If you are constantly searching YouTube for video clips that will trigger an autonomous sensory meridian response, look no further than this performance by American pop musician Pink, whose cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" hits all the ASMR check marks. This song dates back to 1983, and the original is amazing, but the rendition by Pink has so much emotion that it brings about tingling goosebumps.

ASMR is that unexpected feeling you get when listening to an audio track that has an exceptionally pleasant segment. The feeling typically starts at the back of your neck or the pate of your head before getting goosebumps; it is a tactile, auditory, and unconscious reaction that in the end is very positive, reports Very Well Mind. You will likely get it from Pink's "Time After Time," and not because this is the reaction she was aiming for. There is something about her vocal style that triggers ASMR.

If you are too young to remember Cyndi Lauper in the 1980s, the first thing you should know is that she wrote "Time After Time" from beginning to end; she was inspired by one of those cerebral science fiction movies that were very popular from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, reports Songfacts.

The film in particular was "Time After Time" starring Malcolm McDowell. Similar interesting movies from that period include "The Man Who Fell to Earth" starring David Bowie and "Death Watch" starring Harvey Keitel.

Since we are going through a period of 1980s nostalgia, many artists have set about performing Cyndi Lauper covers because they are simply great songs. It is important to give credit to Rob Hyman for his writing contribution to "Time After Time;" he has written tunes that have been made famous by Latin pop and reggae artists.

There are theories about what makes so many songs from the 1980s so irresistible; one theory points to the zeitgeist of the era, which was underscored by a very high, and possibly unrealistic, self-esteem current fueled by the self-help movement. Many songwriters applied the visualization technique to their songs because they were convinced everyone would love them.
