Cyndi Lauper

I saw you gather all your hope with all your dreams
I waved just like a shooting star that once I waved to me
I am a lover in mid-air
I think it about it; I don't care
Into the fire of despair
Just like a train that goes nowhere

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain rain on me

There was a time I got it wrong
It shakes my memory
And all the time I had it all
Its just I couldn't see
I am a robber in the dark
Singing about a broken heart
Answering whistles in the air
Waiting for someone else to care

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me

When the rain came tumbling down
And both your feet were on the ground oh
Running fast and free oh yeah
Well maybe time gonna wear you out
Or maybe you're gonna come around or
We'll just wait and see oh yeah

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain rain on me

Yeah you can rain on me
But you can rain...

An 80’s pop starlet that skyrocketed her way to the top of the mainstream game, Cyndi Lauper has made her mark as an artist both socially and musically.

Beginning her solo career in the 1983 with hit debut album She’s So Unusual, Lauper came to be a household name with the four top-five hits that came with the record, including breakthrough single “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the visceral, chart-topping “Time After Time”. Her camp attitude, electrifying vocals, and unrelenting earworms made an impression on the general public, and she would take home Best New Artist and Best Album Package at the Grammy’s for She’s So Unusual, amidst 4 other nominations. Lauper would never reach the same sort of stardom again musically following She’s So Unusual, but her legacy was far from over.

She’s So Unusual set the ground for her next True Colors. Released in 1986, the album most notably contained title-track “True Colors”, which would grow to become a primary anthem of the gay rights movement. Lauper would later serve as a key advocate of the LGBT community, and she has fairly consistently addressed homophobia throughout her career.
