What is this song about?

The song is about a man and a woman who break down and how important it is to be faithful in a relationship. It is not a typical love song, but rather a song about a breakup of a marriage where the loss of the relationship is "no sacrifice." A man and woman have problems in their relationship after being married when they had a daughter. After they go their separate ways, and the man raises his daughter alone.

Why have I chosen this song?

I have chosen this song of Elton John because is the favourite singer of my mother and Sacrifice is the song that she especially loves. It brings her many memories when she was young, because she broke down with a boy. One of her friends recommended her this song cause of it talks about a breaking off. My mum saw it to her other friends and all of them liked it. After that when they were together they heard and sang it.

What this song makes me feel?

This song makes me feel like I was my mother when I am with my friends and I imagine how was she with my age. It helps me to known and understand how my mother thought and behave when she was young.
