I can across this song while watching a show/TV series on Netflix. The melody caught my ear and I wanted to learn more about the song and the band. The Weepies released their first album in 2003.

When You Were Mine
“When You Were Mind” was originally written by Prince and was released on his 1980’s album Dirty Mind. Cyndi Lauper also recorded a cover version of the song that was a mid-tempo ballad and was included on her 1983 album She’s So Unusual.

I am not the greatest of writers as many of you can attest to but I decided I wanted a place where I could put my thoughts, opinions, ideas, or anything of interest for others to see.
