I was madly in love with my husband but did not love me.I sang this song in my heart once....he died 2 years ago and I still ask:What I go to do to make you love me?RIP David K.You were loved more than you ever knew.I have our son.
It's heartbreaking to see someone's heart being broken like this forever. Although I could never fully moveon, may you be able to do so gradually with time.
It’s hard to fall in love with someone that your love is pure . His reason is that his step kids are more valuable than you. I’m with him every day but he doesn’t see me so what can I do but go even though it hurts..
I have just one memory of my father. I’m in a car, his car. I don’t remember his face, but the only thing I remember is hearing “it’s sad so sad so sad”. And for 10 years I tried to remember that moment and today I googled these lyrics. The moment the song started it all came flashing back. I never got to know you ,I was still very young but RIP dad 💔.
Ouch. As a Dad myself with a 10 year old, i couldn't imagine her having to have such a memory especially as she is "daddy's gal" as my wife keeps telling me. I try and give her such a wide choice of music from all eras whilst we are in the car together, i guess to try and pass on my ridiculously large taste.
One of the hardest things we have to ever face in life is to love and not be loved in return. Eventually we come to the realization that we can't make someone love us no matter how much we love them. Love is given through free will and is not always returned. Also no matter how much we tell ourselves that truly loving someone means you love them even when they don't care for you the same way its still hurts.
Today on July 29 2016 my dad felt this way when him and my mom got into a argument and she left for work,. Him on the other hand he broke down and all he would do is listen to this song.
Bernadette OHanlon just move on life,time rushes by. Why waist it on someone who does not care for or love you? Everything can change in a New York minute!!!
Probably the saddest song ever ! Powerful words ! Beware of people who never say they are sorry 😐 these are people filled with greed and ego ! They are too proud to admit they are wrong ! These are not my people ! Thanks be to God 🙏
Another very sad and yet beautiful Love song is 'By the time I get to Phoenix' sung by Isaac Hayes. The intro is a bit long but it unfolds the song, worth listening to at least once in your lifetime.
That chord progression that carries the words "when lightning strikes me" In the last stanza of the song gets me every time. That is one of the saddest and most gut-wrenching chord progressions I've ever heard. Elton John's pure genius shines through in this entire song.
This song is without a single doubt the saddest love song ever composed and written. I bawled when I first heard this back when I was in my mid-20's and I'm now 60 years old. It still brings tears every time I hear it.
Elton John always takes me back to my youth, the 70's were a great time in my life even though my parents divorced I always had music to fall back on ! So many great singer songwriters back then .... I really miss those days !
definitely one of my favorite songs, it's so romantic and at the same time so real. Pride is what makes relationships not stay strong and healthy with deep roots. Say sorry if it can be very hard, but when you really love and the person next to you is worth it. We should swallow our pride.
Such sweet sorrow. Elton John's life was a triumph. but he survived so many trials and tribulations to get there - and you can hear it in so many of his bitter-sweet songs.
Life isn't easy guys, sometimes it feels like there's a Godzilla round every corner waiting to crush you...but you can survive it and move on...good luck, you seem like good people, just don't let anything beat you and you're golden!x
How’s everything going these days for y’all? It’s 2023 and this is the first time listening to this song. I love my life and thought this song sounded good. :)
Time only time my friend. Even then time won't cure you. You will heal although, but at least the time you had will not be erased. Sorry is sorry Word . I trust you had a good time while she was alive. Carry on P.S. there will be more. Let life live an therefore Live life my friend.
When John wrote love songs, they were often very sincere and heart-felt, testament to the man and his talent, but let's not forget Bernie's ability to write just the right lyric to inspire EJ. One of the best writing teams to ever come down the pike, and we are so much blessed for having him. Not sad, not sad at all. Mucho kudos brother.
I heard this on a classic 70's oldie station and it took my breath away. Such a wonderful song. Elton John 's a great song writer and singer. This is for sure one of his classic hits.
My favorite Elton John song. Ironically it is one of the only songs that Elton actually wrote a majority of the lyrics. Even Bernie Taupin was impressed by Elton's melody and the lyrics that Elton had completed when he first heard it.
The mans a legend, and talented to say the least, but lucky to be alive with everything he’s put himself through. So glad he and David are happy for so long and are still together
It is very touching. I can not hear without crying. This song is one of my favorite songs in the world. How can a person feel after losing? Only painful emptiness.
Thank you so much for this video of this song ,so incredibly beautiful. It's been to me like a ' time machine ', since it brought me back to the time I was only 20 years old and was madly in love with this girl that sent me many love letters every week . Sheseemed to love me deeply. Because of job reasons, I moved far away from her , planning to come back and marry her a year and a half later. It all ended when she got tired of wating ( one year ). It was very painful for me this situation, So sad ,very sad. Those days I discovered this beautiful song and heard it maybe a hundred times. So, without realizing, I became the ' protagonist ' of this Elton John's music master piece.
Escuchar a Elton John evoca aquellos maravillosos años 70s., y mí feliz adolescencia. Hermosos recuerdos dé aquellos tiempos qué no volverán. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽...
+Michele Conley Hmmm.. no.. But in that case there might be something wrong with the relationship to begin with which you feel strongly, but suppress! Until you become bitter...
That's what my very close friend did, and then I heard this on the radio. It matched the situation so that's why I'm here, the one with lyrics and the original one. I just need a plan, a good quality recorder, and time. Ah ha! A ringtone! I'm a genius!
💝 Although I've always listened and enjoyed Sir Elton back in the days, after seeing RocketMan the movie, I'm even more impressed and appreciate all that Sir Elton & Bernie have accomplished😘
Listening to those beautiful deep bass notes after you've looked into someone's eyes and seen the pain in them, and the feeling of that person swallows all your attention long after you've said goodbye
@@haochu7185 oh dear one❤🙏 I am fine beloved for I am a child of the Divine Creator of All that Is, Yahweh is my comforter, my healer, my Father...and Christ is my Redeemed, I am always alright.❤🙏❤🙏❤ thank you darling. 🙏❤👍
Last night I watched the movie Elton John, many EJ songs were showcased, many I don't know, several were my favourites, one song that impressed me most was "Sorry seems to be the hardest word", so sad, so beautiful. Several yrs ago I watched the movie about Freddy Mercury, also many beautiful songs. This morning, I listen to SSTBTHW again and I wonder would these artists be that creative had they not been gay? What a lost for the world without them!
Me too.. Since I was a little girl. At almost 50, it still makes me bust out crying.. lol This song really makes people think of their worst fear..Things falling apart, painful loss and things getting more and more absurd.. 🤤😦😓
To love someone to the point that you don't want to go on without them and they simply go connect to someone else is the most baffling thing in the world to me.
I've had a falling out with someone who means more to me than they'll ever know and no matter how matter how many times I apologise it won't make it go away...
What do I gotta do to make you love me , what I gotta make you do to make you care ❤? This song always reminds me of how its always too late when it should have never been.
[Verse 1] What have I got to do to make you love me? What have I got to do to make you care? What do I do when lightning strikes me? And to wake to find that you're not there [Verse 2] What do I do to make you want me? What have I got to do to be heard? What do I say when it's all over? And sorry seems to be the hardest word [Chorus] It's sad, so sad It's a sad, sad situation And it's getting more and more absurd It's sad, so sad Why can't we talk it over? Oh, it seems to me That sorry seems to be the hardest word [Chorus] Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word What do I do to make you love me? What have I got to do to be heard? What do I do when lightning strikes me? What have I got to do? What have I got to do? When sorry seems to be the hardest word
This is such a beautiful song and sung so perfectly by Elton John! It's kind of hard to listen to though because it brings me back to my youth when I hurt someone very badly and was too young and stupid to see it. Sadly, he passed away before I had the chance to say how sorry I am and will have to carry that guilt for the rest of my life.
This one for my dad. You’re gone since 2000 and i’m still standing at night listening to this song remembering the time we had spend together. Not even me had the power to hold you back at home. Love you forever.
My father gives me The very best of EJ album when I was ten years old in 90', and I tried to learn English with those songs. My father is gone early, and actually we never really had time to talk, but I'm sure he's still talking to me with those songs. I love you Dad, I'm sure you'll be proud of me.
Most comment on boy/girl love. I always felt this was between elton & his dad. Ur dad might have been trying to tell u what he couldnt say. Its better than nothing, like eltons dad gave. X hope u find healing
@@scidamenge Thank you for your warm comment, i just read it! And yep, after my father passed away in 2003, I talk to him even more and we have actually great soul connection. Last 20 years I travel the world and I think he's seeing it also with my eyes. He left me a heritage that can support some of my trips. He lived in soviet union and never had occasion to travel around the word. Now he can - always in my heart.
I used to just hear this song because of not knowing its lyrics but now I'm really happy and pleased because of knowing how beautiful and wonderful they are!
I love elton...but I’ve actually never heard this song...I discovered it after breaking up with my first love, i was crying and i heart the first lines of the lyrics and i totally ascend through the amount of pain he caused me. Elton is a saver !
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. Legend song ever!!! I'm here because this song was sung by Putri Ariani in America Got Talented and she got the golden buzzer from Simon Cowell, thank you very much Simon, thank you very much AGT and all, and thank you very much Putri Ariani for making Indonesia proud and proud. keep working and be successful Putri Ariani ❤😘 🇮🇩
Unbelievable! It could have been written for me! When I say something, people doesn't listen. But 2 minutes after, there is allways someone to say the same thing, even in my own family. Thanks a lot having put the lyrics on the screen,Lolita! 😊
I found out the hard way that you can't make someone love you. You can have a moment and an experience of a lifetime when you lay eyes on that one person, but when it's not reciprocated or is only partially reciprocated or just every once in a while it's absolutely devastating. The song just begins to touch on the enormous amount of pain that is associated with us. Two things changes us permanently. One is love and the other one is grief. The devastation is even that much greater when the grief is caused by loving someone too much.
Everyone talking about their ex’s, meanwhile, this makes me think of my sister. It just feels like we’re always on the complete polar opposite side for everything, always specifically setting each other off, I just love her so much, I wish we could truly be best friends someday.
Love this song, if more people discussed what they are stressing or worried about, there wouldn't be many people splitting up, express your feelings folks 👍
EJ's Top 10 for me is: (1) this song; (2) Bennie and the Jets; (3) Someone Saved My Life Tonight; (4) Daniel; (5) Saturday Night's All Right for Fighting; (6) Tiny Dancer; (7) Levon; (8) entire Yellow Brick Road LP; (9) Crocodile Rock; (10) The One. Also: I Feel Like a Bullet (in the Gun of Robert Ford), Island Girl
Maybe the most profound song ever. "What have I got to do to make you love me? What have I got to do to make you care? What do I do to make you want me? What have I got to do to be heard?" The four most important questions in my life that I can't get answered no matter how hard I try.
@@libipretty8105 Yes, she did. I wrote three emails over 15 months, each one more difficult to write than the last, but I stuck to it. I felt I had to have a voice, and stop just tolerating the cruelty I have been subjected to for the best part of 15 years, hoping she would one day see the efforts I have made to build something positive with her. After all that tme, I decided enough was enough, and so started to challenge her about what she has been doing. She did everything BUT take responsiblity. I asked her if we could have a better relationship, and if she would stop trying to air-brush me out of the family, while at the same time being cruel and unkind to me when there was contact. She wrote back, saying it was all in my head. This is typical for people who have BPD (as she has). I explained she had been doing these actions repeated over many years and that this was not made up. She moved from one country to the other, without even telling me, despite the fact that I had been in contact with her by letter, email and phone. It was all organised behind my back with my sister. She sank my portion of my father's estate into her new house, knowing this was illegal and that she should have asked for my permission to do so. Now, the only way I could receive what is due to me would be by suing my own mother and as her move was from Germany to the UK, the money comes under UK law, which means it is all hers and no portion of it is mine - clearly she did this deliberately. And that is just the legal issue. There are many other perspectives on this, which are disturbing and hurtful. It has been like standing facing wave after wave of it, for years. My final email was the most frank one, but I felt I had to write it. I told her as gently as I could that I was not going to tolerate these things moving into my retirement, and that I wished for a better relationship, and was prepared to invest in it. I asked her if she was. I knew what her response would be, but I am a Transformation Coach and felt I had to keep the door open for her, so I asked her if she would agree to make a new beginning, and start to show some kindness. I told her it is a yes/no decision, and asked what is it going to be? A yes or a no. I closed by saying that if I got a NO or a silence in response, I would walk away rather than continue to be a target. She did not respond, and so I have walked away. And funnily enough, the day I did that, I stopped having nightmares. Thinking about the song here, my task now is to forgive myself for not allowing myself the freedom to make this move sooner. I gave her so much time because I did not undrstand her mental condition and only got that in these last three or four years. if I had known more about it sooner, I would have done this sooner. But this forgiveness is easy for me now. I'm a different person than the one I was all those years ago, before my training as a coach and the life experence I have gained in the intervening years. These days I don't just know I am strong, I feel it, in my bones. I always achieve my goals. Thanks for your enquiry. It is not often someone has the observational power to ask. I salute you for it.
