Thinking about whether Rex and Cody ever found each other or if they spent the rest of their lives wondering where their brother is. Wonder if they know the other is out there and loves them and knows it wasn’t their fault or if they’re mourning another one of millions
“Don't Cry” the saddest song made in the beginning of the band
youtube
This song has two versions that appear on the twin albums Use Your Illusion I and II, released simultaneously in 1991, with the only difference being the vocal tracks modified by Axl Rose. There is a third version that was a demo recording composed 6 years earlier, which according to Axl, was the first song written since the creation of the band as it still had the voices of his L.A. Guns bandmates, however, it was not published on their first album as they did not find the sound they wanted.
The music video starts a cinematic narrative, which continues with "November Rain" and ends with "Estranged," inspired by the dramatic short story "Without You" by musician, writer, and friend of Axl, Del James.
According to Axl, the song is about a girl who was first Izzy Stradlin's girlfriend and then his for 2 years, which caused problems for continuing with the band. Axl was very much in love with the girl to the extent of tattooing her face on his right arm, however, the girl was convinced that the relationship was not going to work and while Axl was sitting outside the nightclub "El Roxy," she decided to break up with him, to which Axl began to cry and the girl just kept repeating "Don't cry."
The next night Axl went to reconcile with his friend Stradlin and they made peace, and by combining a very sad lyric that Axl already had written, with the very sad guitar that Stradlin had composed, they managed to finish the song in just 5 minutes.
