Bonnie Tyler

International singing star Bonnie Tyler was born into a musical home in Wales and has been performing since the age of 17. She has had a long and successful career and worked with some of the greatest writers, producers and musicians in popular music.

Perhaps best known for the classic Jim Steinman songs Total Eclipse Of The Heart and Holding Out For A Hero, Bonnie Tyler has had number one albums on both sides of the Atlantic, has been nominated for three Grammys, won the Yamaha World Song Festival, and has sold over 20 million records in her career so far. She continues to tour and play live shows constantly, which she loves to do

Tyler now has a brand new album, titled Rocks And Honey, and her Eurovision entry, Believe In Me, comes from that new record.

"What makes our entry special is that we have a beautiful song by world class songwriter, Desmond Child, that appeals to a wide variety of people across borders, age groups and other dividing lines. It brings people together and that is an essential part of the purpose of the Eurovision Song Contest.

In Malmö I want to do my very best for my country, and for our wonderful song, but I also want to take a full part in the competition and look forward to working with, and enjoying, the artists from all of the participating nations.

I have found inspiration in the work of great singers such as Janis Joplin and Bruce Springsteen, but most of all from my mother who sang opera beautifully. I am inspired every day by my 40 year long marriage to Robert, who was a Team GB competitor at the 1972 Olympic Games.

I want to thank my fans for their unwavering support and love and ask them to spread the word about Believe In Me to everyone that they know.

An interesting fact about our entry is that Desmond Child partially wrote this song at the dinner table at his house in Nashville whilst we were all eating together.

The Eurovision Song Contest is compulsive watching for me and it has given music some truly great artists, such as the wonderful Abba, and continues to give a truly unique opportunity to songwriters and performers."

For nearly four decades, songwriter and producer Desmond Child has reigned as one of music's most successful creative forces. His list of accolades include his induction into The Songwriters Hall Of Fame in 2008, Grammy awards, 70 Top 40 singles, and songs that have sold over 300 million albums worldwide. Child's career has been highlighted by a stunning array of diversity. His collaborations run the gamut... from Bon Jovi and Aerosmith to Ricky Martin,.. from Kiss to Kelly Clarkson...from Mickey Mouse to Kermit The Frog and from Cher to Alice Cooper.

Despite having worked for nearly forty years as a writer, producer, and artist, Child remains energised and enthusiastic... ready to create hits indefinitely. "I was born with a certain drive and sense of destiny that keeps me going," says Child. "Maybe it was because I was born poor; I wanted to win for the family. I still put a lot of energy in what I do. I try to really live life, so I have new experiences that I can write about."

Lyrics of Believe In Me

You say you don't believe in signs from up above
And you laugh at the thought of putting your faith in stuff like love
You never see the rainbow you just curse the rain
You say you wannt believe
But it's just not worth the pain today

That's all fine if that's how you want it to be
But if you're feeling alone and afraid and you can't breathe

Believe in me yeah
Believe in me yeah
Believe in
The way I look at you
And stand beside you
The way I speak the truth
I'd never lie to you
If you just believe in the things that your eyes can see
Believe in me

You come and you go when there's never no compromise that's why
The seconds and the minutes of the days of your life
Go crawling by

That's all fine it that's how you want it to be
But you're feeling along and afraid and you can't breathe

Believe in me yeah
Believe in
The way I look at you
And stand beside you
The way I speak the truth
I'd never lie to you
If you just believe in the things that your eyes can see
Believe in me

What-cha gonna do when your ship is sinking
And your crying out for help
And just a segull's listening
In the dark of the night in the middle of the fight
When you're reaching out for something and there's nothing

Believe in me yeah
Believe in me
The way I look at you
And stand beside you
The way I speak the truth
I'd never lie to you
If you just believe in the things that your eyes can see
Believe in me
Tu dis que tu ne crois pas aux signes d’en haut
Et tu ris à l’idée de croire à des choses comme l’amour
Tu ne vois jamais l’arc-en-ciel, tu ne fais que maudire la pluie
Tu dis que tu veux croire
Mais que la souffrance n’en vaut pas la peine

Très bien si c’est ce que tu veux
Mais si tu te sens seul, si tu as peur, si tu ne peux pas respirer

Crois en moi yeah
Crois en moi yeah
Crois en
La façon dont je te regarde
Et dont je me tiens à tes côtés
Cette manière que j’ai de te dire les choses comme elles sont
Jamais je ne te mentirais
Si tu ne crois que ce que tu vois
Crois en moi

Tu vas et tu viens et tu ne cèdes rien, c’est pourquoi
Les secondes et les minutes de ta vie
S’égrainent au ralenti

Crois en moi yeah
Crois en
La façon dont je te regarde
Et dont je me tiens à tes côtés
Cette manière que j’ai de te dire les choses comme elles sont
Jamais je ne te mentirais
Si tu ne crois que ce que tu vois
Crois en moi

Que feras-tu quand ton bateau coulera
Tu crieras à l’aide
Et tu n’auras qu’une mouette à ton écoute
Dans la nuit noire en plein combat
Quand tu appelles et qu’il n’y a rien

Crois en moi yeah
Crois en
La façon dont je te regarde
Et dont je me tiens à tes côtés
Cette manière que j’ai de te dire les choses comme elles sont
Jamais je ne te mentirais
Si tu ne crois que ce que tu vois
Crois en moi
