Elton John - Sad Songs (Say So Much)
/ eltonjohn
Elton has so many amazing songs, but there’s something about this one that I can’t stop listening to it time after time.
Same here and it did n’t even make it in the top 20 of his best songs when it was on TV about a decade ago.
That is a travesty.
Yes, although this was early/mid 90's
Tell my anout it!
Tell my about it!
OMG I LOVE THIS COMMENT it’s something about this song I swear I don’t ever get tired of it
Can certainly appreciate this man’s deep and varied catalogue of music over 4 decades! 🎉Bravo Sir Elton John!
even more decades of songs since his first release "Your Song" in 1970
For a song about sad songs, this sure is a GLAD song!
One of Elton John's greatest hits of all time! The message was true back in the 1980's, and even more true now.

Sad songs are often the most beautiful ones.
Because they say so much
@@franlpk9587 Precisely!
Thomas; I will most certainly drink to that. Robert in California.

Agreed
who else loves his songs still?
Gisele Strauch yep!!! 👍🏾
All of us fam, love Elton
I do!
The man is a legend! Gifted talent
I have played this song 8 times in a row. We all still love his music, his performances.
I was walking through the grocery store the other day and this song came on. From 35 years ago, I still knew every word...
I hear it at work a lot
Love this tune. Every time I hear it I sing it all.
@@brianbumstead2682 v
The same happened to me exactly 💯
@@pazuzurising Nice.
Who is still jamming this beautiful song!!!?? Sad songs say so much!!! Love it 2024!!!
Always and forever
Taupin and Elton Lennon and McCartney but better. Bernie could write some serious lyrics but with Elton piano and voice pure perfection
me
God Bless Elton John..... Going strong for over 45 years ......

I lost my oldest daughter almost two years ago..all I do is listen to different sad songs until I ran into this song.for some reason I smiled when I heard it. The lyrics I can relate too ..Does this sound crazy??
I'm sorry😢
I HAVE A GOOD FRIEND WHO COULD DANCE TO THIS SONG UP UNTIL HE GOT STABBED 47 TIMES HE LOST HIS ABILITY TO SPEAK EAT WALK AND DANCE I SAVED HIS LIFE ON 13/7/89 I HAD BEEN OUT OF SCHOOL A LITTLE OVER A MONTH HE STILL TEXTS ME AND WE HAVE A TEXTING WAR HE WINS HE IS THE FASTEST TEXTER HE CAN TEXT WITH HIS THUMBS
peace
No Elton John has always touched my heart I lost my husband and I get it
❤❤❤❤❤ Smiling after tragedy isn't crazy, it's a gift. I know my late mother smiles with me
Nobody's music takes me back to the 70's like Elton John.
I absolutely love his music.
Don't forget ABBA
Saw his final concert in the states. Dodger Stadium was packed...He came out and performed non-stop for 3 hours...no opening act, no intermission...just BAM BAM BAM hit after hit after hit. There was still not enough time for all of his great music (Lion King, etc.) Fabulouso!!!!
I'm 32, and my mom used to play Elton John every Saturday & Sunday mornings before cleaning. It was a pleasant way to wake up.
Same here!
Same here!
Usually a mix of Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, Air Supply, The Bee Gee's etc! Every Saturday morning when it was time to clean the house!
I'm mid 40's .... so this was early 80's for me. We still had the huge heavy wooden console stereo's at first, where the top opened up to reveal a turn table, am/fm tuner and 8 track player. Then they finally bought a Sony rack system with dual tape decks and they went to TOWN dubbing mix tapes from their hundreds of albums!
People have so much in common and otherwise would never know it
This song is so underrated.
underrated? nooooo
...Deservedly !!!
Nikita is more !
Right!!!.
JollyBeGood underrated today
Happy Birthday Sir Elton John !!
Boa noite! Tudo bem? Elton John ! Não sei se você ler ....Se você soubesse o quanto sou seu fã...Me atenderia...Um dia quem sabe iremos nos ver....Mas, agradeço de coração...Você fez parte com suas canções da minha infância, juventude....Que ao ouvir...minhas lágrimas descem... Infelizmente,você parou de cantar...Mas, agradeço muito por tudo meu amigo e irmão... Gostaria muito de dar lhe um abraço... Deus te abençoe sempre...Onde quer que você esteja... Parabéns!!!
In a weird way this song always cheers me up! Is like the happy part of sadness!!
its heartfrlt
its heartfelt
Geiner Elizondo Sadness can be addictive 😉
Leopoldo Astudillo sure it is; I know dude!!!
Geiner Elizondo I agree with u there it is such a catchy song gets me motivated lol x
One of my favourite Elton songs.

Such a great song , the feel is so uplifting and explains exactly how I've felt when I was mending a broken heart. Love this song
Hi
2024 anyone?
I'm ❤🎵🎶🎵🎶🥰🇦🇷
Absolutely!!!
Me
Who cares stop asking stupid questions!
Ever since it was released
Elton John is BRILLIANT !
Sir Elton John
The Man, The Legend!!
The man
Really he is good
Elton John ii and will always be a Legend
I got one thing to say?? The legend!!!!!
Reg
Elton John e Phil Collins estão em outro nível, dois monstro da música internacional, simplesmente magnífico, dois gênios da música!!!
Agree!!!
Lindo demais. Amo
Total concordo
E verdade
Love the way he sings this song his vocals are so strong
It's quite ironic that It's called sad songs and yet it's not sad It's catchy and cheerful
Elton John is such a legend
He's maybe trying to be heart-lifting with the lyrics... just a thought...
Bernie had one vision of the song and Elton had his. I love how it’s conflicting. They definitely made a good team making all this good music
It's an upbeat cheerful song about the excellence of sad songs
I thought he's just making fun of sad songs?
He's often done that, putting serious or sad lyrics to upbeat music, e.g. 'I think I'm Going To Kill Myself' or 'And The House Fell Down'.
My Aunt Kathy adored Elton John. After her funeral back in November 2014 all of us cousins got together, got drunk, and blasted Elton. This is my favorite of his.
Good way to honor her life
esse eu curto 10,100,10000 vezes
Durn right
I would be honored if my family did that for me after I passed. I would definitely request “Funeral for a Friend” be blasted
Never get tired of Elton
Just lost a dear friend of 30 years a couple of days ago… so freaking sad this is the only song that fits how I feel… R.I.P. my love
❤❤Take care.❤
So sorry to hear that.
So sorry 😢
🙏🙏🙏
I saw him last week, and I'm sad it's over. He said up there in the microphone that in 50's, and 60's when he was growing up he thought that one day world will be a better place, but instead, it's now full of hatred, people killing each other etc. So he dedicated his next song "I Want Love" to all the victims of those horrible events in the last few years. And said that he still hopes because love is stronger than hate. What a man!
He still believe in love, but as an intelligent, gifted man, he realizes that the world turned very worse along those years.
" Only the dead, have seen the end of war." Hmm, don't like it, pool your $, do something about it.
There are many of us who feel exactly that way.
Mario Škof yes I agree. We need to spread love to all theses victims including police officers who have been killed due to faulty illegal immigration. Lord knows those families need much love and caring this time of year
@Big Bubba u are a fool and if i knew hu u were and ur address i wuld slap u back to the 60s
Here we all are in 2021 wanting to relive the past all over again, this classic from 84, still knocks me off my feet.
Me too brother
Never gets old ,
Indubitably
Yes
@@mikeyates7931 nmmmmkmm
Still a beautiful song in 2022. Pure talent!!😊
One of my top 3 all time favorite songs
Sim conserteza ,tenho 37 anos mas só me identifico com esse tipo de músicas do passado
Ti ringrazio di cuore caro Elton John er aver condiviso questa bella canzone che hai interpretato piuttosto molto bene 🙏🎶✨💖🎻👍 Eccellente video 👌 Complimenti ed Applausi 👏👏 Buon mezzogiorno 🌞☕ A domani 🇮🇹✔️💙
He's absolutely right. sad songs say a hell of a lot
+M wallace They Do!
2020 June, it's the best choice I've made during this pandemic, and still one of the greatest artist ever born.
👍
@@Samcote-lm9bf I agree 100%
I agree 1000 percent
Yes.. i think the pandemy its too short like some tv show want to believe us
Elton John is loved by all. All artists. From metal to rap to punk. We all love Sir Elton John.
Elton is one of the greatest in the world and his voice makes me smile love it
The tone of that piano and his voice together are just timeless!! ❤
Esse cara na minha opinião é um dos maiores artistas cantores de todos os tempos...pena que não há uma renovação a altura desses gênios.
Concordo
Com certeza
well, like Kontra K said, sad chapter not ende von book.
Элтона невозможно превзойти
No hay ni va a ver quién iguale a estos genios de la musica son únicos inigualables
This man can put anything into a song and make it a classic. LONG LIVE ELTON JOHN. What an amazing talent. Master of Sad songs and Ballads.
Jack Daniels-Son Okay
Yes..LONG LIVE ELton, I am sick of talent dying off!
"This man can put anything into a song and make it a classic. "
A Master musician
i return to this era....why...the music was great!!
This song is a masterpiece. Elton is king
One of the best Elton John songs I've ever listened to
What I love about this video is that what little movement Elton does is done so crisply with a lot of energy and passion that comes through in the song very well. He was 38 years old when he did this video and he stood out like a bright light among all those 20-something professional dancers without needing his 70s huge glasses and sequin suits.
Awesome trivia. Always loved his get ups in this video
He looks 100
@@shockinghobby2861 yeah maybe he does now, but ya know, a lifetime of fame eventually catches up to a person, and everyone ages differently.
@@paul16451 I meant he looks 100 in the vid. Glad our generation is aging better, for whatever reasons.
He admitted that he is not a good dancer and the people choreographing his videos had to work to get him to try and not look so awkward lol
Billy Joel had the same issue when he was filming his videos.
Elton John could sing the phone book and make it a classic :)
What's a phone book?
Bruce D. Campbell the directorial
Absolutely. Look what Elton came up with when handed the oven manual. "GENIUS".
yesssss
@@bruced.campbell4498 duh
Ok guys, i'm 16 years old
I've never showed interested in "old" music
Then I saw Rocketman, and his story really touched me. His style, his voice, his behavior, his songs are so delightful to hear and see. I hope nobody'll forget him in the future :)
My teenage years of the 80s decade were great with songs of Elton John. MTV, at the time, showed his music videos a lot.
It was awesome growing upw elton music.him and my mom are only a ur apart and she was only 19 when he came to make music. I was only 3 at the time. She know him as Reggie. Ten yes later at 13 I know him as Elton John.
👍👍👍🤝 ❤ 😊
I would also recommend Billy Joel I like both of them and do plan on seeing them in concert
Dude don't say forget the legend Elton John your dumb for saying that never forget the legend
My neighbors like this song, whether they want to or not.
😂😂
I'm adore Elton's 1980-1985 period.All those albums awesome.Turn em on!
You forgot the best double album ever made. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. BEST ALBUM EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@John Cordisco: What do you mean "forgot"? That album is from 1973. His adoration for the 1980-1985 albums doesn't exclude liking the 70s albums.
all his albums were great.
GRAMMAR PLEASE :-)
Turn on those sad songs?
The absolute master of the pop song.
well said ....well said

His voice is like thunder, so booming and powerful.

Elton John music is beautiful !

Hey. I still need that AED. It'd be at least another 20 years before I considering a pace maker installed.
Me too
It works for me everytime!
Yes there are times when we all need to share a little pain
The Beatles and Sir Elton, Their Are NONE Better In MY Eyes !
Just love Elton John. He has entertained us for decades. A master and his music.
We should always keep in mind what a strong force in music Elton John is..........
Dudes MASSIVE. He has talent the rest don't have. He has melodies the rest don't have. He holds his own. Not taking anything away from the rest, they all have theirs too.. Everyone has their place among musics greats.
Bernie Taupin is his lyricist and writing partner since Way Before...lol...neglect him not.
Fred B. Great MUSIC
Good Morning
Fred B. Oieia😷🤕😭😲🤑👻💩😈👿
2019 the Year of Elton John! 😎🎹
Maravilhoso!
listen the song elton ''it aint gonna.be easy'' wonderfull interprétation
I'd be honored if some Elton John fans from the new generation would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LEVON and ROCKET MAN on my YT channel in tribute to the masters of 20th century composition and lyrics (Elton and Bernie Taupin). Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Yes please!
When music was music.
Para mim Elton John é o maior cantor da música pop internacional
I miss the 80's
I miss 1980-1987.
One my favorite Elton songs..........
"Sad Songs (Say So Much)"
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
`Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say so much

I've played this 5 times in the last few days. Happiest sad song ever!

Olá!
Damnnn.Here is Brasil

This man touches my hear every time.
February 2021....Elton John's soothing music eases the pain we have during this horrible time of pandemic.....
That is correct.
Yeah
What Pandemic? wake tf up!
reguardless.this mans music is timeless.talent of the ages Elton!
And the way he distorts his voice. In the chorus SAD. Awesome
Still love listening to Elton John's music 🎶❤️ Even got the movie of his life 😢 but he turned his life around and became a legend ❤️🎶👍
Frrrr
This song is a gem 💎
Elton John's songs ROCK!
does anybody know when this song came out what year?
I'm 65 and still loving this song
elton john is awesome singer
Nobody will ever realize how true and great this song is until you're also hurting as bad...
It’s true. This song is a very soothing balm when feeling a certain amount of blue.
Yes it is...
That's the incredible power and beauty of music and lyrics like these.
I am right now
TRUE STORY DEFINITELY,I first heard this when I was in the middle of my divorce, 89, and the words just hit the mark like no other !
Now this song says so much about life.....
his songs live on forever, I'm 82 and listen to his music Daily!
For mine the pinnacle of a brilliant career from a magical performer
Don’t know about anyone else. But when I hear an EJ song. I say. This is my fave. Then I see the next. Say the same. Just too many heartfelt songs by this Genious.
Yep this one started with Philadelphia Freedom
Yeah , and it's the same with Freddie Mercury songs ! ! !
Classic Elton John. He knows how to turn a sad song into a daily anthem
I LOVE IT
I LOVE HIS SONGS.....HE'S THE BEST❤❤❤
Oh man, the harmony and backing vocals.....marvellous.
How many are we watching this beautiful song during this trying moment time of MARCH 2020??
I am Carol!
Yeah but sad songs they say so much

This Man is Brilliant!!!
1983-1985 was Elton's novelty period but most successful part of his career.
Rocket man was in the earth 70 s
This song always puts a smile on my face when I hear it.
It shouldn’t; it’s a not a happy song
He was vocally at his peak from the late 70's thru the mid 80's.
Not necessarily....go back and listen to his really early stuff.....but the fact is that he has ALWAYS had a great voice
Lightner i agree, but his peak of peaks was '79 through '82... I'd be honored if some classic Elton John fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LEVON and ROCKET MAN on my YT channel in tribute to the masters of 20th century composition and lyrics (Elton and Bernie Taupin). Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Top singer 👌🏻 His music will never die!
I never felt so great being sad while listening to this song.
I love his voice and his eyes!
His eyes are gorgeous!!!!
For a sad song this sounds more like a happy song :)
True...it gives two messages but still...its a good song tho :)
The contrast is the best part!
Yes...agreed :)
A happy song about sad songs.
As the man says 'when it feels so good to hurt so bad' For me that's the line with the real kick inside. :-)
Great memories
Go Elton!
Got an Elton John ad on an Elton John video.
Balanced, as all things should be.
Me!
That's good. Yesterday UA-cam served me an ad for the exact same brand and type of coffee I was drinking a cup of at the time.
The message of this song resonates so much. I love how to the point it is about a real phenomenon.
Still love this song 2023❤
Sir Elton your one of the best.
Elton John has always been a champion of supporting and setting up new singers and bands. Can't honestly say I like any of them but I still admire his passion and support! As for Elton John's music, well it's the best pop music ever. I prefer his 70s albums but Lord, his 80s singles were all darn catchy and Sad Songs is one of his finest!
The LEGEND!
Simplesmente Elton John. Lenda viva . O melhor de todos os tempos. Sensacional 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Adoro músicas dele, mas, vamos ser sinceros. Ele não é o melhor de todos tempos. Mandando energias positivas de Moçambique
Elton John é o cara!
Music genius and he made some of the most memorable songs of my childhood in the 80's and still they are etched in my heart and memory.
