Cyndi Lauper ha raccolto in questo nuovo lavoro acustico alcuni dei suoi più grandi successi, una manciata di canzoni più nuove e due nuovi brani. Ha scelto come compagni d'avventura Sarah McLachlan, Ani Di Franco, Jeff Beck, Shaggy, Vivian Green, Puffy Ami Yumi e Adam Lazzara.
L'inno alla masturbazione "She Bop" è diventato un brano lento, morbido, avvolgente. E anche gli altri brani, "True Colors","All Through The Night", "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", sono stati trasformati in piccoli gioielli senza tempo.
Se siete rimasti alla Cyndi Lauper anni '80, se vi siete fermati all'apparenza, al suo strano modo di vestire e di pettinarsi ascoltate questo album.
Cyndi Lauper ha talento da vendere, è una delle artiste più sottovalutate in campo musicale. Ascoltate "Above The Clouds" con la chitarra di Jeff Beck o soffermatevi su "Water's Edge",con gli eterei vocalizzi di Sarah McLachlan: un capolavoro.
La voce di Cyndi è sempre quella grintosa e dolce allo stesso tempo, capace di divertire ed emozionare.
L'album è uscito anche in versione Dual disc con alcuni video e degli extra.

04 She Bop (04:16)
We-hell-I see him every night in tight blue jeans--
In the pages of a Blue Boy magazine
Hey I've been looking for a new sensation
I'm picking up--good vibrations--
Oop--she bop--
Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop--or I'll go blind
Oop--she bop--she bop
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--bop,
I hope He will understand
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop
(whistle)...
Hey, hey--they say I better get a chaperone
Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone
No, I won't worry, and I won't fret--
There ain't no law against it yet--
Oop--she bop--she bop--
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--bop,
I hope He will understand
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop
08 Shine (03:32)
Shine I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away
'cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine I won't deny you
And don't be afraid it'll all be ok
Do you know my name
Well I ain't gonna take
that big time line
won't be beat by a lie
Gonna call out to these embers
waiting to ignite
Gonna pull you up
By your love, by your love
and tell you
Shine I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away
'cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine I won't deny you
And don't be afraid it'll all be ok
I can see the frown you wear
All around like some faded crown
Like a watch over wound
Gonna call down to this diamond
buried underground
Gonna pull you up
by your love, by your love
and tell you -
Shine I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away
'cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine I won't deny you
And don't be afraid it'll all be ok
When it's said and done
What you need will come
and time won't let me
Let you let me waste it this time
shine...
09 True Colors (04:09)
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You can call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
11 Fearless (04:07)
Sometimes I'm afraid when you go
Sometimes I'm afraid when you come home
Underneath it all
I think I'm afraid when there's nothing wrong
But if I was fearless
Could I be your wreckless friend
And if I was helpless
Would you be the one comes rushing in
There's something that I never told
When I find myself slipping off
Of my pedestal
I'm a fierce believer afraid to fall
But if I was fearless...
Could I be your wreckless friend
And if I was helpless...
Would you be the one comes rushing in
Sometimes I'm afraid of the dark
I can't find the light in my heart
I can see my hand
Pushing away from you hard as I can
But if I was fearless...
Could I be your reckless friend
And if I was helpless...
Could you be the one comes rushing in
Sometimes I'm afraid when you go
