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
Cry
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.
2024
The local am station plays it often.
Why thank you. I’m a Legende’ ☺️
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.
@@user-hp3uh6uu9w
Still packs a wallop!
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
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😂🎉
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
Outro + driving around liberty at night = 🥲
GTA IV is a goated game.
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…
One of the jewels of the 80's.
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.
what kind of car?
@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.
It definitely is a rainy day song
That's the beauty of music. It can transform even the most normal events into an eternal moment of magic.
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....
Miami Vice still had the best sound track of any program still today!!!!
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
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!
Go buy a Corvette and leave the toilet seat up!
@@blackforest270 Would only be fitting. Can’t get the time back ever. You can only live and learn.
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
This song never gets old !!!
💞💗🔥💥💫
I love it!
Cry and I’m not in love, two of the most iconic, interesting ballads ever made.
Wow, I see it exactly the SAME way
This song is haunting. I miss the 80s so much....
Still awesome in 2024. A timeless classic.
I tell my Daughters all the time they have no clue How Great the eighties were.....
One of the most powerful songs ever written, and probably the most moving video ever filmed.
and so unkown
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 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!!
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?
@@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.
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.
They were masters at making genuinely experimental and daring songs that retain pop sensibilities at their core. Two brilliant recordings, ahead of their time.
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 agree totally with you on that statement 😊
From a time when MTV played music videos and Music Was Awesome.
Now, MTV sucks ass!!!
You can tell that some of these people were singing their hearts out. As one should when singing to this masterpiece. 🎤
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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Yep...
Well said. Another reason to end capitalism.
@@davidhunternyc1 and destroy communism!
@@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.
One of the most unforgettable music videos ever. The years have taken nothing away from it.
“The more personal you make your art, the more universal it becomes.”
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.
@@davidkennedy585 you are doing it wrong.
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!
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.
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.
I was 10 in 85 to great times.seen this on night tracks and video rock(PBS).I always feel asleep before Friday night videos.
I was 18 in the summer of 85
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
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.
MIAMI VICE ANYONE?🤔
A great episode too. Arielle Dombasle as the bad woman. Sonny was smiltten.
Butt-Head: He's faking it.
Beavis: Yeah he's not really taking a dump
Beavis: Well I'm glad that's over. AHHHHHH!
Butt-head: Now it's over. UHHHHHHH!
Miami Vice kid....80s hurts so good music🌹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A song for 2024.
This song is 80s/Miami vice all in one. Mannnnn, build a time machine someone please!!!
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.
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
A very high impactful emotional song ever produced ...Thank you Godley and Creme.
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. ❤
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!
another 80's great song amazing stil exist
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.
I remember when Beavis and Butthead dissed this video.
Butthead: He's faking it.
Beavis: Yeah, he's not really taking a dump.
"Thingievision" hhhhhhhhhuh huh huh
3:48😨
@@peanutparker9501 AAAAAAH! STOP IT!!!
"I think it's over..."
"CRRRYYYYY!!!!"
"AAAAHHH!!"
I was eleven, summer of 85 and me and my best buddy used to laugh at this video.
One of the best Songs 👍👍👍👍
Bring back the 80's
First time I heard this in July of 1985 cruising around in my friends K Car Wagon late at night in NJ . Then back when MTV actually played music videos I saw this video and frankly for the time period it looks way ahead of its time
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.
This song is a monument. Simple, effective, dramatic yet restrained, minimal yet so grandiose and brimming with presence, emotionally evocative, flawlessly produced and recorded. Just a statuesque recording that towers over so many of their peers. Not only the best single of the 80s but surely one of the greatest of all time. Lightning in a bottle kind of record that could come out today and still sound timeless.
I’m always so struck by the sense of physical space and atmosphere that bassline portrays. It’s huge.
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.
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".
This song is just magic
Another great Trevor Horn production.
luv his cameo at the end LOL
“Sonny, there are beaches whiter than this. So white they hurt your eyes. So clean, so pure. I’ll take you there.”
Incredibly simple but profound and powerful. I get chills with this video.
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"
I'm never gonna see what the 80s were like but only the music is left behind for me to feel what it was like 💯
I heard this on Miami Vice when I was a kid and I’ve never forgotten it.
Excellent song. Reminds me of many times during my teens in the ‘80’s. 😊😢
One of the best from the eighties. Lot's of great memories.
There is no song that can come close to this it's so unique and special
i haven't heard this song in SO long. I love it!
The first time I heard this was on Miami Vice. Episode was " Definitely Miami". I'll never forget this song.
The vocals on this song. My God
I still love this song in 2023
That guy had a voice. Their old band 10cc was great, and this was early MTV video gold.
"We can pick the game, Niko Bellic, but we cannot change the rules"
"You are given a choice between kill your best friend or die. What do you do?." Niko- "You could run." Great trailer for the game using this song.
@@ryanweyker6053 Yes! 👍🏼
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 had forgotten this song existed. So glad I stumbled on it again.
Ha! This song has been stuck in my head for the last five days. Had no idea who did it, or the name of it. All I could remember was, "You don't know how it feels my friend, you don't know." lol! I'm surprised I was able to find it.
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.
Still in my playlist in 2024!
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.
Was there in '89, house sitting in Stony Brook and this came on MTV.
I was alone and had no one to share it with 😭
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.
Hauntingly beautiful ❤️
One of the best songs ever!
I remember this video on MTV back in '85. There were faces within faces.
It's a very moving and powerful video
This song will stand the test of time.
Here in 2424. Just making sure this song is still timeless. BEEP BOOP
G&C captured lightning in a bottle with this song. 1985: MUCH better time. MUCH better music. It still holds up today. And those vocals are banging. #WORD
This song always evokes the feeling of coming down out of the Rockies to my home prairie lands after two weeks on the road selling - heading HOME!!
No one should have been surprised by the creative genius of Godley and Creme. They directed the video for Sting's song Every Breath You Take.
I loved this song in the 80’s but they seldom played it. It isn’t till recently that I found it. Great song!
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 miss those guys. Great, great song.
I bought that CD after seeing Miami vice, just a beautiful song
Fn love this song! was a freshman in high school when this was shown on MTV fun times 😎
Kind of a forgotten treasure of the '80s. I didn't realize these guys were in 10cc. The band that gave us the Yacht Rock gem, "I'm Not in Love".
The more "innovative" songs of 10cc tended to be from Godley & Creme. 10cc created great songs, before and after I'm Not In Love. While 10cc continued to put out some great music, they were just not quite the same after Godley & Creme departed.
Wow I haven't heard this song in 40 years, completely forgot about this one!
Don't remember caring for this song when it came out on the radio. But now I love it. Guess its part of getting older...
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.
This Has been a Timeless Favorite sience GTA 4 First song on LRR Station.. ❤️ back in 2012
Lmfao Trevor Horn at the end there. Love these guys!
IKR?
I remember this from years ago. Was always ahead of its time. Still great today 2022.
