El álbum que inaugura de forma espectacular la discografía de Laura Branigan, "Branigan", de 1982, es la obra que presentó al mundo a una de las voces más potentes y dramáticas de la música pop de los años 80. Este trabajo es una colección de pop-rock y baladas que sirvió como el vehículo perfecto para el lanzamiento de una artista con un talento y una presencia arrolladores.
El éxito del disco es inseparable del de su single principal, "Gloria". Esta versión en inglés de una canción del artista italiano Umberto Tozzi se convirtió en un fenómeno mundial. La interpretación de Laura Branigan, llena de fuerza y un dramatismo casi operístico, la transformó en un himno inmortal de la década de los 80.

Aparte del éxito de "Gloria", el disco contiene baladas poderosas como "All Night with Me", que permiten a Branigan lucir todo el rango y la potencia de su increíble voz. El álbum fue un éxito comercial y le valió una nominación al Grammy.
"Branigan" es un debut de un impacto extraordinario. Es un trabajo que no solo nos regaló una de las canciones más icónicas de una era, sino que también presentó a una vocalista excepcional que estaba destinada a convertirse en una de las grandes divas del pop. Es una pieza fundamental de la música de los 80.

Letra
I wish I knew what you were thinkin' Sometimes with you it's hard to tell You lay beside me without speakin' Words are hard to find, better left behind You pull me close as if to answer The question runnin' through my head If words could say it any better: Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me? Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me? Does it feel good? If it feels right, stay all night We'll wake up early in the mornin' Or never go to sleep at all So happy just to be together Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me? Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me? If it feels good, if it feels right, stay all night It's a long night, there'll be time for playin' Never felt so right just to hear you sayin' That it's all right, and you feel like stayin' all night with me Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me? Does it feel good, does it feel right? Why don't you stay all night with me? Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me? Does it feel good, does it feel right? Why don't you stay all night with me? Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me? Does it feel ... [fade out] - Gloria4:50
Letra
Gloria, you're always on the run now Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow I think you've got to slow down before you start to blow it I think you're headed for a breakdown. So, be careful not to show it You really don't remember, was it something that he said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria? Gloria, don't you think you're falling? If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody calling? You don't have to answer Leave them hangin' on the line Oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria) I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria) But you really don't remember, was it something that they said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria? A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria, how's it gonna go down? Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound? Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon? Feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' back soon And you really don't remember, was it something that he said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria? Gloria, don't you think you're falling? If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody calling? You don't have to answer Leave them hangin' on the line Oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria) I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria) But you really don't remember, was it something that they said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria? (Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria) (Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria) - Lovin' You Baby4:34
- Living a Lie3:41
Letra
You've been callin' and there's no answer Now you're wondering why How'd you get in this situation? Now it's your turn to cry You're living a lie, you're wasting your time Caught in a dream, you're living a lie You're living a lie, you're wasting your time Caught in a dream, you're living a lie You keep wonderin' where she's goin' Just to find where she's been Could it be she no longer loves you? Could it be it's the end? You're living a lie, you're wasting your time Caught in a dream, I said you're living a lie You're living a lie, you're wasting your time Caught in a dream, you're living a lie Somebody better help this boy He's chasing rainbows in the sky But there's a fool in every boy The things you never question why You're living a lie, you're wasting your time Caught in a dream, you're living a lie You're living a lie, you're wasting your time Caught in a dream, I said you're living a lie You're living a lie, you're wasting your time Caught in a dream, are you living a lie You're living a lie, you're wasting your time Caught in a dream, you're living a lie You're living a lie, you're wasting your time [fade out] - If You Loved Me3:15
Letra
If you loved me I'm sure that you would know Wouldn't be so easy for you to let me go If you loved me You'd put away your pride And put some love inside And hold it there forever If you loved me If you ever did before You could find those feelings And feel them all once more If you loved me That love would pull us through You'd do all you could do To keep that love together You had me walkin' on a rainbow That vanished at my feet Now that it's over I see the truth my heart refused to see If you loved me The way I loved you from the start Wouldn't be so easy for you to break my heart If you loved me You'd give it one more try You wouldn't let it die You'd hold me close forever If you loved me If you loved me If you loved me Like I love you - Please Stay, Go Away3:33
Letra
I'm caught in a crossfire With nowhere to run I'm keepin' my head down 'Cos I've got only one I'm up on a high wire With nothin' but air I'm feelin' so nervous With so many places to go But I'm goin' nowhere I'm ridin' a cyclone It's twistin' my head I feel like I'm moving But my feet feel like lead I'm drowning in quicksand It's pullin' me down I feel so abandoned When I, I reach for the sky I still can't get off the ground Please stay, go away Can't you see darling that you're drivin' me crazy? Please stay, go away Can't you see you're drivin' me crazy? I'm deep in a forest I can't find a tree I'm chained to your heart But I can't find the key So show me the way home I'm too blind to see My mind's leaning left While my heart tells me it's right But it seems wrong to me Please stay, go away Can't you see darling that you're drivin' me crazy? Please stay, go away Can't you see you're drivin' me crazy? So you want me to feel Then you turn like a wheel Don't you know that I love ya? Do I have to explain that I'm livin' your pain? I can't take it again but I don't want it to end So please stay, go away Can't you see darling that you're drivin' me crazy? Please stay, go away Can't you see darling that you're drivin' me crazy? Please stay, go away Can't you see you're drivin' me crazy? - I Wish We Could Be Alone3:18
Letra
I wish we could be alone So all of the world couldn't see How much we have together And how much you mean to me I wish we could put out the flame But oh, sweet baby, tell me would it be right? I take the subway and you take the train I got a husband and you got a wife I wish we could love and then not always have to pretend I wish we could be alone, all alone I wish we could be alone, all alone I know it's not simple But I know that it's strong And I know it will never be easy But I know it ain't wrong I wish it could always be the way it is when you're kissin' me I wish we could be alone, all alone I wish we could be alone, all alone And so we'll go on and on Hidin' out the way that we do Keepin' it from all of our friends There ain't a nothin' between us two I wish we could hang about And not worry who's givin' in or out I wish we could be alone, all alone I wish we could be alone, all alone I wish we could be alone, all alone - Down Like a Rock3:34
Letra
Was there light on the water when I fell in and drowned? Did anyone see my body go down? Did he call out "Someone help, she can't swim!"? Or did he just laugh when I slipped and fell in? I went down without a trace And all I could see was a smile on his face I fell in, was I pushed, did I fall? But when I went down, I went down like a rock Did anyone jump in or climb down the rungs To catch me and save me and pump out my lungs? I saw nobody cry on board, nobody offered a prayer Did anyone notice, doesn't anyone care? I went down without a trace And all I could see was a smile on his face I fell in, was I pushed, did I fall? But when I went down, I went down like a rock Was there light on the water when I fell in and drowned? Did anyone see my body go down? Did he call out "Someone help, she can't swim!"? Or did he just laugh when I slipped and fell in? I went down without a trace And all I could see was a smile on his face I fell in, was I pushed, did I fall? But when I went down, I went down like a rock I went down without a trace And all I could see was a smile on his face I fell in, was I pushed, did I fall? But when I went down, I went down like a rock - Maybe I Love You3:31
Letra
Maybe I love you, maybe I don't Maybe I'll need you and maybe, baby, I won't I guess I don't take the time To let you know what's on my mind Maybe I've been blind Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm sane Maybe I need to go away, start over again But if I went away I'd be afraid I should have stayed Maybe I'm afraid that maybe I love you And believe me when I tell you It's because of all the things you say and do That help me make it through I need you But when I try to say goodbye I realize I won't know what to do If I don't have you Maybe I love you, baby I do I guess I loved you The first time I saw you And when I don't take the time To let you know what's on my mind I know that I'm too damn blind But baby I love you Maybe I love you, maybe I don't Maybe I'll need you and maybe, baby, I won't I guess I don't take the time To let you know what's on my mind Maybe I've been blind, but maybe I love you I love you
