It's Impossible

Product Information

The song’s meaning is deeply rooted in the emotions it evokes, striking a chord in the hearts of its listeners. The title was at first a mystery but after watching the film (equipped with a fantastic commentary by Linklater himself), I began to comprehend its meaning which is sort of saying, "you don't learn how to do something by reading books. The only true way to learn something as unique as filmmaking or plowing, one must put down the book and pick up a camera. The song beautifully captures the contradictions and complexities of human emotions, reflecting the deep longing many can relate to.

Its inclusion in various media platforms has ensured its enduring legacy and introduced the song to new generations of listeners. It does however erect a soothing and primitive aspect from its Super 8, home video cinematography and its focus on the smaller aspects of life (a wobbly 7up can that makes a "cool" sound). The key themes in the lyrics of “It’s Impossible” revolve around love, yearning, heartbreak, and the eternal struggle to forget a past love. C.", as he was nicknamed, sold millions of records for Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and pioneered a weekly musical variety television show, which set the standards for the genre and proved to be one of the most successful in television history.He provides us with not much backstory as to why the events are occurring, but dives into topics such as why he made this film in the first place and how he sympathizes with the youth of today who are trying to break free of typical life conventions. It’s Impossible” is a timeless classic song recorded by the legendary American singer Perry Como in 1970. Perry Como delivered a great performance, and Elvis matches him all the way with this effort - its not rock but I like it a lot.

After hearing the Spanish version, he felt a deep connection to the song and saw the potential to touch the hearts of English-speaking audiences. It’s Impossible” has been featured in numerous films, television shows, and advertisements over the years, further cementing its place in popular culture. Perry's later album "And I Love You So" is a much better album both in quality of songs, arrangements, and vocal interpretation.Richard Linklater presents an unconventional narrative, barely composed of dialogue and consisting in observing life and actions. Throughout the song, Como croons about the impossibility of forgetting a past love and moving on, despite the awareness of the futility in doing so. His powerful and emotionally charged rendition captivated viewers, further solidifying the song’s popularity. It has since become one of his signature songs, captivating audiences around the world with its heartfelt lyrics and melodious tune.

However, it's very strange and odd that it was chosen by the heads at RCA to be a track on the 1975 Elvis album "PURE GOLD". During a career spanning more than half a century he recorded exclusively for the RCA Victor label after signing with them in 1943. The song’s lyrics and melody have resonated with audiences for decades, and its timeless quality continues to transcend generations.

A nameless young character goes into travels to the country, meeting some acquaintances and strangers as well, having banal conversations, dedicating his existence into daily mundane activit. Como’s ability to convey the song’s depth and emotion likely stems from his own experiences with love and heartache. I mentioned in my review of his official directorial debut, Slacker that by defining the word itself as, "people who are ultimately being responsible to themselves and not wasting their time in a realm of activity that has nothing to do with who they are or what they might be ultimately striving for" he is giving adolescence a tremendous amount of reassurance and confidence in their minds. Because the film has little to no dialog (and when it does, it's usually unimportant rambling), I turned on Linklater's commentary middle of the way through and listening to him speak is a very reassuring touch to a film already so unique and baffling.
