    Black and white video of hope.

    This music video for Elton John's 1984 hit "Sad Songs(Say So Much)" is one that's in Black and White, as Elton does his thing of sing and dance and the background is that of the streets of the empty inner city as the young people are all around trying to find comfort and hope! Overall the song tries along with the video to be uplifting even though it does reference life and love as a struggle with listening to sad songs to get by while hoping for the best is yet to come.
