“Bonnie Tyler is from Swansea, Wales. This was the first record by a Welsh artist to top the US chart. This entered the UK charts at #1, making Tyler the first female singer to do so.” (songfacts.com)
Masculinity:
- Stubborn: “Cause we’ll never be wrong”
- Futuristic: “Together we can take it to the end of the line
- Overbearing: the first verse in its self sounds like she thinks a ton, which can be overbearing.
every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you’re never coming ’round
(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
(Turn around) every now and then 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
Feminity:
- Vulnerable: “every now and then I fall apart”
- Dependent: “And I need you now tonight”
- Emotional: “every now and then I get a little bit nervous. That the best of all the years have gone by”
