OH man, oh fucking awesome man... Oh man, did I say fucking awesome? Yes my mood is hyper, chipper and energized at least for the moment. I went to a Cyndi Lauper concert at the Taj Casino tonight. It was a live TV taping for VH1 Decades Rock specials – this one was a tribute to Cyndi.
It was cool cause she had a neat set and had guests to sing with her – so not just her but others and damn and oh man and yeah it was good. I was an idiot up and dancing the whole time but who cares.
I had pretty good seats and only had obstructed views a few times. And again I was on my feet and the thing lasted just about three hours but man I had fun.
So the stage was cool with this neat ramp all the way around – which Cyndi and others used the whole time. In fact she was ALL over and into the crowd and on chairs and oh it was so fucking awesome.
Alright… so the Hooters opened and man I like there songs. Then Cyndi came out and she did a couple of songs and brought out Shaggy. He was great and it was cool hearing some of Cyndi's songs with a reggae/rap flavor. She did this great song she wrote with Beck -Above the Clouds.
OK that song was one of two I did not dance, I did not sit, I just stood there frozen. I know pretty stupid but it… I really almost cried… I know, it was weird I just... it made me feel lonely yet also good... so even though it is the type of song you wanna have someone there to slip your hand into their hand just to feel contact... you also could walk away alone too...
I will find someone someday to share experiences like this with... that song proved that to me... of course I need to stop thinking about a couple of people who I know would never be interested in me and look for people who would - but eh, wishing someone would see you as you see them is like a Above the Clouds... so I'll keep thinking and looking and walking
Anyway so the other people singing with Cyndi included Scott Weiland of Velvet Revolver, Pat Monahan of Train, Ani DiFranco, Shaggy and The Hooters.
It was so awesome hearing other people singing her songs because they put a different spin on them, plus to hear Cyndi singing their songs. They did an awesome version of Ani's 32 flavors complete with four violins and a full band yet the two women sang, Ani played her guitar. Before that they did a cover of one of Cyndi's songs with Cyndi playing the guitar.
Scott and Cyndi rocked out hard time to Money changes everything.
In between the songs and while working on setting up things Cyndi kept adding comments that just were so funny. I need to find out why talking about trombones is an inside joke for her - lol
And okay an acoustic version of She Bop rocked and thinking about the concert and all man I need to She Bop – hehe (especially since I have no one to Bop me – but again I'll find someone, until then – She bop, I bop... :oP
Ok so will go to one of her concerts again – only I need to find someone to go with cause as she sang in an awesome duet with Shaggy making a rap version of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun – I wanna find a girl to have fun with! Or anyone to drag to concerts... come on – poke me in the back and say hey let's go listen to music – yayayayayay music - lol
There’s a place where the sun breaks through
And the wind bites cold and hard
Stings my ears and
Tears my eyes
When the day starts to shout out loud
Stand tall
And glide
When you’re all alone in the crowd
Don’t fall
Don’t hide
When you walk above the clouds
When you walk above the clouds
When the light is against your face
And your smile is soft and sound
That’s when you tell me all your fears
and all your dreams
So proud
Stand tall
And glide
When you’re all alone in the crowd
Don’t fall
Don’t hide
When you walk above the clouds
When you walk above the clouds
I try and tell you
to keep your head upright
Don’t swing your sword and shield against the night
Don’t block your blessings, boy
You don’t have to fight
You don't have to fight
Stand tall
And glide
When you’re all alone in the crowd
Don’t fall
Don’t hide
When you walk above the clouds
When you walk above the clouds
