#i drove all night

[autumnsunshine10]

You ever have a dream and something out of it show up for real when you awake? It's so trippy when that happens! I woke this morning knowing I had a dream soundtracked by the Cyndi Lauper song "I Drove All Night" because it flooded my mind instantly like it had been in there for some time. I can't even recall when I had last heard or thought about that song when conscious. I get on Spotify later to listen to music for the first time today, and its AI DJ randomly chooses that very song to start me out. I was kinda freaked out by it too 😅

It was starting to hit her as she turned up the volume in her car.

She rolled down the driver side window halfway and looked out to the cornflower colored sky.

The lyrics that left her lips weren't meant for who she was seen with, they were meant for those she had seen. She bellowed into the passing atmosphere what could be mustered from so little given to her. Thoughts ran through her head like bees passed in meadows, soft and fluttering. She only wanted a love like the ones played on the radio.

Lyrics:

I had to escape

The city was sticky and cruel

Maybe I should have called you first

But I was dying to get to you

I was dreaming while I drove

The long straight road ahead, uh, huh

Could taste your sweet kisses

Your arms open wide

This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

Crept in your room

Woke you from your sleep

To make love to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

What in this world

Keep us from tearing apart

No matter where I go I hear

The beating of your heart

I think about you

When the night is cold and dark

No one can move me

The way that you do

Nothing erases the feeling between me and you

I drove all night to get to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

Crept in your room

Woke you from your sleep

To make love to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

Could taste your sweet kisses

Your arms open wide

This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

Crept in your room

Woke you from your sleep

To make love to you

I drove all night

I drove all night

Taste your sweet kisses

Your arms open wide

This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I Drove All Night by Cyndi Lauper

The worst one of this is "I Drove All Night" because there is actual debate about which version IS the original.

The song was written for Roy Orbison, and he recorded it in 1987, but it wasn't released. Cyndi Lauper then recorded it in 1989 and charted with it. Orbison's version was released after his death, in 1992. So Orbison recorded it first while Lauper released it first. So it depends on your definition of "first." Generally, the Lauper version is considered the OG since it was the first version heard by the public or released on a label.

Just as long as you're not out here saying Celine's version is the OG.

(btw "I Drove All Night" is one of the greatest songs in pop history and pretty much all the versions of it slap in different ways}

nothing more sobering than realizing you'd been assuming a cover of a song was the original...like oh phew if the wrong person found out about that i couldve been killed

Céline Dion - I Drove All Night (Official Video)

An old favorite and maybe one of the sexiest and passionate music videos ever. Just my opinion of course.
