Blue Zoo - Cry Boy Cry
Review by Danielle Nicole
Blue Zoo's album Cry Boy Cry is a masterful work of art that showcases the band's unique sound and style. The album is filled with catchy melodies, intricate guitar work, and powerful vocals that draw the listener in from the first note. From the upbeat and energetic "John's Lost" to the hauntingly beautiful "Love Moves in Strange Ways," every track on this album is a standout. The band's ability to blend different genres, such as new wave, pop, and rock, into their music is impressive and creates a sound that is truly their own. The lyrics are heartfelt and relatable, touching on themes such as love, loss, and the struggles of everyday life. Cry Boy Cry is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates great music and wants to experience the unique sound of Blue Zoo.

It was a great song then. I remember dancing to it up my local indie/alternative night club in my overcoat - supercool then and supercool now! As is the song! Still got and wear the coat. It's the same but my looks have faded! Break on thro!

I booked these in 1981 (?) when I was Ents officer for the students union at Braintree College.

what a voice!

I loved this song so much when I was 12. I thought he had the best voice. I had it on single and taped it on one side of a C 60 tape from our 3 in 1 stereo, back to back so I didn’t have to rewind and used to play it on loop walking around our neighbourhood

The days that I was a young lad

A classic from the Early 1980s ?

I thought I'd imagined this song from my childhood, but no, it's here with a video that makes me want to avoid going to bed. It's not half bad the song, I only remembered the Cry Boy Cry bit.

Would like to hear more of these boys. History missed them I feel. Lots of potential.

Was mad over this at the time, funny how we hear the words and can sing along then as adults begin to question what was it really even about haha, not that it mattered then to me or even now, just curiosity lol

Just learned that Tim Friese-Greene (Talk Talk) was the producer of this song.

Great song but who would get out of bed by jumping over the highest part. Only in the 1980's.
