"You've been drinking poisoned waters from the fountain of youth." A beautiful lyric about the danger of looking backward and not forward in life. Damn I love Steinman.
It's good as a Steinman backing singer as he is paired with some of the strongest voices music has ever had. In any other type of music or paired with weaker voices he would be a good lead vocal.
My favorite Jim and Bonnie collaboration....this lyric is amazing and should've been HUUUUUGE like Eclipse and Bat and Coming Back To Me.....love this one so much
When the sky is falling and you're looking round For somewhere to hide Did you ever call out to someone Did you ever call out to me, I've never been gone- I've been right here by your side There ain't nothin' but clouds There ain't nothin' but clouds in your eyes Why don't you believe it when you finally found the truth You've been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most You're so busy trying to get even You never even try to get close I can't explain it away It doesn't make any sense To know what it's like I guess you gotta go through it It doesn't matter baby Loving you's a dirty job But somebody's gotta do it There were times when we'd never fake it There were times when we'd always make it There were times when we'd take it to the limit And we'd never, never, ever leave each other alone We wee flesh and blood and bone There were times we had it all There were times we had it all There were times when we took our chances There were times we were damn good dancers There were times when we heard all the answers In the beating of the drummer And the riches of the rock and the roll I can see right through your soul There were times we had it all There were times we had it all If your fears could only be forgotten We could pull all the barriers down Would you follow your dream's desire Would you follow your secret dreams And forbidden fire Let's just peel out of this town It's been nothing but dreams It's been nothing but dreams until now You're never gonna see it You got your head stuck in the sand It's the land of the free and easy street It's the home of the damned You're never gonna see it You better open up your eyes You're the only one who's left Who's gonna believe all your lies I can't explain it away It doesn't make any sense Both: To know what it's like I guess you gotta go through it It doesn't matter baby Girl: Loving you's a dirty job But somebody's gotta do it There were times when our bodies glistened There were times that we can't stop missing There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen Both: To the pounding, pounding chorus Of our desperate hearts Nothing could have torn us apart There were times we had it all There were times we had it all There were times when we fought like tigers There were times we were damn good liars There were times we extinguished every fire That was burning, burning, burning, up each other alive From the heavens on down to the dives There were times we lost it all There were times we lost it all There were times when we fought like tigers There were times we were damn good liars Both: There were times when our bodies glistened There were times that we can't stop missing There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen To the pounding, pounding, chorus of our desperate hearts Nothing could have torn us apart There were times we had it all There were times we had it all
Good GOD man, what an amazing song… So dramatic, emotional, and powerful… I’m convinced all of Jim's songs can hit hard if we understand the meaning of his songs, and even more if we have experienced similar situations and challenges. I myself know many people right now who I love as a dirty job, hoping that they will one day see the light and 180 degree change their life… Will forever remember you Jim. Your life was not and will never be in vain. Thank you for all your music. ❤
he's basically a knock off steinman, vocally. I don't have an isolation for Rundgren but seeing Steinman's personality that doesn't surprise me he'd collect another guy that sounds like himself.
@@inlakesh555 Well I've been a good friend of Rorys since we were children together. I know the truth. Jim was a great composer but the voice is Rorys.
I still can't my head around it. There's a few (especially female) singers that just keeps amaze you of how good they are. 2 best examples, Carola Häggkvist and Bonnie Tyler. Never heard this one before and hope that it'll never be forgotten. Amazing jobb, amazing singer (Dodd) and especially, one of the best if not the best singer of all time, Bonnie
King Rick Well it's a new version from older song you already like so generally you will find them better, just because you ve been listening to them for 10-30 years...I'v listened hours of music, alternating orignal song then remake / demo out there and some of them are better, some not, music ain't exactly the same either because a demo is still a demo... Some are hard to compare because the song is way different and some are simply plain better even if music is only piano. For this song, this demo I think is way better than original one but if you take for exemple, a kiss is a terrible thing to waste, the meatloaf version songs better in my opinion.
Meat Loaf can't really sing; his Steinman songs are only good until you've heard Rory Dodd, Holly Sherwood or Jim Steinman himself, sing the song in question. Just take Heaven Can Wait, with Karla DeVito, as a case in point: far superior to Meat Loaf's version, and Meat Loaf's cover of Original Sin, which I heard after the Pandora's Box version, totally sucks. Also, you're wrong about new version; I hear new covers of Total Eclipse of the Heart all the time, I don't like them more over Bonnie's original version, because all of these covers recorded by mediocre singers, are inferior. However, I'm pretty sure that Holly Sherwood could sing TEOTH better than Bonnie. Holly Sherwood and Rory Dodd are Steinman's two top singers, ever. Bonnie was good until their second collaboration, but the only reason Bonnie Tyler became Steinman's new top dog, is simply because her record company paid Steinman good money. Other than that, Steinman has worked with many talented singers over the years, certainly more talented than both Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler.
I had never heard of him I was looking for different versions of making love out of nothing at all, has much as I like the air supply version I felt it needed more rare passion and Rory nailed it. He doesn't seem to have much material on RUclips.
Dommage que le label n'est pas voulu Rory Dodd... car c'était bien la version sensé être éditée ! Mais bon... sa voix traine malgré tout sur la version éditée même si c'est Todd Rundgren qui a été choisi car plus connu !
agreed, and great observation. Dodd is probably Steinman's most technically brilliant singer, but the others imbue his words with so much emotion-Tyler,Rundgren, and of course MeatLoaf. You have to give it your all with a Steinman song. Dodd does, but he can't quite own it the way Bonnie Tyler does.
@Whateverwhoification - may be the case sometimes, but on "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through", Rory Dodd owns it, makes it, becomes it, _is_ it. All the awe, tenderness, reassurance and hope the song contains is expressed beautifully in his voice and singing. Can't take that one away from him.
When the sky is falling and you're looking round for somewhere to hide Did you ever call out to someone, did you ever call out to me … I've never been gone, I've been right here by your side There ain't nothin' but clouds, there ain't nothin' but clouds in your eyes … Why don't you believe it when you finally found the truth You've been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth … Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most You're so busy trying to get even, you never even try to get close … I can't explain it away, it doesn't make any sense To know what it's like, I guess you gotta go through it I guess you gotta go through it, I guess you gotta go through it It doesn't matter, baby … Loving you's a dirty job But somebody's gotta do it … There were times when we'd never fake it There were times when we'd always make it There were times when we'd take it to the limit And we'd never, never, ever leave each other alone … We were flesh and blood and bone There were times we had it all There were times we had it all … There were times when we took our chances There were times when we were damn good dancers There were times when we heard all the answers In the beating of the drummer and the riches of the rock and the roll … I can see right through your soul There were times we had it all There were times we had it all … If your fears could only be forgotten, we could pull all of the barriers down Would you follow your dreams' desire Would you follow your secret dreams and forbidden fire Let's just peel out of this town … It's been nothing but dreams It's been nothing but dreams until now … You're never gonna see it You got your head stuck in the sand It's the land of the free and easy Street It's the home of the damned … You're never gonna see it You better open up your eyes You're the only one who's left Who's gonna believe all your lies … I can't explain it away, it doesn't make any sense To know what it's like, I guess you gotta go through it I guess you gotta go through it, I guess you gotta go through it It doesn't matter, baby … Loving you's a dirty job But somebody's gotta do it There were times when our bodies glistened There were times that we can't stop missing There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen to the pounding Pounding chorus of our desperate hearts … Nothing could have torn us apart There were times we had it all There were times we had it all … There were times when we fought like tigers There were times we were damn good liars There were times we extinguished every fire That was burning, burning, burning up each other alive … From the heavens on down to the dives There were times we lost it all There were times we lost it all … There were times when we fought like tigers There were times we were damn good liars … There were times when our bodies glistened There were times that we can't stop missing There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen to the pounding Pounding chorus of our desperate hearts … Nothing could have torn us apart There were times we had it all There were times we had it all … There were times we had it all (it's a dirty job) (Loving you, baby, somebody's gotta do it)
Didn't say the other was no good, just that Rory is a better singer. Todd is a phenomenal musician and excellent songwriter. Todd was and still is more commercially viable which is why he was chosen to record the single over Rory.
Acá en Argentina lo llamamos "demo", que es le versión de prueba que antecede a la final que es la que se editará y se difundirá por radio, entonces.......para ser un "demo"está muy bien hecha!!!!! me encanta!!!
C'était pas une démo à la base mais bien la version que Steinman voulait sortir ! Rory Dodd chante le duo et les chœurs de total éclipse of the heart, je pense qu'il voulait les réunir pour une nouvelle histoire mais le label n'a pas voulu promouvoir car Rory Dodd était inconnu du public même si sa voix est connue dans le monde entier... ducoup c'est Todd Rundgren qui est choisi même si la voix de Rory traine par moment... des chœurs ont été rajouté ou il y figure dedans ! Mais cette version était bien meilleure...
The track list is: Who Needs The Young, Going All The Way Is Just The Start, Speaking in Tongues, Loving You's A Dirty Job, Souvenirs, Only When I Feel, More, Godz, Skull of Your Country & Train of Love. I listened to the entire album, minus Skull of Your Country, during the Apple Music leak & Meat does a fantastic job with this song. Well worth checking out come September. See iTunes for song previews.
Althought Rory's had a very great voice, I do prefer Todd's rendition that I felt a bit more passionate (and I miss the grainy thing he added in). Thanks for the share, this version is also great!
Totally agreed, Rory Dodd is far superior as a singer. I actually like Bonnie's voice with Steinman up to this album, then her voice got too screwed up and husky, it's not really all that listenable to, today. Anyway, I'd love to hear a Loving You's a Dirty Job, with Rory and Holly Sherwood. But even so, this version is totally great. Rory totally hits the high notes and syncs beautifully with Bonnie.
Der Zauber dieses Liedes wird ausschliesslich durch Jim's Genialität als Songwriter und Bonnie Tyler außergewöhnlicher, einzigartiger Stimme erweckt. Tut mir leid, aber der männliche Part ist flach und fade. Jim hätte über seinen Schatten springen sollen, das Kriegsbeil gegen Meat vergraben sollen und exakt dieses fantastische Machwerk von Meat als männlichen Part dieses Duetts singen lassen sollen.
Rory Dodd avait une voix de Falsetto. Il chanté de façon angélique. Justement c'était pour contraster avec la voix rocailleuse et grave de Bonnie. Comme sur total éclipse of the heart c'est Rory Dodd la voix duo et de chœur et sa contraste bien.
It already is perfect. Although personally I think Bonnie Tyler could have been replaced by Holly Sherwood, but Bonnie did a good job here, she still sang good in the mid 80s. In any case, this demo is actually the best version of the song. Rory Dodd sings much better than Todd Rundgren.
Another song where Jim and Meatloaf teamed up to show the progression of time in Braver Than we Are. Old Jim, Rory, Bonnie song redone in a new way but tying in the theme of the album which is wrapping up great careers and a life where we just get older. : ruclips.net/video/sToaSTxdT7A/видео.html
Not really if you want to say he sounds like Steinman on songs like "Surf's up, Rock and Roll Dreams come true or Lost Boys and Golden Girls from the Bad for Godd album that's because Rory Dodd actuall sang the album versions of these three songs. Steinman only sang the rest of the album.
@@NeovenatorRex I always thought he sounded a lot like Steinman on Bad for Good, and he did. Rory could sing every note Steinman asked him to sing, and while Steinman's voice is really beautiful, Rory's is technically better and stronger. It's a shame Rory didn't get much credit for Surf's Up and the other songs he sang on BFG. I maintain that Steinman should have formed a band with Rory Dodd and Holly Sherwood.
@@loughrey101 No, Rory Dodd sang "Rock and Roll Dreams come true, Surf's up and Lost Boys and Golden Girls" from the Bad for Good Album uncredited. The other songs from the album are really sung by Jim Steinman.
Probabyl for political reasons. While Meat Loaf ist the best singer of all time (in my opinion) his politicial views seem to be far off what I would support. I guess, for a musical reason he definitly should be included, but I understand that he is not.
@@NeovenatorRex I simply can’t believe that I’ve just read what you wrote... so sad to see art, skill and tallent judged through narrow minded political views. Hope you have a happy life, dude. All the best to you, you’ll need it.
@@sinajakelic it is just my theory on why he isn't in, if I would decide, of course I would put him in the hall of fame. His music isn't political, so he shouldn't be juged for it. That is what I wanted to say. Sadly, he is.
His voice is great but it is as if he's rushing the ends of the verses. That is not good... I think. 🤔 Maybe I'm just used to Todd's amazing voice in this brilliant song by Steinman.
What a beautiful song & voices.
Rory Dodd deserved more fame. He didn't have the fair chance. He deserved more.
"You've been drinking poisoned waters from the fountain of youth." A beautiful lyric about the danger of looking backward and not forward in life. Damn I love Steinman.
One of my favorite lyrics too.
I always thought that meant cheating on your wife with a younger woman.
RIP to the lyrical genius ... Jim Steinman
Bonnie Tyler to the Rock and Roll 🎸 Hall Of Fame Now!
Tune...RIP Jim Steinman.Close your eyes and just listen to how Good this version is.
Rory's voice made in heaven.
It's good as a Steinman backing singer as he is paired with some of the strongest voices music has ever had. In any other type of music or paired with weaker voices he would be a good lead vocal.
I'm crying and going through your songs tonight, The Historian. I wish Rory Dodd's demos were available to purchase.
Me too!
I love you Rory Dodd. You have an angelic voice.
This is one of my all time favourites, this is MEGA deserves to be heard by all.
jim steinman is genious
I’m surprised Rory Dodd didn’t have a successful solo career. He has an amazing voice!!!
So true...Too many awesome voices left underappreciated.
He does. But the moustache 🤪
Rory's voice is so similar to Jim's, just more expressive.
I agree, he had a gorgeous voice for MOR rock/pop in the 80’s.
He said he didn’t want to be in the spotlights, unfortunately for us.
My favorite Jim and Bonnie collaboration....this lyric is amazing and should've been HUUUUUGE like Eclipse and Bat and Coming Back To Me.....love this one so much
When the sky is falling and you're looking round
For somewhere to hide
Did you ever call out to someone
Did you ever call out to me, I've never been gone-
I've been right here by your side
There ain't nothin' but clouds
There ain't nothin' but clouds in your eyes
Why don't you believe it when you finally found the truth
You've been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth
Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most
You're so busy trying to get even
You never even try to get close
I can't explain it away
It doesn't make any sense
To know what it's like
I guess you gotta go through it
It doesn't matter baby
Loving you's a dirty job
But somebody's gotta do it
There were times when we'd never fake it
There were times when we'd always make it
There were times when we'd take it to the limit
And we'd never, never, ever leave each other alone
We wee flesh and blood and bone
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
There were times when we took our chances
There were times we were damn good dancers
There were times when we heard all the answers
In the beating of the drummer
And the riches of the rock and the roll
I can see right through your soul
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
If your fears could only be forgotten
We could pull all the barriers down
Would you follow your dream's desire
Would you follow your secret dreams
And forbidden fire
Let's just peel out of this town
It's been nothing but dreams
It's been nothing but dreams until now
You're never gonna see it
You got your head stuck in the sand
It's the land of the free and easy street
It's the home of the damned
You're never gonna see it
You better open up your eyes
You're the only one who's left
Who's gonna believe all your lies
I can't explain it away
It doesn't make any sense
Both: To know what it's like
I guess you gotta go through it
It doesn't matter baby
Girl: Loving you's a dirty job
But somebody's gotta do it
There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we can't stop missing
There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen
Both: To the pounding, pounding chorus
Of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
There were times when we fought like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars
There were times we extinguished every fire
That was burning, burning, burning, up each other alive
From the heavens on down to the dives
There were times we lost it all
There were times we lost it all
There were times when we fought like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars
Both: There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we can't stop missing
There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen
To the pounding, pounding, chorus of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
Thanks lot
Another masterpiece from Jim Steinman.....i love this man!
Rory Dodd, the ultimate "background" singer secret weapon.
Rory is great, but so is she. Damn. Love that voice.
Good GOD man, what an amazing song… So dramatic, emotional, and powerful…
I’m convinced all of Jim's songs can hit hard if we understand the meaning of his songs, and even more if we have experienced similar situations and challenges. I myself know many people right now who I love as a dirty job, hoping that they will one day see the light and 180 degree change their life…
Will forever remember you Jim. Your life was not and will never be in vain. Thank you for all your music. ❤
Rory Dodd you Rock!!!!!
Deus abençoe Jim Steinman....sem ele jamais teríamos tantas boas lembranças na vida.
Rip Jim, a true genius ✌
Never heard this one before. Great recording, it could easily have been another world-famous Steinman classic.
Rory Dodd was the best singer ever. I love his voice.
RIP Jim
I’m surprised they didn’t just keep Rory Dodd on the song. His voice is amazing! And sounds almost like Todd Rundgren!
he's basically a knock off steinman, vocally. I don't have an isolation for Rundgren but seeing Steinman's personality that doesn't surprise me he'd collect another guy that sounds like himself.
@@afuzzycreature8387 He sounds like Steinman because he WAS Steinman's voice. Steinman was very good at lip syncing.
@@bluemut55No. They sang "Surf's up" together, and you can hear the differences.
@@inlakesh555 Well I've been a good friend of Rorys since we were children together. I know the truth. Jim was a great composer but the voice is Rorys.
I still can't my head around it. There's a few (especially female) singers that just keeps amaze you of how good they are. 2 best examples, Carola Häggkvist and Bonnie Tyler. Never heard this one before and hope that it'll never be forgotten. Amazing jobb, amazing singer (Dodd) and especially, one of the best if not the best singer of all time, Bonnie
Outstanding - love the clarity of this version
"There were times when we had it all"....some of the saddest words ever written
The gems on this channel are fantastic. This is one of them.
Rory Dodd and Holly Sherwood, the two best Jim Steinman singers, it's a shame he never really formed a band with them (Fire Inc. was only two songs).
EliasAlucard I know! I prefer Jim's demos with Rory over the actual song with that meatwad guy
King Rick If only Jim released all his Rory and Holly demos! Man, would that be awesome.

Such a powerful and profound song...the lyrics are so deep and yes Rory did better than Todd...Todd is a genius but Rory nailed this.
We have to remember this is a demo, far from a finished version. Image the potential, a worthy follow up to Total Eclipse
C'est également Rory Dodd qui a enregistré la voix duo et de chœur sur total éclipse of the heart. Mais son nom ne figure pas mais il est crédité !
Rory and Eric Troyer provided all the backing vocals to the song.

You don't have to imagine too hard. The final version is on Bonnie's 1986 album. It sadly bombed as a single in the UK.
🥰👍💖c'est magnifique

Rundgren pulls off the emotion of the song better but the control of vocals and the general quality of Dodd is higher. My personal take on the two.

Much better than the album version IMHO -- Rory's a greater singer than Todd hands down.
Didn't say the other was no good, just that Rory is a better singer. Todd is a phenomenal musician and excellent songwriter. Todd was and still is more commercially viable which is why he was chosen to record the single over Rory.
Tyler wasn't on Bat-but I wish she had been!! She sounds great; both her and Rory are fantastic!
so was todd chosen likely just for the commercial viability as you said?

Exlellent!
Rory should have gotten the final version instead of Todd Rundgren, who's fine, but not on the same level vocally.
Totally agreed, Rory Dodd is far superior as a singer. I actually like Bonnie's voice with Steinman up to this album, then her voice got too screwed up and husky, it's not really all that listenable to, today. Anyway, I'd love to hear a Loving You's a Dirty Job, with Rory and Holly Sherwood. But even so, this version is totally great. Rory totally hits the high notes and syncs beautifully with Bonnie.
@@loughrey101 the older voice works... but rory is techincally better
But Todd was more famous😉
Interesting. You can see the beginnings of the final version.
Ami es la versión que mas me gusta fantástica
Der Zauber dieses Liedes wird ausschliesslich durch Jim's Genialität als Songwriter und Bonnie Tyler außergewöhnlicher, einzigartiger Stimme erweckt. Tut mir leid, aber der männliche Part ist flach und fade. Jim hätte über seinen Schatten springen sollen, das Kriegsbeil gegen Meat vergraben sollen und exakt dieses fantastische Machwerk von Meat als männlichen Part dieses Duetts singen lassen sollen.
Rory Dodd avait une voix de Falsetto. Il chanté de façon angélique. Justement c'était pour contraster avec la voix rocailleuse et grave de Bonnie. Comme sur total éclipse of the heart c'est Rory Dodd la voix duo et de chœur et sa contraste bien.
Qual a letra da música em português
This would have been perfect sung by Falco and Sloane...
It already is perfect. Although personally I think Bonnie Tyler could have been replaced by Holly Sherwood, but Bonnie did a good job here, she still sang good in the mid 80s. In any case, this demo is actually the best version of the song. Rory Dodd sings much better than Todd Rundgren.
Another song where Jim and Meatloaf teamed up to show the progression of time in Braver Than we Are. Old Jim, Rory, Bonnie song redone in a new way but tying in the theme of the album which is wrapping up great careers and a life where we just get older. : ruclips.net/video/sToaSTxdT7A/видео.html
I thought this was gonna be the Ratt version for some reason.
He sounds a lot like Steinman.
Not really if you want to say he sounds like Steinman on songs like "Surf's up, Rock and Roll Dreams come true or Lost Boys and Golden Girls from the Bad for Godd album that's because Rory Dodd actuall sang the album versions of these three songs. Steinman only sang the rest of the album.
@@NeovenatorRex I always thought he sounded a lot like Steinman on Bad for Good, and he did. Rory could sing every note Steinman asked him to sing, and while Steinman's voice is really beautiful, Rory's is technically better and stronger. It's a shame Rory didn't get much credit for Surf's Up and the other songs he sang on BFG. I maintain that Steinman should have formed a band with Rory Dodd and Holly Sherwood.
@@loughrey101 No, Rory Dodd sang "Rock and Roll Dreams come true, Surf's up and Lost Boys and Golden Girls" from the Bad for Good Album uncredited. The other songs from the album are really sung by Jim Steinman.
Why isn’t Meatloaf in the HOF? He should be nay will be someday!
Probabyl for political reasons. While Meat Loaf ist the best singer of all time (in my opinion) his politicial views seem to be far off what I would support. I guess, for a musical reason he definitly should be included, but I understand that he is not.
@@NeovenatorRex I simply can’t believe that I’ve just read what you wrote... so sad to see art, skill and tallent judged through narrow minded political views. Hope you have a happy life, dude. All the best to you, you’ll need it.
@@sinajakelic it is just my theory on why he isn't in, if I would decide, of course I would put him in the hall of fame. His music isn't political, so he shouldn't be juged for it. That is what I wanted to say. Sadly, he is.
@@NeovenatorRex Fair enough, maybe I was too harsh in my reply because I felt from your comment that you approve of that. I apologise.
His voice is great but it is as if he's rushing the ends of the verses. That is not good... I think. 🤔
Maybe I'm just used to Todd's amazing voice in this brilliant song by Steinman.
This song sounds like me and my wife
it"s better than the album version, without those awfull choirs
Waw at 4:11
The version with Todd Rundgren is better
Thank goodness Meat Loaf turned this into a proper song
LOVE Rory Dodd's voice, but I always kinda thought Bonnie sounded a bit like trailer trash
King Rick hmm trailer trash? Then explain why she was nr.1 in the US for 4 weeks in a row
No such thing as trailer trash in Wales 🏴😂
steinman could be such a genius one minute and then churn out such crap the next
