Almost need cry -- upset after sun's setting (7)
I believe the answer is:
scenery
'setting' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'almost need cry upset after sun's' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'upset' indicates an anagram.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'sun' becomes 's'.
'need' with its last letter taken off is 'nee'.
'nee'+'cry'='neecry'
'neecry' with letters rearranged gives 'cenery'.
'cenery' after 's' is 'SCENERY'.
(Other definitions for scenery that I've seen before include "Stage sets" , "On-stage background" , "Stage backdrop, perhaps" , "movie sets?" , "Attractive landscape" .)
