Song Sung Blue foi inspirada pelo segundo movimento da Sinfonia nº 7 de Ludwig van Beethoven e apresenta uma perspectiva simplista sobre a dor, sugerindo que cantar uma canção triste pode fazer alguém se sentir melhor. A música foi um grande sucesso e logo se tornou um dos maiores sucessos de Neil Diamond.
