Asia - Don't Cry [HQ]

Im a 19 year old Marine deployed to Afghanistan. My Sgt is like 38 and he got me hooked on the 80's. I wont listen to anything else now! I love it. Semper Fi.

RIP John Wetton Co-Founder of Asia (Singer, songwriter, Bassist). The songs: Only Time Will Tell, Don't Cry and The Smile Has Left Your Eyes from Asia are etched upon my heart. Never was nor will be music like this ever again. Thank you for the wonderful music John Wetton.

[@4wheelerDJ]

It's astounding how many great musicians we've lost in the past 14 months alone.

[@buckybadger10001]

i'm 41 and i grew up to this music ! nothing will ever compare :)

[@summerrn8073]

Rest In Peace John Wetton. I was just a teenager when this song came out but it was one of my favorites. You won't be forgotten

[@dannyrod2170]

Wooow.... Flashback to my fantastic year in America back in 1984 (exchange student from Denmark) ... Thanks great music.

[@Bsbcrue67]

I am so glad my teens were through the 80's. Some great music that is head and shoulders above most of the modern tripe we have to suffer.

[@genewebb8396]

very sad to hear of the passing of john wetton of ASIA.. another for rock and roll heaven.. great british band and sound.. one of their biggest hits. thanks for sharing ALL your talents for the world. RIP john

[@art.s9421]

I don't know why I love this video so much - just an amazing fragment of musical work by ASIA!!!

[@jeffpokorski1801]

This is Asia's best song!!! and hardly anyone knows it, or remembers it.

[@rrip1]

This is without a doubt Asia's best song. I listened to it over and over in 1983 I think it was. And somehow that cassette still works.

[@RobertCousland]

It's my favorite as well. In fact, I have always like the LP Alpha better than Asia. Both are great albums but there has always been something special about Alpha. I can listen to the whole LP from start to finish, over and over again.

[@reiver569]

Nearly one million people on KZbin do. :)

[@bullymom3071]

this has to be my favorite Asia song!!

[@99davinci]

i wanna buy this album again

[@chrisranz2714]

Asia don't cry I can't cry over all the instrumentals are superb and the vocals are right on point . what a terrific terrific sounding band i , f you agree give me a hoot and God bless the 80s have a good day.ll👍👍👍

[@jrock2264]

I remember begging my friend to turn in MTV the summer of 83 before I went to college, he had cable, we couldn't afford it. This was on constantly. Loved ASIA.

[@craftyisascraftydoes]

Aw man....rest in peace, Mr. Wetton. Thanks for all the lovely music, and peace to those grieving your loss.

[@AWalkOnDirt]

By far the best song. Back in the day they had such a big soaring sound. Loved to blast the volume!

[@matthewtoddadcock8151]

One of the greatest strongest nicest sounding iconic influential sounding songs I’ve ever heard in my life! #HOF!

[@popgun5247]

I saw Asia on their 25th anniversary tour. When they played this, neither Steve nor Geoff sang backup on the chorus. On the second chorus, I cupped my hands around my mouth and sang/shouted the high harmony part. I was in the 2nd row but wasn't sure if John Wetton could hear me, but by the end of the song everyone was singing it, and I could see John smiling. A nice memory I will always have as I say goodbye to John, a prog-rock legend. RIP.

[@jellos2504]

Videoclip reminds me the movie ISHTAR, one of the highest flop in the business... I like very much Wetton but does'nt take care very much of is body... I miss him.

[@RPMilitia]

The drums on this song are so epic. I remember back in the day with my Sony walkman magnifing the drums. Totally awesome

[@ericlewis217]

born in 82, so I remember this from about 86/87, my dad had recorded this off mtv onto an audio cassette and we'd play in the car I thought I was the greatest thing. wasn't until the 2000s that I remembered who sang it, forgot about the song for many years, asia has since become one of my fav bands from the 80s.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

This was Asia's second and final U.S. top 10 hit, reaching #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 9-17-83.

[@60mark61]

It reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 (pop) chart after it was released in Auguest 1983.

[@jamesvradenburg3712]

No decade EVER in music will be as great as the 80s!!!!! Please bring me a time machine so I can go back when it was so much better. Everything was better back then.

[@darrenc9180]

This video came out while i was on vacation as a teen and I watched it every hour I was near a TV in West Hartford CT, which was like a foreign land to a California kid...

[@muzkman5]

one of the best asia songs,ever to be released for video........

[@CrimsonTide923]

thanks for the great memories I remember listening to this song in in 1983 with my girlfriend Kathy and telling her I'll always remember her because of this song. Sadly she passed in 2005 and I'll never forget her.

[@WindwolfBlog]

+Randy Elliott Awooo !! Now she can run with the heavenly pack.

Holy crap! It's been FOREVER since I've heard this! I sang this song to my very first girlfriend! Jeez, the memories!

I can never look at Steve, Carl, and Geoff the same anymore! xD Awesome song!

This is the best music! I am 42 and still go back to this... When I like a new song I listen to it for a couple of weeks and quickly get sick of it.

[@DiverBand]

Huge asia fan here. here is the story behind the video. This was Asia's "B Movie Tribute" to Raiders of the Lost Ark. JJ Jackson said this when he premiered the video on Friday night late in July of 1983. It's just pure fun....sure it's a little hokey....but the band didn't take it too seriously. It's a great song and actually tells a story. Remember when videos used to do that! Enjoy!

[@darrylwillett8359]

A very under rated super group...love ASIA!

[@fr6313]

[@JedForge]

This was among the first videos I saw on MTV back when the first of my friends' parents got cable (my frugal family was two years behind...something I respect now, but complained about endlessly back then, but I digress). Loved the video and the song! Sad that MTV was worth watching for such a short part of its history. More videos of this quality and I'd have stayed.

[@squidhound00001]

Love love this song ! One of my all time favorites!!

[@SpurredDevilSC]

I had SOOO forgotten about this song. One of the forgotten treasures of the 80s!

[@dmcloren]

They are high on my list!!

[@Muffett53]

How did I miss this...oh yea...I was going thru a lot of crap back then. I found this song because the most wonderful man was here and knew this song was right for me...and us. He's THE one for me...no doubt. I love you Pete....xxx ooo

[@donaldlewis1728]

John Wetton stands among the best of musicians which we all lost this past year in 2016. Glenn Frey, David Bowie, Prince, Maurice White, B.B. King etc... I will always love the late 1970s and early 1980s music with which Wetton really contributed the explosion of a newer and even more explosive and incredible sound. Sounds of my youth which I will always remember!!! God Bless and play your talent for GOD, John Wetton!!!! Amen.

[@tomcat69fl]

This was great stuff. Summers watching MTV in the 80's was so much fun. I long for the days when things were simpler and everybody had fun. I am with you LeaperChad7.

It's a crime that this type of rock music had such a short shelf life...and yet hip hop has lasted over 30 years.

A true supergroup!!! Love Carl Palmer's drums on this song! I'm lucky to have grown up listening to this band. Thank you for posting!

[@meghanmacaluso5571]

I went to Asia's Tribute Concert and at the end they answered a bunch of questions. My question was "what was your favorite songs to write/record? for Geoff and Carl" because Steve Howe didn't show up. Geoff Downes said that he liked anything form the first album because that's when they were getting a feel for their style and were still learning about themselves as a band. When they got to Carl Palmer, he said he really didn't know, all that he could think of was being in the Jungle and using the drumsticks to hack at bushes.

[@ThoughtTraveler]

I remember MTV back in the day they played this over and over when Asia second album came out. I bought the cassette.

[@GodsgirlMalone]

ThoughtTraveler You're Right , Asia was a Great band back then 💖✌.

The summer of '83. This song played every 45 minutes on the local top 40 station, and I had no complaints.

It is a song that gives us the courage to live. After all the Asia's songs are wonderful.

The Album cover alone was worth the price of admission!

[@zagagrad]

Great song. What a great idea to get all these great musicians into one band.

[@ReverendBenzo]

I heard this on the radio yesterday while at work. I bet I hadn't heard this song in 25 years. Thanks local radio station!

[@antoniodeluca2251]

Grandi ASIA, bellissimo video, praticamente mette in guardia dalle donne.......occhi aperti e c......... stretto. Era la sigla finale di DISCORING, creata dal mitico GIANNI BONCOMPAGNI. Che ricordi, avevo 17 anni, che periodo splendido, purtroppo non torna più. Anche perché ora le canzoni ed i cantanti non trasmettono più niente.

Just played this for the first time in 20 yrs.....Still sounds so fresh

[@GratitudeHappinessBacon]

Omg I love this Asia song!!!! I was so sad when John passed.... then when Greg Lake passed I was even more torn. I have an old Asia concert on VCR (yes) where Greg Lake sang the songs. So good!! Timeless stuff here!

[@walkergillette3918]

music reached it's zenith in the 80's, it's been down hill since then

[@trashpigeon1164]

It's just different flavors for different time periods. I would argue that there's music that comes out today, which is widely agreed to be one of the worst time periods for music, that's waaay better than some 80's music. It just comes down to personal taste and knowledge of what's going on during a specific time period, I bet if you looked a bit more you could find some really good music that's coming out right now.

[@ANT96-x8d]

Back when music videos were a true art instead of a commercial product or corporate sellout.

[@phat80]

90's music was a way better...

[@ANT96-x8d]

90s had too much techno. At least 80s Synth and New Wave had a somewhat natural energy in comparison to today.

[@phat80]

@@ANT96-x8d Maybe for you it was techno years but for others it's plenty of good rock works, some of them are still the best ones, the rise of death, black, prog metal, sympho metal in late 90s, the time of true alternative bands. It was time when many music albums were good from start to finish where bad songs just didn't exist. I think a plenty of greatest songs of all time were made exactly in 90s. Many new styles ans substyles emerged then too. More then other decades.

[@jeffreygrove]

Even though I'm (just barely) old enough to remember the brief window where Asia were huge, it still blows my mind that these guys were MTV stars. Also, Carl Palmer definitely gets the acting, uh, "award" for this one...

[@englishsunset]

God, for so many reason's I miss the 80's!

[@DarleneAshleyCheleze]

a song that was a part of my first romance and my freshman summer in school. those wer sure the divine days.

[@burlingtonbill1]

Asia - at the pinnacle of 80's "power-pop" !!

[@CrissyLynnB]

Yes! The 80's.....great music, big hair, power ballads, talking on the phone all night on land lines that had a cord 15ft long, the 'M' in MTV actually meant music (believe it or not, music videos 24/7, and it was AWESOME!). Blessed to have been an 80's kid!

[@Jacques_S]

I just found out that the lead singer passed in 2017. That is so sad. I really liked this group when I was young in the 80's. It was in a time when the music was actually worth listening to, unlike today. You could hear the music and watch a great video. It just seems that so many of these bands are losing members. That just makes me feel really sad and even more nostalgic. RIP. :(

[@dollsway8816]

JAM S I AGREE IT MAKES ME A BIT SADDEN!!

[@brucewatson8750]

And just like that I'm back in the 7th grade hearing this for the first time. Went out and spent grass cutting money on the record album. Then the cassette and a few years later on the CD.

[@joepawlosky7911]

I've always been an "Original" Asia fan. (Not the group from the 90's upto 2000) This video was mirrored by the 1st Indiana Jones movie. The song's simple story line and yet effective camera angles always gave me the inspiration to go into video production, which I have finally done. Not all video(s) look this good or bad, however you see it, but good story telling is done with imagery that you can relate to in any way. Asia put their cool, yet mysterious symbols, in the forefront in this video. When I watch Indiana Jones/Raiders of the Lost Ark, I do think of this video, which is what I think ASIA intended.

These guys caught lightning in a bottle and got as far as they did for the bands they were in before Asia. That said this was a good song and made top 10 in summer 1983 but the first album from them is the one to get.
