英國歌手〔妮琪法蘭奇〕與沙啞唱將〔邦妮泰勒〕的交集─－Hi-NRG舞曲──〔Total Eclipse Of The Heart〕

〔Total Eclipe of the Heart〕
Turn around, every now and the I get a little bit lonely and youre never coming round
Turn around, every now and the I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turn around, every now and the 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 Im lying like a child in your arms
Turn around, every now and then I
get a little bit angry and I know Ive got to get out and cry.
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.

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
Well be holding on forever
And well only be making it right
Cause well 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 dont know what to do and Im always in the dark
Were living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now Im only falling apart
Theres nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now theres only love in the dark
Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart
(Music)
Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around, every now and then I know youll never be the boy you always wanted to be.
Turn around, every now and then I know youll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am.
Turn around, every now and then I know theres no one in the universe as magical and wonderful as you.
Turn around, every now and then I know theres nothing any better, theres nothing that I just wouldnt 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
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
Well be holding on forever
And well only be making it right
Cause well 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 dont know what to do, Im always in the dark
Were living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now Im only falling apart
Theres nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life but now theres only love in the dark.
Theres nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around, bright eyes

１９６４年９月　妮琪法蘭奇（Nikki French）出生於英國

１９９２年　她開始歌唱表演事業　為別人合音

１９９４年　妮琪翻唱英國沙啞唱將邦妮泰勒（Bonnie Taylor）１９８３年的英美冠軍搖滾經典〔Total Eclipse Of The Heart〕

將這首歌改成Hi-NRG／歐式舞曲版

只拿到英國＃５４

１９９５年　唱片公司重新發行〔Total Eclipse Of The Heart〕

結果大為成功　升到英國＃５　拿到銀唱片（＞２５萬張） 

在美國更為成功　拿下流行榜亞軍　成為一張金唱片（＞５０萬張）
（舞曲播放＃７　舞曲銷售＃５　成人抒情榜＃２０）

此曲後來收錄在妮琪１９９５年６月發行的首張專輯〔Secrets／秘密〕中

國際市場也表現不錯：加拿大＆西班牙＆香港＆＆巴西冠軍　澳洲亞軍　荷蘭＃１０　紐西蘭＃１３　比利時＃１４　愛爾蘭＃１５
平心而論　法蘭奇的聲音低沉渾厚
將〔Total Eclipse Of The Heart〕詮釋得頗具個人特色
加上此曲本就相當動聽　改為舞曲版後依舊出色
不過妮琪法蘭奇的事業也只是曇花一現
因為之後就沒什麼成績了
