IF YOU'RE LOST YOU CAN LOOK AND YOU WILL FIND ME...

Today is the birthday of Cyndi Lauper, one of the most important artists on the contemporary music scene.

Next Saturday, The Grandma will join Joseph de Ca'th Lon and Clara Fontaine who are spending a few days in Portuguese lands, and will enjoy Cyndi's performance in Lisbon, a city that for them will always be linked to another great artist, Mísia.

To pay tribute to Cyndi, nothing better than one of her great songs, Time after time, which is not the most festive or the most iconic in terms of popular culture, but it is the one that has best withstood the test of time. It has a very special sensitivity, a beautiful melody and lyrics about loyalty and mutual support that continue to move decades later. In addition, it reflects a facet of Cyndi that goes beyond the extravagant aesthetics of the eighties: her ability as a composer and performer.

Congratulations, Cyndi!

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
Suitcase 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"
And I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

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 will be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside (deep inside)
And the drum beats out of 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
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time

I've got a suitcase of memories that I almost left behind
Time after time
Time, time, time
But you say to go slow but I fall behind
Time after time after time (after time, oh)

 When I sing I have a lot of visions. 
Like what's happening now in my life.
