Composition and lyrics

edit

"Stop Crying Your Heart Out" was written solely by Noel Gallagher, and was produced by Oasis. The song was recorded at Wheeler End Studios and Olympic Studios in England, and was mixed by Mark Stent. It was engineered by David Treahearn, Jan "Stan" Kybert and Paul "P-Dub" Walton. "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" is a motivational ballad which lasts for a duration of five minutes and five seconds.[2][3][4] Its melodic structure bears strong resemblances to "Slide Away", one of their songs from their debut studio album Definitely Maybe (1994), while its hook is reminiscent of the chorus of their 1996 song "Don't Look Back in Anger".[5] Liam Gallagher "croons" the lines "All of the stars/ Are fading away/ Just try not to worry/ You'll see them some day"[A] as an orchestra plays in the background.[6] "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" was composed in the key of B minor[7] using common time at 76 beats per minute.[8]

Critical reception

edit

Jason Fox for NME felt that "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" was Oasis's return to the "long lost humanism" of their 1996 single "Don't Look Back in Anger", because of Noel Gallagher's ability to lighten the mood of his audience when they are in need.[6] He further wrote that the listener is transported back to when "Don't Look Back in Anger" was released.[6] Simon Evans for musicOMH also compared the song to "Don't Look Back in Anger", writing that they have the same "defiance".[9] Stephen Thomas Erlewine for AllMusic was brief in his review of the song, simply writing that it is a "pretty good power ballad".[10] Evan Chakroff for Stylus Magazine wrote that the song was forgettable, adding that while writing his review of the album, he could not remember the melody of "Stop Crying Your Heart Out".[11] Victoria Segal for NME wrote a single review when it was released, and believed that it was difficult to take the song seriously.[2] Segal wrote that it is a "disappointing" song that when "looked at in the sober light of day, it's nothing but a lachrymose slur through the Big Noel Book Of Emotional Cliches and some truly shameless piano, but you just know that come closing time, it could make a breeze block cry. And there lies Oasis‘ eternal magic, damn them."[2] BBC reviewer Chris Long stated he preferred previous single "The Hindu Times" but "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" delivered on the "simple tunes, good strong riffs and textbook lyrics" in which Gallagher specialised.[12]

Music video

edit

The music video to "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" features the band performing the song in a large room intercut with footage of a young woman walking through a city. The video ends with the woman lighting a match and staring at it – in the uncensored version the tragic question in her eyes is clear as she has previously doused herself in petrol.[13] However, in the generally released edit,[14] the references to her apparently planned immolation are limited to the fact that she appears to be sitting with a small jerry can.

"Stop Crying Your Heart Out" was covered by English singer-songwriter Leona Lewis for her second studio album, Echo (2009). Originally written by Noel Gallagher of rock band Oasis, the song was produced by Lewis and Steve Robson. Lewis decided to cover the track as she is a fan of Oasis and rock bands in general, and she really liked the song's sentiment. The strings were performed by London Session Orchestra, who were organised and arranged by Will Malone. The musical structure of the song is different from the conventional style which is normally used, as the song's melody does not gain momentum until the end of the song instead of by the first chorus.

Her version of "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" garnered mostly negative reviews from music critics. Aside from comparisons to her previous singles "Bleeding Love" and her cover of Snow Patrol's "Run", reviewers felt as though she was too emotive and did not reflect the simplicity of the original. Although the arrangement of the song was criticised, Lewis's vocal performance was highly praised. The song peaked at number 29 on the UK Singles Chart, number 11 on the UK R&B Chart and number 31 on the Irish Singles Chart. Lewis has performed the song live on the BBC Radio 2 show Live Sessions with Ken Bruce, MTV Unplugged and on the sixth series finale of The X Factor.

Background and recording

edit
 
Lewis revealed that she decided to record a cover version of Oasis' (pictured) "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" as she is a fan of the band.

In an interview with Rick Edwards titled Under the Skin of Leona Lewis on 28 February 2010 for 4Music, Lewis revealed that she is a fan of Oasis and that "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" is a "great song" with a "beautiful sentiment behind it".[60] She continued to say herself and label boss Simon Cowell discussed the possibility of Lewis recording a discussed cover version. Lewis cited her reason for wishing to record her own version as being a "massive" fan of rock bands, and that she wanted to put a "different spin on it".[60] When asked the question of if she knew what Gallagher thought about her version, she replied saying that she had not spoken to them and that she did not know if they had listened to her version.[60] Originally written solely by Gallagher, Lewis's cover version was produced by Steve Robson. Both Robson and Lewis were the vocal producers on "Stop Crying Your Heart Out". It was engineered by Richard Flack, who was assisted in the process by vocal engineer Seth Waldmann. It was mixed by Jeremy Wheatly at Twenty-One Studios, located in London, England. A range of instrumentalists were bought in for the song; Karl Brazil played the drums, while Luke Potashnick provided guitar. John Garrison played the bass and Robson the piano. The London Session Orchestra performed the strings on "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" and it was arranged by Will Malone, while the choir was organised and arranged by Lawrence Johnson. Background vocals were performed by Sara-Jane Skeet and Beverly Skeet.[61]

Composition and critical reception

edit

"Stop Crying Your Heart Out" appears as the tenth track on Echo and lasts for a duration of four minutes and eight seconds.[62] However, it is not included on the North American version of the album.[63] The structure of the song is not conventional in its style, as most songs have gained momentum by the first chorus. However, Lewis's version of "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" remains down-tempo for the majority of the song. Andy Gill for The Independent noted that it does not possess the "rapidly acquiring melodramatic heft and momentum by the first refrain".[64]

Lewis's version of "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" garnered mostly negative reviews from music critics. Nick Levine for Digital Spy complimented her version, writing that it is "as satisfying as a sponge pudding on a chilly winter evening".[65] Michael Cragg for musicOMH wrote that "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" is another song to be given the "Leona treatment", and compared it to her cover of Snow Patrol's "Run", which she recorded for her inclusion on her debut studio album, Spirit.[66] He felt that her cover of Oasis's song appeared to serve as a "replacement" for covering Snow Patrol.[66] He continued to criticise the production and vocal performance of Lewis's version, writing "On this occasion the kitchen-sink style production – stirring strings, acoustic strums, and inevitable appearance of a choir – feels hollow, like being aurally attacked by a (admittedly very impressive) karaoke singer".[66] As part of his review of Echo, Matthew Cole for Slant Magazine wrote that too much of the album is dominated by "thoughtless" ballads, which he highlighted in the form of "Don't Let Me Down" and "Stop Crying Your Heart Out".[67] While he noted that Lewis gives a "technically unimpeachable" vocal performance, he wrote that it does not compensate for the "dull arrangement" and lack of emotion in her delivery.[67] Andy Gill for The Independent described her cover as "sententious".[64] Neil McCormick for The Telegraph was critical of her decision to cover the song, writing that she is too emotive for the "direct and simple" lyrics, and concluded by saying that her version does not compare to Gallagher's "raw-throated sincerity".[68]

In the DVD audio commentary for the Oasis retrospective, "Time Flies", Noel Gallagher commented on how he felt about Lewis' version, to which he said "I've only got one word, and it's not even a word, it's more like a sound affect...Ka-ching!"
