Cyndi Lauper | When You Were Mine (Prince Cover) This song was such a huge part of my self discovery as both a human being and as an artist. On a personal level, to hear the way Cyndi took this song (originally written and performed by Prince) and switched the perspective to elude to the fact that the subject of the song was a about her ex-boyfriend going with another guy... just blew my mind. How progressive for 1983? On an artistic level, I think this was one of the first times I realized that I didnt have to personally record every song I wrote myself. Sometimes a song you write just isnt for you and someone else can do a better job taking your idea and making it their own. It was a lesson in letting go of control that would inevitably take me a very long time to learn.
