I’m sure it blew your mind when you found out this was written by Jim Steinman who wrote all of Meat Loaf’s songs.
This is so Jim Steinman - you can imagine Meat Loaf doing his own version just as theatrical and over the top. Would love to see competing versions including videos. Mind blowing.
God I’m so happy to have grown up in the 80’s❤❤❤
He also wrote for Celina Dion, Air Supply, Barry Manilow, Sisters of Mercy, etc.
Well, the Steinman and Meat Loaf team did produce many fine songs, but Meat Loaf did material from many different writers over the years. One fine example of this is "I'd Lie For You (And That's The Truth)" which was written by Diane Warren.
This song was originally meant to be in a musical about Vampires. It actually was included 2002 in the originally planned Dance of the Vampires musical...and the song became popular again.
Bonnie Tyler legendary... Dear God, bring back the 80s please.. thank you Amen this is the original version and only version in my opinion.
yes yes
Anything pre 90’s would be wonderful.
Somewhere along the way we lost the emotion. Now everything needs to be broody and serious or it will be considered "cringe".
I would like the same 4 the 70s. She had a hit in the 70s ALSO Its a Heart ache
Except for some of the videos... like this one.
I've said it before, it was the 80s and music videos had zero rules. We LOVED it.
exactly! I feel for everyone who didn't experience the 80's at that time
That's because it became a whole new industry in 1981 when MTV was created and went live.
My absolute favorite, in those early days, for the artistry, was a-ha"s Take Me On. (1982?)
@@scotiabound3547 Oh yes!!!
So true!
@@scotiabound3547 Exactly! Music videos were like a new medium, and as with any new medium, you see the absolute wildest shit in its earliest stages as everyone is trying new things and testing its limits. Early music videos were student films, sometimes literally.
It's a Heartache by Bonnie Tyler. Trust - you'll love it❣️
My favorite of hers!!!
I was coming to the comments to say the same thing.
I will also recommend this. You want raspy. This will give you raspy.
A must! I also love her version of Livin' For The City.
🥺🙏🏽
Holding Out for a Hero is an ABSOLUTE MUST!
Yessss
The entire Footloose soundtrack is great.
footloose !!!!! hahah grew to love this song thanks to that movie! as if it was difficult to love or something ;/
lol lisen to the very beginning of this video, he says holding out for a hero is one of his favorite songs.
Remember David Copperfield levitating across the Grand Canyon to literally that Song , one of the most bizarre things ever😂😂😂.
"Her voice is kind of raspy and they left that in there." Yes, BP, they left it in there because back in the day, singers could sing. There was no autotune to remove the raspy uniqueness from her voice and make it "perfect" Music is not about perfect. AIs can make music, and it will be perfect, but it will not have any heart or soul.
Yup. Sometimes the raspy is the point.
It's rock and roll... Bonnie is a Rock and Roll Diva.
AI is stealing the soul from music. Bonnie got soul.
I remember listening to Casey Kasem in 1984 on his Weekly Top 40 talk about this song. Bonnie Tyler had a throat issue that required surgery. After the surgery, the doctors said she'd never sing again...then she did this. The by-product of the surgery was her signature rasp.
@@jasonbailey2000 iirc, it was polyps in her throat.
Huskiness with a touch of her Welsh accent = magesticall
Unique and powerful - love her voice!
can we get a Bonnie Tyler/Ren duet with them sining in their native tounge????? PLEASE??!?!?!?!?!
80’s videos are like a bad drug trip. Her voice is this way because she had vocal cord surgery. This is the original version.
MTV started in 1981, this song is from 1983. The rules for music videos had not yet been written.
No, read the words, its about a Vampire and a girl loses the ability to fall in love once she's been bitten, once she lived in the light, not there is only darkness.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee You're right, music videos were made in the 60s and 70s (in fact music videos go back much further depending on what you class as a 'music video'), but these were mostly low budget affairs, short promo clips, made for TV music shows or clips from Music films (like Hard Days Night, Grease, Saturday Night Fever, etc).
It wasn't until the 80s that film producers started to produce high quality music videos just for the promotion of a single track and multi million budgets were made available by labels to tap into this new avenue of promoting music. When MTV launched in 1981 British bands had a head-start because many UK labels had already been using independent film directors to send videos to European and UK TV channels from the mid 1970s (in fact MTV didn't actually launch in the UK until 1987, so mainstream TV music programmes continued to be the main way to promote videos in the UK).
@@davidjames3080yep, it was Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody that blew up vids in the UK. They were going to be on tour when the single was released so they did the vid to send to Top of the Pops, which then got inundated for it to be shown every week.
Rory Dodd sang the "turn around" part in Bonnie Tyler's version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart". Dodd is a Canadian rock vocalist who has performed many songs written by Jim Steinman, the song's composer. Steinman originally wrote the song as a duet, with Dodd singing the male part and Tyler showcasing her voice. Dodd also sang backing vocals for many of Meat Loaf's songs.
❤
how voice is silk.
He is also the "uncredited" lead vocalist on many of the songs from Jim Steinman's only "solo" album, "Bad For Good"
"living in a powder keg and giving off sparks" one of the best lines ever
I always thought that too!
such a fucking bar
Another line from Jum Steinman, "Hose me down with holy water if I get too hot"
A movie production company contracted Jim Steinman to have a song written for the movie. This was the song he wrote, and the original title was "Love Amongst the Vampires". So, think about that for awhile.
This song reached #1 on the Billboard chart. The #2 song was "Making Love out of Nothing At All" by Air Supply, also written by Jim Steinman.
A feat I don't think have been matched as Lennon and McCartney alternated their credits between Lennon/McCartney and McCartney/Lennon as they didn't want one of them to be placed above the other for their whole career.
Bonnie Tyler also did a cover version of Making Love out of nothing...
A gazillion times better than the original.
Air Supply are from Australia but living in America now
To say this song was big when I was in high school is a big understatement. In 1983/84, probably 93.373% of high school proms had this as their theme song. The video was made during the golden age of the MTV era of the 80's, that's why for funky visuals, but it did help with interpreting more of what the song was about. Bonnie is a Welsh singer, and her raspy voice was caused from her having nodes on her vocal cords at one time.
I love all the ladies of the 80s! Pat Benatar, Kim Carnes, The B-52s, Annie Lennox, Joan Jett, Belinda Carlisle, Taylor Dayne, Lita Ford! The list goes on and on!!
Annie Lennox Song, Sweet Dreams immediately came to mind, definitely a favorite.
They were the best years. Hit after hit after hit.. don't forget Cyndy Lauper.. Sam Brown, Renee Geyer.. Colleen Hewett.
Don’t forget Alison Moyet!
Do, It’s a Heartache. Best raspiness, ever. And it will break ya.
💯👍🔥
Her rasp is her trademark sound…. I used to think of her as a female Rod Stewart when this sing was out. The video style is very 80’s. Her stuff is fire🔥
She did not have it in her earlier songs in the 1970s like Lost in France but it is a result of a vocal cord nodule operation in the mid to late 1970s
Yes! Same! Very Rod Stewart-esque 🇦🇺🐨🇦🇺
Couldn't agree more! 🤙
Her and Kim Carnes have very unique voices.
Bonnie Tyler=
“HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO”
is a great , rocking song , really get to hear her voice even better!!?
If you like her “raspy” voice this is it!!?
fun fact, this song was written from the perspective of a vampire in love and its original title was 'Vampires in Love'.
Everyone was on drugs in the 80s, so stop trying to figure out what we were doing. We don't even know what we were doing...lol.
Jim Steinman compositions are easy to spot if you're a 70s and 80s kid. They're usually epics. That's it. Simple, right? 🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
A few years ago I watched "Streets of Fire" for the first time. Didn't even have to look at the credits I instantly recognized Jim's songs.
She had vocal cord surgery, was told not to sing for a period of time ... she did not listen and the end result is her fabulous voice here.
I only wished I could hear Bonnie and Rod Stewart sing a song together...
theres a song called battle of the sexes which they did together
Rod Stewart and Kim Carnes would be great too.
That would be good
@@chrishughes168I'll check that
Bonnie and Shakin Stevens were great on Rockin good way
Probably my favorite raspy 1980s female vocalist was Kim Carnes. Didn't hurt she was drop dead, but "Betty Davis Eyes" been on every playlist I've had since streaming music started.
We really didn't spend a lot of time analyzing 80s videos, unless we were messed up on something. 😉 Music is much more visual today.
I mostly had MTV on in the 80's playing in the background like a radio. I paid attention to some, but not so much this one. I never noticed how weird the video is until I started watching reactors watch video/ music I grew up on. Some songs I wish they would listen to without the video, some songs need the video. It's mixed
@@LadybugLuv Owner of a Lonely Heart seemed like the most analyzed video I recall. And the guys always watched Pat Benatar because of the spandex 🤣
🧐u judging me woman 👩 😒 😔 😤 😅😮😢🎉I listen 🎶 to this on FM RADIO 📻 TURN AROUND BRIGHT EYES 🤩
Love Bonnie Tyler! Check out "Hero" from Footloose...
A lot of the video's in the 80's were conceptual, & not always the easiest to interpret, we had to use our imagination, which was part of the fun 😊
This is Bonnie’s song, no one else has recorded it. Song was written by Jim Steinman who worked with Meatloaf. This was originally written for a musical that was a vampire love story. Try her Holding Out For a Hero from the Footloose soundtrack.
Rob Halford of Judas Priest and Doro Pesch recently recorded a cover of this
Exit Eden also did a cover in 2017.
There have been at least 112 covers of this song.
@@neillenet291 The Hurra Torpedo cover is objectively the best one
@ParadoxBaklash subjectively maybe. "objectively" means not influenced by personal opinions 😀
The rasp comes from prior damage. She had surgery and therapy, but the rasp was permanent. So she just used it to her advantage. When I was a young kid in the 80's, I would refer to Bonnie as the female Rod Stewart.
The doctor told her not to sing. She couldn't help herself and sang anyway. Ruined her voice permanently, but it was a blessing because she gave us all the wonderful songs after all.
Written by the legend Jim Steinman. He wrote the two Meatloaf 'Bat Out of Hell' albums, and 'Making Love Out of Nothing at All' for Air Supply, as well as 'It's All Coming Back To Me Now' most famously performed by Celene Dion. His stuff has this theatric, almost operatic quality.
Interesting backstory. She was working in a chocolate factory and her coworkers overheard her singing and suggested she try singing for a living.
Not true
she had voice box problems, she kept it, made an iconic voice
Except having the cigarette tone voice is NOT a problem it's an essential must for great rock and roll vocals.
@@caskur1 She had vocal cord surgery in the 1970s, so I am not sure what you are talking about with the cigarettes. That information is easy to find, and I heard about it decades ago.
@@ellenjones7819 ??? Cigarette voice is known by everyone who hears a voice like Bonnie, Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart. It sounds like they smoke 10 packets a day. It's not that difficult to understand, except for maybe you.
@@ellenjones7819 it's a description not a literal comment... I am not literally saying she smokes. It's called a cigarette tone.
Yes, Bonnie Tyler sings "I Need a Hero" and it's also in the 1984 movie Footloose.
Jennifer Saunders from the UK covered I Need A Hero in Shrek 2, I believe. Bonnie rules!
Bells Palsy, temporary but alarming when you can't move half of your face. Love this song one of my favorites. Hope you play Annie Lennox, Sweet Dreams. Thanks Black Pegasus!👍❤️
Bro, stop focusing on and trying to figure out 1980's videos, LOL.
I’ve just got to say that I absolutely love when you talk and share. That’s the whole point of reactions, isn’t it? All these people who complain when you pause and talk, and those who don’t have enough of a sense of humor to “get it” should just move along and go straight to the actual song video instead of leaving negative feedback. With how incredibly easy it is to access literally everything these days…seriously people…do better.
To you, BP…keep up the amazing reactions. While I follow several other reaction channels, you are, by far, my favorite. Don’t let the haters dictate your vibe.
If you ever get the inclination to react to an amazing “lullaby-esque” sing, give “Return to Pooh Corner” by Kenny Loggins a whirl. You’ll be singing it to your daughters forever. I’m dying to see your reaction to that one.
Kudos, bravo and atta boy! Love you, man!
You need to watch the literal version of this song. The lyrics describe what's going on in the video and it's hilarious.
This!
that is the most fun thing about watching reactors: the "wtf" face when they see an 80's video 🤣🤣
In addition to the wonderful Bonnie, the "Jim Steiman band" contributed to this song, namely:
Rick Derringer - guitar
Steve Buslowe - bass guitar
Roy Bittan - piano
Larry Fast - synthesizers
Steve Margoshes - additional synthesizers
Max Weinberg - drums
Jimmy Maelen - percussion
Rory Dodd - featured and backing vocals
Eric Troyer, Holly Sherwood (I love Holly ♥♥♥) - backing vocals
BP- the most important thing to know about 80’s videos is that they usually have nothing to do with the song.!
Bonnie Tyler's from my area of the woods, her husband owned nightclubs in Swansea I believe. I remember one year she was at The Reading Rock Festival in UK, she followed Meatloaf. It was the days when bottles and cans flew around the ground. When meatloaf came on, cans flew at him, he walked off lol. Bonnie came on next, cans flew at her, she chested one down and kicked it into the crowd, loud cheer, no more cans. Bonnie Tyler - legend.
This is the original version. The "Turn around" part in the intro was by Rory Dodd. It was originally written by Jim Steinman for Meat Loaf but he declined it (the album version of this is nearly 7 minutes long!) By the way, Bonnie Tyler is Welsh and her real name is Gaynor Hopkins.
Yes, Bonnie Tyler is the a original artist.
Another 80s classic.
The early days of MTV were totally insane. What a time to be alive.
omg so true! Duran Duran vids were the best. :D
@@JonniPants We had the BEST Videos of any Era in the 80s!
I heard in a trivia the very first music video was Barry Manilow's I Write the Songs.
Great reaction! Yes, I need another hero was also sung by Bonnie Tyler. This song was written by the great Jim Steinman. Great song!! ❤❤❤❤
BP is taking me all the way through stuff I forgot about in the 1980s between 4th and 12th grades. This is great.
Have weall seen the TikTok where the dog actually turns around, smiling, tail wagging, expecting a treat? If not, go watch it, it's the cutest, wholesomestest ever.
Also: My mom's favorite song. Thanks for one of our few good memories, B.P.!
Jim Steinman had the number one and number two songs for a period of time in 1983:
Total Eclipse of the Heart, and Making Love out of Nothing at all, by Air Supply.
Jim Steinman (wrote song) sings the turn around part and is playing the piano. He wrote Meatloaf’s songs.
This is the original version of this song even though she didn't write it. Back in the day, she was often called the female Rod Stewart because of the rasp. 'It's a Heartache' is a great one as well.
I always had a different take than most. I felt it was more about the man represented by backup singing "Turn around Bright Eyes" than the woman represented by Bonnie Tyler. He's a friend zoned dude watching the woman he loves chasing after a player who doesn't love her. Her heart is breaking and he's begging her to run around and see him. He wants to love and protect her, but she ignores him.
She was a Welsh belter, one who can belt out a tune, in the same vein as Tom Jones or Shirley Bassey.
She still is!
We raised our son on 70s and 80s music. What we didn't cover, Shrek filled in for us. Introduced him to Holding Out for a Hero and when he went in search of the song, he found Bonnie Tyler. He said "Okay, whoever sang it in Shrek did good but this Bonnie Tyler! Mom!" (I made him watch Footloose after that. And then introduced him to The Breakfast Club and he has his feet firmly planted in the 80s now.)
The best form of parenting there is!
I loved this song from Bonnie Tyler, such a great voice. Yes, there was certainly some great music in the 1980s! Other fab songs from Bonnie Tyler are 'It's a Heartache' and 'Holding Out for a Hero'.
Somewhere on youtube there's a funny video of a dog listening to this song and turning around everytime she sings that.
This woman sings like a million epic songs. She's like a hit factory! I couldn't complete remember what song she had as I had to go look real quick before I commented but I just looked and saw a ton of songs that were very popular in the 80's, 90's, and she's still creating music in 2024 (as far as I know.) A bunch of the songs I saw have been covered by several different artists in the past 40 years or so. ❤❤❤😊
This song will always be my guilty pleasure of that chorus turn around right as I love it It's I don't know I just catches me every time.
Roxette did it a really great cover of this song and there's an amazing techno song cover of this from like the early 2000s. I can't remember who did it though
It was originally written as a vampire love song which explains some of the darker themes.
This is definitely Bonnie's song!! Original version, she has that pretty, low, high, and sexy voice!! I'm so into the 80's music, love singing'um and dancing, yeah this 61 year old lady, lol , totally love ya man ❤❤❤❤
It sounds like she is singing her own background vocals. They are doubling or tripling them. With a slight delay between them. This is so old it wasn't digital it was probably a 4 track tape
This was some kind of concept piece written for a vampire musical that never happened, written in the rock opera style. It is the original version, though it was cut down for radio since it is so long. Bonnie didn't write it herself. I can't remember the name, but I know the guy wrote my favorite song for Air Supply and I think he might have written some songs for Meatloaf, too. I believe the male singer was someone from her band.
So glad someone brought up the vampire musical. It's Tanz der Vampire. ETA -- Dance of the Vampires.
I feel like back then they used to just throw a bunch of weird images together just so they could have a video to go on mtv. Jon Bon Jovi quit letting it happen to them! 😂 he said absolutely no more
They were still in the learning phase making videos, so a lot of ridiculous and cheesy ones.
Her famous song that you most likely heard is "It's a heart ache"
I seen an interview with Bonnie Tyler, she said she was surprised how many people played this song at their wedding because the song was about vampires.
15 year old me listening to this song after a breakup over and over on vinyl. The good old days. 😂 Absolutely love this song!
Jim Steinman wrote this song with Meat Loaf in mind to sing it. it was originally a vampire love song but was re-worked for Bonnie Tyler. It hit no.1 and kept Air Supply's "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" at no.2 which was also a Jim Steinman song.
Thanks for that lovely pop culture history gem. Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" is a grandiose and powerful monster jam that I sing at the top of my lungs anytime it surprises me when it comes on my treasure box of randomness playlist.
Yes Bonnie sings I need a hero
She's the only person who sang this song
Nicki French did a dance cover version in 1995. I bought the cd single lol
Bonnie Tyler sang "Holding Out for a Hero" for the film Footloose. That song was written by Jim Steinman, who wrote many of Meat Loaf's best songs (like I'll Do Anything for Love). That song features elements from a Jim Steinman song called "Stark Raving Love" from his solo album "Bad for Good".
This song is also written by Jim Steinman, Bonnie Tyler originated the song, though Meat Loaf claimed Steinman wrote it for him and Steinman denied that. The singer doing a duet is Rory Dodd, he has done backup vocals as well as lead vocals on a few Meat Loaf and Steinman songs
Got to hear her "It's a Heartache" next!
Her and Kate Bush are two of my favourite female voices ever!
Fun fact, this song was originally written for a vampire musical.
The music video and lyrics take on a different meaning when viewing from this perspective.
Another lost singer is the late Laura Brannigan. She had a powerful controlled voice. Two of her great songs were Self Control and Ti Amo
He reacted to Self Control a few weeks back
I love her song Gloria
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" is the lead single by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler from her fifth studio album, Faster Than the Speed of Night (1983) written and produced by Jim Steinman and recorded in 1982, released as a single by CBS/Columbia in 1983.
and meatloaf sings "turn around"
Holding Out For A Hero ..... classic
Another Welsh legend
banger,banger. So glad my 3 daughters all like 80s and classic rock.so we still jam to all this
Super early 80's videos were very avant-garde. It was the dawning of music videos so sometimes they didn't make a whole lot of sense.
The video was made around the time MTV started when videos exploded in production values and budget. Duran Duran broke the record with a multi-million dollar Wild Boys video and there was a big push to create the most movie-like music videos possible.
Now, when you are in this rabbit hole, Holding out for a hero...
Her stuff kind of falls in the Meat Loaf genre to me, sort of the operatic theatric stuff with lots of pace change and vocal range. It's not an exact comparison, no one is Meta Loaf.
Don’t feel too bad. No one understood the premise of this video when it came out. She definitely had a unique voice and so much power
I Need a Hero is Bonnie from the movie Footloose. ECLIPSE is so Great and Bonnie was never supposed to sing again because of Cancer. ❤️👍
😭😣😖😥😢😵😵💫🥴bright eyes 👀 🤩
BTW, most of us dig your humor!!!
Good timing... I am listening to this on the 13th of June 2024...
I was 13 when the love of my life was taken, hit by a truck on the way to school on Friday the 10th June 1983, 3 days before her 13th birthday on the 13th June. We were young and just starting to understand love, and feelings, and all of that awkward stuff.
Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler was the first song playing on the Saturday music channel the next morning and summed up how I was feeling. My world had crashed in on me and I didn't know how to go on. All I could do from then was wake up, go through the motions, and do what I had to do.
Just about every line in the song sums up that last 41 years.
The pain never fully goes away, but I just get better at dealing with it, and I now give myself this 3 day weekend to grieve and cry every year, and every other day I tackle with joy, love and hope, which is exactly what Linda would have wanted me to do.
Forever did start that night,
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
LYRICS...
Turn around, every now and then
I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turn around, every now and then
I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turn around, every now and then
I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turn around, every now and then
I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, every now and then
I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turn around, every now and then
I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turn around, every now and then
I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turn around, every now and then
I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow
On me all of the time
I don't know what to do
And I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg a
And giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow
On me all of the time
I don't know what to do
And I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg
And giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around bright eyes
Turn around bright eyes, turn around
Its a great song. She is in a better place and would want you to move forward and live your life. Cherish the memory but also live your life. Our time in this world is limited.
Interesting 🤔. I was born on June 13th.
RIP for your loved one.
Great song! BP, for more female raspy voice, check out Kim Carnes "Bettie Davis Eyes".
I saw a little snippet of Jim Steinman talking about the mechanics of writing this song. He was sitting at a piano and he just played with the keys and sang some lines to demonstrate how the song came about. It was one big fascination. What a superstar songwriter he was for so many artists. RIP to an absolute giant of music!
She was on a cruise ship for the total eclipse 7 years ago and people heard her sing this during a total eclipse
They played this song in Greenville SC during the Total Eclipse in 2016. They timed it PERFECT! Local radio station played Dark Side of the Moon TIMED PERFECT!
This was written by Jim Steinman, who wrote songs for Meat Loaf, Celine Dion, and Air Supply among others. Rory Dodd is singing here with Bonnie. He's a Canadian singer who worked a lot with Jim Steinman. Check out her songs "Holding Out For A Hero" from Footloose and "It's a Heartache".
I need a hero is Bonnie Tyler!
11 year old me was in love with her when this came out
" IT`S A HEARTACHE " BY BONNIE TYLER, YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY !!
LOL Your reaction to the video was priceless when it gets freaking scary with those demon alter boys glowing eyes and wild men in caveman garb, bird with large wings, teacher student relationship vibes at the end. Yea, this was one video I watched a handful of times when it came out because it creeped me out but the song, amazing, powerful, monster ballad of the 80s and one that I sing at the top of my lungs at least once a year.
The glowing eyes blow the romantic feeling of the song! You can tell Meatloaf produced this orcostration
he's in it.
This song is on my 'forever playlist'.
Love that I grew up at a time where music like this was in rotation.
I do admit sometimes music videos can ruin first time experiences to a song just cause most ppl heard these songs on the radio for the first time
I can only interpret this as a dream sequence, then she starts as a teacher the next morning and all the kids from her dream are the students. Nothing else makes sense to me.
Every woman's anthem! Huge respect for her. The video doesn't have to interpret what you feel with a song. Girls, give me an amen!
Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler first recorded "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in 1982 and released it in 1983 on her fifth studio album, Faster Than the Speed of Night. Jim Steinman wrote and produced the song, which is considered a pop rock and power pop ballad.He also wrote songs for Meatloaf.
My wife and I were at the next table to her and her Musical Director in Villamoura Portugal, where she has a house. She spent about 5 minutes debating if she should have some bread.
Sis she choose to have it?
@@jenniferpearce1052 She picked up a slice, looked at it , then shook her head vigorously and put it back in the basket.
Check out the version recorded by Rob Halford of Judas Priest and Doro Pesch. Great song.
