This day in music history.

May 21, 1995, Hootie & the Blowfish hit number 1 on the album charts with their debut LP, "Cracked Rear View". The album went on to sell over 15 million copies and stayed at number 1 for four weeks. The song "Let Her Cry" Would win the band its first Grammy.
Let her cry by Hootie & The Blowfish
She sits alone by a lamppost
Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
She says dads the one I love the most
But stipes not far behind
She never lets me in
Only tell me where's shes been
When shes had too much to drink
I say that I don't care I just run my hands
Through her dark hair and then I pray to god
You gotta help me fly away
And just...Let her cry...
if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...
if it eases all her pain
Let her go...
let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...
let her be.
This morning I woke up alone
Found a note standin by the phone
Saying maybe, maybe Ill be back some day
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didn't know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for
Myself.
Let her cry...
if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...
if it eases all her pain
Let her go...
let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...
Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I just
Could not believe
She was the same girl
I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to
Get high
I sat down on my couch
And cried
Yelling oh mama please
Help me
Wont you hold my hand.
And
Let her cry...
