This song was released in 1983. It came out when I had just entered what would be one of the most trying times of my life. I had fallen in love and it was incredible and terrifying and painful and just plain awful. At the time I didn’t realize that it would take me on a roller coaster ride that would last just a little too long. I didn’t know that I had the power to get off the ride and walk away.
And this song seemed to put into both music and words what I was experiencing. It made me cry at the time. It still tugs at my heart when I hear it but it really is a great song. At least, I think so!
I would like to thank Hugh for sharing songs with us each week. 51 Weeks: 51 Songs From the Past has given me the opportunity to look at songs with fresh eyes.
Ah, first love…..there’s nothing like it, huh?

Bonnie Tyler is one of my neighbours, Kat. I’ve never met her, as I’m sure she’s a very busy lady, but I do enjoy her music. Do you play this song at all, or is it too painful to add it to your playlist?

It isn’t on my playlist but only because there are SO many songs that I would like to add and just can’t list them all! It doesn’t make me sad anymore and I always listen to it when I come across it. 🙂
That is so cool that you live near Bonnie Tyler! 🙂

I hope to bump into her one day. It will probably be on a day when I forget to take my phone with me.
