1983年,Bonnie找到了她音乐制作上好搭档Jim Steinman,他曾为Meat Loaf写过许多好歌。这对完美搭档交出的第一份成绩单,就是专辑「Faster Than The Speed Of Night」,它在非常短的时间内,便稳坐英国排行榜首,同时在美国获得白金唱片佳绩。该专辑中的单曲 Total Eclipse of the Heart,深深触动许多听众的心弦,所以成为百万销售热门单曲,在英美两地都拿下单曲榜冠军。在录制Total Eclipse of the Heart的时候,史坦曼出动了一批明星级的乐手来帮忙,其中包括了布鲁斯史宾斯汀(Bruce Springsteen)的(E街乐队)成员,而罗利窦德则负责唱出那扣人心弦的和声。这首歌完成后,首先在英国推出,深深触动许多听众的心弦,很快百万销售热门单曲,在英美两地都拿下单曲榜冠军。也让邦妮泰勒成为英国有史以来第一个直接空降冠军宝座的女性歌手。
尽管接下来的几首单曲也有不错的成绩,Holding Out For A Hero (1986)及 If You Were a Woman (1988)均成为热门单曲。但这却是邦妮泰勒在美国的唯一冠军曲。
1994年,德国声誉极高的Echo奖,将「最佳国际女歌手」的头衔颁给了Bonnie Tyler。
Bonnie Tyler---Total Eclipse of the Heart
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming around Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes 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 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 Turnaround bright eyes Turnaround, every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always you wanted to be Turnaround, every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am Turnaround, every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you Turnaround, every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do 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 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
