una canción preciosa, me hace sentir como la niñez tambien tiene un lado amargo, a pesar de que un niño viva bien puede haber "algo" que termine con su felicidad.. me encanta esta canción
Cyndi has always wrote with such elegance. I never realized what it was about until I got older that she was talking about abortion/unplanned pregnancy.
@roxcyn No problem she started as a Background Actress a lot of people do. Feel free to check out my channel and Subscribe I'm a BackGround Actresss as well. I talk about my journey
@BiancaBrookes Cool! Cyndi used to be a background singer, but they told her she would be better as the main singer. :). Isn't it cool how stuff works out?
Graceful commutation of tragedy into musical sililoquy. Transcends time peacefully laying down unforseen youthful circumstance while forgiving intolerance. Rueing yesterday, yet entertaining tomorrow. Forgiving all yet seeking explanation. Power of conviction through voice.
The scariest part of life isn't death... it's whats after it... This song has saved more lives then the one that Cyndi couldn't save... There have been times when I wanted to die... even though I am on my own a proud gay man and happy.... I came from a dark past and sometimes I will sit in the bathroom with a razor in one hand and just stare at it.... this song has always and will always be my go to therapy song... it just reminds me that there are always bigger and better things....
just heard this live at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and was totaly blown away, I thought she wasn't going to sing it but she did and that totaly made my night!!! 100% to Cyndi. x
@shmeegoe I was at that gig! she was unbelievable! I was convinced she wouldn't do this or True Colors and she did! both of those songs made my night!
I soooo love this SONG!! Cyndi is such a great musician - I must say, I was grown up with pigeons... They are so beautiful birds... I know in the city - People don`t like them - but they don`t see the right thing!!
Pigeons of hope and peace!!! I let them show me their live - Please let all people show them each other - their "inner side"... Love - Helga .-)))
I can never get through this song without breaking down. This is almost my story...Except my best friend's name was Sarah and I didn't lose her to abortion, i lost her to drugs. And on MY dresser sits a photo of us in knee socks and pony tails from when we were 6. I miss her every day of my life.
@bigsteve323 IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU WATCH IT FOR? THIS IS CYNDI LAUPERS MUSIC AND NOT YOURS SO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. ACTUALLY FIRST TELL ME WHY YOU DONT LIKE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!
why do people say Gaga is the new Cyndi?for 1 cyndi is still alive -.- and 2 cyndi isnt a sex addict whore thing and sang about things other than sex,it really pisses me off when people say that
@magicalllamas123 It is the first time l hear such a thing, Gaga the new Cindy?Actuallly l always hear people saying that Gaga is the new Madonna, and that can be true, but definately Cindy is unique and if someone says that Gaga is like her, maybe they are ignorants.
i didnt know what the song was about and it still made me cry, yet i kept replaying it again and again. Once i found out the real meaning it still made me cry
I....cry everytime i hear this song and im 13..Cyndi is the most amazing person to do this song she dropped to her knees crying at the concert..we share a b-day thats how i got into her music
this is a true story, and proof that "pro-lifers" are murderers. they force women to resort to these unsafe procedures. it's sad that people have to die for someone else's agenda.
@froggymicwop thats not true. pro-lifers didn't force her to go get an abortion, nor did they make her get pregnant. She made a choice and died as a result of it. dont go pinning it on pro-lifers just because abortion wasn't legal at that time. the "murderers" are the people who preformed the back alley surgery against the law, not the ones who made it illegal.
@EvilSpoofAuthor it's the pro-lifers' fault she had no access to a safe procedure. the surgeons probably did the best they could without being able to do it in the propper place.
She filmed this video in my old neighboorhood Corona Queens NY where I grew up. She played in the same ally ways where I played. Queens girl just like me :)
when i was like 6, this was my favourite song and i never knew what it meant but listening to it now thaat im older i understand it and it is so much sadder than i always thought it was :( .
Cyndi Lauper is awesome. This is before the horrible little thing we call auto tune. People now select the good looking , even though they may suck at singing , As long as they look good, Auto Tune can do the songs for them . Cyndi is original.
this si a little slice of life that saddly happens all too often. Parents, H E L P your childeren. Let them know that they really can come to you with ANYTHING. Please.
omg yo escucho esta canción desde que nací mi mamá siempre solía cantármela :3

Another reason that abortion must remain legal - so no woman ever has to die from a back alley abortionist butcher.
