Elvis Presley – Follow That Dream

Introduction

Follow That Dream: Chasing Aspirations with The King

Elvis Presley’s “Follow That Dream” isn’t just a catchy tune; it’s a motivational anthem disguised in a rock and roll beat. Released in 1962, the song served as the title track for Presley’s film of the same name.

The film, and by extension the song, tells the story of the Stubbs family, a group traveling through Florida in search of a fresh start. They embody the American spirit of chasing dreams and overcoming obstacles. “Follow That Dream” perfectly captures this sentiment.

Written by Fred Wise and Ben Weisman, the song’s origins lie in RCA Studio B, Nashville, Tennessee in 1961. Elvis’ powerful vocals weave through the optimistic lyrics, urging listeners to “keep on hopin’, keep on tryin'”. The driving rhythm section and prominent handclaps further emphasize the message of perseverance.

“Follow That Dream” wasn’t just a movie soundtrack hit. Released as the first track on an EP of the same name, the song achieved gold and platinum status decades later, a testament to its enduring appeal. Whether you’re a lifelong Elvis fan or simply someone who needs a pick-me-up, “Follow That Dream” serves as a reminder that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.

“The death of Robin Gibb was not simply the result of fame or life’s choices. It was the heartbreaking conclusion of a journey marked by silent battles — struggles written into his very body long before the world ever knew his name. From the start, Robin carried an invisible burden: hereditary illness that made his health fragile. Decades later, doctors revealed the truth — cancer and intestinal complications that slowly stole his strength. Robin faced other challenges too — chronic pain, drastic weight loss, and relentless exhaustion. To cope, he relied on medications and treatments. What began as survival became a cycle: painkillers to endure, sedatives to sleep, and stimulants to keep performing. He didn’t do it for escape — he did it to keep living, to keep singing, to keep his promise to music and to fans. Food brought little comfort in his later years; his weakened body couldn’t fight back. Yet Robin still pushed himself onto stages, his fragile frame carrying a voice that remained achingly beautiful. Could he have been saved? Perhaps, with today’s science and knowledge, things might have been different. But in his time, no one fully understood the toll of genetic illness and relentless pressure. Robin trusted his doctors. He believed treatment would let him continue, if only a little longer. The sorrow deepened within the Gibb family. Barry, the eldest, bore the agony of watching Maurice and then Robin pass away, each loss tearing away a piece of the Bee Gees’ harmony. Robin’s life was a gift — a voice that was fragile yet haunting, carrying love, sorrow, and a rare humanity. But the world often took without seeing the cost. Behind the glittering disco lights stood a man quietly breaking — not from weakness, but from giving everything and asking for nothing. Robin Gibb was not only a star. He was a man of extraordinary talent with a body that betrayed him. He burned so brightly the world still feels his warmth. Yet his light faded far too soon. That is the part of the story we must remember — not only the legend, but the man who gave it all.”
