Cyndi Lauper’s classic and popular songs (31–40)
Down So LongCyndi Lauper
It may be hard to tell from the short video, but the vocalist holds her own against the band’s sound, and I think people go to hear her unique style—so I imagine they’re enjoying that aspect as well.
This also makes me want to check out the official recordings.
I Drove All NightCyndi Lauper
This song feels great, with a liberating rush when it moves from the solemn, cello-laden opening lines into the chorus.
Written by American songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, it was performed by Cyndi Lauper in her own distinctive style.
I Will FollowCyndi Lauper
It starts with a band arrangement in the intro, and from the A section onward, the powerful voice holds its own without getting buried by the strong band sound.
It reminded me of arrangements from classic prog.
It made me expect that the other tracks on this album will be enjoyable as well.
I’m Gonna Be StrongCyndi Lauper
This song was written by the songwriting duo Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.
While other artists had released it as a single, it became a major hit when Cyndi Lauper took the lead vocal.
It’s a powerful and grandiose track.
Sally’s PigeonsCyndi Lauper
The intro starts with vocals over percussion, and various instruments gradually layer in.
At that moment it moves right into the chorus and then into the second verse.
This kind of flow is a common arrangement in classical music.
I think it’s a ballad-style piece.
