Some things are just classic. Time after Time by Cyndi Lauper

The song’s title, Time After Time, was inspired after Lauper started writing for the song and needed a fake title as a placeholder for the time being. Thus, Lauper was looking in the TV Guide and saw a lot of movie titles, with the 1979 science fiction movie Time After Time being chosen. Although trying to remove the title later, Lauper claimed she couldn’t take it out without the song falling apart.

The spring of 1983, Cyndi Lauper was introduced to American musician Rob Hyman. Hyman and she sat at a piano and started working on “Time After Time” with the inspiration for the song coming after both songwriters were going through similar things with their relationships. Hyman was coming out of a long and hard relationship, and Lauper was having a lot of bumps in her relationship with current boyfriend, David Wolff. One of the first lines Rob wrote was “suitcase of memories”, which according to Cyndi, “strucked her”, claiming it was a “wonderful line”, while other lines came from her life.
