Making Love Out Of Nothing At All

"Making Love Out of Nothing At All" is a song written and composed by Jim Steinman and has been released by Air Supply and Bonnie Tyler. The song was first recorded by Air Supply, gaining them a number two hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States of America (US). 70's glam-rock icon Rick Derringer, supplied the electric guitar solo that made the sound of Making Love Out Of Nothing At All stand so drastically apart from most other Air Supply productions. The song opens with a few bars of the melody played on piano. The first part of the song lists several things that the vocalist knows how to do, followed by something that they do not. The structure is similar to Steinman's "I'd Do Anything for Love (but I Won't Do That)", where the chorus consists of things that the vocalist would and then would not do. There is an instrumental interlude, dominated by the melody of the title line played by piano. The final verse returns to the structure of the first. The original Air Supply version had an American football analogy, with "I can make the runner stumble, I can make the final block; And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle, I can make all the stadiums rock." The video for the Air Supply version begins with a couple driving to an airport. The male singer is leaving for "one more tour" and asks the woman to join him, as he "can give you anything". The remainder of the video intersperses the singer on stage with a microphone with various scenes of the relationship. Graham and Russell, who comprise Air Supply, leave their dressing room for the stage. As they sing with the band, the female is shown packing and leaving their home, placing their photograph face down on the table in the process. Nevertheless, she changes her mind and does a u-turn on the freeway, and now drives to the airport. She meets him at the side of the stage near the end of the song and they embrace.

I know just how to whisper And I know just how to cry I know just where to find the answers And I know just how to lie I know just how to fake it And I know just how to scheme I know just when to face the truth And then I know just when to dream And I know just where to touch you And I know just what to prove I know when to pull you closer And I know when to let you loose And I know the night is fading And I know the time's gonna fly And I'm never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you But I know I gotta give it a try And I know the roads to riches And I know the ways to fame I know all the rules and then I know how to break 'em And I always know the name of the game But I don't know how to leave you And I'll never let you fall And I don't know how you do it Making love out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all Every time I see you all the rays of the sun are all Streaming through the waves in your hair And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes Like a spotlight The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost And it's looking for a rhythm like you You can take the darkness from the pit of the night And turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright I've gotta follow it cause everything I know Well it's nothing till I give it to you I can make the runner stumble I can make the final block And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle I can make all the stadiums rock I can make tonight forever Or I can make it disappear by the dawn And I can make you every promise that has ever been made And I can make all your demons be gone But I'm never gonna make it without you Do you really wanna see me crawl And I'm never gonna make it like you do Making love out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love, love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love, love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love) Out of nothing at all (Making love, love, love)
