Song interpreted: time after time by cyndi Lauper

Song info: Cyndi Lauper co-wrote the song during a vulnerable moment in her life, after becoming famous but feeling emotionally isolated. It almost didn’t make the album, but Lauper fought for it — and it became her most enduring hit. It is a tender, emotional ballad about being there for someone no matter what, having unwavering love, but also about the vulnerability that comes with deep connection — waiting, catching, and forgiving through all the ups and downs.

Aida’s Description: In Arabic, Aida means “the one who always returns” — and that is how I choose to love: by always showing up for the people I care about. This painting is set against a darker background to reflect the unpredictable moments in life — the times when we need to know someone will stand by us. The flying flowers symbolize devotion that moves with the wind — love that travels, adapts, and always finds its way back. It is a tribute to the kind of love that never leaves.
