Song Meaning of “My Baby’s Cryin'” by Dion
My Baby’s Cryin’ by Dion is a song about the loneliness of parenthood. The song sees the narrator trying to process their own feelings of sadness and helplessness as their child cries without seeming to understand why. It’s as if Dion is pleading with his child, asking them to stop, and longing to alleviate whatever pain or suffering his baby may be going through. The narrator is desperate to be a good parent, and desperately trying to do the right thing but can’t understand why their child is so sad.
The song also speaks to the emotions that often accompany parenthood: the joy of caring for and loving another being, mixed with the fear of failing as a parent and being unable to help a child in distress. It’s a reminder that, even during the tough times, being a parent is an honorable and rewarding experience.
