Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart

Intense song, extravagant video : doves, angels, ninjas, circus people and what appears to be glowing-eyed members of a choir; all of this happening in a church-like building.
According to wikipedia, The meaning behind the video is that Tyler's character (a teacher) is fantasizing about her students.
That would explain all the teenage boys.
Written, edited, composed, and produced by Jim Steinman. A personal favourite.
(1983)



Turn around, every now and then I get a
little bit lonely and you're never coming around
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, 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


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
