Jeri once told me if you sing from your heart people hear with their heart
Absolutely beautiful performance

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights almost left behind
Suitcases of memories, time after...
Sometimes you picture me, I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said
Then you say, "Go slow." I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

[Chorus]
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

When I sing with my godawful voice people hear a godawful voice.

Only one of hers I remember is this

quite liked it as a happy tune.

Sometimes mused over what a Lauper did - is it a verb to laup?

I've always liked Cyndi Lauper. But then again, I grew up in the 80s.

I am with you Ranger. Good songwriter and performer. She may not have the normal diva type pop voice but that is no bad thing! She can still get the crowd going too. This was from Hootenany several years back

This gets stuck in my head: "Fearless"
When she started to sing "At Last" on the TV show Bones I thought it would be a mess, but that lady has pipes!

And she plays dulcimer. (It's on the first song linked)

Moved to the music side of things.

For those who like her performance on "Bones" have a listen to her whole CD by the same name.

Absolutely wonderful.

After that Bones performance I spent time looking up more of her performances; I was probably one of many reminded afresh of her vocal talents.

One of the few times I sat through Celebrity Apprentice
was when Cyndi Lauper was one of the contestants.
She was a trouper and more than held up her end.
Unlike one fellow who got drunk and crashed on a sofa,
who must not be named.

However, from the beginning,
the corporate favorite was the late Joan Rivers.
She and the Donald, I must say, were two of a kind.

I cheered Cyndi on, anyhow.

Now she turns up -- as she did last night on network television --
in an advertisement for a medication
for a form of psoriasis.

I suspect she is doing that only because they are paying her a lot of money and because she believes it works. She doesn't strike me as someone who suffers foolish advertisements gladly. And she has been keeping herself busy with theatrical activities like Kinky Boots.

Oops, that was me at 13 May 18 - 08:59 PM. I didn't realize that Mudcat had eaten my cookie until later.

Once saw her do a mean version of Bobby Bland's "Blind Man" and I've always liked "Time After Time".

Eva Cassidy did a fine cover of "Time After Time". It's on YouTube.

She is a wonderful singer with some great songs and a good singing voice but I also enjoy her speaking voice, the high feminine New York accent which reminds me of so many of my eastern relations (the feminine ones).

HEY!! Get outa here!!!

Dat ain't no Noo Yawk accent- dats western Queens County - next to and virtually a BROOKLYN acent, God bless her.

She's one of the few tradition bearers left preserving a dying language.

You Go, Girl!!

It's unfortunate that the first hit kind of tagged her with an airhead image - she is anything but. Have always liked her and I turn in an a cappella reading of 'Sally's Pigeons' from time to time. An astute woman and one of two I'd like to have dinner, or maybe just a few beers with!

Cyndi was the guest on the NPR quiz show "Wait,Wait Don't Tell Me" this week. Funny and charming she was.

I first heard "Time After Time" performed by jazz duo "Tuck & Patti" on MTV in the mid/late-80s. Only later found out it was by Cyndi Lauper. Here's a version from "Youtube" :
