I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being. Marvin Lee Aday (Michael) AKA Meatloaf your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the decades of memories.
Ah so your Bye Bye Miss American Pie would be around Meat Loaf rather than Buddy Holley. By the way, I agree, Meatloaf did not just sing songs, he created ballads.
Asia, I absolutely loved your expression during this song. I was 5 years old when I first heard this. My mom would go in her room and play this album. And I still love his music. It never gets old. Please listen to For Crying Out Loud, it's a beautiful song. True poetry.
The best line in any heartbreak song I have ever heard: "You've been cold to me so long I'm crying icycles instead of tears." Jim Steinman wrote all of Meatloaf's hits.
Love this song,always a fave of mine..what I always got from the song was at the end when he said how he was still in love with a girl that broke his heart and he would never get her out of his head and when he met this girl he knew he wanted her and needed her but his love was something he couldn`t promise because he had love for the other one..this is just my take on it..Keep On Rockin'
I agree. I used to think that too. But, now I think he was turning it all back on the girl that left him and wanted to come back. But she burned that bridge and he's telling her the same thing she told him. I want and need you but I'm not going to love you. No more. No way. (I paraphrased that). "You've been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears." It made him turn cold toward her crying for him to take her back and love her.
Agreed with a slightly different take. He had a broken heart from the previous woman and with the 2nd, he was not willing to open up and be vulnerable to being hurt again. So, he will not love her completely.
@@georgezissis9244 I Believe it's the Same Woman, he wants her he needs her But he got burned 🔥 by her and he will never trust his heart ❤️ to her again.
I saw Meatloaf in concert back in the 70s. He was so good live, he really did make you feel the music. For a big man his energy was through the roof. He always had a big grand piano on stageand would run across the stage and belly flop across the piano. The crowds at his concerts were treated to one hell of a show. May he R.I.P.
Asia’s astonished facial expressions during this says it all. Great song from a great artist/duo. Aside from that, you both are a total blast to hang out with. Cheers
The other girl left and took all of his love for her with her. He can't give love to this girl but he wants her to know that he wants and needs her. That's what I always took from this song. I love Meatloaf's voice as well. Grew up with him and surely miss him.
No. The girl he's talking to is the same girl that broke his heart many years earlier. She wants him now but he can't love her anymore because she broke his trust years earlier by saying 2 out of three aint bad. He speaks of her in the third person because he no longer knows or loves her. He states that she's been so cold to him for so long at the start of the song.
@@robdoe5433 Your right I remember when it came out that's what the writer I believe Jim Steinman or something like that said about the song in an interview RIP both of them.
@@davidgross990 That is the thing with songs like this and music as a whole....each listener cant take away from it whatever meaning they see and get from it, even if it is not the exact one the artist meant. Being BOTH takes fit the lyrics of the song.
I’ve been there with him in those lyrics, the last girl I loved did that to me, I still feel it all these yrs later, won’t say how many yrs because that sad
I believe the woman he's singing to at the beginning IS the woman that left him yrs ago and came back trying to regain what she walked away from ... He says "you've been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears" This is his way I won't be hurt again. like at the beginning it is almost like payback or What she did coming back to haunt her
OH WOW... I've been explaining this song to people for years as though he was so torched by that ex that he uses her old brush-off line in his more current relationships. It never occurred to me that it could be him getting back at the SAME girl after getting back together. Perhaps when he says that the only girl he ever loved so long ago WAS her, but he's talking like she was mentally/emotionally a different person as compared to her now. A nice angle, RNE !
@@derklavierspieler7491 If you are correct with your source, then I guess thanks are in order for settling the dispute. I'm always willing to admit when I'm wrong when facts are introduced that counter my claims. That said, one thing that makes music fun is that great songs are open to multiple interpretations by the listener, despite what the artist intended. Agree?
He was saying this to a current lady bc many years ago a different lady that he STILL loves said the exact same thing to him. Always breaks me when he sings the part "well she kissed me and got out of our bed". Great reaction guys!
It's the same woman. She broke his heart years earlier and then tried to come back and he turns the tables on her and gives her a taste of her own medicine by telling her the same thing she told him.
When we went to his 1978 Bat Out Of Hell concert this song was the only song we knew or had heard. The concert was absolutely phenomenal and blew us away! I bought the album the next day and am still listening to his music to this day! RIP songwriter/pianist Jim Steinman. RIP Marvin Lee Aday (Meatloaf). Thank you both for your reaction! Every song off this album is well worth a reaction, especially "Bat Out Of Hell" and "For Crying Out Loud"!
If you want another emotionally draining song off the same Meatloaf album that included 2 or 3 Ain't Bad, give For Crying Out Loud a try. This one takes a little more time to build, but when it hits, WOW!
The Man playing the Piano is Jim Steinman, the writer of Meatloaf's songs, this is a great Album and being a teenager in the seventies I cannot tell you how many women I allowed to take advantage of my drunken self while this album played.
Makes me so happy to see you guys loving my favorite song of all time….So many beautifully haunting memories attached 🥹. I STILL play it regularly (on REPEAT) much to my kids’ dismay…😁
The song is about honesty though. In the beginning of the song he was honest enough to tell someone he could never love them instead of leading them on. Then he flashed back to when the same thing was said to him. Ending things is never painless. Another old song with a similar sentiment is Mac Davis' "Don't Get Hooked on Me".
Actually that is not accurate. In the beginning of the song , he was singing it from her point of view, , what she said to him the stormy night how she walked out on him and how she left him. Many people assume that he was telling that to someone else, but no he was singing it from her point of view. Then later in the song he confirms it when he retells the story about how she left him that day.
Asia, you looked perplexed and worried through the second half of the song. It's terribly sad watching Meat and Jim performing knowing they're gone, that there'll be no more music from them. RIP to both, an amazing team ❤
My first boyfriend way back in the day bought me the bat out of hell album in 1977. I was 16 and recognized immmmediately the genius of Meatloaf. His songs are puzzles that must be put together. I believe the women who left him in the end of the song is the women he is leaving in the beginning of the song. She was in his past as well as his present life. In the beginning he tells her that she was cold to him for so many years that he cried icicles instead of tears!!! Now the table is revered She wants him back but he needs her and wants her but can never love.her. Again !!! He does not say again but I feel she turned him away in the past. ??? Love your channel. Much success.
If you ever truly loved someone with ALL your heart you'd understand completely. I've been there, in that situation. I loved someone that wanted me a fraction of the time and needed me another small fraction but never loved me. But I loved him, always will. I know I'll spend the rest of my life alone and have accepted that but it sure beats the hell out of trying to force myself to love again. Sad situation but is what it is.
It is the SAME girl he is singing about. He loved her when they were young ( you been cold to me so long) but he was not good enough for her. ( can't tell you I;m something I'm not. ) So she spent her life looking for someone better. (gold, oil, rubies, Coupe De Ville.) When she figured out the only person that loved her was him, she wanted him back but she had broken his heart.
If you didn't have this album back in the day, you totally weren't cool. I think y'all are ready for Rammstein. Please react to "Du Hast", from their Paris concert. It's all kinds of awesome!
Gosh..I miss him already. All this music from the past you two have been listening to is part of my past. My generation grew up on all these great rock groups. And we didn't take them for granted...this was normal to have such quality of music..singers..and musicians. Ssdly..they are all around the same age..and we are going to lose them pretty much around the same time. We already have been. Thanks for keeping that generation of music alive Its what I will be listening to till my dying day.
“Bat out of Hell” was one of the best albums of the late 70’s. Like Hotel California from The Eagles, and Rumours from Fleetwood Mac, not a bad song on the album.
It's real. I've lived this song. I loved one person and she's gone. I've had other people in my life after, but I will never feel what I felt with that one person. Doesn't mean I don't feel the need to have them around and be with them any less.
I loved your reaction to his and I heard a couple of songs today that made me think, "I wonder if Asia and BJ have heard this?" Check out Billy Squier, The Stroke" and Journey, "Send her my Love".
Meat Loaf truly was one of a kind. I had the privilege to see him live and he did not disappoint. please give For Crying Out Loud a listen. I think its one of his best
BJ stopped it right on Jim Steinman. He was always in the film clips quietly playng the piano. What a genuis songwriter he was. RIP great man. RIP Meat Loaf x
So good to see people appreciating Meatloaf. Coming off age in the 90s, I was the only one among my friends (I'm a black Briton) who loved him so I never got to see him live. Such an amazing story teller, with a huge voice, full of heart! So sad that he's no longer with us. May his Soul rest in God's perfect peace, amen.
👌😂👍awesome you guy’s finally listened to our request! This is definitely one of his best songs! And put him on the map! I was about 13 years old when this one hit the radio waves! Man he definitely will be missed!😢🙏Rip meatloaf! Loved your reaction!♥️
Excellent reaction!!! I had the pleasure of seeing him a few years ago. I can honestly say it was one of the best concerts I have gone to. He has a beautiful voice and he actually trembles when he sings. I was so sad when he passed. Why is it that so many artists are taken from us way to early in life... So sad💔💔😥😥 RIP Meatloaf
Seeing your reactions touched me. So, heartfelt thanks and gratitude. The song writer behind Bat Out Of Hell is Jim Steinman. He collaborated with Meatloaf, Todd Rundgren, and Ellen Foley to create that album (and-damn-if-it-ain't-good). Some other cool stuff he did includes -Total Eclipse Of The Heart (Bonnie Tyler) -Makin' Love Out Of Nothing At All (Air Supply) ...and almost the whole sound track to Streets Of Fire. I don't know is this will resonate (maybe too slow for RUclips) but 'Heaven Can Wait' from Bat Out Of Hell is intense and Meatloaf nailed it, that one slips under the radar. Putting some of Jim's songs (side-by-side-by-side) might be cool if you're into it. Thanks, Love, and Blessings from an old rocker who is seeing the music I grew up with come to life again. ~L
My mom was a huge Meatloaf fan so I heard this song often as a kid. I forgot about it and heard it again after about 25yrs. I listened to the words and truly heard this song, the lyrics...I grew up a bit, lol
Cuts like a knife, everyone’s been there, that situation in a relationship where one is more into the other, that feeling is raw deep, great song by one of the all time great song writers and singers Jim Stienman and Meat Loaf, from one of the greatest albums of all time, plus one of the best selling albums of all time and to think no one wanted them on their label, shows how stupid ignorant the industry is even today, we won’t ever get music or artists like this again. 522 weeks in the charts multi multi plus plus Platinum, grew up on this Album and Meat, so hard to think where time has gone and where music and the times we had back then have gone, been to his concerts one of the best live. 🤘Even when this came out few knew how to take it, except the fans of true music and genius. As good as it is people learnt to get last the commercial bs into it, ai never understood why people couldn’t see how truly good this was at the time. I was primary school kid riding on a bus and I got this music. They were really great live, it was an experience, more so than the events around the music eg crowd and what’s happening there, that’s how good he and the whole production were.
Great reaction guys! No doubt, one of my favorite songs by Meatloaf! You guys should get into some Billy Joel....sooo many great ones to check out! "She's always a Woman", "Vienna", "The Longest Time", "Don't ask me Why"....all top-notch!
I'd do anything for love (12minute Version) For crying out loud Read em and weep Good girls go to heaven Everything louder than everything else Those are the songs you need to react to
Meatloaf is one of they artists that makes you Feel. I get that with the Eagles too. & others. That is the beauty of their craft. you don't just get it in the ears. You get it in the chest & the gut too.
Meatloaf, Bat out of hell was one of the best albums ever, ❤ If you talk about Meatloaf we must mention Jim Steiman who wrote and produced all Mealoaf songs, an incredible artist also
my husband and my oldest daughter and I met this wonderful man at a convention where he was doing a reunion with his Rocky horror picture show cast and he was so incredibly nice and probably the most humble celebrity I have ever met....he was signing a record of the soundtrack and remembered my name and my daughter's name but forgot my husband's name and said and I quote "Well 2 out if 3 isn't bad" I swear I could have died happy right then.. such a treasure that the world is less bright without! RIP Meatloaf 🙏
BJ you you were right about a Meatloaf concert, was lucky enough to see him in 96 and it was one of the best live performances you could ask for, and certainly kept the audience captivated!
i remember when this album came out it was new and different and now 40 years later i still enjoy his music and it never gets boring it is perfection on the highest scale thank you for these beautiful songs
seen him live in London and he stop the show and him and his daughter with the support band did an acoustic set with the audience calling out songs from the charts at that time and they just on the spot covered them it was magical. A true showman .
Meatloaf was an amazing singer and one of the best performers of all time, but the pianist Jim Steinman was his equal as he's considered to be one of the best songwriter/composers of all time. His lyrics are amazing.
You definitely missed out on...Meatloaf, Journey ( & a few Steve Perry solo hits), Hall & Oates, Prince, Foreigner, Billy Joel, Michael McDonald, so many. And, if you want to be totally shocked...listen to the crazy loud KISS sing a beautiful love song "Beth". :) A beautiful song about the drummer missing his wife while they are constantly on the road.
I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being. Marvin Lee Aday (Michael) AKA Meatloaf your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the decades of memories.
here here. I feel the same.
I agree as well! 25% of my play list is meatloaf! Sing with angels and thanks for making our Rock and Roll Dreams Come True!
You feel like it, that's because it did... straight up.
Ah so your Bye Bye Miss American Pie would be around Meat Loaf rather than Buddy Holley. By the way, I agree, Meatloaf did not just sing songs, he created ballads.
You really need to play through the entire Bat Out Of Hell album. I'm not sure a more complete record was ever made. It's solid from start to finish.
Yes, so true.
Not a bad song on that entire album.
I certainly wouldn't say it is "solid". The correct word is brilliant.
There are a few albums that are complete like BOOH - Pink Floyd's "The Wall" or The Who's "Quadrophenia" come to mind.
Phoenix, AZ.
Yep, every single song.
Meatloaf was a powerful singer of emotions to the point I feel like I'm living the same emotions he's expressing.
Well said Thomas,he will always be great
Asia, I absolutely loved your expression during this song. I was 5 years old when I first heard this. My mom would go in her room and play this album. And I still love his music. It never gets old. Please listen to For Crying Out Loud, it's a beautiful song. True poetry.
I'll second that. And he uses the term For Crying Out Loud for a couple of different meanings in the song. Clever Jim
I couldn’t stop laughing at her quizzical expression. Too funny.
Definitely listen to For Crying Out Loud, you'll love it Asia!
the piano player in this video is Jim Steinman who wrote all of Meatloafs great songs!!
Not all, there's some awesome songs on the Bad Attitude album written by other people
He was part of my growing up years. I love watching you two enjoying these tunes that meant a lot to me back then. RIP Meatloaf!
Soundtrack of my youth as well... How lucky we were - Bat out of hell, Boston's first album and Hotel California - all within the space of one year!
The best line in any heartbreak song I have ever heard: "You've been cold to me so long I'm crying icycles instead of tears."
Jim Steinman wrote all of Meatloaf's hits.
no... so are women allways... but he isnt a rubin in a mountain of rocks hit it much better...

Congrats !! You're one of the few who got that right.

I can really tell that Asia is into this song by the serious look on her face😌
She looks angry
@@tdflooringtd I think that she's just really focused on the lyrics, and his voice

It's terribly sad watching Meat and Jim performing knowing they're gone, that there'll be no more music from them.

He was definitely great in concert. Saw him in Detroit.
This is in my top 5 favorite songs. Ever. Since 4th grade. Lol. I’m 54 now.

Now the table is revered
She wants him back but he needs her and wants her but can never love.her.
Again !!!
He does not say again but I feel she turned him away in the past. ???
Love your channel. Much success.
Watch his duet with Marion Raven " It's All Coming Back To Me Know" official video. Celine did the song but Meatloaf's version is fantastic !!
Another surprise was Marie Osmond and Meatloaf did a duet
Favorite song when I was 11...lol...R.I.P.
There will never be another Meatloaf, so much range in his vocals he will be sorely missed !!!!!
RIP to a legend. For crying out loud, I lie for you and You took the words outta my mouth are some of my favorites.
One of the all time great male performances. Every guy wishes he could sing like this cat.
One of a kind rock/opera singer. He didn't write the songs but he made them live
Such a painfully sad song. He was a beautiful singer.
This song still resonates with me now at 61..rip my beautiful loaf😭

He was also a Great Actor. RIP Meat Loaf & thanks for your Music
Love you two!
Great reactions and insights.
I was in high school when Bat Out of Hell came out. Saw him in concert a few times. He brought every time. Every song on the album is great!
Saw Meatloaf twice and it was incredible !!!
Few, if any, better combinations better than Steinman's writing and Meatloaf's delivery of the song.
A great Meatloaf song. R.I.P.
“Bat out of Hell” was one of the best albums of the late 70’s. Like Hotel California from The Eagles, and Rumours from Fleetwood Mac, not a bad song on the album.

I think some people feel that they don't know how to love because they were not given love before adulthood.
His love belonged to someone else.. lovelovelove ❤️🌸✌🏻
Beautiful reaction Asia during the song . You seemed to be blown away . And your beautiful too ❤
BJ stopped it right on Jim Steinman. He was always in the film clips quietly playng the piano. What a genuis songwriter he was. RIP great man. RIP Meat Loaf x
So good to see people appreciating Meatloaf. Coming off age in the 90s, I was the only one among my friends (I'm a black Briton) who loved him so I never got to see him live. Such an amazing story teller, with a huge voice, full of heart! So sad that he's no longer with us. May his Soul rest in God's perfect peace, amen.
👌😂👍awesome you guy’s finally listened to our request! This is definitely one of his best songs! And put him on the map! I was about 13 years old when this one hit the radio waves! Man he definitely will be missed!😢🙏Rip meatloaf! Loved your reaction!♥️
Excellent reaction!!! I had the pleasure of seeing him a few years ago. I can honestly say it was one of the best concerts I have gone to. He has a beautiful voice and he actually trembles when he sings. I was so sad when he passed. Why is it that so many artists are taken from us way to early in life... So sad💔💔😥😥 RIP Meatloaf
Seeing your reactions touched me. So, heartfelt thanks and gratitude. The song writer behind Bat Out Of Hell is Jim Steinman. He collaborated with Meatloaf, Todd Rundgren, and Ellen Foley to create that album (and-damn-if-it-ain't-good).
Some other cool stuff he did includes -Total Eclipse Of The Heart (Bonnie Tyler) -Makin' Love Out Of Nothing At All (Air Supply) ...and almost the whole sound track to Streets Of Fire.
I don't know is this will resonate (maybe too slow for RUclips) but 'Heaven Can Wait' from Bat Out Of Hell is intense and Meatloaf nailed it, that one slips under the radar.
Putting some of Jim's songs (side-by-side-by-side) might be cool if you're into it.
Thanks, Love, and Blessings from an old rocker who is seeing the music I grew up with come to life again.

My mom was a huge Meatloaf fan so I heard this song often as a kid. I forgot about it and heard it again after about 25yrs. I listened to the words and truly heard this song, the lyrics...I grew up a bit, lol
Cuts like a knife, everyone’s been there, that situation in a relationship where one is more into the other, that feeling is raw deep, great song by one of the all time great song writers and singers Jim Stienman and Meat Loaf, from one of the greatest albums of all time, plus one of the best selling albums of all time and to think no one wanted them on their label, shows how stupid ignorant the industry is even today, we won’t ever get music or artists like this again. 522 weeks in the charts multi multi plus plus Platinum, grew up on this Album and Meat, so hard to think where time has gone and where music and the times we had back then have gone, been to his concerts one of the best live. 🤘Even when this came out few knew how to take it, except the fans of true music and genius. As good as it is people learnt to get last the commercial bs into it, ai never understood why people couldn’t see how truly good this was at the time. I was primary school kid riding on a bus and I got this music. They were really great live, it was an experience, more so than the events around the music eg crowd and what’s happening there, that’s how good he and the whole production were.
For crying out loud and heaven can wait are beautiful songs.
Great reaction guys! No doubt, one of my favorite songs by Meatloaf! You guys should get into some Billy Joel....sooo many great ones to check out! "She's always a Woman", "Vienna", "The Longest Time", "Don't ask me Why"....all top-notch!
He was at the top of his game. Absolutely amazing performer and entertainer.
EVERYBODY n the music industry KNOWS who Meatloaf is !
Seen him in a live concert with him and his daughter singing their hearts out. One grand show.
I'd do anything for love (12minute Version)
For crying out loud
Read em and weep
Good girls go to heaven
Everything louder than everything else
Those are the songs you need to react to
You should hear "objects in the rear view mirror" by meat loaf, great as well!!!!
Meatloaf is one of they artists that makes you Feel. I get that with the Eagles too. & others. That is the beauty of their craft. you don't just get it in the ears. You get it in the chest & the gut too.
What a voice.
Meatloaf, Bat out of hell was one of the best albums ever, ❤
If you talk about Meatloaf we must mention Jim Steiman who wrote and produced all Mealoaf songs, an incredible artist also
my husband and my oldest daughter and I met this wonderful man at a convention where he was doing a reunion with his Rocky horror picture show cast and he was so incredibly nice and probably the most humble celebrity I have ever met....he was signing a record of the soundtrack and remembered my name and my daughter's name but forgot my husband's name and said and I quote "Well 2 out if 3 isn't bad" I swear I could have died happy right then.. such a treasure that the world is less bright without! RIP Meatloaf 🙏
I feel like Meatloaf was such an underrated artist. Like others said listen to the whole Bat out of Hell album. His music pulls you in. #RIP
Watching Asia's face through this song was magical...
Great reaction,, please try "You took the words right out of my mouth" from the great bat out of hell album
Classic message and tune from the legendary performer, meatloaf 🙏💞
We were very lucky to have been graced with his opera-style voice/performances. This song always hits me right in the feels.
One of the best songs ever!! And one of the most powerful performances!!
BJ you you were right about a Meatloaf concert, was lucky enough to see him in 96 and it was one of the best live performances you could ask for, and certainly kept the audience captivated!
This was the first release from the Bat Out Of Hell album back in 1977, first time I heard it on my car radio, it blew me away.
He sings with his guts, what a performance! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
i remember when this album came out it was new and different and now 40 years later i still enjoy his music and it never gets boring it is perfection on the highest scale thank you for these beautiful songs
seen him live in London and he stop the show and him and his daughter with the support band did an acoustic set with the audience calling out songs from the charts at that time and they just on the spot covered them it was magical.
A true showman .
Meatloaf was an amazing singer and one of the best performers of all time, but the pianist Jim Steinman was his equal as he's considered to be one of the best songwriter/composers of all time. His lyrics are amazing.
You definitely missed out on...Meatloaf, Journey ( & a few Steve Perry solo hits), Hall & Oates, Prince, Foreigner, Billy Joel, Michael McDonald, so many. And, if you want to be totally shocked...listen to the crazy loud KISS sing a beautiful love song "Beth". :) A beautiful song about the drummer missing his wife while they are constantly on the road.
Meat embodies the song. No one recommends 'All Revved Up With No Place To Go'. Another great song of the first album.
One of my favorites that never gets attention, along with For Cryin Out Loud.
