A message about the song/video from Emma Ruth Rundle and Blake Armstrong.
"I wrote this song for my dear friend, artist Blake Armstrong, out of love and in the hope it would console and encourage strength after he expressed to me his fears about living as an openly gay male in a country that's led by an unabashedly hateful figure - and the effects said figure might have on the the country, its laws and its citizens. I hope that the message of the song and video can comfort and empower those who feels marginalized or mistreated or unsafe. I'm happy we finally had a chance to realize our idea for this video. It means so much to us both." ERR
Blake Armstrong says: "The main feeling I've felt has been the level of uncertainty that has made its ugly head known as of recent. Fear is how I feel. Growing up in Texas, I was used to closing myself off or being aware of how I expressed myself for fear of violence. Leaving the south and moving to other parts of the country and even to Canada, I finally felt safe to share myself and personality because I was around like-minded individuals. It felt free. But as of late in this country, that fear has returned wearing a red hat that has made me want to quiet myself and the freedom of who I am. What's worse is not only feeling this not just personally but also nationally. I feel hated. I think with 'You Don't Have To Cry' and this video, it's a reassurance to be who you are now more than ever. That there are people who will embrace you but that regardless, nothing is more important than embracing yourself. You were always meant to be the person you are and that there isn't any amount of hate or bigotry holding you back from living your truest life." Blake Armstrong
"You Dont Have to Cry" Lyrics:
Impetuous girl, what you don’t know can’t hurt you
Wish they wouldn’t come back around here no more
But you say “ I’ll get you yet”
They are crass, all the people in towns, are falling out and falling down and falling
Wish I would’ve come back here less as a boy dressed up as girl dressed all in colors
And how you will sing to them
And how your pain will fall
And how you’ll sing to them
Singing it:
“La la la la la la la la la lah ”
You don’t have to cry anymore
All the prettiest worlds...
Don’t cover them all up in your mind
As you paint, as it should’ve been, you were meant to love
You could not live without it
And in your heart and in your lines
You’ve worked so hard
And you’ve lived so kind, been out there just falling down
Wish they wouldn’t come back
For my boy dressed as a girl dressed all in colors
And how you will sing to them
And how your verses fall
And how there’s a Roman candle burning just for you
You don’t have to cry anymore
