This song means so much to me. After I came out and told my parents I was gay, this song really described the way I felt & helped me to deal with everything that was going on in my life at the time. Plumb and her music are so amazing, words can do no justice.
I know it has been 7 years, and you probably won't see my comment, but it was so nice to read yours. Welcome to the family. :) Plumb has always spoken to me as well.
I used to listen to this song late in the night and just stare into my window. Absorbing the stillness of the night while drinkin my coffee and a cigarette on one hand. I loved my solitude. Those were priceless moments.
I hope your parents are supportive or willing to understand. Let them ask any question & don't dismiss them, even if you are uncomfortable or annoyed. My mother's questions & my respectful response helped her a lot, she was an incredible support. She asked me what I was thinking when I said I liked a country music love song. I asked her what she meant, she said its about a man & a woman,my reply was it was about love. She nodded, smiled and thanked me. I loved her so much and miss her.
Wow! I am in tears, the lyrics are really hitting home for me now. The part of the song about we used to hold hands so tight with no question and now you're so near and I have never felt so alone.
it means so deep, my mom wants me to listen this after my dad passed away. i thought she was joking cos' its not the type of song that im into, the truth is that she saw me crying for the first time and after that i smile but i never cry again hehehe i miss my dad...
Love you Plumb! I heard this album for the first time back in 2008/2009 or something when I was still a teenager. I still hear your beautiful voice today. Greetings from Portugal
I see many people sayin they don't understand the video. To me it looks like the man is struggling to deal with a wealth of issues. He doesn't know how to express what he is feeling so he has chosen to withdraw from his wife and his kid and hide in the numbness of a drunken stupor. He is using alcohol to cope with life. His wife is trying to get his attention in the flashes of him and her cuddling. Those are flashbacks to a time when their love was strong before he turned to booze for answers. The boy is their son and really needs his Dad because he is becoming a man and has nobody to give him a solid example of the kind of man he should be. He is also being neglected by his Mother because she is so distracted by her need to fix Dad's issue. I hope this helps. Just a side note: The son went to a Christian concert and there is a suggestion that he is searching for the missing piece to his life there also.
Brian Woodson Maybe your "dead on." Some people don't want to leave, don't want to stay - just "stuck." "Say something, write a letter, try to convey something so everything isn't lost..."
yo how did you understand and know this stuffs?.. an unexperienced man cant explain things like this!.. seems like youve been through some such things t0o.. exactly you just explained myself..
@@ekielrjayme3347 You don't have to go through those problems to understand it. It's called psychology my friend I have a natural gift for psychology myself.
The husband/wife segment to me is powerful and pretty clear. But I was also a little confused about the teenager segment initially, but the more I thought about it I believe it is about a young person who is also struggling with something and his parents are not acknowledging his pain.
good song indeed.. i was first introduced to Plumb through their self-titled album.. Christian music.. the whole album is a solid play through. except for the bonus track.. not my musical taste.. they followed up with Candy Coated Water Drops.. saw them live and they played one of my favorite jams by them, Crazy ,, she even came through the audience,, i'm not claiming i was her target.. but yeah if i were so bold to accept the microphone during the song.. i could solidly say i got some guest vocals on that track.. found out there was a autograph spot after the show at my favorite music store.. showed up, bought the album,, got it signed,, i went through the musicians at time lucky to get all their signatures.. they couldn't even afford the time.. i wanted to say thanks for provided good enough music to support Tiffany Arbuckle.. thee lead singer of Plumb.. got to her.. hey hey.. yeah thats my name, thats how you spell it.. she was quite welcoming and open.. i forgot what she asked me.. i was just like,, ummm idk.. she signed thanks Jared,, "blessings and hope.." with a smiley face.. i was like gee thanks,, in my head.. i hate my life and myself.. laters.. anyways,, oddly enough their song,, Willow Tree,, was an accurate detailed driving directions to where i lived one time before i was aware of music that supported what i tried to believe.. the name of the street i lived on was Plumb.. i mean in all reality you would end up a house or two off.. okay.. after their first two albums.. they released greatest hits album,, just from the first two albums.. like okay,, what happened to Plumb..?? does this mean their carrier is over.. all i heard from them in the future was this song,, Boys Don't Cry .. i'm so sorry i couldn't afford the time after that until now to make any proper respect for her music.. anyways.. glad i got my name in history at least between me and her,, before i claimed lost of interest in everything.. like she might remember,, that could be cool.. anyways,, don't want to say how old i was,, but yeah when i first saw her for the autograph,, i was like,, hum.. how should i make my first failed proposal for someone to be my wife.. haha!! the effect i have on anyone,, better left unanswered and unasked.. anyways.. ready to fully expose myself for what i believe,, under my names given and chosen,, Jared Batman Lucifer.. an advocate of Jesus Christ.. with no respect for God the father.. with approval of the Holy Spirit/Ghost.. respecter of all worthy Women.. count your blessings,, if any,, with the men.. being represented by myself,, as the embodiment of the Lord.. that Jesus maybe was describing himself as a savior of all who accept,, in his form of Vengeance.. that's me.. so i was like better not talk to her.. anyways.. with all due respect,, boys do cry,, uncontrollably at times.. when no tears appear for anything after years and years.. and sometimes,, often over the most unimportant,, things that don't even have any reality or connections in their life.. but yeah.. when i listen to music, by a female artist or involving their qualified work.. i can't help to not cry.. so with no presence of tears ever listening to Plumb and their entire history of music,, which mentionable enough to say so should be considered her work alone i think.. Tiffany Arbuckle .. Plumb .. but yeah as far as it goes for her work.. Boys Don't Cry.. though i wouldn't mind saying i did cry.. knowing this song is not connected at all. to me.. being released after my involvement with supporting them.. anyways.. this music video,, openly depicts.. her invovlement with her fans,, and its quite nice.. to know her music.. with connections to Jars of Clay,, Smalltown Poets.. and another group,, Switchfoot.. those three acts all only worthy to listen to their first official release.. but yeah.. don't know if Plumb is connected to Switchfoot officially.. just i would dedicate their song,, Concrete Girl.. to Plumb.. the pun is intended.. and if she gets any remnants of this.. what's up?? i still have no hope.. and blessings are tossed aside and wasted.. thanks for the fruit i tasted.. anyways.. i think even in correct form of Christianity,, with or without respect for, God the Father.. all believers and followers should be Female.. makes since to me.. and i believe my true authority is Female deity,, Goddess.. anyways.. the God most people serve,, is a male figure,, that would rather kill those he loves and slaughter his own son Jesus.. to get people to say okay God we love you alright.. no burning in hell,, okay!! and eternal life with him.. is supposed to be riches.. and eternal life through death.. worshiping god the father.. no thanks,, and thanks for nothing.. however.. a line by King Iso.. from his song,, I Plead Insane..

Poppy and her songs,, Blood Money .. I Disagree .. and her most recent ,, Stagger .. Plumb.. you belong in music history.. no matter what your music might support lyrically.. thanks.. Peace..
You sit there on the couch Sipping your scotch and ice You turn the TV on And tune me out again So what would you say to me If you could talk to me You could ask anything I wouldn't lie But you're okay with this Damaging awkwardness So I'll just play it safe And keep it inside 'Cause boys don't cry I used to hold your hand So tight there was no question But now even when you're near I've never felt so alone So what would you say to me If you could talk to me You could ask anything I wouldn't lie But you're okay with this Damaging awkwardness So I'll just play it safe And keep it inside 'Cause boys don't cry If you just stand beside me I'll keep you in my life Tell me how much you love me And I'll be just fine Don't be afraid of me So what would you say to me If you could talk to me You could ask anything I wouldn't lie But you're okay with this Damaging awkwardness So I'll just play it safe And keep it inside 'Cause boys don't cry
Was this song in the movie "Boys Don't Cry." That movie was so raw. It opened many eyes. Exposed liars, terrorists & lies. Yes, those who participated in bullying, menacing & denigrating others because of their sexuality leading to the murders, rapes, spiritual deaths of many, were exposed. Either their hypocrisy or criminality were exposed. It is tragic that it took #TeenaBrandon's murder to shed a spot light on it but I'm glad we are beginning to evolve from that mentality.
Sounds cheesy but this girl I really loved, but I only knew through Tumblr recently declared she doesn't love anyone. I really like this song. Thank you :) Thank you a lot
Beautiful and amazingly deep song but I couldn't help but wondering if maybe boys not crying is a major contributor to males having almost double the suicide rate of females
+Aaron Reichert I think that your last comment is actually what the song is about. The Father figure in it is acting according to the old saying 'boys don't cry' but what the video is showing, and the song is hoping will happen is that, he will finally break free of tradition and allow himself to feel the emotions and cry if he needs to. His wife in the song and video longs to be close to him and support him, but he has closed himself off from both her and their son. The small part of the video when we see the sprinkler is turned on shows that life would be better if they opened up their emotions and allowed themselves to cry. The sad thing is, the video shows the son learning to close up from his father, yet I think the video hopes for change.
I think you see the husband and wife aren't really connected in their relationship anymore and the kid is caught in the crossfire. He's confused about the situation as evidenced by his outfit looking like a conglomeration of both the parent's outfits. The water at the end is probably symbolically washing away all that negativity and he's able to be himself. I have no idea if I go that right but I think I took a good stab at it...
I love this song but I noticed that many of her videos are like "transliterations" of the lyrics. I wish they could give her a more evocative, profoundly artistic visualization of the songs.
Everyone interprets a song a little differently. For me this song is much more powerful by not watching the video and listening to the lyrics as if they are all from the man's point of view. Just make more sense to me. Give it a try.
Anyone still listen this song
me
@@JM-ss7sc what do you think about this song ?
@@rickbox3793 I can relate to the song. It's same with my current relationship.
Yes. Carried me through some tough times, and carrying me again tonight.Having a bit of an emotional breakdown, but this will pass too.
Yeah and still boys don't cry in 2022.
Big fan of Plumb.
This song means so much to me. After I came out and told my parents I was gay, this song really described the way I felt & helped me to deal with everything that was going on in my life at the time. Plumb and her music are so amazing, words can do no justice.
I know it has been 7 years, and you probably won't see my comment, but it was so nice to read yours. Welcome to the family. :) Plumb has always spoken to me as well.
I just stumbled upon Plumb today and I gotta say she's one of the most underrated singers EVER @.@ Such beautiful tunes!!
I am glad you discovered her.. I hope you now know all of her work from the start..
What a song! Clearly one of the top well written Rock songs. The power/drive of this gem never sounds dull as the years pass by. One of my favorites.
I used to play this song on repeat some years back! still awesome
I used to listen to this song late in the night and just stare into my window. Absorbing the stillness of the night while drinkin my coffee and a cigarette on one hand. I loved my solitude. Those were priceless moments.
I hope your parents are supportive or willing to understand. Let them ask any question & don't dismiss them, even if you are uncomfortable or annoyed.

I asked her what she meant, she said its about a man & a woman,my reply was it was about love. She nodded, smiled and thanked me. I loved her so much and miss her.
Beautifully haunting, I miss these type of songs that thugs your heartstrings.
I miss this band back in the 90's..
Plumb is still around :)
It's not a 90s song...
Wow! I am in tears, the lyrics are really hitting home for me now. The part of the song about we used to hold hands so tight with no question and now you're so near and I have never felt so alone.
Underrated artist and a beautiful song
it means so deep, my mom wants me to listen this after my dad passed away. i thought she was joking cos' its not the type of song that im into, the truth is that she saw me crying for the first time and after that i smile but i never cry again hehehe i miss my dad...
The lyrics are so real... I'm addicted to it!
this is from 2003?! and i've never heard it till now...thank goodnesss for youtube, i would never have heard this!
2003-2004
Jesus has a humble and lowly heart!
Love you Plumb! I heard this album for the first time back in 2008/2009 or something when I was still a teenager. I still hear your beautiful voice today.
Greetings from Portugal
2008? Try 2003 my friend, when I was in middle school
ah boys & men do cry

Brian Woodson and this video was her expressing her side with a amazing voice
yo how did you understand and know this stuffs?.. an unexperienced man cant explain things like this!.. seems like youve been through some such things t0o.. exactly you just explained myself..
@@ekielrjayme3347 You don't have to go through those problems to understand it. It's called psychology my friend I have a natural gift for psychology myself.
as the title says 'boys dont cry' implies natural male ego based personality regardless of social status. Its like saying boys will be boys
Boys dont cry? Why im crying? Miss this song...
Why so underrated 🔥
Tiffany has a beautiful face and voice
I'm in LOVE!!!! This song is so beautiful, I have literally been listening to it all week on repeat!
Me too! Why is it so hard for us to "get it". Some like flashy, and some like "close to the heart". Me, I like this.
Still listening! ❤

2024, anyone?
This video is exactly what I pictured in my mind listening way before seeing this. Been here once. I can relate. Sometimes the magic goes away.
So close to home for me. Things were so bad I had no words. Felt foolish. Many years ago.
Finally I found out!
Love this band ever!!! so strong lyrics
So much love for this song
awesome song. brings a lot of memories. Plumb Rocks! :D
sa musique a été ma thérapie pendant de nombreuses années.
thanks
One of my fave songs
My favorite songs❤❤
2024 here!! 🙌
Me gusta mucho esta canción!!

Aww how is beautiful your voice is.... This song have so much meaning.
WTF never knew plumb was behind this song.. i just knew it now 2018 when i saw this video ... haha oh my!! what a great song!
"so what would you say to me, you could ask anything, i woulnt lie. But your okay with this damaging awkwardness and keep it inside."

Amo essa música!! ❤🥰😍

Very underrated song ..
im listening to this at 2012 :D
Love this vibe
my go to song.. love it
tell me how much you love me and I'll be just fine
Thank you for post this video..GB
You sit there on the couch
Sipping your scotch and ice
You turn the TV on
And tune me out again
So what would you say to me
If you could talk to me
You could ask anything
I wouldn't lie
But you're okay with this
Damaging awkwardness
So I'll just play it safe
And keep it inside
'Cause boys don't cry
I used to hold your hand
So tight there was no question
But now even when you're near
I've never felt so alone
So what would you say to me
If you could talk to me
You could ask anything
I wouldn't lie
But you're okay with this
Damaging awkwardness
So I'll just play it safe
And keep it inside
'Cause boys don't cry
If you just stand beside me
I'll keep you in my life
Tell me how much you love me
And I'll be just fine
Don't be afraid of me
So what would you say to me
If you could talk to me
You could ask anything
I wouldn't lie
But you're okay with this
Damaging awkwardness
So I'll just play it safe
And keep it inside
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry, but men do.
shes smooth
Crying man here....
I Miss You AmandaLynn...
Please come back to me...
love it lots !
I love this song so much 😊

No. The movie came out a few years ahead of this song.
Sounds cheesy but this girl I really loved, but I only knew through Tumblr recently declared she doesn't love anyone. I really like this song. Thank you :) Thank you a lot
I really luv d song ", nas68
love it
Boys, Boys... Please don"t cry ... :)
Live the real life..
best ever
Great song ~.^
Boys never. Cry
+Beauty and the Beast bull freaking crap
+Bryan Edwards I was wrong I'm sorry boys do cry but there's boys who like to make girls cry
i see what you are saying, but everyone needs to cry
+Bryan Edwards I'm sorry I know Your right ... I actually didn't mean it I was sad when I was listening to this but it's true everyone cries I'm sorry
you dont need to apologize so much i understand and i probably could have just said i understand eralier
my love story at this very momment
anyone else think the video came from the late 80s or early 90s?
Beautiful and amazingly deep song but I couldn't help but wondering if maybe boys not crying is a major contributor to males having almost double the suicide rate of females

@@missi44 girls just do suicide attempts for attention, they know it wont kill them. Boys actually commit suicide, no attention seeking.

I'm trying to understand the video. Can someone help me here? I'm missing something, but I love the song.
I think you see the husband and wife aren't really connected in their relationship anymore and the kid is caught in the crossfire. He's confused about the situation as evidenced by his outfit looking like a conglomeration of both the parent's outfits. The water at the end is probably symbolically washing away all that negativity and he's able to be himself. I have no idea if I go that right but I think I took a good stab at it...
sad song

plumb looks like my now ex-husband's mistress.. damn!
hahaha
I love this song but I noticed that many of her videos are like "transliterations" of the lyrics. I wish they could give her a more evocative, profoundly artistic visualization of the songs.
I don't understand what's going on with the kid in the weird net vest thing. Is he supposed to be the couple's son?
Everyone interprets a song a little differently. For me this song is much more powerful by not watching the video and listening to the lyrics as if they are all from the man's point of view. Just make more sense to me. Give it a try.
+firstmusic00 You're right - I think that makes the song even sadder.
Not like girls at least .... I don't think they do
Taylor Swift stole Plumb
Un clásico
