Let Her Cry (song)  "Let Her Cry" is a song by American rock band Hootie & the Blowfish. It was released in December 1994 as the second single from their debut album, "Cracked Rear View", and became a top-ten hit in Australia, Canada, and the United States. The song received the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 1996. In 2008, lead singer Darius Rucker recalled that he had just listened to the song "She Talks to Angels" by The Black Crowes for the first time and was listening to a record by blues singer Bonnie Raitt and "in one stream of consciousness" wrote the lyrics to the song. The single reached the number-two position on the US "Billboard" Pop Songs chart and number nine on the "Billboard" Hot 100. It also peaked at number two on the Canadian "RPM" Top Singles Chart and number four on the Australian Singles Chart. The music video was directed by Adolfo Doring. The video was shot in a sepia tone and features the band singing the song intercut with a woman who runs around a city in the rain.
