Music structure

[edit]

"Dry Your Eyes" is composed in the key ofA major. It is written incommon time and moves at a slowtempo of 80beats per minute. The song is carried by afirst inversiontriad.[3] Theradio edit of the song, lasting 3:22, omits the bridge and third verse. The official video uses this edit. However, some radio edits move the interlude after the second chorus to the beginning of the song.

The melody was taken straight from a royalty-free samples CD released in 1999.[4] A plagiarism claim by unknown artist Epic was reported in the press in 2004, but no case was ever made.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

Leonie Cooper ofNME called "those violins, bringing all of the emotions" the best part of the song.[6] Tony Naylor ofNME called the song, "a hairs-on-the-back-of-your-neck ballad for jilted lovers" and stated, "rarely has Skinner sounded so vulnerable, poignant and, well, normal."[7]
