Here, we are at the end where there are only coldness and a dry acceptance of a simple fact: We lost it and it won´t ever come back. But – in the case of the song – there is no guarantee for such a turnaround.
It may seem to us like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Sometimes, the love and the mutual affection can indeed return to us and we, our partner and the relationship as an entity of its own could be reborn stronger than before. In most cases, we would expect fights, the struggle for a new beginning and we would catch the last straw to save the relationship. It does not have to disastrous as we see it in the song but it can also be a new step and another phase of life. Most of us know it and the others might have heard about it (and will therefore learn it their own way sooner or later): the end of a relationship can be and typically will be painful. 1993 started with the release of “I Don´t Wanna Fight” which turned out to be a big hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
The year 1993 was a real Tina Turner year and offered the full range of a pop star´s work and output: a new album (or at least partly new as most of the tracks were re-recordings), several releases as singles, a tour in the United States and several festival concerts overseas and – of course – magazine articles, TV appearances and – the reason for all the drama – the autobiographical movie “What´s Love Got To Do With It”.
