When Elvis Presley sings about heartbreak, it hits different and in “Separate Ways,” he doesn’t just sing about love lost—he lives it. This emotional ballad pulls you straight into Elvis’s world where the glam fades, the lights dim and all that’s left is real pain. It’s honest. It’s raw. It’s the King stripped down and that’s precisely what makes it unforgettable.
“Separate Ways” was released in 1972, during a tough time in Elvis’s personal life—especially his divorce from Priscilla. The song tells the story of two people going their own way while trying to protect the love they still feel for their child. With a slow country rhythm, beautiful strings, and Elvis’s signature emotional delivery, the song feels like a diary entry set to music. It’s not just a breakup song—it’s about moving on while still holding onto the past.
Separate Ways
Fans old and new say “Separate Ways” hits them right in the heart. The YouTube comments are full of people saying this song still makes them cry decades later. Many relate it to their own lives—divorces, growing apart, or childhood memories. One fan wrote, “This isn’t just Elvis singing… it’s Elvis feeling.” And honestly? They’re 100% right.
If “Separate Ways” cracked your heart, then “Always On My Mind” will completely melt it. This next song carries the same kind of sadness—but with a softer, more tender touch. It’s like an apology wrapped in music.
