"Always on My Mind" is aballad written byWayne Carson,Johnny Christopher, andMark James, first recorded byBrenda Lee and first released byGwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") in March 1972. Lee's version was released three months later in June 1972. The song has been a crossover hit, charting in both thecountry and western andpop categories.Elvis Presley's recording was the first commercially successful version of the song.

AllMusic lists more than 300 recorded releases of the song in versions by dozens of performers.[1] While Lee's version reached no. 45 on the US country chart in 1972, other performers reached the Top 20 on the country and/or pop charts in the United States and elsewhere with their own versions:Elvis Presley (1972, US country; UK pop Top Ten);John Wesley Ryles (1979, US country) andWillie Nelson'sGrammy Award-winning version (1982, US/Canada country number one; US/Canada pop Top Ten); and thePet Shop Boys' 1987hi-NRG/synth-pop interpretation (UK number one; US Top Ten).

Background and composition

[edit]

"Always on My Mind" was not completed until late 1971. Songwriter-guitarist Wayne Carson had about two verses done with the working title "You Were Always on My Mind".[2] He had been occupied inMemphis on a project that required him to stay ten days longer, and he phoned his wife inSpringfield, Missouri, to apologize for the delay. She was angry, and he replied: "Well, I know I’ve been gone a lot, but I’ve been thinking about you all the time." This idea struck him as potential song material, and he quickly ended the call so he could capture it on paper. He brought the song back to the recording studio ofChips Moman and worked on it for a few days, but it did not gel. Carson asked for help from his colleague Johnny Christopher (the two had already written the hit song "No Love at All" in 1970) and they composed more of it in Moman's office. Feeling stuck, they appealed for assistance from songwriter Mark James who was walking through the studio. James was exhausted from non-stop music projects, but he ran through the song with Carson and Christopher. By the fourth run-through, the song was finished.[3]

Music criticRobert Hilburn said that it was commonly thought in Nashville and Memphis that Elvis Presley's marital troubles were the inspiration of the song, and that it was tailored to fit his musical style. Fueling this conjecture was that James had already written a hit song "Suspicious Minds" for Presley. Carson responded that the song was not written for Presley but for every man. He said that it "was one long apology. It’s sort of like all guys who screw up and would love nothing better than to pick up the phone and call their wives and say, 'Listen, honey, I could have done better, but I want you to know that you were always on my mind.'"[3]

In 1987, thePet Shop Boys performed asynth-pop[47] version of "Always on My Mind" inLove Me Tender, a television special produced byCentral Independent Television forITV in the United Kingdom. Commemorating the tenth anniversary of Presley's death, the programme featured various popular acts of the time performing cover versions of his songs.[48] The Pet Shop Boys' performance was so well-received that the duo decided to record the song and release it as a single.[49]

Thishi-NRG,[50][51]dance-pop,[52] anddisco[53] version became the UK'sChristmas number-one single that year – edging out "Fairytale of New York" bythe Pogues – spending four weeks atop the chart.[54] It also reached number four on the USBillboard Hot 100, becoming the duo's fifth and final top-10 hit on that chart.[55]

As of May 2024, it is the second-moststreamed Pet Shop Boys song in the UK with 53 million streams.[56]

Composition

[edit]

The Pet Shop Boys version introduces a harmonic variation not present in the original version. In the original, the ending phrase "always on my mind" is sung to a IV-V7-Icadence (C-D7-G). The Pet Shop Boys extend this cadence by adding two further chords: C-D7-Gm7/B♭-C-G (i.e., a progression of IV-V7-IIIb-IV-I).

Critical reception

[edit]

In November 2004,The Daily Telegraph placed the version at number two in a list of the 50 best cover versions of all time.[57] In October 2014, a public poll compiled by theBBC saw the song voted the all-time best cover version.[58]

Music video

[edit]

In the video for Pet Shop Boys' version of "Always on My Mind" (an excerpt from their surreal music filmIt Couldn't Happen Here) (1988),Neil Tennant andChris Lowe are seated in the front of a taxi cab, when an eccentric passenger gets in, played by British actorJoss Ackland (1928-2023). At the end of the song, he gets out of the car and the car drives away. Standing alone, he mutters: "You went away. It should make me feel better. But I don't know how I'm going to get through", which is part of the lyric for another Pet Shop Boys song, "What Have I Done to Deserve This?", released earlier in the year.

Remixes

[edit]

In 1988, the duo remixed the song for their third studio album,Introspective, combining it with theacid house[59][60] track "In My House". Two further remixes by longtime Pet Shop Boys remixerShep Pettibone were released on the US promotional triple vinyl version of the album—Shep's Holiday mix and Shep's House mix. Neither have appeared in any other format since.
