Someone Like Me

This is a song called "Someone Like Me" from Cyndi Lauper's underheard album (and for me, her masterpiece) Hat Full of Stars.

Cyndi's legacy to pop music will suffer because most of her best songs were never heard by a mass audience. Also, the instrumentation and production on her records are such a product of their time that today much of her music can sound dated.

That is the case with "Someone Like Me." But don't listen that way. Just hear the message. It's a song of self-discovery, of epiphany, that "aha moment" when you realize you deserve better than what you've settled into. I had one of those realizations recently myself, which is why I dug out this old gem.

And now I'm like singing it in the shower, cleaning the house to it, dancing around in my turban singing to a swiffer, "what's someone like me doing in a life like that?"

enjoy. hang in there. and be encouraged.

It's that time again
