The song's video is much more surreal, however.

Born in June 8, 1951 under the name Gaynor Hopkins, Bonnie Tyler is a Welsh musician who became one of the most important and popular in her decade.
She was raised in a big family, having three sisters and two brothers; and because many of them were already lovers of music, Bonnie inherited that passion, listening to songs from contemporary groups and singers like The Beatles and Elvis Presley. This motivated her to participate in a music contest that took place in her homeland (Skewen) and, despite not winning (she ended up in second place), she gave a shot to the idea of pursuing a musical career. Her first band was called ''Imagination'', formed after she worked as a backing singer for Bobby Wayne and the Dixies, and adopted the artistic name Sherene Davis to prevent overlap with fellow Welsh musician Mary Hopkin. After being heard in a performance with her band in Swansea, she was persuaded to record a demo track in London, England. This eventually led RCA Records to call her so she would sign for a contract; they recommended her to select a new artistic name, and after several promising options she finally chose "Bonnie Tyler". And thus our endearing Welsh singer with husky voice forged her career as we know it.
Tyler's earliest successes include "Lost In France" (from her first album, ''The World Starts Tonight''), "My Guns Are Loaded" (from the album ''Diamond Cut'') and "Sitting on the Edge of the Ocean" (which yielded her the best performance award in the 1979 World Popular Song Festival in Japan, and was later added to the song list of the album ''Goodbye to the Island''); however, it wasn't until February 1983 when she released the song that would make her a worldwide phenomenon, "Total Eclipse of the Heart", eventually incorporated into the album ''Faster Than the Speed of Night'' (for the label [=CBS/Columbia=], as her contract with RCA had expired two years prior). Not only did it turn that album into a huge seller (six million units sold, certifying it gold in the United States and later Platinum), but it was also remixed into covers by different artists, including Spanish and Italian languages; some parodies of the song were recorded as well.
