"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.

The song, a duet with Rory Dodd, became Tyler's biggest career hit, topping the UK Singles Chart, and becoming the fifth-best-selling single in 1983 in the United Kingdom. In the United States, the single spent four weeks at the top of the charts, keeping another Steinman penned song "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" by Air Supply from reaching the top spot (a song Tyler would later cover in 1995),[6] and it was Billboard's number-six song of the year for 1983. The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Worldwide, the single has sales in excess of six million copies[7] and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over one million copies after its release, updated to platinum in 2001 when the certification threshold changed.[8] In 2015, the song was voted by the British public as the nation's third favourite 1980s number one in a poll for ITV.[9]

Background and composition

[edit]

After her contract with RCA Records ended in 1981, Tyler found a new manager in David Aspden. After seeing Meat Loaf perform "Bat Out of Hell" live on The Old Grey Whistle Test, she approached Meat Loaf's writer, Jim Steinman, and asked him to be her producer.[10] Tyler aimed to create an album utilizing the Wall of Sound production techniques of Phil Spector, and she believed that Steinman was the only person who could create the same sound, as Spector had mostly retired from the music business.[11] Tyler visited Steinman in his apartment in New York in April 1982 with her manager, where she was presented with two tracks: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" and "Goin' Through the Motions". She stated that had she not liked the songs Steinman played for her, he would have rejected Tyler's invitation to collaborate.[10] She returned to his studio apartment weeks later, where Steinman and Rory Dodd performed "Total Eclipse of the Heart" for her. Steinman also hand-picked the recording band for the song, which included Dodd as a featured vocalist (the "Turn around..." refrain).[12]

The lyric "Turn around, bright eyes" had originally appeared in Steinman's 1969 college musical The Dream Engine.[13] Steinman had originally written the song's verse melody for his score to the 1980 film A Small Circle of Friends.[14]

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" had to be shortened for radio play. Tyler did not believe that the song was radio-friendly at its full length; the song was reduced from seven minutes and two seconds to four minutes and thirty seconds.[15]

The power ballad[16] became Tyler's highest-charting song in several countries, peaking at No. 1 in the United States, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom. At its peak, it sold 60,000 copies per day and approximately 6 million copies in total.[7] It won the Variety Club award in the UK for best recording artist of 1983.[17] The song also made number 82 of VH1's top 100 love songs.

Tyler told Record Mirror that she thought the song was about "someone who wants to love so badly she's lying there in complete darkness."[18]

Steinman said in an interview with Playbill about the inclusion of the song in his 1997 musical Dance of the Vampires:

with 'Total Eclipse of the Heart', I was trying to come up with a love song and I remembered I actually wrote that to be a vampire love song. Its original title was 'Vampires in Love' because I was working on a musical of Nosferatu, the other great vampire story. If anyone listens to the lyrics, they're really like vampire lines. It's all about the darkness, the power of darkness and love's place in the dark...[19]

He also told People that he thought Tyler sounded like John Fogerty and wrote the song "to be a showpiece for her voice."[20] Tyler described the song as "a challenge [to sing]," stating that she "[doesn't] like songs that anybody can sing. I like songs that need a lot of energy." After Steinman presented her with the song, she told The Times, "I just had shivers right up my spine...I couldn't wait to actually get in and record it."[21]

According to Meat Loaf, Steinman had written the song, along with "Making Love Out of Nothing at All", for Meat Loaf's album Midnight at the Lost and Found; however, Meat Loaf's record company refused to pay Steinman, and he wrote separate songs himself. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was given to Bonnie Tyler and "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" to Air Supply.[22] Tyler has denied this claim.[23] "Meat Loaf was apparently very annoyed that Jim gave that to me," Tyler stated. "But Jim said he didn't write it for Meat Loaf, that he only finished it after meeting me."[24] Steinman said to People that he considered it "an aria to me, a wagnerian-like onslaught of sound and emotion. I wrote it to be a showpiece for her voice."[10]

In an interview with journalist Mick Wall shortly after the release of Meat Loaf's 2006 album Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose, Steinman stated: "I didn't write [Total Eclipse of the Heart] for anyone but Bonnie." Steinman believed that CBS were expecting him to write something similar to "It's a Heartache", but he had different ideas.[25]

Music video

[edit]
Holloway Sanatorium steps, which feature in the video

The music video for "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was directed by Russell Mulcahy[26] and was filmed at the Holloway Sanatorium, a large Victorian Gothic hospital near Virginia Water, Surrey, England.[27] The surrealist video features Tyler clad in white, dreaming or fantasizing about students in a boys' boarding school. Young men are seen dancing and participating in various school activities and singing in a choir.

The video received two nominations at the Billboard Video Music Awards in 1983 for Best Performance by a Female and Most Effective Use of Symbolism.[28]

A long-running urban legend is that the boy who appears throughout the video and who shakes Tyler's hand at the end is former Italian footballer Gianfranco Zola. In a 2012 interview, Zola confirmed that he did not appear in the video.[29]

In September 2023, the video exceeded one billion views on YouTube.[30]

Live performances

[edit]

Since the song's release, Tyler has performed "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in all of her concerts.[31] "I sing it much better now than I used to," she told The Huffington Post. "I think my voice is probably not as husky as it was, I think it's mellowed a bit."[32] The song was performed at the 26th Annual Grammy Awards, held at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, on 28 February 1984.[33]

Bonnie Tyler sang "Total Eclipse of the Heart" live on board a Royal Caribbean cruise ship during the solar eclipse of 21 August 2017, backed by DNCE.[34][35]

Live recordings of Tyler performing the song have been released on her albums Bonnie Tyler Live (2006) and Live in Germany 1993 (2011). Video performances have also been released on Tyler's DVDs, Bonnie on Tour (2006) and the DVD edition of Live in Germany 1993.

Critical reception

[edit]

Mike DeGagne from AllMusic retrospectively described "Total Eclipse of the Heart" as "one of the finest ballads ever to hit radio." He noted the "lush instrumentation" and said that Tyler's voice "produced the perfect type of 'desperate lovelorn' effect to suit the romantic lyrics." He described Roy Bittan's piano playing as "dreamy" and described Tyler's voice as "wonderfully gritty."[36] Donald A. Guarisco, also from AllMusic, retrospectively reviewed Faster Than the Speed of Night and noted the song as an "epic ballad", describing the whole album as "rock at its most melodramatic."[37] Jim Beviglia from American Songwriter said that Tyler's raspy vocals helped to legitimize the "melodrama inherent in the lyrics," and described the song as a "garment-rending, chest-beating [and] emotionally exhausting ballad" that suits the throes of a turbulent relationship.[20]

Impact

[edit]

In a 2013 UK survey, the song came first in a list of most popular songs to sing in the shower, above songs by Justin Bieber, Robbie Williams, One Direction and Elton John.[38] In 2015, the song was voted by the British public as the nation's third-favourite 1980s number one in a poll for ITV.[39]

The song's lyrics compare an ended romance with an eclipse.[40] The song often receives publicity during solar eclipses and lunar eclipses.[41] "Total Eclipse of the Heart" received substantial media attention during the solar eclipse of 20 March 2015. Tyler's version received a 214% increase of Spotify streams throughout the day.[42] A similar impact was experienced during the solar eclipse of 21 August 2017, when Nielsen Music reported a 503% increase in record sales.[43] Around that time, the song hit number one on the iTunes chart.[44]

The song again reached No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs chart in the US during the solar eclipse of 8 April 2024.[45] In the following week, Tyler re-entered the Billboard Artist 100 chart at No. 79,[46] and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" entered the LyricFind Global chart at No. 25,[47] the Canadian Digital Song Sales chart at No. 9,[48] and the US Digital Song Sales Chart at No. 5.[49]

Other versions by Bonnie Tyler

[edit]

Since the original release in 1983, Tyler has re-recorded the song numerous times. In 2004, she released a duet version of the song with Peter Brocklehurst on his album For You.[109] A solo version of the recording was released on her own studio album, Wings, the following year.

In January 2007, Tyler released another version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in collaboration with British punk-electronic group BabyPinkStar.[110] It peaked at no. 40 on the UK Independent Singles chart.[111] In 2009, Tyler released a version of the song with Welsh choral group Only Men Aloud!.[7] In 2011, Tyler re-recorded the song on an EP named after the song, released by Cleopatra Records.[112] In 2013, another version of the song was released as a bonus track from her album Rocks and Honey, available exclusively on the UK iTunes Store.

In 2021, Tyler released a classical-dance version of the song on Classical 80s Dance, an album by German producer Alex Christensen and the Berlin Orchestra.[113]

English singer Nicki French released a hi-NRG remake of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in October 1994 that was also a worldwide hit. It was included on her debut album, Secrets (1995). The song originally peaked at No. 54 on the UK Singles Chart in 1994 but reached No. 5 after being re-issued in January 1995.[117] In the United States, French's version peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it garnered frequent airplay on AC radio. It enjoyed greater success in Australia, spending four nonconsecutive weeks at No. 2. Elsewhere, the cover reached number 13 in New Zealand, number 16 in Canada, and peaked within the top 10 of several European countries.

Background and release

[edit]

French had made her first dance version recording of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in 1994: she had purchased the Bonnie Tyler original as a teenager in 1983 and reacted negatively to the original suggestion that she (French) remake the song as a dance track — "I thought, no, it's too strong a song to go down the dance route. You know, it demeans it almost. But then I thought well, I'll give it a go. And as soon as I heard the track, I thought it actually does work."[118] The singer had been performing in London bands since the age of 12 and was given the chance to record a version when she received a phone call from a fellow British musician.[119][conflicted source] French's first recording of "Total Eclipse of the Heart", made with John Springate of the Glitter Band producing, came to the attention of Mike Stock and Matt Aitken, who produced their own recording of the song by French, and it was this version which appeared on the UK chart dated 15 October 1994 at No. 54. French would recall: "I just thought oh well that was great...I've [worked with] Mike Stock and Matt Aitken and it was a dream come true...we tried and I had a great time...And then about two months later I had a call out of the blue from Mike saying the buzz will not die down on this track so we're going to re-record the beginning...and we're going to re-release it at the beginning of 1995."[120]

According to French, her remake of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" became popular in the UK and the US in distinct remixes: "the slower version was the one that actually took a hold in the UK, where originally they started with the fast one and then decided to go with the [remix which began] in the same vein as the Bonnie Tyler version [and then] sped up when the chorus came in...In the US it was the [remix] which was fast all the way through."[120] The single earned French two awards at the 1995 Hi-NRG Music Awards, in the categories for "Single of the Year" and "Best Female Vocal Performance".[121] In 1996, the song was named "Best Hi-NRG 12-inch of the Year" at the International Dance Music Awards in Miami.[122]

Music video

[edit]

The song's accompanying music video features French performing on a stage, in front of a giant, circular "moon" that occasionally draws up to eclipse itself. Smoke appear as "clouds" and she is backed up by a band and two female backup singers. Sometimes a dancer also performs in front of the "moon".[123] An alternate video also exists, set to the slower version of the song.[124]

Critical reception

[edit]

AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine remarked that French "had a unexpected hit single with her dance-club, house-inflected cover" of "Total Eclipse of the Heart". He added that "although it was treated like a novelty at first, the version was as effective as the original and was a deserved success."[125] Larry Flick from Billboard stated that the singer "does a fair imitation of Bonnie Tyler on this bouncy hi-NRG/disco interpretation of the bombastic power ballad. U.K. and European punters already have warmly embraced this twirler, and odds are an even 50-50 for similar success here."[126] American entertainment company BuzzFeed ranked French's version number 26 in their "The 101 Greatest Dance Songs of the '90s" list in 2017.[127] Steve Baltin from Cash Box felt that in the new version, "only the radio edit retains the syrupy feel that made Tyler’s song such a smash. 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' seems like it would be an odd choice for a dance cover, and this version confirms that suspicion... but it's still a hit."[128] Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report named it Record To Watch, writing, "The song that never dies gets a '90s facelift and a tempo injection. Ten more believers."[129] Robbie Daw from Idolator described it as a "simmering dance rendition", including it in their "The 50 Best Pop Singles of 1995" list in 2015.[130] In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton said that it "suffers from the inevitable dance beat tacked on and also the lack of Jim Steinman's bombastic production that made the track such an epic in the first place."[131] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented that "away is the sandpaper vocal of Bonny Tyler [sic], the edge now comes from the dance context put into the ballad. Needless to say it's an upbeat song anno 1995. Top 10 in the UK."[132]

In 2003, Tyler re-recorded "Total Eclipse of the Heart" as a bilingual duet with French singer Kareen Antonn. Produced by Faouze Barkati, Krem Barkati and Wallid Barkati, the track was named "Si demain... (Turn Around)". It was released on 19 December 2003 by Yanis Records and appears on Tyler's 14th studio album, Simply Believe (2004). The single topped the charts in Belgium and France.

Background and release

[edit]

The release date for "Si demain... (Turn Around)" was brought forward by three weeks due to unprecendented demand after the track received pre-release radio airplay.[175] Tyler and Antonn filmed the music video in Québec, Canada. Behind-the-scenes footage was released on Tyler's concert film, Bonnie on Tour (2006).[176]

Following the success of "Si demain... (Turn Around)", Tyler and Antonn released a second duet, "Si tout s'arrête (It's a Heartache)", on 7 June 2004.

Critical reception

[edit]

In reviews, critics praised "Si demain... (Turn Around)" for its inventive approach at re-recording a pre-established hit song. Platine, a French magazine, attributed the track's success to an emerging trend of "transborder duets" in 2004.[177] Music charts analyst Elia Habib noted that "Si demain... (Turn Around)" is the first bilingual chart-topping single since "7 Seconds" by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry in 1994.[178] Music Actu stated the song was "among the most popular singles of French public" upon release, and noted its performance on the French singles chart.[179]

Chart performances and sales

[edit]

On the French SNEP Singles Chart, the single debuted at number 25 on 21 December 2003.[180] It reached the top ten two weeks later and became number one in its fifth week. The single regained the number one spot on three occasions during the ten weeks at number one. It remained on the chart for 25 weeks,[181] achieved Platinum status for over 500,000 copies sold,[182] and was the fourth best-selling single of 2004 in France.[183] "Si demain... (Turn Around)" is the only female duet number one single since the creation of French Top 50.[184] It is also the single which made the biggest drop from number one, dropping directly to number ten.[185][186] It also gave Bonnie Tyler the record of the longest time gap between top ten singles in France. Eighteen years passed between her hit "If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man)" which reached number six in 1986[187] and of "Si demain... (Turn Around)", hitting number one. The previous record, by Marc Lavoine, was 17 years old.[188]

In Belgium (Wallonia), the song went to number one two weeks after its debut at number 21, and remained number one from 21 February to 10 April 2004, i.e. eight weeks. It stayed in the top 40 for 24 weeks.[189] It was certified Platinum after eleven weeks on the chart. It was the second best-selling single of 2004 and totaled 31 weeks on the chart.[190] In Switzerland, the single peaked at number seven for four weeks and remained on the chart for 34 weeks.[191] "Si demain... (Turn Around)" was also broadcast on radio in Russia and Poland where it reached number one on local radios as well as on the main chart.[192][193] The song was number six on the 2004 International List of French-speaking Music, compiled in collaboration with 122 radio stations throughout the world.[194]

As of August 2014, the song was the 26th-best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 508,000 units sold.[195] However, when she participated in the French show La Méthode Cauet, Kareen Antonn affirmed that the single, then still ranked on the French Singles Chart, had exceeded the 700,000 sold copies. Worldwide, the song has sold more than 2 million copies (physical sales and digital downloads).[196][197]

Parody versions

[edit]

A parody of the song and music video were published in 2009, in what the fans and makers call a "literal video version", which is a type of video that replaces the original song lyrics with humorous lyrics describing the images in the video. Time magazine listed it as the 6th best viral video of 2009.[235] This was also the 6th literal video produced by professional video editor David A. Scott Jr.; the singer who performed for this re-dub was Scott's friend Felisha Noble using the pseudonym Persephone Maewyn.[236]

In 2010, Tyler appeared in an advertisement for MasterCard, performing a short parody of the song with its noted new lyric "Turn around, Neville."[237] She performed the original song in a similar advertisement for Westpac in 2012.[238]

Warby Parker produced a parody video in anticipation of the solar eclipse of 21 August 2017.[239]

The Marsh Family, a couple with four children in Faversham, Kent, produced a parody titled "Totally Fixed Where We Are" expressing the feelings of people under a third lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, which went viral in February 2021.[240][241]

In 2019, in the Canta Uma Para Mim segment on Brazilian television program Alerta Amazonas, the song was performed by contestant Priscila Munhoes, who did not know how to speak English, and instead substituted her own "gibberish" lyrics. Munhoes was eliminated from the program, but the video of her performance went viral on the internet.[242]
