"Crying Song" is from Pink Floyd's 1969 soundtrack album, "Soundtrack from the Film More". It was composed by Roger Waters, the bassist. The song is a lazy pastoral-like ballad, featuring a dreamy vocal delivery by Gilmour. The song was never performed live. It composed similarly to many standard folk ballads, with the only exception being the second chord. It is a D major with a diminished fifth. In this context the D major flat fifth chord has a more dissonant character and lasts for a whole measure.
