“Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac (1976)
Now this song was extremely personal to write for Lindsey Buckingham, lead guitarist of Fleetwood Mac. “Go Your Own Way” was initially released in the year 1976. The track exposed the pain Buckingham had been feeling at the time things were ending between him and lead singer Stevie Nicks. Although Nicks hated the part of the song that goes, “Packing up, shacking up is all you wanna do,” Buckingham refused to remove it from the song.

“Time After Time”, Cyndi Lauper’s ballad, is one remarkable song. In fact, it ranks high on the list of powerful songs that she has released, not to mention, anyone has ever released as far as ballads as concerned. No one had the slightest idea that the story behind the tune was about a person she was very close to. When Lauper was just starting out as a singer, David Wolff was not only her manager but also her boyfriend during that time. Wolff inspired the hit song and powerful ballad.
