A great artist and a stellar song.</p> <h2 id="original-by-artist">Original by Artist</h2> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VdQY7BusJNU?autoplay=0&amp;controls=1&amp;end=0&amp;loop=0&amp;mute=0&amp;start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="YouTube video"></iframe> </div> <h2 id="about-this-song">About This Song</h2> <p>&ldquo;Time After Time&rdquo; appears on Cyndi Lauper&rsquo;s 1983 debut album <em>She&rsquo;s So Unusual</em>. Written by Lauper and Rob Hyman, the song started as a working title borrowed from a TV listing and grew into one of the era&rsquo;s most enduring ballads, a stark contrast to the bright, quirky pop of the album&rsquo;s other singles. It went on to hit number one on the Billboard Hot 200 and has since become one of the most covered songs of the 1980s.</p>
