THE PRAYER OF LONELY HEARTS: Elvis Presley — “Help Me Make It Through the Night” 🌙💔
Originally written by Kris Kristofferson in 1969, “Help Me Make It Through the Night” was a song of raw vulnerability — a quiet plea for warmth in the face of loneliness. Elvis recorded his haunting version in 1971, during sessions at RCA Studio B in Nashville, giving the song his own deep ache and tenderness. His voice trembled not with showmanship, but with the weariness of a man who knew what it meant to be alone under the spotlight.

Unlike many of his hits, this one wasn’t about fame or glory — it was about the simple, human need for connection. Listening now, it feels like a midnight confession whispered into the dark.
