Elton John | Sad Songs Say So Much (1983)

"Sad Songs (Say So Much)" is the closing track on English musician Elton John's eighteenth studio album Breaking Hearts, written by John and Bernie Taupin, released in 1984 as the lead single of the album.

It reached No. 7 on the UK chart and No. 5 on the U.S. chart. The song reached the Top 10 of many countries except in Germany and Italy where it reached the Top 20.


The single version of this song appeared on the 1990 box set To Be Continued... and various versions of the 2007 compilation Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits.


The lyrics describe how it sometimes helps for someone who is feeling sad, or who has lost a partner, to listen to old radio blues classics.
