Thanks for checking this video out 💜 The male vocals are by Todd Rundgren - he was busy on tour when we filmed the video, so Hywel Bennett stepped in to mime the male part.

@@Dermacrosis I wrote this comment a long time ago. Despite it not getting in the Charts and because the direction music has gone in since 2000, no many in the UK know of the song. I would say that you have to be 'really' interested in your music to just even come across it. Therefore the likelihood of anyone who was born post-1990 who would listen to Bonnie Tyler now must be extremely marginal. However, it's different for those who were born Post-1970. Sadly songs are just 'forgotten about'.

Phenomenal. Period. I'm obsessed with Jim Steinman's songwriting/compositions anyway, but honestly this is one of his most masterful pieces of art that should have received accolades and awards and been overplayed like Total Eclipse of the Heart! I LOVE THIS SONG.

My husband and I danced to this song almost 37 years ago when we first met 💝 It was exactly 16th March 1986. The day after tomorrow will be his 60th birthday.

The truly magical part if this is, Steinman never married, but he had a uncanny knack of capturing romance and heartbreak like he’d been through it a million times.

There are times we had it all. There are times we lost it all. Just words, until Jim Steinman, Bonnie Tyler and Todd Rundgren gave it the “riches and the rock and the roll.” 🖤

I could see a lifetime of tinnitus if you really had the full power of Bonnie Tylers' voice that close to your lug hole. She has one hell of a great voice, got to love her.

Thanks to KZread we are still able not only to watch and listen to the great talent that is Bonnie Tyler but to enjoy this beautiful woman with such a unique voice. Have been a Bonnie Tyler fan since the 80's and to be a huge fan of her's and be be able just to sit back and watch and listen to her amazing talent is the great thing about KZread. What a pleasure it is to be able to go back in time and watch and listen to the great singers/performer's from years gone by.

When the sky is falling and you're looking round for somewhere to hide Did you ever call out to someone, did you ever call out to me I've never been gone, I've been right here by your side There ain't nothin' but clouds, there ain't nothin' but clouds in your eyes Why don't you believe it when you finally found the truth You've been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most You're so busy trying to get even, you never even try to get close I can't explain it away, it doesn't make any sense To know what it's like, I guess you gotta go through it I guess you gotta go through it, I guess you gotta go through it It doesn't matter, baby Loving you's a dirty job But somebody's gotta do it There were times when we'd never fake it There were times when we'd always make it There were times when we'd take it to the limit And we'd never, never, ever leave each other alone We were flesh and blood and bone There were times we had it all There were times we had it all There were times when we took our chances There were times when we were damn good dancers There were times when we heard all the answers In the beating of the drummer and the riches of the rock and the roll I can see right through your soul There were times we had it all There were times we had it all If your fears could only be forgotten, we could pull all of the barriers down Would you follow your dreams' desire Would you follow your secret dreams and forbidden fire Let's just peel out of this town It's been nothing but dreams It's been nothing but dreams until now You're never gonna see it You got your head stuck in the sand It's the land of the free and easy Street It's the home of the damned You're never gonna see it You better open up your eyes You're the only one who's left Who's gonna believe all your lies I can't explain it away, it doesn't make any sense To know what it's like, I guess you gotta go through it I guess you gotta go through it, I guess you gotta go through it It doesn't matter, baby Loving you's a dirty job But somebody's gotta do it There were times when we fought like tigers There were times we were damn good liars There were times we extinguished every fire That was burning, burning, burning up each other alive From the heavens on down to the dives There were times we lost it all There were times we lost it all There were times when we fought like tigers There were times we were damn good liars There were times when our bodies glistened There were times that we can't stop missing There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen to the pounding Pounding chorus of our desperate hearts Nothing could have torn us apart There were times we had it all There were times we had it all There were times we had it all (it's a dirty job) (Loving you, baby, somebody's gotta do it)

I am absolutely blown away by the majesty and beauty of this song! We have all felt the emotions portrayed by this song! Long live Bonnie! A true artist and diva!

I tell you now from the first line I could tell who wrote it 😄🤣. Steinman for heavens sake 🤣. Great songwriter

Some emotional stuff this!!

How was this not a hit!?!?

Imagine being a child in Wales and Bonnie is blasting on the radio with that big beautiful voice. I left Wales at 5 and Bonnie and her songs kept a link to home. Her voice makes me as proud as the Welsh national anthem.

Such an underrated song.

Todd did an amazing job on this song and on the entire album, with his unparalleled vocal work. Thanks, Bonnie. Your vocals weren't bad, either. 😉

Should have been number 1. Just fantastic.

Todd Rundgren´s background vocals/arrangement is pure genius-

GREAT song! Powerful voices...

I love this song

Thank you so much Bonnie for the gift of that song to the world. This helped me to raise up in one of my most difficult times. It is inspiring in good and bad moments, a pleasure to hear your voice with a so nice melody behind.
