Air Supply - Making Love Out Of Nothing At All(#ad)
When Meat Loaf's record company rejected Jim Steinman's music and composition for "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart",they had no idea these two songs will rank at No.2 and No.1 in the Billboard Hot 100 US Charts early 1983.
Midnight at the Lost and Found a 1983 album by Meat Loaf failed miserably at the charts prompting Meat Loaf to sue Jim Steinman who incidentally sold "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" to Air Supply.
Jim Steinman is a renowned American producer,song writer, composer who in the 80s was known as the man with Midas touch since whatever he ventured in..song writing or composing turned into gold or even better platinum certified records.
Since Meat Loaf rejected Jim Steinman's offer , he worked out a deal with Airsupply's Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock offering them the song in exchange of partial royalty payments.
Air Supply re-recorded "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" with Russell Hitchcock's amazing vocals but it was his band mate Graham Russell who got featured in the video because of his 'tall dude' looks.
The song was featured in Air Supply's album Greatest Hits and sold more than 7 million copies world wide.
This was Air Supply's biggest hit in the USA, ranking at No.2 in the Billboard Hot 100 charts, unfortunately this would be Air Supply's last top ten single till date.
Even though "Lost in Love" became the fastest selling song in the world in 1980 (before "Thriller"), it was a delayed release in USA, released many months later after the original release in Air Supply's native country Australia.
But the delayed release helped Air Supply gain momentum in USA as they were able to release "Lost in Love", "All out of Love" , "The One That You Love" and "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" one after other, in quick succession with cleverly manipulated delays.
The results were amazing as they sold more than 26 million copies worldwide between 1981 and 1983.For more information on Air Supply check out their website - Air Supply Official (#ad).
Air Supply – Making Love Out Of Nothing At All - Lyrics
Release Date - July 1983
Album - Greatest Hits
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've gotta tell you
But I know I've 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
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Making love out of nothing at all
Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun are
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 into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well, it's nothing 'til 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 want to see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
