Song Of The Week March 20 2006 - Who's Crying Now
© steveperryfans.com, 2006 - 2011, all rights reserved


It's been a mystery and still they try to see
Why somethin' good can hurt so bad
Caught on a one-way street, the taste of bittersweet
Love will survive somehow, some way

One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
I wonder, who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
I wonder, who's cryin' now

So many stormy nights, so many wrongs or rights
Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage, they tore another page
The fightin' is worth the love they save...

chorus

Only so many tears you can cry
'Til the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die

chorus

(Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain)

This song of the week can be heard on Escape.

"... the solo on Who's Crying Now is a timeless piece of work, it really is. And it's simple, and it's heartfelt, it's the outtro solo, and I will tell you a story, that when this was the single, and we started to record it, I'm sorry, before it became a single, the … Sony wanted us to cut it off, to fade it, and then when we, when I argued and said, "we're NOT cutting it off, it's the outtro solo" they said, "listen nobody does that" so I said, "well, we do!"
