Bonnie Tyler – It's A Heartache

Una voce cambiata dopo l'operazione

«It's a Heartache» di Bonnie Tyler viene registrata al Factory Sound, nel Surrey, in Inghilterra, nel 1977: è uno dei primi brani incisi nello studio appena finito dal produttore David Mackay, che lo taglia nella sua sessione di apertura.

La cantante ha appena affrontato un intervento chirurgico per rimuovere dei noduli dalle corde vocali, e ne esce con una voce inconsueta e roca. Un critico dell'epoca, su Spokane Daily Chronicle, la paragona a quella di Rod Stewart e nota che il precedente successo di Tyler, «Lost in France», non colpiva allo stesso modo perché registrato prima di questo cambiamento.

La RCA è restia a pubblicare il singolo, impegnata a ristampare il catalogo di Elvis Presley dopo la sua morte improvvisa nell'agosto 1977. Mackay e gli autori Ronnie Scott e Steve Wolfe minacciano di chiudere il contratto se il brano non uscisse subito: esce così il 4 novembre 1977 in Europa, e nel marzo 1978 in America e Canada.

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 list ning 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, 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.
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 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.

TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES

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.
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES
Every now and then I fall apart.
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES
Every now and then I fall apart.

And I need you now tonight…

Once upon a time I was…

A total eclipse of the heart, a total eclipse of the heart.
Turn around, bright eyes,
Turn around, bright eyes, turn around.
