knows he can count on me
