I think this song could be a creditable single. It does describe emotions I'll admit I've never had but it is very powerful and emotional and the vocals are very good. I don't like the slightly 'whiney' backing vocals at times, but thats not a big issue. It sounded great when I heard it on the radio. There are better Meat song though so 7/10.

The song could be a credible single if it was recorded by someone like Faith Hill, but the song for me doesn't really suit Meat at all.

Pud :twisted:

Didn't I read somewhere that is HAS been recorded by Faith Hill?

Or am I getting confuzzled again... :confused:

A few people have linked 'Cry Over Me' to the song 'Cry' that Faith Hill sang but I don't see it myself.

Pud :twisted:

for once i listened to it and didn't automatically think a crap diane warren song. I've listened to it enough to know that parts of it are good, but i think meat's vocals at the end just don't suit the song.

6 out of 10,

and yes you're right i was wrong was a poor effort on I couldn't have said it better, it takes away from a good album.

This is the only track on the album that I can honestly say I think will grow on me given time. I love Meat's emotional delivery of the lyrics. 6/10

I really love this song!!
Perfect voice, big emotions...
I can totally free my mind and my normal heartbeat turns into something special by hearing that song !

10/10

Very powerful song but quite boring at the same time.

7.5/10

not my fave but i like it 7/10
didn't actually 'get it' until Meat said it was an angry song then i listened to it again and it clicked.

seperate note:i actually love not a dry eye and you're right i was wrong.And some of meat's more simple songs are better than other complex ones imo

Terrible song. One of Meat's worst. Good production though.

I don't like this one. I skip over it, just like I do with If God Could Talk. This song doesn't belong here, in my opinion.

:up:

4/10

TMIL record has some interesting tracks on the record. Some very great sounding. Others Meatiocre at the least. The production was really trying to be something it wasn't in the first place.

'Cry Over Me' as a song itself is very safe with its extra layers and mediocre lyrics at best. With them lyrics its really impossible to have an amazing melody. Everyone played well, and Meat delivered but the song fell short. For the obvious reason it being a Diane Warren song penned to a BOOH title.

Lyrically, the song doesn't say much. It sounds like the character cannot let go of what he once had.

3/5
or 6/10 ;)

TMIL? you mean BAT OUT OF HELL 3 ; THE MONSTER IS LOOSE;)

its a bat album!!!!! great vocals on cry over me [ best in years ]

89 . cry over me
 

I love this song from bat out of hell 3 its one of my fravorites and i love meat loaf video of cry over me i just think meat loaf has dune a fantastic job

If it was on CHSIB or WTTN then I would think it to be an average song. It's totally out of place on Bat 3 though and that makes it a shite song.

Even if it was on WTTN or CHSIB it would be a shite song, in fact even if it was on BBIS or MATLAF it would be a shite song.

so what your saying is.... a shite song, is a shite song, and a great song, is a great song... it doesn't matter which album it's on, as that wont affect the quality of the song, its down to individuals personal enjoyment of the song, as to if its a good song or bad song.. (in their opinion) ish

So if Testify had been on Bat 2 would it still be a great song?

good question, it would still be the same song at the same standard, but it would be judged differently...

ok, fair point.. i'll give you that one..

That is correct for the most part.

It would be a great song on the wrong album, but still a great song.

i just imagined 1992 meat voice on testify .....

The song is perfect but that just makes it 10 times better .....

COM is an ok song, but not the best choice for a single. Not too keen on IACBTMN either. "Blind As a Bat", "What About Love", and "Alive" are much more interesting songs.

I like Meat's interpretation of this song, a mix of anger and despair. He's not only singing but also living his song. That enables him to create true emotion and that matters to me.

9/10
