"Crying in the Rain" is a song by the English hard rock band Whitesnake.
The original version of "Crying in the Rain" is very blues-based and features a short guitar solo at the beginning played by Bernie Marsden.
The original song also has a bit slower tempo compared to the re-recorded version, which had a much heavier and faster sound, influenced by heavy metal.
David Coverdale has stated in interviews that "John (Sykes) hated blues".
The re-recorded version (sometimes titled "Crying in the Rain '87")[citation needed] was also released as a one-track promo single.
