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

He should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. He is a genius who wrote and produced so many great songs for other artists. 💜🎵🎶

Jeff Lynne write beautiful melodies and lovely harmonies and great arrangements. He's not a genius. This should be considered status quo. People refuse to learn about music these days. There is a common misconceptions that understanding music will damage your style.

[@kjh789az]

In case this Everly Bros. cover and Jeff's massive back catalogue usn't enough to signal his unique talent, just remember he's the guy Paul McCartney gets in to produce The Beatles final track, Now and Then and several other late Beatles numbers. Love his sound! Thanks for sharing.

[@brittscott4673]

It would be great if Rick Beato could interview Jeff. Jeff is multi-talented writer,singer, player of several instruments,music producer etc.

[@brittscott4673]

Jeff and ELO really elevated pop/rock music just like Elton John both of their many great songs have an inspired sophistication to them that made them really elite among the other musical artists of their time.

[@funforkidsforever]

I can't even begin to try and explain just how much pleasure Jeff Lynne has given me with his beautiful music ever since I first heard Livin' Thing, the first record I ever bought. He is the most under-rated musician of all time, but us Jeff Lynne and ELO fans appreciate his genius and that's all that matters.

[@Roland1965fromBavaria]

This magical and wonderful music accompanied me throughout life until today. I believe Jeff is a really great person too - he has definitely George Harrison, Tom, Roy and Bob their best time of life bestowed. I never saw their faces so happy like in time with `The Traveling Wilburys `- he is beyond great.

[@Macrobish]

A favourite Everly Bros song of mine and a great job by Jeff

[@Patsik]

I started playing guitar in 1978 at age 13. My friends thought this was dull, cheesy music. I knew better. It's great to see musicians like Jeff love the same music like I did when I was a kid. He should know.

[@70sladyalways25]

I just got tickets to see him on tour in 2024. So sad to see so many artists I grew up with getting older.

[@andgate2000]

McCartney and Harrison said Jeff is the GOAT all round musician. If the Beatles say it ...

[@btsr2553]

Jeff was allowed to learn from them. Jeff picked up musically where the Beatles left off and added his own personal touch. Jeff is a genius.

[@garyspence8383]

Hahaha.......one of the funniest jokes I've ever heard 😂

[@SuperBingo96]

@@garyspence8383 Lynne wrote most of Travelling Wilbury's, Harrison and Tom Petty's stuff in 80s. It's not hard to realise that when you listen to the albums. Do some research idiot. And yes, the remaining Beatles said that - GOAT all round musician. Now wash your mouth out boy. LOL

Many thanks for this very nice upload. Also for the video. At 1:46, memories of my home town come flooding back. The "Olympiahalle München", the Olympic Hall in Munich, oh how wonderful that time was. I will never forget my unexpected run-in with Jeff. It was in Arabellapark in Munich. The Musicland Studios were in the basement of the Arabellapark Hotel. It was one of the first very warm spring days in May 1981. I was twelve years old and had just come back from the dentist. There was an ice cream parlour in Arabellapark. I ordered my ice cream and got it. I didn't realise that someone was standing behind me. I turned to leave, as boys do at that age without thinking or looking closely, and bumped into someone. My ice-cream scoops fell to the floor. All I had left was the ice cream cone in my hand. I looked up and there it was. The unmistakable glasses of Jeff Lynne. I will never forget. I was so stunned I couldn't get a single word out. He patted me on my head and said something I didn't quite understand, but it was something like wait. Then Jeff ordered the same ice cream again and gave it to me. I was so taken aback that I stuttered out a German "Danke" and after a few more seconds followed it up with a "Thank you". He smiled and nodded. It wasn't until two years later, when I held the album Time in my hands and looked at the photos at the inner sleeve of the cover, that I realised what had really happened. Jeff, I still owe you two balls of ice cream.

[@paulineoneill9554]

I listen to this song almost every day by the Everly Brothers,one of my favorite songs ever.Didnt think anyone else could sing it like them,after hearing Jeff, I've changed my mind.That was absolutely beautiful, I was on the brink of tears as usual.That man is an incredible genius, love it ❤️❤️❤️
