What it is
"Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" is a mournful ballad from Elton John's 1976 album Blue Moves, released as a single that year. Elton John wrote the music and Bernie Taupin is the credited lyricist; unusually for the pair, the melody came first. The song is about a romantic relationship falling apart, which Taupin described as trying to save something that is already dead deep down.
