Chris Isaak - Somebody's Crying - Suggestions

Song Somebody's Crying

"Somebody's Crying" is a song by musician Chris Isaak from his fifth album, Forever Blue.

Inspiration and lyrics

Isaak wrote the song shortly after a breakup with his girlfriend. Isaak had attended a friend's party, but soon realized that he did not want to be there. He went inside a walk-in closet, closed the door, grabbed a guitar that was leaning against the back wall, and wrote "Somebody's Crying."

Lyrically, the song describes one's yearning for a former lover, and the fear of communicating again with that person. In a 1995 interview, Isaak compared the lyrics to a way children often speak:

“

Most of us are as terrified of love as little kids are terrified of the world. Little kids come up to you and say, "I know someone who loves you" or "I know someone who likes you." They say it like, I'm not going to really come out and say it. And for adults, it's probably the same way. They never really get beyond that fear.

”

Music video

The music video for "Somebody's Crying" was released in 1995 and was directed by Bill Pope. In contrast to the song's melancholy lyrical content, the video presents a more upbeat story of a summer romance, and features Isaak riding a surfboard, a favorite pastime of his. Isaak said, "I thought it would be more fun to do. More and more I'm trying to keep a little bit of fun in what I'm doing." Actors Jennifer Rubin, Jenna Elfman, Zen Gesner, and Chris Penn appear in the video.

I know somebody and they cry for you
They lie awake at night and dream of you
I bet you never even know they do, but
Somebody's crying

I know somebody and they called your name
A million times and still you never came
They go on loving you just the same
I know that somebody's trying

So please return the love you took from me
Or please let me know if it can't be me
I know when somebody's lying (x4)

Give me a sign and let me know if we're through
If you don't love me like I love you
But if you cry at night the way I do
I'll know that somebody's lying

So please return the love you took from me
Or please let me know if it can't be me
I know when somebody's lying
I know when somebody's lying

Conosco alcuni e loro piangono per te
Loro giacciono svegli la notte e ti pensano
Scommetto che non hai mai saputo cosa fanno, ma
Qualcuno sta piangendo

Conosco alcuni e loro hanno chiamato il tuo nome
Un milione di volte e tu non sei ancora venuto
Loro continuano ad amarti lo stesso
So che qualcuno sta provando

Quindi per favore restituisci l'amore che hai preso da me
O per favore fammi sapere se non posso essere io
Io so quando qualcuno mente (x4)

Dammi un segno e fammi sapere se tra noi è finita
Se non mi ami come ti amo io
Ma se piangi la notte come me
Saprò che qualcuno sta mentendo

Quindi per favore restituisci l'amore che hai preso da me
O per favore fammi sapere se non posso essere io
Io so quando qualcuno mente
Io so quando qualcuno mente
