Bonnie Tyler’s "From The Heart Greatest Hits" – A Rollercoaster of Feels and Fist-Pumps
Alright, buckle up, folks. If you’re here for a deep dive into Bonnie Tyler’s From The Heart Greatest Hits (2007), you’ve come to the right place. This Aussie release by Sony BMG Music Entertainment is basically a love letter to anyone who’s ever cranked their car stereo just to feel something. With genres like Rock, Pop, and Pop/Rock—and styles ranging from Ballads to AOR—it’s got enough variety to keep your ears busy without getting bored.
First off, let’s talk about that tracklist. It’s stacked with classics, remixes, and repeat offenders (looking at you, “If You Were A Woman” and “Si Demain”). But two songs really stuck in my brain like gum on a hot sidewalk: “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Holding Out for a Hero.”
Now, if you don’t know “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” I’m not sure we can be friends anymore. This song is peak Bonnie—dramatic vocals, soaring melodies, and lyrics so over-the-top they could double as poetry slam material. Every time I hear it, I imagine myself standing on some misty cliffside wearing a cape, screaming into the void. It’s cheesy, yes, but also kinda perfect. Like nachos with extra cheese—sure, it’s indulgent, but who cares when it tastes this good?
Then there’s “Holding Out for a Hero.” Oh man. This one hits different every time. Whether it’s playing during an epic movie montage or blasting through your headphones while you try to adult, it’s impossible not to feel invincible. Plus, how can you resist those power chords? They’re like caffeine for your soul. Fun fact: Dave Slimlings designed the album cover, which might explain why it looks cooler than most greatest hits compilations. Shoutout to Dave!
But hey, let’s get real for a sec. Not everything on this album is groundbreaking. Some tracks blend together like forgotten smoothies at the back of your fridge. And yeah, including duplicates like “(The World Is Full Of) Married Men” twice feels a bit lazy. Did someone hit copy-paste too many times? Who knows. Still, even the weaker moments have charm because, well, it’s Bonnie freaking Tyler.
So what’s the verdict? From The Heart Greatest Hits isn’t reinventing the wheel, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a solid collection of nostalgia bombs wrapped in Dave Slimlings’ slick design. Listening to it felt like catching up with an old friend who still rocks leather pants and tells wild stories from the ‘80s.
And honestly? That’s pretty rad. Now excuse me while I go listen to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” again and pretend I’m starring in my own angsty music video.

About Bonnie Tyler
Gaynor Hopkins (born on June 8, 1951 Skewen, Wales), known professionally as Bonnie Tyler, is a Welsh singer known for her distinctively husky sound which developed after a vocal cord surgery. She has been nominated for three Grammy awards.
Here’s something cool: Bonnie Tyler's *From The Heart Greatest Hits* album, released in 2007 in Australia, is like a treasure chest of her most iconic songs. It’s got everything—rock, pop, ballads, and even a bit of AOR (that’s Album-Oriented Rock for the uninitiated). What’s wild is that it includes not one but two versions of "Si Demain... (Turn Around)," showing how versatile she is. And can we talk about "Total Eclipse of the Heart"? That song is still as epic today as it was back then. Oh, and fun detail—the album’s design was done by Dave Slimlings. Bet he had a blast putting all those hits together into one sleek package.
