Groundwork and composition [edit]

"Always On My Listen" did not come across completion until belatedly 1971. Songwriter-guitarist Wayne Carson had almost two verses washed, with the working championship "You lot Were Ever On My Mind".[ii] He had been occupied in Memphis on a project that required him to stay ten days longer, and he phoned his married woman in Springfield, 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." His words struck him as potential song material, and he speedily ended the call so he could capture the idea on paper. He brought the song dorsum to the recording studio of Fries Moman and worked on it for a few days, but it did not clot. Carson asked for help from his colleague Johnny Christopher (the two had already written the hit song "No Beloved at All" in 1970) and they equanimous more of information technology in Moman's office. Feeling stuck, they appealed for assistance from songwriter Mark James who was walking through the studio. James was wearied from non-terminate music projects but he ran through the song with Carson and Christopher. By the fourth run-through, the vocal was finished.[iii]

Music critic Robert Hilburn said that it was ordinarily idea in Nashville and Memphis that Elvis Presley's marital troubles were the inspiration of the vocal, and that information technology was tailored to fit his musical fashion. Fueling this conjecture was the fact that James had already written a hit vocal "Suspicious Minds" for Presley. Carson responded that the song was not written for Presley but for every homo. He said that it "was one long apology. It's sort of like all guys who spiral up and would beloved null amend than to pick up the telephone and call their wives and say, 'Listen, honey, I could have done meliorate, merely I want you to know that you were always on my mind.'"[3]
