Song of the day

Sand Castles

A slow song with almost a lullaby quality to it, that was recorded in 1965 for the movie "Paradise, Hawaiian Style" and released as a bonus song on the soundtrack LP in 1966 (it was not in the movie). The song is nothing exciting and a little dull, but it is still one of the best four or five tracks on this really sub par LP. Elvis sounds bored by the ten "songs" (and that might be too strong of a word for most of these tracks) he recorded for this movie and while his vocal on this track is better than on some, it is not Elvis at his best. The soundtracks LP to "Harum Scarum" and "PHS" were easily the worst albums of his career (and this includes the Camden budget releases and "Having Fun With Elvis On Stage"!). Amazingly enough the "PHS" LP reached #15 on the pop charts in the U.S. and "Harum Scarum" did even better reaching #8!
