Total Eclipse of the Heart
performer:
Bonnie Tyler
composer:
Jim Steinman
lyrics:
Jim Steinman
Jim Steinman寫了很多歌給Meat Loaf唱, 原本有兩首歌也準備要給他的, 但因財政關係Meat Loaf沒有買到. 結果這兩首歌就分別到了一位歌手和一隊樂隊手.
今次介紹的Total Eclipse of The Heart由Bonnie Tyler所唱, 而另一首Making Love Out of Nothing At All則給了澳洲的 Air Supply. 怪不得這兩首差不多同期的超流行曲那麼相似, 原來有這麼的一段淵源.
這首歌是收錄在1983年Tyler的Faster Than the Speed of Night大碟, 歌曲長達6:56. 後來有另一剪輯過的4:30版本, 就是今日播給你和在收音機通常會聽到的版本.
Bonnie Tyler也因為這首歌創出一個記錄: 它是第一首由女歌手唱的歌曲打進了UK Chart的No. 1, 之前只有組合和男歌手的歌. 那是1983年的事, 可見之前英國歌壇還是有些保守.
Bonnie有一幅沙啞富帶磁性的嗓音, 但這並不是天生的. 1976年, 她經歷聲帶手術後, 由於沒有遵照醫生指示而使得聲音更加沙啞, 但這反而令她的事業更上高峰, 可算是塞翁失馬, 焉知非福.
順帶一提, 這是一首很難唱得好聽的歌, 卻有不少人曾經翻唱過. 我們香港的鄭秀雯我覺得是當中唱得最難聽的一個版本了; 而最好聽的, 還是由Bonnie Tyler唱的.
奉勸一句, 除非閣下聲藝非凡, 否則千萬別在卡拉ok唱這首歌, 必死.

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 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
Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around, every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be
Turn around, every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turn around, every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you
Turn around, every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do
Turn around, bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart (*)
