Cyndi Lauper《True Colours》
《True Colours》
演唱：Cyndi Lauper
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh i realize
Its 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 thats why i love you
So dont be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Ooh like a rainbow
Show me a smile then
Dont be unhappy cant remember
When i last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And youve taken all you can bear
Just call me up
Because you know ill be there
And ill see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And thats why i love you
So dont be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Ooh like a rainbow
So sad eyes
Take courage
Oh i realize
If this world makes you crazy
And youve taken all you can bear
Just call me up
Because you know ill be there
And ill see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And thats why i love you
So dont be afraid to let them show
Just show your true colors
True colors
True colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And thats why i love you
So dont be afraid to let them show
True colors
True colors
True colors are beautiful
Beautiful like a rainbow

Cyndi Lauper 是早期MTV时代的超级巨星之一，她那清脆的少女嗓音和无忧无虑的快乐形象，成为 80 年代初最具有特色的形象之一，是众多时尚女孩纷纷仿效的对象。在她的音乐中，则包括了新浪潮、后朋克、雷鬼音乐、流行歌曲和放克音乐。可以说 Cindy Lauper 的音乐和言行，都促进了朋克新浪潮在美国流行音乐中的融合。
1983年Cindy Lauper的处女作《She Is So Unusual》一经推出，销量就高达500万张，其中包括“Girls Just Want To Have Fun”及“Time After Time”在内的4首歌曲，曾高居排行榜的前10名。这次的成功让 Cyndi Lauper 成为公众瞩目的明白，但她并没有就此止步。1986 年 Cyndi Lauper 推出了她的第二张专辑《True Colors》，同样为她赢得了巨大的成功，同名主题歌更是高居榜首，专辑则名列排行榜的第 4 并获得白金销量。但有得必有失，Cyndi Lauper 在这张专辑中尝试转变的成熟而松弛舒适的嗓音，也令她失去了一部分歌迷。
如许多经典好歌百唱不厌一样，“True Colors”这首歌曲也成了众多歌星翻唱的目标，其中就包括乐坛经典人物 Phil Collins，与 Cindy Lauper 略带野性，摇滚的味道的演唱相比，Phili Collins 的演绎则显得柔情万种。
