Apologies in Songs

As Elton said, Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word. Research found that ‘the more verbose the language’, the more sincere the apology seems, so tonight, it's great apologies in song

As Elton said, Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word. Recent research found that ‘the more verbose the language’, the more sincere the apology seems. Cher wanted to Turn Back Time, and Chicago had to admit it was Hard to Say I’m Sorry. So tonight on Get It On, we would love to hear the best apologies in song.
