Sympathy
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
And when you lock and bolt the door
Just think about out in the cold and dark
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round
Now half the world hates the other half
And half the world has all the food
And half the world lies down and quietly starves
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round
And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round
Sympathy - Bing Crosby
Bing Crosby's 'Sympathy' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery of the crooner style, blending intimate vocal delivery with the polished arrangements typical of his era. Recorded during the golden age of radio and early television, the track exemplifies Crosby's ability to convey deep emotion through subtle phrasing and a warm, husky tone that defined his career. As a staple of his discography, the song reflects the sophisticated pop and vocal jazz influences that characterized his work alongside peers like Frank Sinatra. The recording captures the essence of mid-20th-century American music, where the focus remained on the singer's personal connection with the listener, delivered through clear, high-fidelity sound engineering that became Crosby's signature. Its enduring popularity underscores its status as a timeless piece within the broader canon of his musical contributions.
