Some songs are obviously interesting and deserving of study, but others... others surprise you. I'll be honest, when I got the request to look at Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart I wasn't expecting much, but I'm happy to admit that I was very wrong. Jim Steinman, the composer, baked in a lot of really cool ideas, turning what could've been a pretty straightforward pop ballad into a deep, intricate exercise in harmonic ingenuity. The tools he uses are all pretty simple, but the way he uses them is anything but.

I really liked this video. The pantara tuning makes this song so hard to play along with :-) You could make this a trilogi making a video for: Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart Céline Dion - It's All Coming Back To Me Now Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell And then maybe making a video on how Jim Steinman writes a song. That might be interesting, but no pressure. Thanks for a grate video I looked up Jim Steinman right away, keep up the good work. I am sorry for the low view count, the video was just as good as "comfortably numb" and "black hole sun".
