Don't Cry Out Loud (Lyrics) - MELISSA MANCHESTER 

Johnny: "David, turn the music down!" David: "As if I'd listen to this!"

2:24 POV: You’re trying to sleep in room 7 of the Rosebud Motel

I always cry when I hear this song … quietly of course . I swear it was written for me 😭

The symbolisms used in the song are really powerful. It's how we always put on a happy face whenever we miss opportunities in life. And although we try so hard, we sometimes get disappointed or failed still. It means we have to put on a brave face in life. After all life is a stage and we are all actors in it.

How many of us identify with these lyrics?? So much truth in them. Thank you Melissa for sharing your writing gifts, your voice and your presentation. We are truly blessed. You brought us joy and truth!!

It's originally by an Australian artist called Peter Allan who wrote it about his mother after his father shot himself with a gun and she had to keep it together for the sake of Peter and his sisters. The song is written from Peter's view on how his mother kept herself strong for them.

CRY AS LOUD AS U NEED TOO! KEEPING YOUR FEELINGS BOTTLED UP ISNT NOT GOOD. BEING STRONG DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T BE HUMAN!

My mom loved this song. She would sing along to it, when I was young. I learned so much from her messages. Miss you mom ❤

Schitt's Creek brought me here!!! Love this classic song :)

Melissa Manchester -- one of the truly great voices.

The "Don't Cry Out Loud" is about not feeling sorry for yourself and pushing on through the tough parts of life.

This song means more to me than any other song in the world. I sobbed the first time I heard it and I still sob today when I hear. The writer captured it all!!

Thank you Mom…I know your the reason I found this song during this time in my life. I miss you every second.

Roland Schitt: Turns up loud. Johnny Rose: Bangs on wall.

I thought this song was originally sending a bad message about hiding your feelings, but sometimes you should hide your feelings and show you are proud so you don't give others the satisfaction that they made you sad.

My parents have taught me that hide my feelings inside my heart since i was a child.Once i cried in front of my parents and turned out they didn't have any reaction.(My mom said i am a faker for crying once)Then,i have been crying by myself these years.To those who feel lonely,love yourself and go your own ways no matter what.Your self worth no need anyone approve.You are smarter,stronger and braver than you think. 'Fly high and proud.And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all.' If they say you can't do it,prove it you could do.

The scene from Schitt's Creek was way too funny 😂

I'm here after rewatching Schitt's Creek and this song is still stuck in my head lol so I needed the full version

My aunt used to sing this to my brother and I every time we would start crying. We used to get so mad but would try not to laugh at the same time 😂😂😂

Who's still viewing this song up until now 2019?😊😊😇

I love this type of music, reminds me of the good ole times in the 70s. Especially her songs "don't cry out loud: alnd "midnight blues"

Stop Stop!... We Can't Afford it...!😅

Oh man, what a song what a singer, what a voice. I ❤️ Melissa M.

I had to sing this song in the school Talent Show when I was in Elementary school year 1985. I dont know why but when I hear it it brings tears to my eyes.

I remember this song when I was little. My mom would sing it it beautifully. Forgot all about it until one day a friend of mine was singing it to me. Powerful message some 30 years later.

I blasted this song out, stood on a chair and lip synched it (with hand movements) over the fence to my neighbours and their guests who were having a barbecue to which I wasn't invited. They were so stunned by shock and awkwardness that I was able to finish. I then dipped slowly out of sight, took my stereo and dining chair back into the kitchen and locked the door.

“David can you turn that down, please?” “As if you think that’s what I listen to!”

Her voice has always been amazing

Anyone else listen to this song after watching the Schitt's Creek series finale?

I still remember the first time I heard this song. Our junior high basketball team had just lost the sectional championship game by 2 points. The bus took us back to the school and we changed clothes and left for home with our parents. I got in the car and started crying and then this song came on the radio. I am 52 now and that game still bothers me, but I love this song!

Just heard a replay of AT40 from 1979 and this song debuted at #37. It was beginning a run to the top 10 and would eventually assume a place in history as a timeless and powerful American pop song. It wasn't introduced in the show as anything special, because such songs were simply what charted then. ...and then I look at the songs in the charts today :(

This is how songs should be performed what a voice!!!

Teary eyed listening to this song. Remembering the frustrated love that I had. I was just a rebound. How sad. Why do people exist who just inflict you pain. Bless his heart so that he would now what really love is.

I sang this song for my HS Cabaret, I got a lot of compliments 🎶🎤💜

Zoe’s extraordinary playlist brought me here

Always loved this song but did actually just hear it again while binging SC!! S2-E11!!

This song is definitely my favorite Melissa Manchester recording 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎤🙋🏻

Schitts Creek brought me here....the Mayor is something else Hahaha. Nice song btw....

Melissa Manchester after all these years still sounds amazing in this song. The message is still timely and I miss great singers like her.

WOW..Melissa Manchester OWN'S this song, She is definately the best..Thank You

im using this as an audition song for Grease. im auditioning for Rizzo and my old drama teacher told me this was the best song to use (after arguing with him on what song i wanted to do for ten minutes), but honestly this is probably the best song i could use

Who's here because they heard this song on schitts creek ? Bc i totally am lol and I love it

Zoey's extraordinary playlist

love it soooooooo much

the most beautiful rendition and version of this song

Love this song. The lyrics are so amazing.

This is when "people could actually sing"? What a voice! Melissa has!!!

Love the message. Helps me, being introverted and depressed to have some representation for people who can’t cry out loud or talk about their feelings.

Melissa Manchester can really HIT THOSE HIGH NOTES!

I loved this Lady when she first came on the scene and I've loved her ever since.

That is so great and so touching .

I am here bcoz Roland was playing this in the Motel next door when I was sleeping

what a marvelous song about some one's inner child....

Love this

Put into yourself that love....is pain and happines.....like a wheel .....at first smooth and then the wave is there....

I have been jobless for more than a year. Nobody knew about it. I hid it so well. But inside I m crying. This sing is a true reflection of my current situation.

This is what i softly sing to myself as i walk away from McDonalds after they tell me "Sorry sir breakfast is not being served anymore"

This song is one of my favorites, sung so beautifully and it shows how everyone hurts but some people get the message not to let your pain show. This is a beautiful song and should lift u up, now that everyone hurts but some people hide it. If u r hurting tell someone and they will help you. Love doesn't have to hurt

Beautiful Song Love Melissa

STUNNING. NO LIP SYNCING CRAP OR FILLERS.....CURRENT SINGERS TAKE NOTE!!

It is always excellent to have good teachers, it is a way of hope

Another beautiful song! I love Melissa Manchester! What a voice she has. Great job as always. :) Thank you. :)

I dedicate this song to my dog Tommy he is a 20 year weenie dog who has gotten tired and for some reason this song makes me think about all those times we had together. I love you boy

I love this song !! It reminds me of so many fond memories of my bezt friend Jorie !!! I miss you !!! Fly high my friend !!!💜💜💜

I love those old songs it reminds my moments when I'm young

I was an adolescent when this was all over the radio. The message to keep your sadness to yourself and "hide your feelings" seemed very romantic and noble. Looking back on it now, it's a terrible message.

Who used to hear this while sitting in a doctor or dentist office and think not this song again. Now as an adult I appreciate it and think it's awesome

Just an astonishingly good song, Carole Bayer Sager just hit it out of the park with this.

Fantastic voice!!

We are always experiencing bumps in the road while traveling in our own personal life journey. To me, Don't Cry Out Loud is a song of hope and trying, not crying. Each time we try and fall, is one step closer to being true to ourselves and someday having it all.

And we wonder how us children of the 70s have emotional issues. Haha 🎶 just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings.🎶 The mantra of most households. Time to express yourself!!❤

What a beautiful song

I am glad I came across this song.

This song is so me....tears are NOT rolling down my face...

MELISSA.. YOUR VOCAL CORDS WILL ALWAYS TOUCH ME !!!!

I heard the song but did not know Melissa sung it. If you lose a loved one, it is hard to not cry out loud. God understands such feelings. Good enough.

"I know a lot about her, cause you seeeee..." sounds a whole LOT like "There's a choice we're making. We're saving our own lives..."

What a magnificent voice ¡¡¡.

This was the first 45 record I ever had .. when my parents bought me my first suitcase record player .. they gave 2 records this one by Melissa Manchester and Olivia Newton John “a little more love”

Remember when this song was first released. Man it ran up the charts. Also was used as a sound track for a movie but can’t remember which one. 😝

Don't cry out loud……How much I love this song！♥♥♥

so beautiful words

I'm here because this is a GREAT song by Peter Allen and Lyricist Carole Bayer Sager.
