Born in Skewen, South Wales, Tyler rose to prominence with her first hit single "Lost in France" in 1976. She signed a management deal with British songwriters Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe, who wrote and co-produced Tyler's first four studio albums between 1977 and 1981. "It's a Heartache" became Tyler's first US hit, with worldwide sales in excess of 6 million.
In 1982, Tyler signed with CBS/Columbia and began working with producer-songwriter Jim Steinman. He wrote her biggest career hit, "Total Eclipse of the Heart", and produced its parent album, "Faster Than the Speed of Night" (1983), and the follow-up, "Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire" (1986). Both albums were noted for their bombastic pop-rock production and melodramatic lyrics. Tyler's next album, "Hide Your Heart" (1988), was produced by Desmond Child and included several tracks that later became hits for other artists, including "The Best" for Tina Turner and "Save Up All Your Tears" for Cher.
Tyler leaned further into a commercial pop sound in the 1990s. She signed with Hansa Records and recorded her next album, "Bitterblue" (1991), with an assortment of producers including Giorgio Moroder, Roy Bittan and Dieter Bohlen. Her subsequent albums "Angel Heart" (1992)" and "Silhouette in Red" (1993) were recorded almost exclusively with Bohlen.
Towards the end of the 90s, Tyler moved to East West Records and recorded the albums "Free Spirit" (1995) and "All in One Voice" (1998). She continued to experiment with cross-genre sounds in the 2000s, recording the covers album "Heart Strings" (2003) with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2004, Tyler began recording in Paris with producer Jean Lahcène, beginning with a re-recording of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" which topped the charts in France and Belgium. Tyler promoted her subsequent albums "Simply Believe" (2004) and "Wings" (2005) with a world tour and the release of her first concert film Bonnie on Tour.
Tyler spent the following eight years concentrating on her live work before returning to the studio for "Rocks and Honey" (2013). The album includes her UK Eurovision entry "Believe in Me". In 2018, Tyler reunited with David Mackay, who produced Tyler's first two albums in the 1970s, for her latest releases "Between the Earth and the Stars" (2019) and "The Best Is Yet to Come" (2021).
Tyler has contributed to several film soundtracks. Her most notable recording is "Holding Out for a Hero" which featured in Footloose, and has since become synonymous with action sequences, having later appeared in Shrek 2, Loki, and in numerous movie trailers. In 1984, Tyler sang the track "Here She Comes" for Giorgio Moroder's restoration of Fritz Lange's Metropolis, a recording which led to Tyler's third Grammy nomination.

'Cause while the world goes crazy, you keep me breathing

Une découverte très émouvante et inattendue apres 43 ans ! ...C'était en '79 que j'ai entendu cette chanson pour la 1 ère fois ...
Peu connue malgré une superbe interprétation .Dommage ...
Bonnie Tyler était une magnifique voix des années '70-'80 mais également une superbe femme . On parle en fait de l'époque d'or de la musique !
Très contente de l'avoir retrouvée .
Grand merci ,youtube !

I love this bluesy song. One of my favorite songs from the 70s from Bonnie. It really showcased her husky voice and how it could be used to execute a bluesy number.

Superbe chanson méconnue, je pleure en l'écoutant, je n'ai pas d'amoureux mais je sais ce que c'est quand on est attaché à quelqu'un ,le monde n'existe plus autour,on s'en fout ,on est trop bien,mais on craint toujours que l'homme qu'on aime s'en aille un jour sans rien dire ou trouve des prétextes d'être occupé, et c'est le cas.J'étais très bien avec lui mais il s'est désintéressé depuis quelques semaines de moi ,est devenu indifférent, j'aimerais le revoir et le serrer dans mes bras et j'aimerais être dans les siens ,passer du temps avec lui mais je me rends compte que c'est compliqué 😢😢😢
