    I've never encountered a song/music video that so nakedly confronts trauma from a male perspective. It's so emotional-- and not just about sex and relationships, which is rare. At 41, this songs hit differently. It's such a beautiful reflection in middle age on the experiences that shaped your character, both tragic and enthralling. God rest both Meat and Jim.

      Meat Loaf is (or was; the last live performance I saw video off wasn't great) one of the greats, but so is Jim Steinman who wrote most of the iconic songs. Steinman recorded some of these himself, but he just doesn't have the voice to do them full justice. Still good, though.

      They did make some amazing creations, but honestly I hope they don't get back together, Jim was always jealous of how aday was being better recognised for the songs than him. There is an interview clip, of the band, and the interveiwer asks aday "what sort of genre would you class your music?" Aday, trying to be respectful says "ah ask jim about our music" Jim cuts in "well I would class MY music as...." I get they should be getting equal credit for their music, but Jim was a complete dick, even though aday always gave him the credit for it. He took out his problems on the guy who was trying to help him.

      If you are bored with the hum-drum-same-ol-thing from the U.S. or the Western market of Music, I highly suggest looking into K-Pop. The bigger companies SPEND on production of MVs like you described. AMAZING, AMAZING stuff.
      Even if Pop is not your favorite genre, there are work-arounds. There is a Girl Group that is now known as 'The Face Of Rock In K-Pop', basically on the fringe so they are the Black Sheep of music in Korea. NOBODY else does it like they do to the point that they are basically their own genre now.
      Dreamcatcher makes music in every genre you can think of. They even have some Metal stuff (they don't do the Screamo or Metal Growls but the instrumentation is SICK and their vocals are amazing!). Every member brings it (there are seven awesome ladies to try to keep your eyes on).
      Hard to say 'no' to a group that can do just about everything. Their production just keeps getting better but they are from a smaller company. With their debut, they opened a dark, horror-based storyline that lasted seven title tracks, each attached to different albums or mini-albums or EPs. After that storyline was done, they moved on to tackle Social issues.
      Their B-sides are not necessarily Rock or Metal but they are great vocalists no matter what. They have a lullaby (which is actually called 'Lullaby', lol), they have some Rasta, they have some Country, of course have some Rap and they do covers of other group's songs from Western countries as well as from Korea.
      They are my fav group in all of music BECAUSE they do EVERYTHING, matching my eclectic musical taste plus when they have MVs, it's just like you described; Mini-Movies. But DC is not the only group who makes those Mini-Movies with all that great production. :)

He fought hard for 25 years. When I lost him in 2016, he had a wife, four kids and three Master’s degrees. He lived his life better than anyone I’ve ever known.

    This song has so much more meaning now that Meat is gone. It's like him reflecting on his life,he's young here,like it's him seeing his past and after going to the great beyond,a time traveler of sorts. I feel like this song and video after his passing is that much more powerful. This is his spirit,right here,young and happy,meloncholic but reflective and soon to be with his loved ones. Prophetic in a way. So long Meat,one of the greatest ever,be at peace and soon,we will all be objects in the rear view mirror...

    Meatloaf's songs meant a lot to me growing up. Especially "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are". Now that's a long title :-)
    The song reminds me of my friend Steve that left life way too early. It was written and composed by a less infamous musician and songwriter, Jim Steinman. Meatloaf breathed so much life into the song.
    Songs are amazing... You can touch people and help them while you are alive even after you are gone... Not too many things are like that. Meatloaf is gone but his songs will live on for many years to come to touch new people and help them.

      Chris, Meatloaf breathed life into it because it was HIS story of his violent abusive alcoholic father! “He’s behind me and he’s gaining ground” was what he felt his entire life but his massive talent still couldn’t be crushed! May he Rest Easy now ❤️

      On the Dan rather interview (RUclips). Meat Loaf was asked, what is the one thing that bothers him more than anything in the world. He responded when people type his name as one word. Good job 👌

    I still start crying when I see the boy crash with the plane. It touches me so much. For me, this is Meat Loaf's best song. Deeply emotional and so sad, so tragic. And so tragic for all of us that we lost him.

    I remember when this album came out. I was in such a dark place in my life. Struggling with depression, and alcohol. I woke up one morning with a bad hangover. A voice inside my head said this is not okay. This will not solve the problems you are having. So I grabbed my headphones and this cd and went on long walks and did alot of soul searching. I've been sober ever since.

    A so incredible ode for those we had a so decadent tragic agonic past. Listenning it since decades ago, almost every day. I'm from 77 and nowadays Meat Loaf-Jim Steinman are R'n'R icons inside here💪🎸

    I live in a small farm town, born in the 70s that have this as our anthem album. I think there's about 2000 that can sing the entire album, word for word, by memory, 40 yrs later.

    This is the first time I've seen the music video. The first part of the song always resonated with me (lyrically), as my best friend was killed (run over by a lorry while cycling) in 1994 when we were both 11. It was Christmas 1994 that we bought the cassette tape for my Dad. I soon ended up taking the tape from my Dad to listen to it as much as I could.
    Great album, great songwriting from the late Jim Steinmann and great performing from Meat Loaf.

    I haven't heard the song in forever it's a shame I'm just coming back to it now, it hits so differently as an adult and the lyrics so much deeper than I could understand then. RIP Meat Loaf!
