Honestly, she doesn’t get enough credit for her tone. She is so expressive.

[@michaelmorrison9127]

Only humans in extreme pain can express like this

[@joseallende8046]

48 years old now... and her voice instantly takes me back to my childhood. I'm right back in middle school feeling all the same excitement and angst of those days. Cyndi is the voice of the 80's.

[@briannicholas4130]

She is 42 years old here! BEAUTIFUL. And at 66 years in 2020 she can still kick ass...

[@demonicar]

This made me think about my childhood, and all of the fading memories and family now gone forever. Life is so sad.

[@dylansheppard2479]

This is honestly one of my favorite live performances of all time. She's one of those rare singers where her voice is actually more beautiful and powerful live.

[@MelissaGDixon]

That mic was not ready Cyndi’s voice. An absolute eighties masterpiece! Still holds up in 2019.

[@mickfunny4185]

Melissa G. Dixon you posted this comment in 2020 tho🤔🤔

[@eddiegill]

Amazing brings me back to summer 84 when mtv played music videos

[@zachwbc]

It's crazy how the right words combined with the right sounds can be so powerful and timeless

[@scwilson70]

She is criminally underrated as a female vocalist.

[@edrader]

by whom?

[@LurkKlerk]

Damn that was incredible.... the stern staff got to witness some amazing performances like this over the years.

[@rulinghabs]

I appreciate her more now than I did then.

[@meenamark9624]

God she can bring me to tears. I grew up listening to her. Wow. From the heart. Beautiful.

[@naturalrestingface4909]

If you're lost and you fall I will catch you time after time. Simple but beautiful lyric.

[@clickpond7825]

There aren't many songs that give me goosebumps but this performance of time after time is one of them

[@SuperFlowback]

Cyndi Lauper voice is absolutely timeless. What a beautiful and talented lady

[@buttholeburgers5655]

That was fucking amazing

[@mmelbourne63]

Thank you Christopher my feelings exactly.

[@LedGuitar1218]

This is why life is good. I hope there is an afterlife and this song is on the playlist

[@christopherdunn317]

There is.

[@Not_Sure_81]

A year later and everything has gone to shit. But we still have this song

[@JdrD30]

Well said

[@danielmconnolly7]

Ask Jesus to forgive you of all of your sins and he will. That's the way to Heaven~🕊️👑🙏

[@josephd7720]

Can we make a Spotify playlist called the afterlife?

[@dankhank11]

One of the all-time best musical performances on the Stern show.

[@chikish]

Arguably the most beautiful song of the 1980s. I think it's a masterpiece.

[@cherylbrantley4736]

Just heard this yesterday on the radio, couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. has to come watch the video.

[@shelleyking8450]

Her voice still cuts right through you. Such heart in everthing she sings.

[@yowie12]

Cyndi Lauper is a national treasure.

[@MusicalTopher00]

I never knew she had that kind of vocal talent. I’m blown away by the entire performance.

[@ivana_333]

She is a true legend and that violinist is incredible!

[@fakeascanbe423]

Crazy to think how Howard got such golden pop culture moments out of a morning radio show; a medium that has become a line of fake phone pranks and prerecorded 10 minute interviews. Kudos, Howie!

[@derek17005]

This is one of those timeless (sorry for the pun) songs that no matter where and when you are, you stop and listen. You can't shut off the car when this is playing. You can't take your earbuds or headphones off, you can't pay attention to anything but those haunting instruments and vocals meshed perfectly together.

[@danielvanness6936]

Cyndi Lauper amazes me again. Wow

[@brendo69rock91]

An absolute eighties masterpiece! Still holds up in 2019.

[@virgie4715]

Cyndi is timeless

[@virgie4715]

Check out Lady Gaga performing on stern and other radio shows. It’s amazing.

[@jshelhorse]

My wife's and my first dance at our wedding reception song. Puts a lump in my throat every time I hear it. Great version. Thank you Cyndi and Rob Hyman.

[@yoleerodriguez-ray5527]

Cyndi Lauper is one of the many voices of my childhood. Love her and that yellow hair was super cute!

[@PapiSorrels]

Ugh, my heart. She is so timeless. Love her voice, her accent, her spirit, her everything. Just an astounding woman through and through!

[@fembot521]

Papi Sorrels that was beautiful!

[@dannskopp8957]

I cry

[@Not_Sure_81]

I'm 39 and I've been in love with her my whole life

[@steveryan1799]

Sick bastard.

[@paulgoldstone5203]

Best rendition EVER IMO. New found appreciation for this song. LOVE

[@aliciaanne]

I think she is one of the sweetest famous people ever.

[@jasonpierce6506]

Her on bones. She can even act a bit. She’s amazing.

[@skygazer6898]

I think Cyndi is wonderful. Talented, beautiful, and kind-hearted.

[@robertn3121]

Absolutely spectacular. She and Madonna arrived at the same time. There is no doubt who had more musical talent....

[@Brooklyn_Powers]

Robert N And still has more talent!

[@HelloStrangerPod]

Yeah, I would rate them like this: Cindi - has musical talent Madonna - does not have musical talent

[@anonymouse7095]

Robert N The virgin.

[@nimaakhtarkhavari8766]

There's no even contest here...

[@nhel2471]

Just like christina and britney

[@jpjp9145]

Her voice is so angelic

[@yourcaseworker6916]

Nothing I write would convey how amazing she is.

[@bradmossman7201]

I played this song and it brought tears to my daughters eyes.

[@Valerifon1]

She brought tears to my eyes that was so beautiful. Yeah, the mix could have been better, but not that performance. It was spot on! Cyndi - what an incredible talent! I wish her all the best!

[@ShunyamNiketana]

What a great version of this song! The instrumentation--organ, violin, dulcimer, and her voice--transcendent.

[@gregheckert1396]

Her roll in "we are the world" video is one of the very best she has done. Her voice is what makes it!

[@sherryl1275]

This is the most beautiful version iv heard her sing this...her voice is seasoning beautifly like she is

[@keefriff99]

"Toime after toime" LOL, love her accent. What an amazing voice she has.

[@keefriff99]

@@matt4398 I knew someone was gonna make that joke, lol.

[@safenders]

Hmmm, sounds perfectly normal to me when singing

[@TheGodYouWishYouKnew]

keefriff99 It’s a New Yawk accent

[@egads2]

New Yoik Girl!

[@Zmargo702]

Her singing voice is mostly unaffected tho

[@xymoriintus]

That was absolutely POWERFUL. WOW

[@dukebeach1]

Very few performers get better with age. Her voice is stronger, richer, and just more incredible than ever.

[@db47203]

BeachGunner you do realize this was 24 years ago

[@mathmusic1490]

Cyndi is totally a gem. We love her. Always.

[@normanlam]

What a gorgeous voice!! So glad I grew up in the 80s. 30+ years later in 2020, still gold!! Simply timeless...

[@neatozpy1487]

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 Suitcases 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 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 will 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 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 will be waiting Time after time You said go slow 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'll be waiting Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after Time

[@WeLuv9x5]

Even when stripped down from overproduction, this song is timeless!

[@annielau8717]

One of the best vocals in history. Cyndi Lauper.

[@rafaelhach7411]

Jonie is more

[@kernowrock555]

reliving that first real girlfriend moment from 1984... I'm 54 now...and this song is still 'that song'... and Cyndi is still amazing..

[@CrimeFit]

Reminds me of school days back in the mid eighties 🙏♥️🙏

[@lovestruck7529]

jason johnson me too

[@hoytmccloskey5967]

she's a masterful songsmith..a highly underrated songwriter

[@SticksNkicks]

Shocked at how great her live vocals were! Really an awesome talent!

[@jeannetpierre1]

Cyndi’s voice is unique and this song came out ahead of its time. I still love it and I really like this version. So tranquil and sweet. Thank you Howard Stern!!!! Classic memory. 👀😍👏🏽❤️💯💕🔥💗🌺💋

[@jasonwilliam5511]

There are songs that exist that have the ability to find the painful memories that you have stored away. This is one of those songs. Beautiful and hurtful at the same time. I miss you Fontane. Never thought you'd be the one to stop my heart. I hope your happy and have everything you were looking for.

[@frankmcnail6400]

ALWAYS magical in the Howard Stern studio. Everything this team does, turns to gold. God do I love, what Howard, Robin, Fred, even Gary (lol💕) and the team, do for us each day. The master orchestrator Howard, does it again! To Cyndi, just a beautiful girl; your creativity is timeless! 🤘🏻💕🤘🏻

[@mckinneyhunts]

This performance was absolutely beautiful. Her voice is top 10

[@stefanwill9930]

One of the best Voice ever

[@alessandrogouveia2268]

One of the 80s anthems at its best 90s version. Genius

[@notintohandles]

Most underrated songstress ever. K

[@michaelc5386]

I was going to say "Wow Cyndi looks great these days!" then I saw that this was recorded in 1995 lol.

[@maddogmarc]

She still looks great. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipPQo6WYnqhghdk

[@michaeljensen5020]

But she was 43! So still looked good for middle age.

[@lucyhoward8044]

Didn't know that Cyndi Lauper plays the Mountain Dulcimer! Way cool!

[@gregthomas1323]

So majestic beauty here. No other words necessary

[@samcoon6699]

Wow, I remember when this song came out and I liked it, it was a catchy pop song but to listen to it now and her version here, really says a lot about how talented she really is and how this song has stood on it's on for so long. Such great music. Thank you Cindi.

[@calam8286]

Lost for coherent sentences. Love her hair colour, her individual style, that sparkling vivacious persona, her humour, humility and of course that powerhouse multi octave voice. She arrived around the same as Madonna but there’s no doubt Cyndi is the multi-talented musical maestro.

[@mm4forever]

Songs like these Make quarantine go by so much faster. What I wouldn’t give to live back in the 80’s where good music like this was the mainstream

[@sorcerermalekith]

Amazing Artist! And an epic performance!

[@Ben_1878]

Jackie is thinking I shouldn’t be in this room with all these talented people

[@Shawn-and-Doc]

Dayum that was good. People have always underestimated her vocals. She can lose the affectation and do some pretty amazing shit. Great musician.

[@domcagney2352]

You don't see this kind of thing anymore. Show up at the station, and play a song live for the world to see, not an easy thing to do

[@iseektruth7435]

Awesome!! She sings like an angel and is beautiful. Great talent stands the test of time.

[@charlesroybal4573]

she still sounds and looks great after all these years truely awesome Cindy!

[@MortalHuman]

She has always been such a beauty. Still melts me inside.

[@lawrencemckeon6802]

That's one of the most beautiful fucking songs I've ever heard. Thank you.

[@ChromeTecNina]

I always loved the hell out of this woman's voice. Being from Los Angeles I trip on the way she speaks so much, in a good way. Lol she has like the thickest New York accent I've ever heard in my life and I love it. Plus she looks fairly cute here

[@925_antioch_ca_rap]

@Dalle Smalhals big time New York accent. the north east have the craziest accents. in California we dont have one, although they probably say we do. Wisconsin or north Dakota have funny ones u have the west coast southern and north coast and northern east coast accents. Miami is the one southern accent that has the latin flavor in it

[@safenders]

@@925_antioch_ca_rap lol, everyone has an accent you fool

[@blakfloyd]

@@925_antioch_ca_rap everybody has an accent. There's no default way to sound.

[@leskobrandon691]

She is beyond brilliant and absolutely sexy beyond words!!

[@perculated_]

Hey Now lmfao this comment is golden

[@jonnyharding3646]

What a phenomenal voice and just an incredible song.

[@RubnerFamily]

One of the top 5 pop voices of all time. I'd listen to her sing the phone book.

[@tonyStorks]

Look at this beautiful moment, not even a single cellphone recording the performance. Everyone just enjoying this moment.

[@adampsowden]

Beautiful

[@annehajdu8654]

This woman is the definition of talent. Absolutely brilliant talent.

[@janetfox103]

I heard this live and have been looking for it, for decades! Thanks for uploading!! It's amazing!!!

The recording that got away. She gave them MTV unplugged. They did the best they could. Great moment.

[@Nikki-wt8ss]

One of the best songs ever written

I am really happy Cyndi Lauper was just starting out when I was growing up. I still follow her after all these years she is still awesome.

Ageless beauty. Totally awesome voice, and a true talent. I have always loved her voice and her music...time after time...

[@kyleknott1097]

I was born in ‘82. Started listening to Howard in ‘99. I should have paid more attention to the great music in the 80’s and 90’s. Took that shit for granted.

[@WalterLiddy]

A very versatile song - it can be covered in any number of styles and always seems to work.
