Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart (Turn Around)

 

Σήμερα, στη «Μουσική Πρόταση της Εβδομάδας», συνεχίζουμε το αφιέρωμά μας στη σπουδαία Bonnie Tyler με το εμβληματικό «Total Eclipse of the Heart», ένα από τα διαχρονικότερα τραγούδια της παγκόσμιας μουσικής σκηνής.

Η σπουδαία ερμηνεύτρια έφυγε από τη ζωή την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα, αφήνοντας πίσω της μια σπουδαία μουσική παρακαταθήκη και τραγούδια που θα συνεχίσουν να συγκινούν γενιές ακροατών. Το «Total Eclipse of the Heart» παραμένει μέχρι σήμερα το πιο εμβληματικό έργο της, ένα αριστούργημα γεμάτο συναίσθημα, πάθος και νοσταλγία που σημάδεψε τη δεκαετία του '80 και εξακολουθεί να ακούγεται σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο.Πριν το απολαύσουμε, αξίζει να θυμηθούμε λίγα λόγια για ένα από τα πιο εμβληματικά τραγούδια της δεκαετίας του '80:

Το "Total Eclipse of the Heart" κυκλοφόρησε το 1983 και αποτελεί τη μεγαλύτερη επιτυχία της Bonnie Tyler. Το τραγούδι γράφτηκε από τον θρυλικό δημιουργό Jim Steinman, ο οποίος του χάρισε τον χαρακτηριστικό, θεατρικό και δραματικό του ήχο.

Με τη μοναδική, βραχνή φωνή της Bonnie Tyler και τη συγκλονιστική ερμηνεία της, το τραγούδι κατέκτησε την πρώτη θέση στα charts σε πολλές χώρες και εξελίχθηκε σε ένα από τα πιο αγαπημένα power ballads όλων των εποχών.

Οι στίχοι μιλούν για έναν μεγάλο έρωτα που χάθηκε, για τη μοναξιά, την προσμονή και την ελπίδα πως κάποια μέρα όλα θα ξαναγίνουν όπως πριν. Ακόμη και σήμερα, περισσότερα από 40 χρόνια μετά την κυκλοφορία του, το «Total Eclipse of the Heart» εξακολουθεί να συγκινεί εκατομμύρια ακροατές και να αποτελεί αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της παγκόσμιας μουσικής ιστορίας.

[Verse 1]

(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

[Refrain]

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then, I fall apart

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then, I fall apart

[Verse 2]

(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

[Refrain]

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then, I fall apart

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then, I fall apart

[Chorus]

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you 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 (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

[Post-Chorus]

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

[Interlude]

(Turn around, bright eyes)

(Turn around, bright eyes)

[Verse 3]

(Turn around)

Every now and then, I know you'll never be the boy

You always wanted to be

(Turn around)

But 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 wondrous as you

(Turn around)

Every now and then, I know there's nothing any better

There's nothing that I just wouldn't do

[Refrain]

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then, I fall apart

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then, I fall apart

[Chorus]

And I need you now tonight (And I need you)

And I need you more than ever

And if you only hold me tight (If you love me)

We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right (And we'll never)

'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 (All of the time)

I don't know what to do, 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)

[Post-Chorus]

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
