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.

Tell Me Why
Cindy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

すれ違う Night and day
アスファルトの隙間から
新しいもの欲しがって
愚か者はまた恋に落ちてく

いくらそばにいてもわからない
誰か教えて Tell me why
同じ部類でも二人は違う

流れる景色もキスの味も

感じれればいい悲しいなんて
目を覚まして
信じるだけでいい自分の瞳
Oh どんな時も

愛はいつも Hide and seek
熱い想いは課さない
惹かれ合って生まれてく
真っ赤な私を笑って Lazy moon

優しくしなかったわけじゃない
何が違うの？ Tell me why
言葉一つでも変わってしまう
抱きしめる胸も自由の意味も

感じていたいよ幸せだけを
振り向かないで No no
さよならなんてない私を泣かない
明日がある

Yo this is what I'm gonna do
I'll give up my posse and my hair for you
All the foolin' is coolin' and this foolin' around
All my lady best friends and the keys to my Benz

いくらそばにいてもわからない
誰か教えて Tell me why
同じ部類でも二人は違う
流れる景色もキスの味も

感じれればいい悲しいなんて
Oh 目を覚まして
信じるだけでい自分の瞳
どんな時も
感じていたいよ幸せだけを
振り向かないで No no
さよならなんてない私は泣かない
明日がある

忘れてしまえばいい昨日の事なんて
空を見上げて
何も知りたくない、つまらない言葉なら

Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
迷ってみたいだけ、心が愛しい

Overall Meaning

Cindy's song "Tell Me Why" speaks about the complexities of love and relationships. It portrays that people often desire new things despite being in a relationship with someone because of their human nature. The first stanza describes how people are always seeking new things, and the fools fall in love blindly, unable to differentiate between love and desire. The second part emphasizes that sometimes even when someone is near, it's difficult to understand them; they want to be taught what makes a relationship different even when they both belong to the same category. The third part highlights that despite sharing the same qualities, they are still different and want to experience different things, be it the taste of a kiss or the view they see.

In the chorus, Cindy explains that love always plays hide and seeks with people and doesn't demand the excess emotions. It is simple and pure and if someone realizes and experiences it, it's enough to feel happy. She emphasizes the fact that love shouldn't be about regrets or breakups, instead urges to live in the present and not look back.
