On That Note: All Apologies

[cyclones500]

Welcome back to “On That Note,” CF’s weekly excursion into music listening & discussion, co-hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

For this segment, as thread title suggests, our focus is songs with title/lyrics involving forms of "apology," along with closely associated key words: sorry, regret and remorse.

Also accepted: Songs involving a storyline that fits the apology theme (even if lyrics/title don’t include the core words).

• In case you missed it: Last week’s OTN: Hold On

I'll get us going with a song title (parenthetical) & lyrics in the "subcategory."


"So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)" - R.E.M.

"I'm sorry that I made you cry."

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

 

[MeanDean]

"Apologize to her"

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Don't know
Just what I said wrong but, girl, I apologize
Don't go
Here's where you belong, so wipe the tears from your eyes

 

[cyclones500]

“We’re so sorry, uncle Albert.”

It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely

3 weeks in a row

And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself

 

[MeanDean]

One of the truly great 'unknown' pop/rock songs of the 60's. This was a number 1 song in their native Australia for two weeks in November 1966.

[CycloneRulzzz]

Your friends are sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Sorry, girl, but you missed out
Well, tough, luck that boy's mine now

 

[MeanDean]

The original from the McCoys (of Hang on Sloopy fame)
Then the UK hit version from the Merseys
Then the Bowie version from PinUps

You say sorry just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts (ghosts, ghosts)
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes (hey!)
You say sorry just for show (hey!)
