"Time After Time" is a song by American singer Cyndi Lauper from her debut studio album, She's So Unusual (1983). It was released as the album's second single in March 1984, by Epic and Portrait Records. Written by Lauper and Rob Hyman, who also provided backing vocals, the song was produced by Rick Chertoff. It was written in the album's final stages, after "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", "She Bop" and "All Through the Night" had been written or recorded. The writing began with the title, which Lauper had seen in TV Guide, referring to the 1979 film Time After Time . [8]

Contents

"Time After Time" received positive reviews from music critics, with many commending it for being a solid and memorable love song. It has since been named as one of the greatest pop songs of all time by many media outlets, including Rolling Stone , Nerve , MTV, and many others. [9] The song was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Song of the Year at the 27th Annual Grammy Awards. [10] Commercially, "Time After Time" was another success for Lauper, becoming her first No. 1 hit single in the United States, topping the Billboard Hot 100 on June 9, 1984 and remaining at the top for two weeks. It additionally peaked at No. 6 on the Australian Kent Music Report chart and No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart.

Although "Time After Time" would eventually become one of Lauper's signature songs, it was one of the last songs on her debut album to be recorded. While Lauper was still writing material for She's So Unusual in the spring of 1983, her producer, Rick Chertoff introduced her to American musician Rob Hyman, a founding member of the Hooters. Lauper had by then already recorded the majority of the album, including the songs "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "She Bop," but Chertoff insisted that she and Hyman needed to record just "one more song". Therefore, she and Hyman sat at a piano and started working on "Time After Time". [11]

The inspiration for the song came from the fact that both songwriters were going through similar challenges in their respective romantic relationships; Hyman was coming out of a relationship, and Lauper was having difficulties with her boyfriend/manager, David Wolff. One of the early lines Rob wrote was "suitcase of memories", which according to Lauper, "struck her", claiming it was a "wonderful line", and other lines came from Lauper's life experiences. The song's title was borrowed from a TV Guide listing for the 1979 movie Time After Time , which Lauper had intended to use only as a temporary placeholder during the writing process. Although she later tried to change the song's name, she said that she felt at some point that "Time After Time" had become so fundamental to the song that it would fall apart with a different title. [11]

Initially, Epic Records wanted "Time After Time" as the album's lead single. However, Lauper felt that releasing a ballad as her debut solo single would have pigeonholed her stylistically as a balladeer, limiting her future work and thus potentially killing her career. Wolff felt that "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" could become a successful pop anthem and was a better choice; ultimately the label agreed and released it as the lead single. [11] "Time After Time" became the album's second single, [12] released on March 27, 1984. [13]

Composition and lyrics

Written by Cyndi Lauper and Rob Hyman and produced by Rick Chertoff, "Time After Time" is built over simple keyboard-synth chords, bright, jangly guitars, clock ticking percussion, and elastic bassline. [14] Lyrically, the track is a love song of devotion. Pam Avoledo of Blogcritics speculates that, "In 'Time After Time,' the speaker believes she is a difficult person, unworthy of love. She runs away and shuts people out. However, her devoted boyfriend who loves her unconditionally is willing to help her through anything. The relationship is given depth. The couple's intimacy and history is apparent. They've been together for a long time. They love and have seen each other through every tough part of their life." [15]

"Time After Time" is written in the key of C major with a tempo of 130 beats per minute [16] in common time. Lauper's vocals span from G3 to C5 in the song. [17]

Critical reception

The song received critical acclaim:

Accolades

"Time After Time" has entered many lists of "Best Love Songs of All Time", "Best Ballads from the 80s" and others. Bill Lamb, also from About.com, placed the song at number 21 on his "Top 100 Best Love Songs of All Time" list. [24] On Nerve's list of "The 50 Greatest Love Songs of All Time", "Time After Time" was placed at number 5, being called "Lauper's most enduring masterpiece hits at the very essence of commitment," with the article pointing out that "she captures real romance in the most simple and straightforward of lines: 'If you're lost, you can look and you will find me, time after time'." [25]

The song also appeared on Rolling Stone and MTV's "100 Greatest Pop Songs" at number 66. [9] The song also entered VH1's "100 Best Songs of the Past 25 Years and "100 Greatest Songs of the 80s" lists, at numbers 22 and 19 respectively. [26] [27] The song was also on NME 's 100 Best Songs of the 1980s, ranked number 79. The website declared that "'Time After Time' was a change in tack for Lauper, whose musical persona had previously been unstoppably light and frothy. 'Time After Time' was demoed quickly in time for inclusion on her debut 'She's So Unusual', and ended up being a key song for both Lauper's career and the decade itself." [28]

The video for "Time After Time" was directed by Edd Griles, [38] who had previously directed the music video for "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". [39] The video follows a young woman leaving her lover behind. Lauper's mother, brother, and then-boyfriend, Dave Wolff, appear in the video, and Lou Albano, who played her father in the "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" video, can be seen as a cook. Portions of the video were filmed at the now-demolished Tom's Diner [40] in Roxbury Township, New Jersey, the intersection of Route 46 and Route 10, and at the Morristown train station. [38] Portions of the video were also shot in front of Betty's Department Store at the intersection of South Main Street and East Central Avenue [41] in Wharton, New Jersey, which was a staple of the community in the 1970s. In addition, Cyndi's "home" where she says goodbye to her mother still stands today on Hurd Street in Wharton, New Jersey. [42] According to Lauper, "It was important to me that we were natural and human in the video. I wanted to convey somebody who walked her own path and did not always get along with everyone and did not always marry the guy." [38] The video opens with Lauper watching the 1936 film The Garden of Allah , and the final scene, where she gets on the train and waves goodbye to David, Lauper is crying. [43]
