这首歌是 Julie Zhang 继 Hero 之后推荐的第二首单曲,也是 Elton John于1976年创作的经典伤心情歌。2002年,Blue乐队与Elton John合作翻唱,完全的Elton曲式,又配以Blue的和声与节奏,Elton John本人甘当绿叶,亲自担任部分和声以及钢琴演奏,这也算是老牌巨星对新人组合的提携之作。该曲一推出便横扫英伦,成为Blue的第三支英国冠军单曲。
Blue乐队成立于2001年,Blue这个名字的由来是因为他们每个人都拥有一副唱蓝调的好嗓音。他们独特的带有街头味道又不乏流行感觉的曲风使他们取得了骄人的成绩。

Lyrics
What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you’re not there?
What I got to go to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it’s all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word.
It’s sad, so sad
It’s a sad, sad situation.
And it’s getting more and more absurd.
It’s sad, so sad
Why can’t we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word.
What do I do to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it’s all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word.
It’s sad, so sad
It’s a sad, sad situation.
And it’s getting more and more absurd.
It’s sad, so sad
Why can’t we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word.
What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
When sorry seems to be the hardest word.

The vidio is wonderful.
This reproduced version sounds no longer so sad. But then, we just need fair-sounding music in spite that it’s sad or happy.

Glad that you like my pick of the video clip, Julie^_^

At the very beginning of the video, there appears “Blue feat. Elton John”. I searched on baidu.com, there are some explanation for the word “feat”. Who knows its exact meaning.

Hmm… you got me, Julie, I will get back to this when I have the answer.

Julie, I have asked a few native speakers and they don’t quite understand what does “Blue feat” mean either. An educated guess would be, since this song is one of Elton’s classics, the fact that Blue re-mix it is a remarkable achievement, which means a “feat”.

我从Baidu及Google搜到的只言片语如下:
feat是featuring的缩写,两个艺人或者不同组合之间合作:A feat B。一般是前者出专辑,后者合唱但不是主唱,或者后者在歌曲里面表演特别个人技能。
先把这个解释放在这吧,等有确凿的解释后,敬请删之。

Thanks a million, Julie, that makes good sense to me.
