Understanding Total Eclipse Of The Heart

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.
