"I just want to take these songs out and play them anywhere I can get them heard," Costello says in a separate conversation. "We would have loved to have come to Boston, but we couldn't work out the dates. But I'll be up there doing some of them on Saturday ([[Concert 1998-10-10 Boston|tomorrow]]) at the MixFest with (pianist) Steve Nieve. I'm very proud of the new songs I've written with Burt. If everything goes well, we'll do a full-blown tour next year and Boston will be at the top of the list." | "I just want to take these songs out and play them anywhere I can get them heard," Costello says in a separate conversation.

The origin of the Costello-Bacharach partnership goes back to the 1996 movie '' | The origin of the Costello-Bacharach partnership goes back to the 1996 movie ''Grace of My Heart''. Costello had written one song for the film about a Carole King-like songwriter when it was suggested he do another with Bacharach. They wrote "God Give Me Strength" (which closes ''Painted From Memory'') by phone and fax and ended up with a Grammy nomination for their efforts. | ||
"We had to do this song very fast for this picture," Bacharach says. "I didn't have time to be dubious about the idea of working with Elvis. His work from the punk era didn't appeal to me, but from his later work, things like what he did with the Brodsky String Quartet and the Jazz Passengers, I knew he was a gifted songman. I liked the way our song turned out and then when we actually got together in New York to record it, I found him very easy to work with, very open and giving. So I could imagine what we could do writing in the same room together." | "We had to do this song very fast for this picture," Bacharach says.
