Beautiful relaxing song! There are plenty of covers out there. It helped me to practice the left hand movements in the piano track recording.
It also has some chorus and many vocal arrangements that I tried to emulate using voice synthetizers on the CASIO WK 3800. Later on I added reverb effects.

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" is a song written and produced by Jim Steinman and recorded by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler for her fifth studio album Faster Than the Speed of Night. Released as a single in 1983, it was the first release from the album and became Tyler's biggest hit.
My girlfriend loves this one a lot, so I decided to lern it and play it to her. I liked to use its original key (I believe Bbm). Downloaded the chords and practiced very much since I have no formal music education.
There are some errors in the middle of the cover, but I was too lazy to correct them at that time. Sorry :) My "live" version is better I guess.

Definetely one of the top ballads that the eighties brought to life. I fell in love with the fine combination between tender true heart feeling lyrics and nice melody.
This one is easy to try in piano. Here are the chords I used:

"Lavender" is neo-progressive rock band Marillion's second single from their breakthrough album Misplaced Childhood. The follow-up to the big UK number 2 hit "Kayleigh", the song was their second Top 5 UK hit, entering the chart on 7 September 1985, reaching number 5 and staying on the chart for 9 weeks. None of the group's other songs have reached the Top 5 and "Lavender" remains their second highest-charting song.
Great all time classic, and one of my favourites from Marillion. It's easy to play, basically you have to repeat the same chords all the way.
Here are the chords I used:
