Total Eclipse of the Heart, Literal Video Version

This video is more than 10 years old, but I hadn’t seen it before: a version of Bonnie Tyler’s music video for Total Eclipse of the Heart where the lyrics describe what we literally see.

Pan the room

Random use of candles, empty bottles, and cloth,

and can you see me through this fan?

Slo-mo dove

Creepy doll, a window, and what looks like a bathrobe.

Then, a dim-lit shot of dangling balls.

Metaphooor?
