Dr. Frank's What's-it

A Bearded Belgian Troubadour

A person or persons unknown (but apparently from Belgium) have been arriving at this site trying to find information about the song "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word."

He, or they, weren't too clear on the title at first. "Sorry since to be the heart is world" was tried. So was "sorry seems to be the heart as well," along with several other variations.

My heart swelled with pride when I noticed he finally got it right. Or they - can it really be one guy? Wouldn't he have realized he wasn't going to find much or any actual information on this site by now? But is it conceivable, on the other hand, that scores of Belgians have independently of each other decided to research this song all of a sudden? Maybe it's just some google-ishness I don't understand. Regardless, I prefer to imagine it's a single, determined Belgian with little or no Elton John experience attempting to win back an estranged lover through the power of a touching pop ballad. I'm weird that way. "Oh, Hercule," he imagines her saying. Or maybe his name is Maarten. Her name is Julie, I think, for reasons I'll get to in a moment. "Maybe," says Julie, "we could give it another try..."

Anyhow, and adding credence to my theory, now he is searching for "sorry seems to be the hardest word guitar tabs." Or they are. However you slice it, there's going to be a hell of a French- or Flemish-accented performance at the end of this tunnel. At least I hope so.

I'm sure I'm way off here, but it fleshes out the story to imagine that these recent searches came from that guy as well:

what does the name julie mean

night coughing and choking with massive amounts of phlegm

keeping a guitar string from losing its tune

do girls like beards
