Cryin Game is an instrumental composition by contemporary composer Don Rath Jr. Emotion plays a huge role in music composition and this song is no exception. The emotion of loss is what was intended to be portrayed in this work so it comes across as a darker gloomier piece.

Story behind the song

Everyone loses a relationship every now and again especially while still in your early teen years.  I was no exception and this song was written about the memory and the emotions one experiences as a result of losing a very close female friend when I was a young man. This piece is applicable for both young male and female adults coming to an age and in search of your lifelong husband or wife. It is the emotion of loss I wanted to get across through music and I hope I have done this through Cryin Game.
