"If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting. Time after time" That is such a beautiful line. It gets me every time. You really should do more Cyndi Lauper, she has a lot of good stuff and a lot of pretty recent stuff.
When she was new, and starting , she was on a show called the tonight show with Johnny Carson. He is absolutely charmed by her talent musically and her humor as a guest . He knew how talented she was and was touched and it shows. Go hunt those down on RU-vid. They are amazing.
One of my daughters spent her childhood at a studio taking dance lessons. She and a friend spent many hours in our basement listening to music and creating dance routines. To this song they stood facing a wall in the dark, lit by a spotlight and moved their arms like the hands of a clock. This song always brings back fun memories.
Years ago I was in my office trailer at work. The song At Last come on the radio but was a cover I had never heard. It was beautiful and I found it s difficult to keep my eyes dry. You can't imagine my surprise when the DJ announced Cyndi Lauper as the singer. I was really only familiar with Girls Just Want to Have Fun at that point. It woke me up to what an impressive talent she really is.
"Time after time" é uma linda canção dos anos 80 (lembro-me quando ela foi lançada em videoclip) e emocionará sempre. Além de excelente cantora, Cindy Lauper é uma pessoa humana maravilhosa. Verdadeira artista.
Great choice, Verdy! Fellow Brooklynite Cyndi has a four-octave range and had regaled us with her outsized voice so others may find theirs. She inherited her extraordinary vocal ability from her mother who took Cyndi to scream at the Beatles. I'd like to think they went to the legendary concert that the Beatles played at Shea Stadium in New York City on August 15th, 1965. Written in the frank, discursive style in which Cyndi speaks, she released A Memoir in 2012, not your overly airbrushed memoir where she recounts in unsparing detail her grueling late teens and early 20s. She left home at 17, to escape her sexually abusive stepfather, and later flew to Toronto from where she hitchhiked with her dog Sparkle, a beagle-collie-Sheltie mix. about 300 kilometers north to Algonquin Park, to study trees "trying to find myself and then trying to find the way out." In 1977, Cyndi extensively damaged her vocal cords, leaving her virtually voiceless and took a year off from singing. She was told by doctors that she would never sing again, but after a full year of therapy with a voice coach Cyndi regained her voice. And what a legacy it was. Cyndi Lauper is a music icon.
Cyndi Lauper grew so much as a singer as her career went along. She was typecast as a "new wave" singer after her look on her first album, but she really opened it up with this song and True Colors. Great reaction. You seemed lost in the song.
Verdy, J'ai tellement aimé ta réaction à cette chanson. Vous sembliez être pris dans l'émotion et vous sembliez parfois au bord des larmes. J'adore regarder ton très joli visage quand tu réagis. Tu as une beauté si profonde et sensible et un si grand cœur. Tu es toujours le premier vers qui je me tourne pour avoir des réactions. Merci du fond du Coeur Barry.
There ya go. Very astute reaction. Like your voice and could listen to you react Time After Time. I loved this upon her release of it. and I still love this song today. I think it is wicked cool how you are discovering my generations music. Big shoutout from an old rock and roller in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. U.S.A. Bless you and yours. Go with God. Peace and Love, sister.
You do a wonderful job on your reactions and keep up the good work I will continue to watch you and support your channel thank you for putting happiness into the reactions
This sis a classic 80's song and Cyndi does a great job with the vocals, but you should check out the video of the singer/guitarist Eva Cassidy doing a live cover of this song, it's incredible (the video is in B&W and the video quality isn't great, but the audio is very good). Eva Cassidy also does a jaw-dropping cover of Over The Rainbow during the same live recorded performance that blew me away the first time I watched. She was a incredibly talented vocalist (one of the best female vocalists I've ever heard), but she tragically died of metastatic melanoma a few months after that performance and before her music and live performances went viral in Europe and America.
Plenty of recommendations for further viewing and listening, I'd just suggest catching her performance in the Live DVD of Roger Water's "The Wall" (forget Roger's off the loop current political outpourings re Russia and Ukraine, he's been anti war since his father died in WWII), Cindy shines - a great voice and presence, and the audience know it too, given the ideal song (I won't spoil it for you by saying which but, once seen it's the only one it could have been), on a fantastic stage and setting, the whole concert was magic (power cuts and all) and Cindy got to be a deserved part of musical history.
I was like 8 years old, omg time flies, way back when mtv had music, u gotta do " True Colors', this song is so beautiful but somber, Verdy, again w/ a great reaction and your beautiful face🌹💖.. take care
Great job 👍 with your reaction to Time After Time from (Cindy Lauper ) . Verdy nice to see you switch your room around again . Your someone who definitely appreciate this style of music. I'm really hoping they the next song you do a reaction to from Cindy Lauper is True Coolers .
I was one of the people on your other video recommending you listen to this song in full. So this morning as I was coming home from shopping "Time After Time" came on the radio & once I got back I fired up RU-vid, looked for reactions, and here it is. Serendipity! 🙂 Not sure if you're familiar with this other song or not, but I always hold "Time After Time" in a similar light to a song by Pretenders called "I'll Stand By You." Similar feel, similar subject matter, and both are hauntingly beautiful with poignant lyrics. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't heard it before.
Excellent choice. :) If I ever get the Girls Just Want To Have Fun song stuck in my head I can switch over to this one in my head and enjoy that much much better. I call it my earworm destroyer song... :)
She was one of those surprisingly good singers in the pop realm in the 80s. Most used pitch correct and simple melodies to get by. Cyndi had a unique timing but she also had amazing dynamics in her voice that put her in her own category. It may have limited her career to an extent, but she was an amazing entertainer.
Digital pitch correcting wasn't commonly used in the 80's ( it was very tedious and had sound artifacts to be worked around ), late 90's is when it started to become common with technology advancing. Cyndi is an artist and didn't want to just churn out simple pop tunes that were common.
Cyndi's contemporaries female singers like Madonna and Pat Benatar brought a diverse sound to the 80s paving the way to the solo female acts that filled arenas and stadiums in its heyday, and nowadays garner billion+ clicks. Fellow Brooklynite (Greenpoint) Polish-American descent Pat Benatar ( (née Andrzejewski) had her breakthrough in Verdy's homeland, Canada and solidified further her success in the US. Planning to get into Juilliard, she trained as a coloratura, a vocal virtuoso of sorts, and to have an idea of what a coloratura is capable, think of the soprano role, most famously typified by the Queen of the Night in Mozart's The Magic Flute, a vocal performer who has a high range which requires the singer to execute with great facility elaborate ornamentation and embellishment, including breathless running phrases and staccato, and bird-like trills. A coloratura soprano has the vocal ability to produce notes above high C (C6) and possesses a tessitura ranging from A4 to A5 or higher, unlike lower sopranos whose tessitura is G4-G5 or lower. Pat Benatar's "We Belong" and "Love Is a Battlefield" are a perfect example of female performers ballading and owning the music stage in a more technical way than later acts, namely Alanis, Britney, Cristina, Taylor, etc. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IGVZOLV9SPo.html Note: Sorry peeps, but I couldn't resist to share with you a soprano di coloratura. Here it's the Queen of the Night in all her glory, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YuBeBjqKSGQ.html
You probably wont be able to react to her "money changes everything" song in Paris, because no one does, it must be some copyright issues, but you should even if its for free. And if you want to try another version its the "money changes everything" from the "at last" tour, which as only some years ago, 10 or 15, but she rocked it, even at her age. The point is that song is amazing, even if its not hers, her interpretation is one of the best things of the 80s
Nice reaction! I'd love more of Peter Gabriel, my faves are "Big Time" and "Digging in the dirt", you'll love these! The official videos are also brilliant to these, gotta use these for the reaction.
Stranger Things is not the first show that uses Time After Time. Romy and Michele's High School Reunion also uses it in a pivotal scene near the end. You should check it out.
Were you about to cry girl?. Sounded like your voice gave out the signature. I did. I did and I'm the one they used for 911 in their game. Tears conquer fears. great song. Miles Davis dose a great instrumental version. classic melody. good times.
Cyndi’s story parallels Lady Gaga in that they are both crazy good singers that needed a gimmick to break in to the music business but used that opportunity to bring out their true artistry. Make no mistake, Cyndi did it first and she can wail.
I like your new sound. Dr. John & Lukas Nelson - I Walk on Gilded Splinters and Joni Mitchell - Trouble Child might lead a person to some interesting sounding stuff.
It's a terrific song. Lauper's first hit, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," was a cover, but this song was one she wrote herself, and it is so much better. You really should listen to the cover version by Tuck & Patti, which brings a new level of beauty to this song.
Actually, Rob Hyman "assisted" her in writing the song. I think there has been some disagreement about how involved Hyman was during the writing process of the song.
Verdy after your 80's quiz I was wondering how well you would recognize the group of singers who took part in the We are the World video from 1985 USA for Africa charity song. Some of the most famous American singers of all time participated. You would have to recognize them by only sight and the sound of their voices. I willing to wager you would do better than most other music reactors.
