Total Eclipse of the Heart

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" is a power ballad written and produced by Jim Steinman. It was originally performed by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler in 1983.

Length

The song appears on Tyler's 1983 album, Faster Than the Speed of Night. At nearly seven minutes in length, an edited version was — and still is — most commonly played on radio. The radio version is just under four minutes and 30 seconds, and removes the entire third verse and trims the extended fade-out ending. The video version is about one minute longer than the radio version.
