Are you feeling blue? I have a sadness pill for you. Listen to Ray Charles' rendition of "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word". The lyric and song were originally created by Elton John in the 70s and had become one his hallmarks. But Charles' version is somewhat different, I guess it just sounds deeper and sad-errr. When he sang it, you know that he really meant it and knew exactly how you felt deep inside the soul because he (sounded like he) had been there, the same emotional valley that you are in now. Listening and experiencing the song and music let you swim in the romantic bleakness instead of drowning in it. That's the magic of Ray Charles, no wonder he is called the father of soul music.

Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word
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 I wake to find that you're not there
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
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
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
