If You Go Away - Cyndi Lauper

"If You Go Away" is a song in English based upon the French song "Ne Me Quitte Pas" (1959), written by Jacques Brel. The English lyrics were written by Rod McKuen as part of a larger project to translate Brel's work. "If You Go Away" is considered a pop standard and has been recorded by many artists, including Greta Keller, for whom some say McKuen wrote the lyrics [1]. Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Brenda Lee, Shirley Bassey, Daliah Lavi, Marc Almond, Emilíana Torrini, Neil Diamond, Scott Walker, Farhad Mehrad, Dusty Springfield, Violetta Villas and Cyndi Lauper have also recorded versions of it, with several of the numerous versions becoming hits and achieving success on the charts.

This. Song took me through losing my fiancée suddenly to cancer - the 3am screaming and denials etc - now it comforts me. This is my new normal the world stopped spinning for me. I miss you Darling. One day, God willing, we will be united again. Until then my love

@lasktguy , Multi-talent? ABSO-freakin-LUTELY. Madonna is an upstart. She can write music that sells off the charts, not just the words. She knows how to play the drums, some keyboards and she plays the guitar. She can sing well in the right environment. Acting is passable given the right direction. Did you see Evita and Desperately Seeking Susan? Swept Away was not bad either.. And she's a uber fantastic dancer and choreographer. She also runs many of her own businesses, diirects movies...

@SpazChat I'll agree with a couple of things you say. Yes, she's an average singer and yes, she was lucky to meet people to give her a break. Multitalent?

@lasktguy , No Madonna made it because she could write her own hits (words and music) and was lucky enough to meet the right people to give her a big break, learned to play instruments (guitar, drums), long before you even knew who she was, and yeah, she puts on hella good shows, probably some of the most extravagant in the biz. She's a dance and fashion genius and multi-talent.

She's an average singer, not a good singer. Compare her live performances to her records

The drum tone sounds atonal in this piece
