I’m here 2024 March 80’s baby listening what I came into the world amazing learning this song from Miami Vice episode beautiful song born 85’ my born era I know those were the days for all that grew up on this
Was this from definitely Miami or Irish Eyes Are Crying? Either way, Michael Mann and Anthony Yerkovich knew how to pick the songs that best fit the mood.
1985: still amazing after all these years. The video was far ahead of its time, and Godley and Creme, with Trevor Horn producing, made a record that still stands the test of time.
This is one of the most underrated songs and music videos in history. The music is perfect, the lyrics are simple and make the point without being too wordy. A gem of simplicity. The music, the mix, wow, really, every time I hear it I get goosebumps!!! And as for the video, is just a masterpiece, it is an amazing piece of art, you have that the technology to morph didn't exist at the time, these are simple and basic wipe effects done with video that was capture on "tape". That's right, the material no matter how good the camera, and lenses were was put into a tape, no digital stuff. It is just amazing, thaks Goodley and Creme!!!!
My dad borrowed my car a while back and left his 80s nu-wave mix CD in the stereo for me to listen to. He told me to check out this one at the end and said it was on an episode of Miami Vice. The first time I listened to this song all the way through, I got chills. This is one of the most gorgeous songs I’ve ever heard - I can’t believe I haven’t heard it on any of the big 80s radio stations or Spotify playlists! Was it this underrated back then, too?
On the strength of the song and the video, I bought the LP; god only knows what landfill it's in now, along with the rest of my LPs, and that's Shame On Me.
I remember driving on a gray, rainy summer day and this song came on, almost perfectly to the rhythm of the windshield wipers. I've never forgotten that.
@seanpratchler1888 --That's a great story, and I can relate because something similar happened to me. I was once stopped at a railroad crossing, with Tom Petty's _American Girl_ playing on the radio. The crossing's lights and bell were were exactly in sync with the song's refrain. And I mean exactly. I couldn't but laugh out loud, and because I was alone in the car, it must have made a weird site to the other drivers alongside. I didn't care, it was a great moment.
Brings back happy memories. I remember in the 80's when I would go over to my girlfriend's house after work on Fridays. We would snuggle on the couch and watch Miami Vice. This is one of the songs they played. Time marches on...we later got married and Miami Vice was canceled. Jump ahead 3 kids and 22 years later and she left me for a doctor. I sure do miss Miami Vice...makes me want to cry!
I am so sorry this happened to you. I got dumped in September of '85 by a gal that lived 3 houses from me. I still think about her but things worked out for the best as I met a lady in August of '88 and we got married September of '90. We are still together 32 years later. Music and memories go together!
What an incredible song weaved in to an incredible scene - Charlie transforming into Crocket and appearing to Cali - in the best episode of the series.
I just did the math, and it has been 41 years since I’ve last heard it. What’s weird is that I’ve never forgotten it or it’s video. Just graduated H.S. and busy with work/college. Time does fly😊
My daughter just heard this song in a grocery store in Carnation, WASHINGTON !!!!!! She called to tell me , but I couldn't find it on RUclips , so between her and her husband they got "Godley& Creme-cry . I just watched it 6 times .GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One hit wonder. Yet, it brings back so many memories. I wish I could go back in time! Such fond memories of a time that was so different in a superior way!
Watching this now after going down a rabbit hole that started with A-ha. These two guys have had a fantastic career that included being in 10cc in the 1970's. You should Google them to see all the videos they directed back in the 80's90's. It's so great so know that these two really are a huge success story. This video utilized their groundbreaking technology that morphed the faces. I remember being enthralled with it back then. So, great change from what someone might think is a "one hit wonder". Yeah, Wikipedia them. Their careers are so cool. 😊
If you ever had a broken heart watch this. You're not the only one who feels pain. It means you are human. This is why it is so horrible for humans to compete with one another. It leads to a deadening of compassion. Thank you Godley & Creme.
@@slagit ... sure, but we don't live in a communist country. We live in a crony-capitalist country. Predatory capitalism going up. Socialism going down. More bailouts please.
The members of 10cc will be remembered for a lot of the music they made. But I wonder if 'I'm Not In Love' and 'Cry' are the most significant. The production, writing, sound and emotional impact of both songs are all top tier.
It's a bit evocative of I'm Not In Love, in that it's got a very pared-down rhythmic backing track, and the emotional vocal out front is everything. It's a great song. I have to say though that I'm Not In Love is a masterpiece, particularly for its time.
That's right. Once graham Gould and Eric Stewart who founded the band started to impose thier songwriting commerciality on the band. Eric Stewart took control from then on. The og band was over. Godley and creme were heading in a different direction. The last song that Godley and recorded with 10 cc was never let it slip away. Godley didn't like the song due commercial nature. There is a terrific documentary about the band. Eric Stewart was in total control to the point where he ruled out Godley and cremes participation in future reunion. And he hires musicians who are friends of his. Godley said that he didn't know about the reunion and wasn't told about. The band tours without either of them. Godley says that those 10 cc days in the past
I had forgotten about this song! I was on a long drive home and was listening to one of my favorite channels on Sirius: 80's. This tune came on, and the wave of bittersweet memories of childhood, love, and addiction to music had rushed through me. The experience brought back to a fleeting state of mind with no worries. I'm so glad that I was reunited with this tune!
Rocks my soul for better or for worse. My late wife passed in December, but her cognition faltered so fast, we never had that moment to acknowledge the end. This song says it all…
I was listening to XM 80s Driving when I heard this song. My jaw dropped. I Loved this song. I scrambled to see the title so I could play it over and over again. I loved the 80s. Merry Christmas.
GTA 4 had a great taste in music with their in-game radio station. Before a mission I would sit in the car and let the song finish. Then I'd start playing again.
I remember watching this on Friday Night videos after it has been on Miami Vice. The 80s were full of good times. I was only 10 in 1985, but I remember all the 80s very well. I am now a God on a synthesizer thanks to videos like this one and many others.
nice sentiment, but.. in my experience with writing -- not so true. To make it universal, strip out some of the specifics... else you'll trip someone up going "ok, well.. I don't really identify with that" - i mean, this is universal cause the lyrics are beautifully, perfectly generic. - and I don't mean the generic in a bad way.
It was in a MiamiVice episode. That’s where I first heard it back when it first aired. I listened to acid rock like Black Sabbath, Cream etc Personally I don’t think I have ever heard it on the radio. Like I said, I didn’t really listen to this genre at the time. But it sure worked in that Miami Vice episode. That was the Ted Nugent episode.
Many (including VH1's "Pop-Up Video") wrongly believe this brilliant video to be an early example of computer morphing, but the effects are achieved solely with skillful use of traditional lap dissolves and optical wipes.
The music is haunting and perfectly matched with the stirring vocals. Reminds me of Roy Orbison and Chris Isaac....if these two artists' works were mixed together by IA it would sound like this!!

Romantic? It's exactly the opposite. It's about heartache, pain, and long suffering. Doesn't make it any less beautiful, though...probably even more so.
@@rikk319 No, it’s utterly romantic. You’re missing it if you think this is analytical. Heartache, pain and suffering is the major ingredient surrounding romanticism. Get it together ffs.
@@PS987654321PS Watching the man who bookends the video crying, and multiple other people showing varying degrees of negative emotions--hopelessness, worry, exasperation, and even rage. This is as much romance as "Every Breath You Take" is romantic. Sting has mentioned multiple times that the Police song is about a stalker...but it doesn't stop people from playing it at their wedding reception. FFS--the title of the song is "Cry", not "Romance". Sure, people can do what they want...but it doesn't change the original intent of the artists.
@@rikk319 Don’t confuse the video with the song. Also, it’s a mistake to conflate this song, or any other “romantic” song with Every Breath you Take. They are different songs. Also, romance is not all happiness, joy, positivity, hope, sentiment. For many, the notion of the romantic is fatalistic which is probably closer to the human condition and human experience. It no doubt though will differ from person the person and culture to culture.
LYRICS: You don't know how to ease my pain You don't know You don't know how to ease my pain You don't know what the sound is darlin' It's the sound of my tears falling Or is it the rain? You don't know You don't know how to play the game And you cheat, you lie You make me want to cry You make me want to cry Cry You make me want to cry You don't know how to ease my pain, you don't know You don't know how to ease my pain Don't you hear any voices crying? That's the sound of our love dying Here comes the rain You don't know how to play the game And you cheat, you lie You don't even know how to say goodbye You make me want to cry You don't know You don't even know how to say goodbye You make me want to cry You don't even know how to say goodbye You make me want to cry Cry Cry Cry Cry
Take me back to a great time where friends and family were fully together. And to tell our happiness and triumphs, and to despair without telling a cell phone or doing a web search
You struck a chord with me. The last time my family was fully intact was in 1981, just shortly before we lost my dad to a motorcycle crash. We were able to continue, of course; we had to. And there are good memories from that time (my college days, my brothers and sister still liking me, my mother not hit by Altzheimer's yet). I can look back and think; "my god, we were all so damn young".
The power of song to take you back to a special place and time...The fall of 1985, senior year of high school, all the friends I made that year and all the memories of a carefree youth...I miss it so much it really does make me wanna cry!😢
I’ve been waiting years on this. Every other video that was uploaded was cut all to pieces or blocked because of copyright infringement. I would check back from time to time to see if the original video was posted. Excellent. Thank you
this is an amazing video of morphing when the technology was a little more rudimentary. In my observation, I see several related people. And what a great song! Very well produced in the stereo mix! Thank you Godley and Creme and all those in the video.
The morphing is done just by dissolving one image on the other using a TV switcher. At the time, this was considered an innovative video and it still holds up nearly 40 years later.
I'm from the MTV generation. We were fortunate to witness MTV change music history. For me, there was one video that stood above the rest, Godley and Creme, Cry. On MTV, everything was moving, moving very fast. From Michael Jackson's, Thriller, to Peter Gabriel's, Sledge Hammer, to Madonna grabbing her crotch in, Express Yourself, sometimes I would get a headache turn the TV off. Too much visual noise. When I first saw, Cry, I froze. I could not move. I was speechless. It was melancholy and slow and the morphing of faces was something never seen before, literally. It was revolutionary. It was a full five years after Cry that Sinead O'Connor hit hard with her similar, Nothing Compares to You. Unfortunately, things that are bombastic and make the loudest noise are the most remembered and Cry's focused, inward look at sadness and loss is mostly forgotten. Also, the digitized video you see on RUclips and elsewhere is only a facsimile of what this video was like on a CRT TV back in 1985. The blacks were deep. The greys were silvery. Here, the highlights are blown out. Also, the transitions were seamless and smooth like butter, and don't discount the quality of audio in 1985. Many people had their TVs hooked up to kick-ass stereos. Godley and Creme's Cry was powerful. Like every other MTV video and many great films and TV shows of the past, this video proved to be ephemeral. What we see here is a ghost of what was. Still, I bow.
I'm all alone in my place of employment today and in backdrop of the hush of the building I here this song faintly playing. I am slightly confused because I know that it was the soft rock station playing, yet my mind is not wrapping around this song or who it is, but I know that it is hitting me in an emotional way that only comes once in a blue moon. I quickly search "make me want to cry" and thank god I was able to find this song. I am a music junkie and grew up all through the 80's, watched Miami Vice every Friday I could, yet somehow, someway this song circumvented my life until now. This has happened to me before, where a song comes to life at the right time after decades and I think to myself how glad I am that it didn't find me until now. I needed this today. I have been longing for the years that have passed and wonder how it all came and went before my eyes. I question whether or not it even happened, and yet it did. All these years of my youth that were full of excitement, hope and promise and now decades later I am wondering what this life is all meaning now. The "Groundhog Day" in and out of the same ol same ol, aging, looking in the mirror and wondering if all the wonder, splendour, and awe of life has left me. This song aches of nostalgia and it makes me want to find some way to reach out, reach back and get myself back to who I used to be. I work every day at getting better in some way, yet Im lost in this rat race and wish I could just be fearless and free again; when we were at that age that youth was forever, age was only for someone else and the world was going to be everything we wanted it to be. Of course that is not real, yet the belief that it somehow was is what drove me. It is what made me wake up each day and believe that just over the horizon was pure bliss within my grasp. God damn I miss those years. I miss my friends that have now long since moved away, grown up and changed beyond what I once knew. I am here now, and I will continue to do my best, yet I don't care what anyone says, these years of the 80's and early 90's were an era that no one will ever see again. I am so glad I grew up when I did, and even though I am older now I wouldn't trade it for anything. They were the best years of my life.
You’re gonna get thru this. Your attitude already says you’re able to persist & use whatever you’re feeling as a step towards something better. Luckily you did grow up during years that were more difficult than life today- it made you strong. Keep your chin up & anchor yourself In whatever makes you happy- music, memories & knowing you’re able to work thru anything life throws your way. You got this!
80's Memory Triggered.. Sitting around any one of our parents living room after school watching this on MTV with a group of friends before Mom and Dad got home from work 😊 Latchkey kids!!
This song is addictive. That voice on those high notes is awesome. I quote Norm, from the TV show, Cheers, as it pertains to the reason he is crying. "Women, cant live with them......pass the beer nuts"
Absolutely timeless and beautiful song. And I love that Trevor Horn has a spot at the very end. I was 12 or so when I first saw this, although it's the 10CC song "I'm not in Love" that brings me back to this treasure.

Here in 2024. Just making sure this song is still timeless. It IS
This song still makes me cry in 2024. We waste so much time fighting sometimes only to remember how precious life is. No one lives forever.
I’m here 2024 March 80’s baby listening what I came into the world amazing learning this song from Miami Vice episode beautiful song born 85’ my born era I know those were the days for all that grew up on this

I've been knew this song will be timeless. I've said it since 1999
It surely is!
If you’re still listening to this in 2023 you’re an absolute legend!!
Everyone tells me that.

The local am station plays it often.
Why thank you. I’m a Legende’ ☺️

With each passing year I miss the 80s more.
testify!! best decade EVER for music, movies & TV...
You ain't never lied!!!
Indeed
I completely agree with you
you are not alone with that thought
Will never forget this song in Miami Vice......Perfect.
Don't forget Beavis and Butthead.
Just watched this episode of Miami Vice last night, Ted Nugent episode. One of the most beautiful songs ever.
@@Melanie-u3k
Still packs a wallop!
Perfect
I agree.
Man, Miami Vice knew how to pick the best songs.
They just played the coolest songs off the radio of the day.
Miami Vice was awesome period
Was this from definitely Miami or Irish Eyes Are Crying? Either way, Michael Mann and Anthony Yerkovich knew how to pick the songs that best fit the mood.
"Definitely Miami", featuring Ted Nugent as the villain. One of my favorite episodes, and "Cry" provides the perfect background for a great scene.
The program was awesome, the music was fantastic, the whole of the 80’s was fabulous, bring back those days.
I miss those days. It makes me want to cry.
I hear you those where the day😂🎉
absolutely
1985: still amazing after all these years. The video was far ahead of its time, and Godley and Creme, with Trevor Horn producing, made a record that still stands the test of time.
I was more partial to Max Headroom but this song a tear jerker!
or something from Peter Gabriel@@HDramboDwango

@@bookFreak8191 Yes it was, I grew up in that time and it was a magnificent song but it never got the play or attention it deserved...
Equally impressive is "I'm Not In Love" from their time with 10CC. Lyrically simple, emotionally complex. They could paint a picture!
Also there direction of the Video. Godley and Creme came up with the face morphing filming and editing.
On the strength of the song and the video, I bought the LP; god only knows what landfill it's in now, along with the rest of my LPs, and that's Shame On Me.

Go buy a Corvette and leave the toilet seat up!
They all leave eventually
Oh, man!
I remember this song too from back in the day (Class of 82) but somehow the haunting vibe is even more sensual now!!
Same here man
I am so sorry this happened to you. I got dumped in September of '85 by a gal that lived 3 houses from me.

What a unique and mesmerizing song. Absolutely amazing. I was 12 when this came out (first heard it on Miami Vice), I’m almost 50 now. Time flies.
I was 18 years old in 1985 when this song came out.
I heard this for 1st time a few days ago watching Miami Vice for 1st time. Wow is all I can say. Very impressed.
I was 10. Lol.
What an incredible song weaved in to an incredible scene - Charlie transforming into Crocket and appearing to Cali - in the best episode of the series.
Same here. I turn 50this year....
The 80's should be designated as a tourist attraction. Quite an epic decade!
I haven’t heard this song in 37 years…Man I’m old
So am I.. .lol
You guys are not old,… you are as timeless as your memories…. Best wishes!!
I just did the math, and it has been 41 years since I’ve last heard it.
What’s weird is that I’ve never forgotten it or it’s video. Just graduated H.S. and busy with work/college.
Time does fly😊
Miami Vice still had the best sound track of any program still today!!!!
One of the jewels of the 80's.
In 1985, this was cutting edge video technology, very innovative for it's time
It was awesome then and it is still awesome today,over 35yrs later
Trevor Horn of the Buggles appears at the end.
Lol!! Yes🤣 but still looks great till this day😄
This video inspired Sledgehammer

Music does that to us...music is truly magic. Real-life magic.
I first heard this one while stationed in Hanau Germany back in 84
The same thing happened to me.
A fleeting feeling of innocence and youth and optimism. All from a song.

This is one of those haunting songs that puts you in a particular time and place, even if you were never actually there before. 10/10

@@davidkennedy585 you are doing it wrong.
You can tell that some of these people were singing their hearts out. As one should when singing to this masterpiece. 🎤
I am 54 and grew up listening to 80’s rock and pop constantly. I have never heard this song until today.
It was in a MiamiVice episode. That’s where I first heard it back when it first aired. I listened to acid rock like Black Sabbath, Cream etc Personally I don’t think I have ever heard it on the radio. Like I said, I didn’t really listen to this genre at the time.

What a mess ❤ it 😂
I watched Miami Vice too, but saw this on MTV first. Immediate favorite.
I’m 55 and used to hear it a lot back then. Mostly on MTV.
I used to watch this on the old TBS weekend video series, Night Tracks.
We didn't have MTV, but we had Night Tracks and Friday Night Videos... NT was my introduction to New Wave, Brit Pop, the precursor to Alternative...

Butt-Head: He's faking it.
Beavis: Yeah he's not really taking a dump

Finally! Found the "Original, Classic Video." THANK YOU!🤗👊
I was looking for it also! Glad it's back!
I was looking for it too. I thought it was ELP, but it's an offshoot.
Still awesome in 2024. A timeless classic.
Decided to watch some old Miami Vice episodes and this song came up. Beautifully haunting...just like the femme fatal in the last scene.
Haha, with Ted Nugent! That one's incredible. They used the 12-inch version for that sequence. I like Castillo's staredown of that one guy.
Ha,just watched it "Definitely Miami"
Season 2 original air date 1.10.86 35 yrs later and as fresh as it was then
@@shelbycm7 I found my people!
Sonny didn't utter a single word😎
I remember in the 80's when I would go over to my girlfriends house after work on Fridays. We would sit on the couch and watch Miami Vice. We later got married and Miami Vice got canceled. Skip ahead 22 years and she left me for a doctor...I sure do miss Miami Vice...makes me want to cry!
I am 70 years old. I was blessed with music that now is as fresh as the day i first heard it. Probably more so. ❤
One of the most beautiful and deeply romantic songs ever written. The production on this song is genius.
Romantic? It's exactly the opposite. It's about heartache, pain, and long suffering. Doesn't make it any less beautiful, though...probably even more so.
I love it even more today.
@@rikk319 No, it’s utterly romantic. You’re missing it if you think this is analytical. Heartache, pain and suffering is the major ingredient surrounding romanticism. Get it together ffs.
@@PS987654321PS Watching the man who bookends the video crying, and multiple other people showing varying degrees of negative emotions--hopelessness, worry, exasperation, and even rage.
This is as much romance as "Every Breath You Take" is romantic. Sting has mentioned multiple times that the Police song is about a stalker...but it doesn't stop people from playing it at their wedding reception. FFS--the title of the song is "Cry", not "Romance". Sure, people can do what they want...but it doesn't change the original intent of the artists.
@@rikk319 Don’t confuse the video with the song. Also, it’s a mistake to conflate this song, or any other “romantic” song with Every Breath you Take. They are different songs. Also, romance is not all happiness, joy, positivity, hope, sentiment. For many, the notion of the romantic is fatalistic which is probably closer to the human condition and human experience. It no doubt though will differ from person the person and culture to culture.
A very high impactful emotional song ever produced ...Thank you Godley and Creme.
Another great Trevor Horn production.
luv his cameo at the end LOL
LYRICS:
You don't know how to ease my pain
You don't know
You don't know how to ease my pain
You don't know what the sound is darlin'
It's the sound of my tears falling
Or is it the rain?
You don't know
You don't know how to play the game
And you cheat, you lie
You make me want to cry
You make me want to cry
Cry
You make me want to cry
You don't know how to ease my pain, you don't know
You don't know how to ease my pain
Don't you hear any voices crying?
That's the sound of our love dying
Here comes the rain
You don't know how to play the game
And you cheat, you lie
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me want to cry
You don't know
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me want to cry
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me want to cry
Cry
Cry
Cry
Cry
Awesome
I prefer the extended version cat get enuff!
Dedicated to my late husband
♡♡♡♡
Imma singin this karaoke night
Incredibly simple but profound and powerful. I get chills with this video.
This song is just magic
Back in the 80s a friend told me what a great video this was. I heard the song but never saw the video until now.
I never heard this, until today.
March 22, 2022 It has quickly moved onto my favorites list. .
Cry happens to be my Word of the Day.
💔🤭💔😏💔🙂
I was struck similarly by it only it was back in the 80's when it actually came out.
@@brettbest192
Proof of the goodness. Good then.
Good now. Truth in music and life is the best. Even when it makes us cry. 💙
@@pattiturner8080 crying is healing and I have done a lot of it but laughed a lot more I hope
Sorry it took you forever to find it it's been around forever
@@hankkingsley9300 . Right😏🤭🙂 ...
just goes to show we how we can continue to learn and grow.
MTV was so much fun and exciting back in 84-85-86 you couldnt wait for the new weird videos to come out📺📡🎶
Back when MTV actually played music. Now it's just trash.
40 years later and it's still amazing
I was eleven, summer of 85 and me and my best buddy used to laugh at this video.
Take me back to a great time where friends and family were fully together. And to tell our happiness and triumphs, and to despair without telling a cell phone or doing a web search
You struck a chord with me. The last time my family was fully intact was in 1981, just shortly before we lost my dad to a motorcycle crash. We were able to continue, of course; we had to. And there are good memories from that time (my college days, my brothers and sister still liking me, my mother not hit by Altzheimer's yet).
I can look back and think; "my god, we were all so damn young".
I wish I could thumbs up 👍 this video a zillion times!!! Beautiful song 🩷❤️💜❤️🩷
Still in my playlist in 2024!
The first time I heard this was on Miami Vice. Episode was " Definitely Miami". I'll never forget this song.
Facebook clip brought me here!! I forgot about this song
Happy New Year 2024 !!
I had forgotten this song existed. So glad I stumbled on it again.
I heard this on Miami Vice when I was a kid and I’ve never forgotten it.
It's a very moving and powerful video
i haven't heard this song in SO long. I love it!
There is no song that can come close to this it's so unique and special
One of the best Songs 👍👍👍👍
Bring back the 80's
The power of song to take you back to a special place and time...The fall of 1985, senior year of high school, all the friends I made that year and all the memories of a carefree youth...I miss it so much it really does make me wanna cry!😢
Hanging out in the parking lot of Huffines Park Rec Center
me too senior in ht schiol
I remember seeing it on MTV in the middle eighties. Two of the four guys that made up 10cc. Gotta love this video! It’s ingenious to say the least -
One of the best songs ever!
The year 1985 brought me here. Since I was their and this is apart of it and the 80s are a part of me No matter where I go their I am.
I’ve been waiting years on this. Every other video that was uploaded was cut all to pieces or blocked because of copyright infringement. I would check back from time to time to see if the original video was posted. Excellent. Thank you
This Has been a Timeless Favorite sience GTA 4 First song on LRR Station.. ❤️ back in 2012
Never got bored listening again n again..missed 80’s moments
Thank you. Finally the original video☺
Still listening to Godley and Creme, 30 years on. I'll never stop.
this is an amazing video of morphing when the technology was a little more rudimentary. In my observation, I see several related people. And what a great song! Very well produced in the stereo mix! Thank you Godley and Creme and all those in the video.
@@DoctorPatient interesting
yep now you know where m.j. got it from for black and white
They were from a modeling agency, some may have been related.
@@3inchhippotomous.508 They even had a guy who looked like Mr. T. It's a great video.
The morphing is done just by dissolving one image on the other using a TV switcher. At the time, this was considered an innovative video and it still holds up nearly 40 years later.
That guy had a voice. Their old band 10cc was great, and this was early MTV video gold.
I'm from the MTV generation. We were fortunate to witness MTV change music history. For me, there was one video that stood above the rest, Godley and Creme, Cry. On MTV, everything was moving, moving very fast. From Michael Jackson's, Thriller, to Peter Gabriel's, Sledge Hammer, to Madonna grabbing her crotch in, Express Yourself, sometimes I would get a headache turn the TV off. Too much visual noise. When I first saw, Cry, I froze. I could not move. I was speechless. It was melancholy and slow and the morphing of faces was something never seen before, literally. It was revolutionary. It was a full five years after Cry that Sinead O'Connor hit hard with her similar, Nothing Compares to You. Unfortunately, things that are bombastic and make the loudest noise are the most remembered and Cry's focused, inward look at sadness and loss is mostly forgotten. Also, the digitized video you see on RUclips and elsewhere is only a facsimile of what this video was like on a CRT TV back in 1985. The blacks were deep. The greys were silvery. Here, the highlights are blown out. Also, the transitions were seamless and smooth like butter, and don't discount the quality of audio in 1985. Many people had their TVs hooked up to kick-ass stereos. Godley and Creme's Cry was powerful. Like every other MTV video and many great films and TV shows of the past, this video proved to be ephemeral. What we see here is a ghost of what was. Still, I bow.
Hauntingly beautiful ❤️
I'm all alone in my place of employment today and in backdrop of the hush of the building I here this song faintly playing. I am slightly confused because I know that it was the soft rock station playing, yet my mind is not wrapping around this song or who it is, but I know that it is hitting me in an emotional way that only comes once in a blue moon. I quickly search "make me want to cry" and thank god I was able to find this song. I am a music junkie and grew up all through the 80's, watched Miami Vice every Friday I could, yet somehow, someway this song circumvented my life until now. This has happened to me before, where a song comes to life at the right time after decades and I think to myself how glad I am that it didn't find me until now. I needed this today. I have been longing for the years that have passed and wonder how it all came and went before my eyes. I question whether or not it even happened, and yet it did. All these years of my youth that were full of excitement, hope and promise and now decades later I am wondering what this life is all meaning now. The "Groundhog Day" in and out of the same ol same ol, aging, looking in the mirror and wondering if all the wonder, splendour, and awe of life has left me. This song aches of nostalgia and it makes me want to find some way to reach out, reach back and get myself back to who I used to be. I work every day at getting better in some way, yet Im lost in this rat race and wish I could just be fearless and free again; when we were at that age that youth was forever, age was only for someone else and the world was going to be everything we wanted it to be. Of course that is not real, yet the belief that it somehow was is what drove me. It is what made me wake up each day and believe that just over the horizon was pure bliss within my grasp. God damn I miss those years. I miss my friends that have now long since moved away, grown up and changed beyond what I once knew. I am here now, and I will continue to do my best, yet I don't care what anyone says, these years of the 80's and early 90's were an era that no one will ever see again. I am so glad I grew up when I did, and even though I am older now I wouldn't trade it for anything. They were the best years of my life.
You’re gonna get thru this. Your attitude already says you’re able to persist & use whatever you’re feeling as a step towards something better. Luckily you did grow up during years that were more difficult than life today- it made you strong. Keep your chin up & anchor yourself In whatever makes you happy- music, memories & knowing you’re able to work thru anything life throws your way. You got this!
Thank you for your reply. The encouragement really means a lot.@@starckclubmusic9902
One of the best videos ever made, period
Lord I miss the 80s and I truly miss you and the times we had
Fn love this song! was a freshman in high school when this was shown on MTV fun times 😎
80's Memory Triggered.. Sitting around any one of our parents living room after school watching this on MTV with a group of friends before Mom and Dad got home from work 😊 Latchkey kids!!
Excellent song. Reminds me of many times during my teens in the ‘80’s. 😊😢
This song is addictive. That voice on those high notes is awesome.
I quote Norm, from the TV show, Cheers, as it pertains to the reason he is crying.
"Women, cant live with them......pass the beer nuts"
A very unique video and powerful song. They don't make music like this anymore.
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful song and the video is really good one of my favourite eighties songs thank you godly and creme
Absolutely timeless and beautiful song. And I love that Trevor Horn has a spot at the very end. I was 12 or so when I first saw this, although it's the 10CC song "I'm not in Love" that brings me back to this treasure.
I remember this video on MTV back in '85. There were faces within faces.
Love, love, love this video. It was so simple but so mesmerizing back in the early days of music videos.
I'm stunned every time I hear this song...such talent
I remember this from years ago. Was always ahead of its time. Still great today 2022.
One of the best from the eighties. Lot's of great memories.
After all this time, it's still gets to my soul! I was 18 when I heard this on the show Mimia Vice, I'm 53 now!
I loved this song and the episode of Miami Vice.
