Songs About Crying

Today begins a loosely-related-but-not-really-related series of posts that I thought up over the weekend. We'll start with Songs About Crying, then progress to Songs About Flying, Songs About Lying, Songs About Trying, and maybe even Songs About Dying. The only thing that ties these together is that their titles rhyme. Each post will include a collection of songs with the word from the post's title (or one of its derivatives) in its songs' titles. Get it? Got it? Good! Enjoy!  ~  JH

10)  Highway 101  ~  "Cry, Cry, Cry"  (Back in the late '80s, or maybe it was the early '90s, when I was a big-time fan of The Judds [see #12 below], I saw this band open for them at Kings Dominion. They were really good, too!)

11)  Guns N' Roses  ~  "Don't Cry"

14)  Katy B  ~  "Crying For No Reason"

15)  Live  ~  "Dolphin's Cry"

16)  Madonna  ~  "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina"  (I have no idea why the song starts over without sound around the 5:00 mark…but feel free to stop it there. Nothing new to see after that.)

17)  Cee Lo Green  ~  "Cry Baby"  (If you were wondering, yes, that IS the guy who played Steve Urkel on Family Matters.)

18)  Sheryl Crow  ~  "Can't Cry Anymore"

19)  Santana ft. Sean Paul & Joss Stone  ~  "Cry Baby Cry"

20)  Jimi Hendrix  ~  "The Wind Cries Mary"
