about

We've spent a decent amount of time with Roy Orbison over the past year and we are often taken with the vast heights he is able to scale with his voice. After learning a bit more about his enigmatic and oftentimes tragic career, we felt the pull to inhabit one of his biggest hits together. We share now with you first our interpretation of "Crying." Our covers are never meant to be anything other than an homage and a thank you and an opportunity for us to spend time inside melodies we love. Looking out from inside these great songs teaches us a great deal about ourselves, the songs and music more generally. If you haven't heard the Roy Orbison version, we highly commend it to you. And we humbly offer our duet rendition, replete with 60s drum machine samples, travis-picked baritone electric guitar and theremin.

lyrics

I was alright for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
Yeah, crying
Crying
Over you
