There were moments of gold and flashes of light

It's a song that isn't in touch with any of the current trends. It's a song done by an artist from the 70s. It's sappy and big and dramatic and operatic and I love it.

"It" is the song "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" by Meat Loaf. Yeah, The Loaf. He has a new album out and this is the first single. Celine Dion first made the song famous, but Meat Loaf's version blows hers out of the water. Newcomer Marion Raven is featured as the female singer.

I really love this song! I know I shouldn't, and this isn't the kind of stuff I usually listen to, but I can't help it!

If you'd like to listen to it (and you really should!), check it out at Meat Loaf's Myspace page.

If you can find it, there's also verson of this song by a group called Pandora's Box. If my information is right, that was the first version recorded. It sounds amazigly similar to Celine Dion's version because Jim Steinman, the songwriter and producer of both versions, apparently used an amost identical lineup of musicians for both. The vocal quality's different enough to make it interesting, though.
