Remember 10CC, and their 1975 hit song, "I'm Not In Love"?





Well, Kevin Godley and Laurence Creme left 10CC in 1979 to form their own music duo, Godley & Creme.
And in a style that only they could've pulled off, they scored again in 1985 with the song, "Cry".

Honestly, I never made a connection between these two songs, a decade apart.
Listening via radio is one thing, but this is my first encounter with the original version of the video produced for the song.

 
"cry" is one of the song
[STRIKE][SUB][/SUB][/STRIKE]s I often sing out loud when I feel like singing.
I recall the video well from 80s TV - I have always felt it was perfect with mid 80s film technology. Modern digital images processing would have encouraged them to create something very different and artistically inferior.
 
I'm embarrassed to admit that I never saw the original video for "Cry" until a few days ago.

I definitely remember the song on the radio, but I was living in Seattle back then and one of the most popular radio DJ's over at station KJR hated this song.
He made some rude comments, especially the ending voice morphing, and it had an effect of the song's reception on all the local radio stations.

After about six months, "Cry" fell out of regular play rotation and I never heard it again.

The video really lifts this song. The pre-digital image morphing is really eerie in some segments. It adds just enough of a oddness that digital morphing can't capture.
Maybe "Cry" will make a splash in a future Guardians movie - stranger things have happened!
