I wrote this song shortly after watching the film, Notting Hill, with Julia Roberts. At the same time, I was seeing a woman in a relationship that I knew damn well would never work out. She was living with a different guy and I knew that she would never leave him. Then I watched Notting Hill. That’s the message behind this song. You want so much your life to be like the movies, but it never is.<\/p>\n

Musically speaking, it is one of my more mature songs. The chord progression is unique, and not a knock off from a popular strong. Plus the words still hit home today. Then my friend, Tom Garber, put together the score in a very pleasant way.<\/p>\n\nhttps:\/\/chengrob.com\/songs\/cry.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
