James Hoare about the Track:
"Don't cry no tears was one of the last songs written for the record. I had the chord sequence knocking around for awhile then one day I realised what the song was about and wrote the lyrics down quickly. The lyrics are partly self referential and in part a message to someone else. My friend Toby Kidd played guitar on the track and helped with the arrangement.
I used a guiro effect on a late 70's Roland drum machine and built the song around that. The initial recording was done over the space of a couple of hours with the end section done later on, layering up organs and guitars."
