Bonnie Tyler – Faster Than the Speed of Night (1983)
Directed by: Jim Steinman
Faster Than the Speed of Night is a powerful rock anthem by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler, released in April 1983 as the second single from her fifth studio album of the same name. Written and produced by Jim Steinman, the song showcases Tyler’s distinctive raspy vocals and dramatic musical arrangements. The accompanying music video, directed by Jim Steinman, features a surreal narrative where Tyler and a young man are transported into a fantasy video game world, culminating in a series of fantastical battles and romantic encounters. The video was filmed at Waverley Abbey in Tilford, England, providing a gothic backdrop that complements the song’s intense energy. The single achieved commercial success, charting in several countries and further solidifying Tyler’s status as a leading rock vocalist of the 1980s.
