The song has a forlorn feeling...sad and beautiful, alone...late at night with the windows open and someone in another building playing this song...the chords touching every nerve...then falling into a deep sleep. NICE.
When my mom died of cancer, I felt like the world around me had shattered. The days that followed were a blur of grief and confusion, with a pain so deep it felt impossible to describe. I was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions: anger, sadness, disbelief, and an emptiness I couldn't shake. In the midst of this emotional storm, I found a strange comfort in an unexpected place: the song “Cry” by Cigarettes After Sex. I remember the first time I heard it after she passed. The soft, melancholic melody filled the room, echoing my own sadness. The lyrics spoke of loss and longing in a way that resonated with the deep ache I felt inside. “Cry” became my companion in the quiet, lonely hours when the weight of my grief felt too much to bear. It was like the song understood my pain, capturing the complexity of my feelings in a way that I couldn't put into words. Listening to it was like opening a valve to release some of the pressure building up inside me. Each time I heard those opening notes, I felt a strange sense of relief, like I had permission to feel everything I needed to feel. The music allowed me to let go, to cry without holding back, and to face the depths of my sadness. It was like the song knew exactly how I felt - that longing for something lost, the way grief feels like it's pulling you under, but also a strange sense of peace in knowing that you’re not alone in that feeling. “Cry” became a sort of ritual for me. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or too numb to feel anything at all, I would put on my headphones, close my eyes, and let the music wash over me. The gentle, haunting voice and simple, repetitive chords felt like a lullaby, soothing the rawness of my grief. The song’s simplicity gave space to my emotions, allowing them to surface and breathe. It was like finding a friend who didn’t need words to understand what I was going through. The song helped me cope, not by making the pain go away, but by allowing me to fully experience it. It helped me realize that it was okay to feel broken, to feel lost, and to cry. I began to understand that grieving isn't something that has a set timeline or a right way to do it. The song gave me the space to process my emotions on my terms, to feel sadness and longing without judgment or expectation. Over time, “Cry” became more than just a song to me; it became a way to connect with my mom. When I listened to it, I thought of her, of the moments we shared, and of the person she was. It was painful, yes, but it was also comforting. It was a way to keep her close, to remember her, and to honor my feelings in a world that often seemed too quick to move on. Some days, listening to the song brought tears, and other days, it brought a sense of calm. It reminded me that it's okay to feel whatever I’m feeling, to let the tears flow, and to allow myself to cry. In a way, the song taught me that grief is not something to be fixed or solved, but something to be experienced, lived through, and felt deeply. “Cry” by Cigarettes After Sex helped me find my way through the darkest days of my loss. It gave me permission to grieve in my own way, to let the music hold the pieces of my broken heart together. Through it, I learned that coping with loss is not about forgetting or moving on; it’s about finding ways to live with it, to feel it, and to hold on to the memories that keep our loved ones alive in our hearts.

This song airs out all the inner battles everyone goes through but doesn't share with anyone...this is what experiencing being a human being is all about
I almost jumped out of my seat after seeing them on kimmel. I am so happy they are getting even more recognized, but at the same time low key feeling a selfish possessiveness like you're supposed to be my personal happy place 😅😂❤ Love them
It's making you cry every time You give your love to me this way Saying you'd wait for me to stay I know it hurts you But I need to tell you something My heart just can't be faithful for long I swear I'll only make you cry Maybe I'd change for you someday But I can't help the way I feel Wish I was good, wish that I could Give you my love now But I need to tell you something My heart just can't be faithful for long I swear I'll only make you cry I need to tell you something My heart just can't be faithful for long I swear I'll only make you cry
So simple, drummer's kit, basslines, and guitar...his voice and lyrics tread a magical path to feelings, love and imagination... And then, the sadness that every relationship has implied on itself... Love you so much, hope you one day come to Argentina...! Love you CAS!😍
I have a friend that is a Pastor in Argentina. He was VERY upset that I suggested you to his child.. Expaining was a problem, the band name was all he needed.
Pretty fitting guitar for this guy. He doesn't look like he's ever lifted a paper weight never mind a Les Paul. The most effort he put in during this performance was to saunter downstage to nod at the audience - who, surprisingly, hadn't fallen asleep.
When you listen to this band for the first time it really changes you and it sucks because i relate specifically with an ex lover of mine with how rocky our relationship was and i cried while listening to this song thinking of them and just having that feeling of missing them a lot.
I don’t know I can’t explain the feeling. That sad broken forlorn feeling like something or someone from the past comes to haunt you and break your heart again. Or just reminiscing old days
Going to see them live in sept, so excited!!!! Haven’t heard their new X album much but I’ve been trying to memorize them since my gf surprised me with their tickets. SO EXCITEDDDD I LOVE THEIR MUSIC
I’m so happy that everyone is finding about this band. I found them on here years ago, Fire Fighter is still my number one song. Saw them for $20 in L.A. and now my niece is in love with them. She’s 19 ❤❤❤
It's making you cry every time you give your love to me this way Saying you'd wait for me to stay, I know it hurts you, But I need to tell you something My heart just can't be faithful for long I swear I'll only make you cry Maybe I'd change for you someday, but I can't help the way I feel Wish I was good, wish that I could give you my love now...

You don't find this kind of music. It finds you, when you need it.
Real shii.
So true, after breakups 😢
Man your words collapsed me !!! This band is my Life
Why is this accurate stop
that is so real bro
greg's voice is so majestic, calm and pure. i can listen to it everyday
Never seen them live before. Did not expect that voice to come out of that face💀❤
That's kinda harsh 😢
@@skydragon8538 how so?
The voice and face doesn’t match.. it’s not a bad thing.. song is one of my fav
They always talk about his appearance as if he isn’t attractive sounds like a harsh judgement to me, calm down wolf.
@@JelissaSkinnerhe’s a very attractive man. I just always pictured that voice belonging to a very different man.
The song has a forlorn feeling...sad and beautiful, alone...late at night with the windows open and someone in another building playing this song...the chords touching every nerve...then falling into a deep sleep. NICE.
Almost as if the song is called cry...
Like a busy night street, with warm lighting and pouring rain.
❤❤❤
Wow me too first time I heard this song awesome
I thought this band was suppose to be our little secret 😔
The first band where I've got that "but I liked them first" feeling haha. Not even gonna say the year because that will age me but..I get you
@@BackJack450 Yup, same here. No more our pretty little secret 😭
Me too😭
these guys have over 25 million monthly listeners

my condolences bro
Uf, ahora quien me hacen llorar de emoción sois tú y tus sentidas palabras. Espero que todo te vaya bien, siento lo ocurrido, un abrazo desde España.
Go listen to Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
I share the same sentiments with you. Virtual hugs for you.
They're not being shot in black & white!?! Rare. Great live band
Saw them last night for first time and it was amazing. They sound even better live!!
FUN FACT: Cigarettes After Sex's music has been featured in popular TV shows like "The Handmaid's Tale" and "The Sinner."
I love the music from The Sinner!
Can you tell us which episode to be exact please?
Killing Eve, too

@@utah710 very edgy stuff
i JUST started getting into this band about a month ago and i’m obsessed with their discography
So am I, and found about them about the same time
Me too
Went to the concert yesterday in Boston September 5 and it’s the most beautiful live music… I have ever witnessed 🙃
This song airs out all the inner battles everyone goes through but doesn't share with anyone...this is what experiencing being a human being is all about
drummer was holding back 100% of his cosmic powers
Haha Greg loves the Doors and their cosmic solos
Seriously, Cigarettes After Sex is great. Good Feeling as a dude. Savages!
Hey boys, we are bad to the bone 🦴
I almost jumped out of my seat after seeing them on kimmel. I am so happy they are getting even more recognized, but at the same time low key feeling a selfish possessiveness like you're supposed to be my personal happy place 😅😂❤ Love them
It's making you cry every time
You give your love to me this way
Saying you'd wait for me to stay
I know it hurts you
But I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry
Maybe I'd change for you someday
But I can't help the way I feel
Wish I was good, wish that I could
Give you my love now
But I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry
I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry
This guy makes feel good music you can sit under the stars and just vibe to. I love him 🫶🏻
It's been more than 1 year thinking cigarettes after sex is a woman. Today I figured out and shocked that it's a man 🙂💔
Same here awesome 👌
how do y'all relax with this song???
found this song at my lowest times and this song made me feel like I'm not alone..the lyrics is just..
Literally same bro 😭
Wow. I’ve never heard of them before, but this is awesome.
Almost 30 years old, I've never had a favorite band in my life, but now I do.❤️
My favorite band, always touch the soft part of my heart
I hope they publish all their songs from this live..
There's no one on this planet that is lucky enough to have a singer like Gregory Gonzalez except CIGARETTES AFTER SEX.
Only hopeless romantics who have lost love and never regained it back can really understand and appreciate this type of music.
One of the most favorite groups especially…. When my spouse and I are hanging out late nights.
Absolutely gorgeous song. So relaxing and beautiful.
So simple, drummer's kit, basslines, and guitar...his voice and lyrics tread a magical path to feelings, love and imagination...
And then, the sadness that every relationship has implied on itself...
Love you so much, hope you one day come to Argentina...!
Love you CAS!😍
They do El Paso Texas proud ...I am from El Paso and I must say, they make the star on our mountain shine bright
They from El Paso?
@@hectorcardenas2171yes !
Is it just me or does anyone else feels a little bit jealous and possessive over CAS and wanted to keep it as a secret?
Its not just you, me too
The band has 29 million monthly listeners they aren’t exactly a small local band bruh
When bitter reality happen... i always play this song😢
no fancy clothes , low key AF & vocal 100000/100000
People who've never listened to CAS before go and listen to Apocalypse. it's by the same band.
K, Sweet, heavenly and affection
My 19 year old son end up loving this band because I listened in our car. Now he is in Military Basic Training and I missing him so much.
2 more months you got this 🫶🏻
Got hooked on these guys during Handsmaid Tale days and been a huge fan since.
I have a friend that is a Pastor in Argentina. He was VERY upset that I suggested you to his child.. Expaining was a problem, the band name was all he needed.
A little nostalgic but happy that they’re no longer an “our little secret” type of band
Dude is playing a Parker Fly guitar, he's a real one
He is Hot ❤
Pretty fitting guitar for this guy. He doesn't look like he's ever lifted a paper weight never mind a Les Paul. The most effort he put in during this performance was to saunter downstage to nod at the audience - who, surprisingly, hadn't fallen asleep.
Oh shut up.
@@SPCEMN3not everything is rock n roll, my friend, just like their music is not for everyone

bro i love them sm they helped me thru so many times
Very "Twin Peaks" atmospheric,mystical and artistic
just listening to them with no phones just you and feeling the music
I don’t know I can’t explain the feeling. That sad broken forlorn feeling like something or someone from

Crazy that this album has been out for a few years and it still hits in 2024! 🖤🎉
Omg!!!! I keep on downloading their song!!!!!! Listening to their music healed me!!!!!
This song is everything.
Nice to see ACTUAL musicians playing instruments (and not some lip-synching autotuned GARBAGE). Solid song 👌 👍 👏
100%
They are awesome! 🌟
This makes me feel something
Love your unique style, never change!

Going to see them live in sept, so excited!!!! Haven’t heard their new X album much but I’ve been trying to memorize them since my gf surprised me with their tickets. SO EXCITEDDDD I LOVE THEIR MUSIC
Finding these type of comfort songs just feel different 😕
We were there!- I see us Leelee-- at 2:45 - 2:46 on the left {back} -- SO AMAZING 🤩😜✌
play in the midnight setting would be more great and magical listening to thissss
His voice, soothes what I feel, but at the same time, it makes me sad.
This band is phenomenal. So much FEELINGS!!!
I’m so happy that everyone is finding about this band. I found them on here years ago, Fire Fighter is still my number one song. Saw them for $20 in L.A. and now my niece is in love with them. She’s 19 ❤❤❤
to smile is an exercise in resilience, not just an emotional reaction.
I love their music so much !!
Seen them live at Madison Square Garden amazing
BEST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE GOING THERE THANK YOU JIMMY KIMMEL!!
BRING BACK THE SYNTH GUY , so he can make you fall in love with that haunting sound with music and voice 😭
Wow, great song. They sound great 🎉
finally my fave song has a live cover
To think the motivation behind the band was Sade’s “By Your Side” that the singer wanted to model a variation from.
I just heard one of their songs for the first time two months ago and I loved it so much I had to look them up.,
This song always finds me when I think about her
He looks so good 😍😍
я думал что поет женщина 😅, но я ни чуть не расстроился узнав что это мужчина, потому что песня гениальная.
Anch'io......Mai pensavo fosse uomo......😂😂😂....pero' bellissima canzone💖🤗🤗
This makes me so emotional. I always heard this in hard times so every time this song plays I’m tearing up. I’m exited to hear u on Sunday in Köln 💖
This is SO GOOD
Demi apapun dari dulu gua selalu mengira klo vokalisnya cewek, thats, how man?
Beautiful song ever!
Can’t wait to see you guys perform in India !!! 🫶🏻
You got the tickeys?
Im seeing them in NYC😭
I love this group! Been a fan for a few years.
He sounds amazing irl, just like the recording
Never heard of this band until yesterday, took awhile but I found your little secret and it was a good one
Beautiful
Austin gets a lot of fame, but dang, El Paso, TX got real hitmakers.… these guys, r&B star Khalid, and the group, Part Time.
saw them last week, he sounds even better live 🙌🏼
cant wait to see y’all perform againn!
I cannot wait to see them live!!!!! Love love love them !!! ❤
Thank God for this amazing band!! It feels like heaven ✨️
Great song, amazing vocals and fantastic band ! ❤
Lo mejor de todo cuando no tienes alguien s tu lado está música te hace sentir acompañado

These are my soothing songs while i am camping or in rain or riding motorcycle !
It's making you cry every time you give your love to me this way
Saying you'd wait for me to stay, I know it hurts you,
But I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry
Maybe I'd change for you someday, but I can't help the way I feel
Wish I was good, wish that I could give you my love now...
But I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry
I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
