Don't Cry - Guns N' Roses - LYRICS
Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know
Don't you cry tonight
I still love you, baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight
Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
Tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had, baby
And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight
And please remember
That I never lied
Oh and please remember
How I felt inside now, honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now, sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now, baby
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry, cry, cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby, maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry, cry cry
Don't you cry
Tonight

I found myself divided about equally between awe at the skill displayed here and laughing uncontrollably at the sheer joy and silliness.

Sarah has such incredible range and texture to her voice, and Gianni can match her and even do high harmony above the top of her range... they are amazing musicians and wonderful human beings. I sometimes feel like Charles De Lint based a couple of his most beloved characters on them, and they are only sojourners in this world because we mundanes needed the blessing of their talent and wisdom in these troubled times. I sometimes feel you,Meran and Cerrin Kelledy.

[@brianrodgers5002]

This was unexpectedly great. As a big fan of GnR, I was expecting this to be heresy but was absolutely captivated by this cover. It was done so tastefully by an ultra talented group of musicians. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

It's crazy how pretty much every member in the band can masterfully play multiple instruments. Joel, who's normally the drummer, is playing the banjo in this video. Gianni, who's mostly on either the guitar or piano, is on the drums. And Tokyo.... well.... Tokyo seems to do just about anything and everything the band needs him to do. Crazy talent and a testament to just how much they really love their craft. 🔥❤️🙌🏼

That's actually not a banjo. It's a banjo body with a guitar fretboard and tuning. Traditional bluegrass banjo has 5 strings, and it's played in the Scruggs style. Joel is basically just playing a guitar that has a banjo resonance to it. Still talented, though.
