Unconditional Love

When I was a kid (teenager), my big sister gave me two cassettes when shes back to visit (back then we used cassettes) from her university, 1. Tina Turner - Break Every Rule and 2. Cyndi Lauper-True Colors. they were my favorite albums to listen to at that time. And after that, when Cyndi Lauper released her next album A Night To Remember, i guess this is the best album in the 80's for me. It was released in 1989 and i was 14. 

So, 20 years later, im back listening to this album and its as refreshing as the first time. I love several tracks in this album. The haunting I Drove All Night, the torturous blues of My First Night Without you and self-emancipation of Heading West. I have to highlight that Diane Warren wrote a song on this album called I Don't Want To Be Your Friend is as tragic as it sounds. I guess this album was released in a dark period of Cyndi's life. But my most favorite is Unconditional Love, which is tender and i so can relate to , for its shows the love of my mother towards me, and generally mothers to their child. for I have so many mistakes while growing up but the love never stops from my mother (Mak) ....no matter what. 

"When I see you, I remember.. Unconditional love... "

love, f
