Jeff Lynne - So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad) - Music Video

It's not quite "Over and Out" just yet for Jeff Lynne as he has one final tour left in him and hopefully some more music to come. Lynne, the maestro behind Electric Light Orchestra, took a nostalgic trip down memory lane with his cover of the Everly Brothers classic "So Sad." This track, featured on his 2012 solo album "Long Wave," is a tender rendition that pays homage to the harmonious heartache of the original. Lynne's version wraps the sorrowful lyrics in his signature lush production, creating a bittersweet soundscape that resonates with the longing of the past. Lynne's cover also showcases his exceptional voice, and his unique additions (the "naughty bits" as he likes to call them) add to the production in my view.

In 1960, The Everly Brothers released the song as a single and on the album "It's Everly Time." The song was a top 10 hit in multiple countries, and spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 7. Lynne's rendition offers a fresh take while maintaining the emotional depth of the original. His version is a testament to the timeless nature of the song and showcases his ability to bring a new dimension to classic hits.

We used to have good times together
But now I feel them slip away
It makes me cry to see love die
So sad to watch good love go bad

Remember how you used to feel, dear?
You said nothing could change your mind
It breaks my heart to see us part
So sad to watch good love go bad

Is it any wonder that I feel so blue
When I know for certain that I'm losing you?

Remember how you used to feel, dear
You said nothing could change your mind
It breaks my heart to see us part
So sad to watch good love go bad

So sad to watch good love go bad
