Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Cyndi Lauper presenta con este álbum de 2005 un fascinante ejercicio de relectura de su propio legado. En 'The Body Acoustic' la artista decide revisitar algunos de sus más grandes éxitos, pero en un formato completamente acústico y con la colaboración de un elenco de amigos de primer nivel. El disco ofrece una visión íntima y renovada de canciones muy conocidas.
La producción es minimalista y se centra en la belleza de los instrumentos acústicos, como la guitarra, el dulcimer o el piano. Clásicos como "Time After Time" o "True Colors" son despojados de sus arreglos originales para revelar su esencia melódica y lírica en su forma más pura.
Las colaboraciones enriquecen enormemente el proyecto. Por ejemplo, su dueto con la cantante de R&B Sarah McLachlan en "Time After Time" es de una belleza exquisita. La participación de artistas como Shaggy en "All Through the Night" le da un toque inesperado a la canción.
La voz de Cyndi Lauper, en este contexto más desnudo, suena más emotiva y llena de matices que nunca. 'The Body Acoustic' es una obra de una gran calidad artística, un testimonio de que las grandes canciones resisten cualquier tipo de arreglo y que, a veces, la belleza reside en la sencillez.

Letra
All through the night I'll be awake And I'll be with you All through the night This precious time When time is new Oh, all through the night today Knowing that we feel the same without saying We have no past, we won't reach back Keep with me forward all through the night And once we start the meter clicks And it goes running all through the night Until it ends, there is no end All through the night Stray cat is crying So stray cat sings back All through the night They have forgotten What by day they lack Oh, under those white street lamps There is a little chance they may see We have no past, we won't reach back Keep with me forward all through the night And once we start the meter clicks And it goes running all through the night Until it ends, there is no end Oh, the sleep in your eyes is enough Let me be there, let me stay there a while We have no past, we won't reach back Keep with me forward all through the night And once we start the meter clicks And it goes running all through the night Until it ends, there is no end Keep with me forward all through the night And once we start the meter clicks And it goes running all through the night Until it ends, there is no end - Time After Time4:17
Letra
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you Caught up in circles Confusion is nothing new Flash back warm nights, almost left behind Suitcase of memories Time after Sometimes you pictured me I'm walking too far ahead You're calling to me I can't hear what you've said Then you said, go slow, I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look And you will find me, time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting, time after time If you're lost you can look And you will find me, time after time If you fall, I will catch you I'll be waiting, time after time After my picture fades And darkness has turned to grey Watching through windows You're wondering if I'm ok Secrets stolen from deep inside The drum beats out of time If you're lost you can look And you will find me, time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting, time after time You said, go slow, I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look And you will find me, time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting, time after time If you're lost you can look And you will find me, time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting, time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time (Time after time) (Time after time) (Time after time) - She Bop4:16

Letra
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 proud That's when you tell me all your fears and all your dreams So sound 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 - I'll Be Your River4:47
- Sisters Of Avalon5:27
Letra
Felt someone calling me into the howling of the wind. I heard the reflection of a sound echoing through my skin ... And a distant drum rumbling under ground gently guides me on ... Through my wild heart ... Whispering to me the Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon... She is awakening in dark swells and mystery. Unbridled night mares powerful and running free. You could still hear her cries reverberating through the trees... For the trampled flowers, the daughters of Eve, the Sisters of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon... They brought her in in a new white dress... But the stain left an ache on her mother's breast... Now all that's left are the ghostly steps from a distant corridor... And a distant drum rumbling under ground gently guides me on ... Through my wild heart ... Whispering to me the Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon... Come on sisters... Come on sister... - Shine3:32
Letra
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... 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... 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... 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 It'll all be OK When you shine You can shine Shine May you, may you shine... - True Colors4:09
Letra
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 it's 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 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 (I can't remember When I last saw you laughing) 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 - Water's Edge4:49
- Fearless4:07
Letra
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 reckless friend And if I was helpless ... Could 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 reckless friend And if I was helpless ... Could 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 Hard as I can But if I was fearless ... Could I be your wreckless friend And if I was helpless ... Could be the one comes rushing in. - Girls Just Want To Have Fun3:00
