"Cry baby cry, make your mother sigh, you're old enough to know better, so cry baby cry."- The Beatles.
I love this song. It is off of the White Album, that was the first Beatles album I actually owned myself. My sisters and I used to dance in our living room to my Mom's old Beatles records. The first Beatles song I ever heard was "Drive My Car." An oldie but a goodie. It was fun times.
Back to my original point. You should never start anything off with a quote, that is not relevant to the rest of it. Okay so this song is amazing. I love it. It is almost like a lullabye. Cry baby Cry. Most people would not find the beauty in that quote. I don't know if it's the lyrics or the melody of the song, probably a combination of both. It has a very comforting feeling to it. It makes me feel that it's okay to cry. It's okay to be upset, it's okay to be angry, it's just okay. I can be sad and I can cry and that's okay. Sometiems I feel that I am too old to cry sometimes. No I feel that others feel that I am too old to cry. Because when you are a little kid and you're upset, your mother or somebody is there to comfort you and make you feel better. But now, I mean people can make you feel better when you're upset, but it's not the same. That's what I miss most about being a kid, having someone to comfort you and take care of you. I feel like for I've been on my own for the past couple of years. So this song almost makes me feel like that again. That I can cry, and someone is there for me. Someone who can make me feel better. It's a great feeling.
The other great thing is that The Beatles are probably my favorite band. I used to be a fanatic of them in middle school. And I still absolutely love them, but I'm not necessarily obsessed with them anymore. So I feel like The Beatles is that band that has been through everything with me. Middle School is kind of that milestone in your life when you start to realize how the world works, and when you start to grow up. So The Beatles and I have been through a lot together. And quite honestly I barely made it through middle school or high school for that matter. And The Beatles are the ones who pretty much got me through it.
Another reason why that song is so special is that there is a certain amount of nostalgia to it. My first real CD. I mean I've had this CD since fifth or sixth grade. So it brings back memories of me locking myself up in my room away from the world, to just be in this state of Beatlemania. And I have a feeling that my relationship with The Beatles is hardly over.
I remember in middle school, everyone made fun of me for listening to The Beatles. Kids would be all like "they're old, my parents listen to them". But then when high school hit, everyone was suddenly in love with them. That kind of pissed me off. But middle schoolers are dumb asses.
Yea so back to Cry baby cry. It is the song to play when you are in the mood for a good cry. It will make you feel better. Actually when I listen to it, I want to start crying, just so while I'm listening to it, it can make me feel better, and make me stop crying if that makes any sense. It has this bittersweet feeling to it. It is almost a fairy tale, or a lullabye, it makes me feel like I'm a baby in a nursery and my mom is there taking good care of me. I love it when songs give you this distinguished feeling every time you listen to it, without fail. Even if you listen to it ten times in a row, it still has that magic to it. Well if you havn't listened to that song, then I suggest you do. It's increadible.
