1. Mayumi Ya… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least four artists under the name "Cindy":
1. Mayumi Yamamoto (山本真裕美, born May 5, 1958), known solely by her stage name Cindy, was a Japanese singer-songwriter, active as a singer from 1984 to 1997 and as a songwriter from 1984 to 1998.
She is probably best known for her song "私達を信じていて", and composing multiple Number One hits for Miho Nakayama, namely "人魚姫", "Witches" and "ROSÉCOLOR".
She passed away due to cancer at the age of 42 in Los Angeles, on January 12th, 2001.
2. A pop punk group from Auckland New Zealand
3. Kai Hugo, the dutch house producer rebranded himself as Palmbomen II in 2015 and released an ace album of psychedelic acid jams on Beats In Space. He named all the tracks on that record after various minor characters from episodes of The X-Files, but one of them – ‘Cindy Savalas’ – stuck somehow.
His next album, Memories of Cindy, filled in a fictional biography. Cindy lived in the small Californian town of Carmel Vista and died in mysterious circumstances. Hugo hired actor and model Blue LoLãn to give a face and voice to the character, and she sang on a few of the tracks – notably its blistering highlight, ‘Are You Friends with Amber?’.
Now Cindy has her own album – a pretty good, shoegaze-tinged dream pop record, recorded before the character’s ‘death’, with a loose narrative about her life, loves, and heartbreaks. LoLãn is front and centre, singing and talking on every track, breathing life into a character that has become an uncanny avatar for both LoLãn and Hugo.
4. San Franciso based group fronted by Karina Gill, together with Aaron Diko, Jesse Jackson and Simon Phillips. They released their first self-titled album in 2018, followed by Free Advice in 2020 and 1:2 in 2021. They are due to release a new album, Why Not Now?, on 14th April 2023.
Lost On Me
Cindy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Cindy's song "Lost On Me" convey a deep appreciation for the beauty that is presented, both externally and internally. The singer acknowledges that while they may appear calm and focused on something beyond the surface, they are still aware and captivated by the beauty that surrounds them. The suggestion to change the phrase "can't see the forest for the trees" is an invitation to perceive things in a different way, to recognize the individuality within the collective.
The song then shifts its focus to the uncertainty and unpredictability of the city, comparing it to a guessing game. The singer questions what is truly happening in front of them, wondering if the actions they observe are innocent, like someone tying their shoe, or if there is something darker concealed beneath the surface. The phrase "a good man is hard to find" is mentioned, reflecting the singer's skepticism about finding genuine kindness or sincerity amidst the complexities of urban life.
However, throughout the song, the underlying message remains that the beauty and authenticity displayed by others will forever leave an impression on the singer. They recognize that whatever name or label is given to these experiences, it will stick with them forever. The final repetition of "your beauty is not lost on me" reaffirms the singer's awareness and admiration for the beauty that exists in the world, even if it may go unnoticed by others.
Line by Line Meaning
Your beauty is not lost on me
I am fully aware of and appreciate your beauty
though i may seem calm
even though I may appear calm
focused on some point before
my attention is fixed on a distant point
focused some place beyond
focused on something beyond my immediate surroundings
you're tempted to apply the phrase
you are tempted to use a certain expression
but change it just for me
but modify it specifically for me
you say i can't see the forest
you claim that I cannot see the bigger picture
because i'm one of the trees
because I am caught up in the details
but whatever it is you show me
but regardless of what you reveal to me
it'll take my lifetime to unsee
it will take a lifetime for me to forget or unsee
the city is a guessing game
the city is full of uncertainty and unknowns
what's happening in front of me?
what is currently occurring right in front of me?
is that guy bent down to tie his shoe
is that man crouching to tie his shoe
or shooting up between his toes?
or is he injecting drugs between his toes?
i'm tempted to apply the phrase
I am tempted to use a particular expression
but change it just for tonight
but modify it exclusively for tonight
to a good man is hard to find
to describe the difficulty of finding a good man
or so says mr. Right
according to the opinion of Mr. Right
but whatever it is you call it
but whatever term you use for it
that'll be its name for me
that will be the name I associate with it
like a can on a shelf
similar to a can placed on a shelf
or the blank back of a knee
or the empty space behind a knee
the artifice of the obvious
the deliberate fabrication of the evident
alone can make us free
can actually grant us freedom
so i'm tempted to apply the phrase
thus, I am tempted to use the expression
stamp it on eternity
permanently mark it on existence
hang it from the doorknob dear
place it prominently, my dear
what you get is what you see
what you receive is exactly what you perceive
your beauty is not lost on me
I truly acknowledge and appreciate your beauty
