How many of us identify with these lyrics?? So much truth in them. Thank you Melissa for sharing your writing gifts, your voice and your presentation. We are truly blessed. You brought us joy and truth!!
I love her version of this song! Peter Allen actually wrote it but Melissa gave it voice for me.
I strongly agree with the lyrics to this song: it resonates with my life in the day, especially when cousin Lawrence Shelton, Jr. & Sr. waved goodbye 👋 as they journeyed back to Champaign, IL, Monday morning, July 18, 1977: Pat Moody spun it that day (a lady, Brandi L. Atkins also debuted)!!

The symbolisms used in the song are really powerful. It's how we always put on a happy face whenever we miss opportunities in life. And although we try so hard, we sometimes get disappointed or failed still. It means we have to put on a brave face in life. After all life is a stage and we are all actors in it.
very Shakespearean.
No Kidding !!! !
"Those who laugh, laugh together. Those who cry, cry alone."
When you put the most destructive and deceptive kind of advice to lyric. Has it occurred to you that real people who have real life honest experiences exist outside your box and you sound to those people like a liar and a fake? This must be what Kurt Cobain was referring to in heart shaped box.
HEYEAYEYEYEY
Johnny: "David, turn the music down!"
David: "As if I'd listen to this!"
Lol 😅😅😅

@@StopListenThink. Bless you 💙
Hu..???😮 Did someone hurts you? 😳
It speaks to me
Melissa Manchester -- one of the truly great voices.
She has an amazing voice....truly amazing....!tq
Uhh...no she isn't.
@@OwnMySunrise Yes, she is one of the great voices. I had seen her in concert many years ago. She sang at the Academy Awards in the early 1980s. She was a back-up singer for Bette Midler, The Harlettes, in the early 1970s and released her first album in 1973 at the age of 22 and is still making music at age 71. Hers is not the only famous version of "Don't Cry Out Loud", but the most famous, released in 1978 when she was 27 years old. She has been featured on many television shows and specials.
What that song about
Nice song
The "Don't Cry Out Loud" is about not feeling sorry for yourself and pushing on through the tough parts of life.
I love this type of music, reminds me of the good ole times in the 70s. Especially her songs "don't cry out loud: alnd "midnight blues"
2:24 POV: You’re trying to sleep in room 7 of the Rosebud Motel
“Can you turn down the Music please”
@@eureitate as if you think that’s what I listen to!
TURN THE MUSIC DOWN!!!
It's originally by an Australian artist called Peter Allan who wrote it about his mother after his father shot himself with a gun and she had to keep it together for the sake of Peter and his sisters.
The song is written from Peter's view on how his mother kept herself strong for them.
Wasn't he gay and married to Liza Minelli?
Thank you
it's the most beautiful song or words a son, or daughter, could ever write for their mother, they 'all' need encouragement and comfort in stressful situations like this.
Beautiful, I heard this version before buying PA tape which featured his version, loved them both, I sing it in my head when taking those long long walks alone. Thank you both MM and PA.
:'(
Oh man, what a song what a singer, what a voice. I ❤️ Melissa M.
CRY AS LOUD AS U NEED TOO! KEEPING YOUR FEELINGS BOTTLED UP ISNT NOT GOOD. BEING STRONG DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T BE HUMAN!
Glad I'm not the only one. The voice is nice and the singer talented, but, the song. This is probably the most self harmful thing I have ever heard. What a depressing, self defeating, awful message.
You get a downvote from me Fran. Feelings are like the points on whose line, they're all made up and don't matter.
Some people are too open with their feelings.. I really do believe it's especially weak for a man to cry in public, I mean unless it was because of really tragic unexpected news like maybe an unexpected death of a loved one I could understand.. I never want to be an open book..
My mom loved this song. She would sing along to it, when I was young. I learned so much from her messages. Miss you mom ❤
I used to play it on the piano. my father loved it
I remember this song when I was little. My mom would sing it it beautifully. Forgot all about it until one day a friend of mine was singing it to me. Powerful message some 30 years later.
40 YEARS FOR ME LINDA PARZYSZEK
Me too! As far as the powerful message over 20 years after…
My mom used to play it over and over again after my father left her.
Thank you Mom…I know your the reason I found this song during this time in my life. I miss you every second.
Schitt's Creek brought me here!!! Love this classic song :)
Same lol
+Suzy H. me too lol
Yumyumyum! ^w^ Thanks for the food! ;D
Guess your mama never taught you not to feed trolls. >:\
Its a shame neither of your parents were into this kind of music so you could be introduced to it earlier. People my age blame the kids for the music today....as if you guys are the ones running the music industry and picking what new bands get pushed.
same
I thought this song was originally sending a bad message about hiding your feelings, but sometimes you should hide your feelings and show you are proud so you don't give others the satisfaction that they made you sad.
Yes, I heard that from Clint Eastwood. Dont give bullies their satisfaction. Give them a hard time as best as you can. Try not to show it. Sad to say that some people find themselves happy seeing their fellow in an awkward situation.
@@hildagalvez5184 Hate the message, love the song
My parents have taught me that hide my feelings inside my heart since i was a child.Once i cried in front of my parents and turned out they didn't have any reaction.(My mom said i am a faker for crying once)Then,i have been crying by myself these years.To those who feel lonely,love yourself and go your own ways no matter what.Your self worth no need anyone approve.You are smarter,stronger and braver than you think.
'Fly high and proud.And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all.' If they say you can't do it,prove it you could do.
Thank you
Bubb loves chimchim Well said.
Thank you!
Hi Bubb, well said.
Jesus!! Your mom sucks!! Good for you! Hope you’re happy, living happily and flourishing!!💕💕💕
This song means more to me than any other song in the world. I sobbed the first time I heard it and I still sob today when I hear. The writer captured it all!!
Heyeyeyeyeyey
Her voice has always been amazing
I had to sing this song in the school Talent Show when I was in Elementary school year 1985. I dont know why but when I hear it it brings tears to my eyes.
+Eric Markum That's beautiful! Thank you for sharing that! This song has a lot of meaning to me also! I was at an estate sale about 1.5 years ago, and they had a music system throughout the house, and the song came on, and people were looking at me weird because I knew the words to the song, and I was singing it. I couldn't believe I didn't see anyone else singing it. I was glad it came on.
Nostalgia is powerful, bruh
Who's still viewing this song up until now 2019?😊😊😇
you and me baby
And me.
Me😊
December 2019....
Me
Roland Schitt: Turns up loud.
Johnny Rose: Bangs on wall.
Devin Wilson 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😉
😂🤣😂
Yes!!!!!!
That was funny!
J:"Didn't you hear us last night.....banging away!?"
R:"Pal, whatever you and the misses do after hours, that's your business not mine."
J:"...on the walls, Roland, with our fists!"
R:"....and if you're into that kind of stuff..."
Just heard a replay of AT40 from 1979 and this song debuted at #37. It was beginning a run to the top 10 and would eventually assume a place in history as a timeless and powerful American pop song. It wasn't introduced in the show as anything special, because such songs were simply what charted then.
...and then I look at the songs in the charts today :(
WOW..Melissa Manchester OWN'S this song, She is definately the best..Thank You
This song is definitely my favorite Melissa Manchester recording 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎤🙋🏻
nice song
Norman Witt me too
Honourable mention for her cover of "If this Is Love" - the song whose lyrics I torn off my big brother's high school notebook...😊
This is how songs should be performed what a voice!!!
I still remember the first time I heard this song. Our junior high basketball team had just lost the sectional championship game by 2 points. The bus took us back to the school and we changed clothes and left for home with our parents. I got in the car and started crying and then this song came on the radio. I am 52 now and that game still bothers me, but I love this song!
im using this as an audition song for Grease. im auditioning for Rizzo and my old drama teacher told me this was the best song to use (after arguing with him on what song i wanted to do for ten minutes), but honestly this is probably the best song i could use
Teary eyed listening to this song. Remembering the frustrated love that I had. I was just a rebound. How sad. Why do people exist who just inflict you pain. Bless his heart so that he would now what really love is.
Because people are incapable of giving unconditional love.
I'm here after rewatching Schitt's Creek and this song is still stuck in my head lol so I needed the full version
I was an adolescent when this was all over the radio. The message to keep your sadness to yourself and "hide your feelings" seemed very romantic and noble. Looking back on it now, it's a terrible message.
It depends on the circumstances, sometimes it's a sound message. Trust me, I've raised an autistic boy for 21 years, single handedly, this message helped me keep my dignity and l kept it together: I am a college professor. Over the years, I've traveled the world (with him), learned latin dance, l took up piano, learned a new language, cultivated a garden, skating, baking , ... I have and am living for two. I couldn't be prostrate and feel sorry for myself. And I have cried a river also. 💕
Too many people internalise their troubles, and then find release in dangerous (or tragic) ways. You don't have to wear your heart on your sleeve, but there's no shame in opening up to someone trustworthy when the need arises. That said, I still love this song and Manchester's rendition of it.
what a marvelous song about some one's inner child....
I loved this Lady when she first came on the scene and I've loved her ever since.
I blasted this song out, stood on a chair and lip synched it (with hand movements) over the fence to my neighbours and their guests who were having a barbecue to which I wasn't invited. They were so stunned by shock and awkwardness that I was able to finish. I then dipped slowly out of sight, took my stereo and dining chair back into the kitchen and locked the door.
Tom Ripley you fucking hero
Tom Ripley I salute you sir or madam.
yikes. at least you gave them something to talk about for the rest of the cookout that you weren't invited to. I see why you weren't.
bravo!... I love this song too.. a lot♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
No, This. This is the greatest ever told.
This song is one of my favorites, sung so beautifully and it shows how everyone hurts but some people get the message not to let your pain show. This is a beautiful song and should lift u up, now that everyone hurts but some people hide it. If u r hurting tell someone and they will help you. Love doesn't have to hurt
We are always experiencing bumps in the road while traveling in our own personal life journey. To me, Don't Cry Out Loud is a song of hope and trying, not crying. Each time we try and fall, is one step closer to being true to ourselves and someday having it all.
Hair Disc beautiful.
🥺
My aunt used to sing this to my brother and I every time we would start crying. We used to get so mad but would try not to laugh at the same time 😂😂😂
Melissa Manchester can really HIT THOSE HIGH NOTES!
This song make me cry!!! Solo pretty
Love the message. Helps me, being introverted and depressed to have some representation for people who can’t cry out loud or talk about their feelings.
Melissa Manchester after all these years still sounds amazing in this song. The message is still timely and I miss great singers like her.
The scene from Schitt's Creek was way too funny 😂
I sang this song for my HS Cabaret, I got a lot of compliments 🎶🎤💜
don't cry out loud just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings fly high and proud
Love this song. The lyrics are so amazing.
Schitts Creek brought me here....the Mayor is something else Hahaha. Nice song btw....
Me too lol
the most beautiful rendition and version of this song
Another beautiful song! I love Melissa Manchester! What a voice she has. Great job as always. :) Thank you. :)
Stop Stop!...
We Can't Afford it...!😅
🤣🤣🤣
What a magnificent voice ¡¡¡.
Always loved this song but did actually just hear it again while binging SC!! S2-E11!!
It is always excellent to have good teachers, it is a way of hope
I have been jobless for more than a year. Nobody knew about it. I hid it so well. But inside I m crying. This sing is a true reflection of my current situation.
I love those old songs it reminds my moments when I'm young
This is when "people could actually sing"? What a voice! Melissa has!!!
Anyone else listen to this song after watching the Schitt's Creek series finale?
MELISSA.. YOUR VOCAL CORDS WILL ALWAYS TOUCH ME !!!!
“David can you turn that down, please?”
“As if you think that’s what I listen to!”
David stop yelling at your father!
I love this song !! It reminds me of so many fond memories of my bezt friend Jorie !!! I miss you !!! Fly high my friend !!!💜💜💜

Zoe’s extraordinary playlist brought me here

fly high and proud...kahit masakit...time cant heal d pain...i must live w it
I FEEL LIKE YOU AT TIMES BELLA FLORES THOSE LITTLE WOUNDS THAT NEVER QUITE HEEL
I used to love this song about 40 years ago when they played it over and over on the radio. Looking back today, I can see this as a really dysfunctional song. It's telling people to bottle up their feelings and to be emotionally constipated. Repression is not healthy.... 😅😅
I am glad I came across this song.
i feel like lady gaga would slay a cover of this song
don't cry out load.... just keep it inside...... learn how to hide your feelings..... wag nating ipakitang lage tayong talo....
What a beautiful song
Don't cry out loud……How much I love this song！♥♥♥
omg... how time has flown for us people in our fifties.. this is one of our songs.. sad... so much has happened and now I listening this song again.. ms manchester.. thanks for such a beautiful song.
Essa música faz parte da minha adolescência e fase adulta TBM muito obrigado por postar me remeteu à grandes momentos da minha vida
Remember when this song was first released. Man it ran up the charts. Also was used as a sound track for a movie but can’t remember which one. 😝
This song is so me....tears are NOT rolling down my face...
Zoey's extraordinary playlist
Fantastic voice!!
STUNNING. NO LIP SYNCING CRAP OR FILLERS.....CURRENT SINGERS TAKE NOTE!!
Love this
This was the first 45 record I ever had .. when my parents bought me my first suitcase record player .. they gave 2 records this one by Melissa Manchester and Olivia Newton John “a little more love”
i don't think we should keep it inside but some of us are were built that way...
Hey
@@joshuabeltran595 hi
'' Don't cry out loud...Just keep it inside...And learn how to hide your feelings." I am in solitary moment right now, and here I am playing this song... Seriously!
Silently. Trying to be invisibly humorous here though!
One of Peter Allen's great love songs
And we wonder how us children of the 70s have emotional issues. Haha 🎶 just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings.🎶 The mantra of most households. Time to express yourself!!❤
so beautiful words
LEGEND,,, 1980. Debut into the genuine world of the radio business field professionally,,, thanks Kev,,,today, digitally still actively learning,, take care and prayers for that personal MS problem,,,stay cool and happy. See you soon someday, 2020.
THIS is a song!!
Who used to hear this while sitting in a doctor or dentist office and think not this song again. Now as an adult I appreciate it and think it's awesome
one of fav songs of all time
Though the song was a huge hit, soon to become a cult classic, Carol Bayer isn’t exactly keen on the lyrics she penned about hiding feelings and putting on a brave face. In her autobiography, she explains : “For years after, when I would hear [‘Don’t Cry Out Loud’], I would question if that was how I really felt. I mean, didn’t I believe in sharing my feelings? Letting people know how I really feel?”
Well, Miss Bayer, thank you so much for those enlightening words. Many of us were wondering WHY…, weren’t we⁉️ 💜🎼💚
"Don't cry out loud"beautiful song...
+rutchie cadiz love i

Hi Everyone 👋 🤗
I used to sing this song when I was much younger 😁
I loved this song...I didn't fully understand the words..I loved the "Don't cry out loud just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings ..and if you should fall remember you almost made it " 😁❤
Now at 61 I thought about it...found myself singing it and decided to CZcams it and I love it!!! 😁🎶🎤🎵🎺🎙🙌🏾❤
Schitts Creek
it made me cry evrytime I hear this song...I can still recall those days when we're together..
Moria: “so now my eyes are usually puffy”
Johnny: “oh Moria their fine”
Moria: “these bags are like gypsy caravans packed to the brim”
Music: DONT CRY OUT LOUD!!!
Moria: omg this can’t be happening
love it soooooooo much
