Cyndi Lauper

If the sky should fall into the sea
And the stars fade all around me
All the times that we have known
I will sing a hymn to love

We had lived and dreamed we two alone
In a world that seemed our very own
With its memory ever grateful
Just for you I sing a hymn to love

I remember each embrace
The smile that lights your face
And my heart begins to sing
Your arms, your hands secure
Your eyes that said be sure
And my heart begins to sing

If one day you should ever disappear
Always remember these words
If one day we had to say goodbye
And our love would fade away and die
In my heart you will remain here
And I'II sing a hymn to love

Those who love will live eternally
In the blue where all is harmony
With my voice raised up to heaven
As for you, I'll sing a hymn to love
As for you, I'll sing a hymn to love

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.
