Currently listening to...

...the classic "Cry" by Godley and Creme. The starkness of the sentiment is immediate and surprisingly quite moving.

Kevin Godley and Lol Creme were part of the legendary 70s band 10cc who recorded another classic, "Big Boys Don't Cry," which I will be featuring in an upcoming post in my continuing series of Masterpieces of Pop.




"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 fallin'
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 wanna cry
You make me wanna cry
Cry...
You make me wanna 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 cryin'?
That's the sound of our love dyin'
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 wanna cry
You don't know
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me wanna cry
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me wanna cry
Cry..."
