Who’s Crying Now
Parody: What’s to Cry About
Artist: Journey
Album: Escape
Track number on album: 3
Duration: 5:00
Fodder rating (out of 5): 5
Although the song is longer than most of its compatriots, it is only as wordy as they are, due to a long instrumental section at the end. It remains a song that is nothing too weird, probably 3-fodder at the lowest.
The song opens with It has been a mystery/And still they try to see/Why something good can hurt so bad
and mentions a taste of bittersweet that love survives somehow, some way, shortly thereafter. More or less the angle that can be taken on a bad relationship that happened a long time ago. The theme can be built on more by the lover’s rage, and saying what is worth the love they send, and now you can say your love will never die, in a way. Plus So many stormy nights
could happen in the Caribbean. All in all, a winner in my book.
