So true. And sometimes the lack of massive airplay is a blessing in disguise that saves the song from overexposure. This song (and album) are Cindi Lauper at her absolute best.
Cyndi's ballads stab me time and time again in my heart. My eyes cry like a river and my heart bleeds like the deepest cut in my veins. Heading West is my favourite Cyndi Lauper single and I can't believe it barely charted. It's simply beyond sublime and I love the video as well +
This really is beautiful! This combines Cyndi's uniqueness as a artist, interpreter, lyricist, singer, performer...Just perfect👌. Underrated masterpiece! 👏🔥💗
Difícil não se apaixonar pela presença dessa voz, que traz para a casa do ouvinte, magia, fidelidade, romance, despojamento, inspiração ... Isso é a Cyndi , para mim, sempre inesquecível ...
Yep. One of the best things she ever recorded. Sadly the album tanked as it just wasn’t what the market was looking for at the time. Lauper refers to it as “A Night To Forget”, which is a shame as I think it may be her strongest album musically. “She’s So Unusual” has the best individual standout songs, but it’s a bit of a patchwork album.
Listened to Cyndi Lauper as a teenager growing up in in Northern Ireland! Now live in her ole digs ..Forest Hills, Queens! City madness or/and tranquility...oh and autumn colors are shining through ;)
This song has suddenly appeared in my mind in one of my blue moments. I'm like a letter with no address. Thanks Cyndi: you've never let me down, since 1984
I've listened to this song several times today, words saying how I'm feeling about taking a chance, moving to somewhere new to find yourself for your own good, even if it doesn't work you'll get back up again.
This song brings me something I can’t explain since I’ve heard it for the first time as a kid! It takes me all! It’s such a touching soft powerful ballad!
Cyndi's lyrics have always been a balm to my soul. Whenever I'm down in the dumps I listen to this song and that sentence "I'm gonna back up again" definitely lights up my pathways....
@@prophetmadonna3744 other at least equally great songs on the album: My First Night Without You, A Night To Remember ..... and of course I Drove All Night ...
Llevaba 24 años sin oír esta canción, siempre la he recordado y muchas veces la había buscado, sin duda, es tan bella como la recordaba. No sabía el título, si tarareaba la melodía y pensaba en Cyndi subiendo la cuesta (2:50) entonando el estribillo y es tal cual como yo recordaba este vidoclip que MTV pasaba cada día año 89-90. GRACIAS. Que cosa mas bonita. Cyndi esta preciosa. El tema es muy muy bueno. Feliz por fin de saber cual era esa canción, podré seguir viendo como subía la cuesta, buscaré la traducción cuando pueda.
roxcyn Como está tan bien hecho el videoclip y es tan bueno, transmite el tema del que trata la letra y al ver la traducción me dije: es lo mismo que me inspiraba el vídeo cada vez que lo veía, ese pensamiento de evasión-libertad, dejar una vida atrás y empezar de nuevo. Fuerza y confianza. El riesgo.. Y eso además con los múltiples matices de la interpretación de Cyndi que están llenos de vida. Es rica en muchos sentidos esta canción transciende mas allá de un estilo o tiempo, a mi, en su día, me encantaba y no tenía casi nada que ver con la música que por entonces y aún hoy, escucho, pero me encantaba a rabiar sobre todo verla y oír esa melodía y esa sinceridad. Bella..., y valiente: mujer. Debía pensar... Saludos. P.D. Le dí un vistazo a la versión que dices aunque no me llegó, tampoco indagué casi, no conocía a la artista aunque como te digo, me pareció que un poco se le hacía grande la canción el poquito que oí, no sé, igual me equivoco o en esa actuación que miré no representa bien el nivel de ella misma pero claro, es a Cyndi a la que intenta acercarse..., no sé. De pronto tenemos/nos quedamos la original y tras tantos años ahí queda y ahí sigue estando, y eso solo unos pocos de todos los que prueban consiguen que suceda. Gracias. ;)
creo que me paso lo mismo , el vídeo , y la canción la recordaba con solo verla unas pocas veces en TV.. tendría 14 años... con el tiempo fue que volví a verlo.. ...
Très jolie mélodie, qui se retient facilement... Servie par une voix hors normes, sublime... Cyndi Lauper, quel personnage haut en couleurs ! C'est le cas de le dire !!
I love it as well !!! I just adore this song!! One of the most beautiful songs and lyrics I have heeard...and her voice and style is unique, there is only one Cindy Lauper!! She is too complex, surrealist, deep for the american audience!!!
Hi Cyndi Lauper, So happy to meet you. I love your 80's songs since my childhood in 80's. Your 80's songs are still the best to listen. I love supporting you Cyndi
Hoje estou com 51 anos. Eu tinha 24 anos quando esta música foi lançada no Brasil. Desde o início dos anos 80, quando a Cyndi foi lançada no Brasil, eu acompanho sua trajetória. Vivi os anos 80 e posso dizer seguramente o quanto ela foi importante para todos dessa geração. Ao contrário da outra, intitulada "o anjo do rock" pelo mercado fonográfico, a "patinho feio do rock", como a Cyndi era chamada, dava ares de profundidade intelectual e artística. Todos que gostavam da Cyndi tinta algo bastante forte em comum: senso crítico da realidade e bom gosto musical. Sabíamos que éramos diferentes. E Cyndi representava bem esse lado de cada um de nós.
Love to you Cyndi Lauper. I saw your Orlando 2016 show with my grandaughter.So many awful things happened in the following weeks and months. Your show was my candle in all the darkness. Thank you !
O álbum A night to remember faz parte da minha vida assim como todos os outros tbm, mais as canções desse álbum é diferente, mim identifico muito com ele, principalmente com essa canção heading west.
Se eu encontrasse o gênio da lâmpada do Aladim, meu desejo seria fazer a Cyndi_lauper voltar aos seus 18 anos de idade, para que a pudesse vela por mais 60 anos
This song reminds me of going on holiday down to Cornwall in the U.K. with my family. My dad had a couple of your albums on cassette and we used to listen to them on the way down. I still listen to it today along with the rest of the songs on your “She’s So Unusual” and “A Night To Remember” albums.
I remember an interview for Rock Cafè: "I think it’s the most beautiful song of my albums to date". I would add at least another 10 only of the first albums but still today... a great masterpiece ("the altitude of freedom....")👌
I headed South. That did it for me. I'm relieved I did. Also dumbfounded it worked out just fine. You can always visit your birthplace. That is "Good Enough!" for me now. Memories have no direction, they stand still, strong & warm within your heart. Love to you and yours and as always, thank you Ms Lauper; my sincerest thanks to you. You lift my spirits every single time (Along with the other brilliant musical people; who have always found room in my heart.) Astonishingly music and memories do not ever leave us. They are one within us and make us who we are. The heart beat of our mother's when we are in the womb must be the key. Well that's just my opinion. I kinda like it! Jan & menagerie xxx
