Time after time

#80s 這歌太多人都翻唱,翻弾過, 是一首很獨特的經典, 很簡單的和弦進行 F-G-Em-F, 主歌: Dm/C-C,有點淡淡的哀愁和詩意. #MilesDavies 重編過. 爵士吉他, 我聽過 #TuckandPatty 翻唱翻弾過.

但這歌是 #CindyLaupe r在錄音室看電視指南看到的一個電影名子,她和鍵盤手就以這電影情節的一小段開展情節發展而成

• Story

Lauper and Hyman dispensed with the film's #plot, coming up instead with a 1980s-defining romantic ballad that distilled the #contradictory emotions of an #unwinding relationship (放不掉的矛盾情感) into four minutes of brilliantly conceived narrative pop. Here, a young woman moves on — not dumped — from a relationship that she still treasures: “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.”

• Style

Confident and #iconoclastic, Lauper influenced a line of female singers, from Madonna to Alanis Morissette and Britney Spears. But it was about more than her look.

She was a genuine musician, with a four-octave range (4個八度的音域) that she sometimes deployed in seemingly #casual near- #cartoonish ways. The #lyrics to “Time After Time” border on the #poetic, and Lauper’s rhythmically delivered post-punk #vocals, fitting with sparse drums, swirly keyboards and a light, slow-reggae beat, combine into a #powerfully affecting force.
