6:49 is it me or is missing that love part kinda make the other 2 empty
True
The "I want you" could mean to pay the bills and the "I need you" to cook dinner.
The " no way im ever going to love you" Is because he gave his heart to a girl and she broke it and he no longer could give something that he just hasn't got.
@@jade-6777 is THAT what the song is about? Cuts deeper than I originally thought. 💔
@@mattheweudy2396 Yes. The lyrics describe a former lover saying the same thing to the narrator - from: 6:00
Paradise by the dashboard light is my personal favorite, you should check that one out as well. Meat had an amazing ability to bring Jim's music to life. A great and underrated singer. I hope that youtube fixes it's viewer counting machine for you soon. Great video Diane
Rest in peace Meatloaf.
Yeah, I love that one too. We even played that at my wedding
I'll check it out!
@@DianeJennings if you do pay special attention to the lyrics in that one
Absolutely do Paradise by the dashboard lights. My favorite song of all time!
Head phones are a must with that one.
So glad you picked him to react to! You can tell he put everything he had into every song he ever performed. He had such a unique and powerful voice.
It's a crime he wasn't inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame while he was alive. Side note, he apparently preferred to simply be called "Meat"
Did he really?
That’s quite sad
@@DianeJennings He did! I've seen it on video interviews and in articles about him. Mr Loaf just doesn't work
The R&RHOF is a JOKE. If I were a rock artist AT ALL and SOMEHOW was nominated, I'd REJECT it. They let FRIGGIN' "rappers" BEFORE letting in: Bachman-Turner Overdrive, America, Badfinger, Blue Oyster Cult, Bad Company, Joe Cocker, Emerson, Lake & Palmer!!!, The J. Geils Band, The Guess Who!!!, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, REO Speedwagon !!!, I could go on, but I need to have a drink or my blood pressure meds- Or Both. F**k the R&RHOF!!!
Rest in Peace, Meatloaf, your legacy will forever live on!
It's two words... he hated when people got that wrong
@@16driver16 I bet he's rolling over in his grave over that!🙄
The man made some amazing music. He's resting on his laurels now. I'm pretty sure his legacy will go on very comfortably as the awesomeness that it is
@@josephschultz3301 Resting on his Laurels??? Since Jan 20th, 2022...he's been RESTING In PEACE!
The reason they sound like stories the songwriter/keyboardist Jim Steinman wrote this album as a play/musical for the theater group Meatloaf aka Marven Lee Aday was in. FYI Jim wrote Total Eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler) for a play about Vampires in love. Way before Twilight.
I don’t totally get it?
@@DianeJenningsThe writer, Jim Steinman, was influenced by a lot of opera, and wanted to combine rock music with operatic lyrics and performance. This resulted in a lot of songs and albums with deep stories (and an average song length of about 6 minutes)
@@DianeJennings Jim Steinman who wrote all of Meatloaf's hits was a theater geek. He wrote the songs that became Meatloaf's first album "Bat Out of hell" to be a Broadway Musical. Meatloaf was an actor before he was a rock star. He was in the Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) two years before his first album (1977) and was an extra in the movie State Fair (1962). He even stated before he died during an interview in the Irish Examiner "I’ve never thought of myself as a singer. I think of myself as an actor"
"Before I can sing the song, I’ve got to find the character. I don’t just walk in and sing a song".
Most of Meatloaf's hits were written by John Steinman. He also wrote the hit, "Total Eclipse of the Heart", a vampire love story. John Steinman also wrote several songs for the rock opera, "Streets of Fire".
Jim Steinman bud, not John.
@@ythomitnellum
Brain fart on my part. Thanks.
Paradise by the dashboard light is the song.
👍👍
Meat Loaf didn't like his name "Marvin", so he legally changed it into "Michael" in the 80s.
You need to check out the entire Bat Out of Hell album, especially Paradise By the Dashboard Light.
When I was in high school, everyone had this album. So many great songs. For Crying Out Loud is an often overlooked masterpiece.
@@cocoboobenstein Agree wholeheartedly.
Meatloaf doesn't just sing, he tells a story.
Rest in Peace to Meatloaf and his awesome songwriter, Jim Steinman.
Love your engagement to the lyrics. Truly honest song 🎶!! Amazing
Try listening to Paradise by dashboard light, You took the words right out of my mouth, for crying out loud, heaven can wait, all revved up with no place to go, I would do anything for love.
A wonderful song! Great choice Diane! A wonderful, loving song that is a great slow dance song. Another song to check out from Meat is "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" . Another classic!
GREAT VOICE! First time visitor here! Had to when I saw the "thumbnail"! So the Other 5 favorite MEATLOAF songs for me he actually sings on a TED NUGENT album called; FREE FOR ALL. My fave of those is WRITING ON THE WALLS!! A close 2nd is TOGETHER. Well I LOVE YOU SO I TOLD YOU A LIE is pretty good and HAMMER DOWN and STREET RATS!! All great tunes. Hope you have musical peeps to encourage you a listen to these awesome songs. Toppah dee murnnan to ya! Sorry that's all the Irish I know! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Meatloaf was a gift to humanity. I know you don't usually do movies, but if you haven't seen it, you should check out the Rocky Horror Picture Show for oh so many reasons. Great reaction as always.
It is two separate words. He hated it when people wrote it as one
@@16driver16 You said that above as well.
@@balancedactguy I just wanna respect the man's wishes
@@16driver16 Fair Enough!👌
Such a unique and talented artist. He seemed to come out of nowhere exploded then would disappear and return years later and repeat. Imo one of the most talented performers ever both as a singer and actor. I'm surprised "You Took The Words Right Of My Mouth" or "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" didn't come in 2nd? Diane would definitely like both songs being what I refer to as theatrical songs. His acting popped up in little parts "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" "Scavenger Hunt" "Wayne's World" " Keeping the Faith" "Formula 51" and of course "Fight Club."
I think that’s a really cool way of doing things! Being a bit low key 😊
And Hair too (film).
There are a lot of interpretation of the lyrics. Some people think it's the same girl that he is singing about at the beginning and the end.
I always interpreted it as the end of a relationship. They're at that "do you love me" phase, and he's being very bluntly honest (VERY 😅 ) that he doesn't. He really likes her, he wants her in his life, but he doesn't love her, and that's no longer enough. She's asking him to leave on a snowy night according to the lyrics.
Then at the end you find out why: he had his heart broken and he never got over it, by a girl who said the same thing to him. Vicious cycle.😄
Jim Steinman, the songwright who wrote the song and, unless I'm mistaken, the pianist on the song as well, had a gift for crafting musical stories of really kind of dysfunctional love. Meatloaf had a gift for giving those songs *life* in a way other artists rarely managed, though a handful of his song became famous from other artists - "Holding Out for a Hero" and "Total Eclipse of the Heartt" by Bonnie Tyler, "Making Love (Out of Nothing At All)" by Air Supply and even "It's All Coming Back" by Celine Dion.
But Jimmy and Meatloaf were a thunderously strong duo and their unique energy in the music industry is very much missed.
Hail the Travelers. Hail the Tale Spinner, Hail the Story Teller. Good Journey, gentlemen.
Yes, I am sure that is Jim playing piano in the video!
Yes Jim's name is under Meatloaf on the Album. He angry at first because they wanted to be seen as equal on the Albums.
Jim played piano in that video but I believe it was actually played by Roy Bittan who did most of the piano on the Bat out of Hell album.
Steinman is incredibly underrated! The piano player is supposed to be Roy Bittan, Springsteen’s pianist. He is also amazing, having played in most of steinman’s songs and with dire straits’ third album, Bella Donna by Stevie nicks and a lot more while being in the E street band since Born to Run. I personally like to believe that in terms of integrating technique and style into rock piano, he made as much of an impact to rock music as Billy Joel or Elton John!
I'm glad 60 minutes interviewed Meatloaf before he passed. He gave Jim the credit he was due. Their music will still kickstart a Harley!
As a person with a hearing impairment I can't stress enough how much I appreciate Meat Loaf. Not only does he have a beautiful singing voice but the way he is able to enunciate every word, even when singing fast, makes it so easy to pick up the lyrics on first listening. It usually takes me a few runs through the song and sometimes I need to read the lyrics. That could be why I appreciate songs as a whole before I ever get into what they are trying to say.
Ditto.
If you're wantin' more Meatloaf LOL, check out Patadise by the Dashboard Lights off the same album
Paradise by dashboard lights live version only. You will see the total entertainer MeatLoaf was RIP. The man did plays, Movies, and a Rock Star.
You have to remember that Meatloaf and his pals were theater folks, first. They wrote songs that were very theatrical and he assumed a character that acted and sang a part in mini musicals. I think that helps explain a lot!
Jim Steinman wrote all these songs
I'm so excited you chose to react to Meatloaf! This is a great song, though my favorite is "Bat Out of Hell".
Also, you should check out the movie "Rocky Horror Pictureshow" he has an important role in that movie.
Finally, his real life death was so sad:(
I always loved it that Meat Loaf was taken literally in Rocky Horror!
@@islandseeker1260 That was indeed a clever thing.
Meat Loaf appeared in over 50 films and television shows, sometimes as himself or as characters resembling his stage persona. His film roles included Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and Robert Paulson in Fight Club (1999).
In an interview about the song he said that it was the same girl that broke his heart years before and cost him the ability to love again, so years later he returned her own words to her. And that he was incapable of ever loving her again
This
That is just some of Marvin's BS. The song was written by Jim Steinman and he said the inspiration came from hearing an Elvis Presley song. So, nothing to do with Meat Loaf's past affairs. PS Why do so many people continue to ignorantly refer to him as being the same as the food? His nick name and stage name is "Meat Loaf" not "Meatloaf".
I've tried to tell people this same thing and they insist it was what he did to a dif girl...I said he told the story himself in an interview
Jim did write it but it was still referring to same girl
Exactly. All the lyrics make perfect sense that it is the same girl. Otherwise, some lyrics in the first verse don't make sense.
my grandmother over heard me telling my cousin that Meatloaf was one of my favorites. had to eat and "enjoy" her dry meatloaf covered with tomato soup the rest of her life
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. He's repeating her words from yrs ago to her now.
I just saw Your video about "Two Out of Three Ain‘t Bad" and it was the first time I ever saw You. I promise I will return soon to another of Your videos, because You did such an amazing comment about Meatloaf (One of my absolute favourites in rock music!) and I would also recommend a comment on "Paradise by the Dashboard Light“ - and I‘m curious to hear, what else You have to say, just loved this one, bye!
I really liked this song when I was a kid in 1977 I think it was his best tune.
Fun fact, Scott Ian, the rhythm guitarist of the band Anthrax is married to Meat Loaf's daughter Pearl.
his birth name is Michael Lee Aday. but from a very young age, he was a big boy, and his family started calling him Meatloaf. it just stuck. He was a poet, and story teller, and his music encompasses both of those aspects. you should also listen to "Bat out of hell" and really listen to the lyrics.. it is a whole story, from end to end.
First place I ever saw Meatloaf was in The Rocky Horror Pictures Pictureshow. He had a lot of amazing music and a fine acting resume
Lets not forget Jim Steinman who wrote, arranged meatlofts songs - so underrated and forgotten about but genius in his time...
Jim’s my favorite songwriter of all time. Nobody wrote songs like he did (RIP).
Agreed! And you see Jim in the video playing the piano!
@@keymack2477 Yes I was about to write that too.
Jim Steinman is what happened when you let the theater kid write rock songs, and it was glorious
Those who know will never forget. He wrote many songs for many artists, and they are all absolute classics.
Meatloaf has the jams. The whole album Bat out of Hell Jams. It has the song two out of three aint bad on it. the song is kinda on the sad side but still has a good musical sound to it. you took the words right out of my mouth, for crying out loud, all revved up with no place to go are more happier songs.
Yes jams!
@@DianeJennings The other songs on the album are the better jams!
That's the first time I saw him perform that song in a video. He's really "emoting" the lyrics, something not seen often these days, at least in my experience. I and a lot of people can relate to this song, I think.
I loved how dramatic he was and the songs too
He was definitely a theater kid and brought a lot of that theatricality to everything he did.
His best album. Bat out of Hell. Every song on it is good and there are a lot of GREAT songs on it. Listen to Paradise by the dashboard light and then picture American bars all over with people singing every single word when it comes on the jukebox lol That was real for many years here. In some bars it probably still is. I was 15 when this came out in 1977. Meat had a great voice. He was in the original cast of Rocky Horror then played a different part in the movie.
Thanks Diane! This is my favourite Meat Loaf song, even if it is agonizingly heartbreaking. 😭😭😭And yes, I have been on the receiving end of this, so I walked away.
Good on ya!
Brilliant song and sung so well.
"For crying out loud" is quite an experience
I remember hearing this one a lot as a kid in the late 70s. All over the radio and skating rinks. lol. Just aged myself. Old😂
Meatloaf is very much a part of what made being a teenager in the late 70's and early 80's so good - the music rocked.
so true, Bad Attitude by him was the first album I ever bought and I love every song on it, it's very underrated
Same here...
I feel as if a part of my youth died when the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being occurred. Marvin Lee Aday (Michael) AKA Meatloaf your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the decades memories.
He was so under rated, a great artist! Great reaction, I love when you get into the music.
This is my favourite Meatloaf song
You need to watch the video for Paradise by the Dashboard Light. There are two things you need to remember: 1) The tale is being told by a 35+ person remembering when they were seventeen, 2) In the U.S. baseball is often used as an allegory for intimate relation success (1st base is kissing, 2nd is petting above the waist, 3rd petting below waist, home run / home plate is someone has a chance of pregnancy). Most people forget the first line of the song by the end ('I remember everything as if it happened only yesterday') but the baseball thing should be somewhat obvious to anyone watching the video.
I want you I need you
But I don't love you.
Iv heard those words hundreds of times
Jim Steinman said he originally wrote this as a country song. he imagined it as a campfire song, just an acoustic guitar and vocals.
Would it surprise you to find out that I listened to a lot of Meatloaf in middle school? Lol. Bat out of Hell was one I really liked. It's a very long song.
I do resonate with this song. "You're a great guy, but not for me" is something I've heard a lot. 😔
That’s a great one for a teen!
I owned the Bat out of Hell Album in every form 8 Track, Cassette , Vinyl, CD , Then on my Ipod Just about every song on that Album is fantastic and he never sold another one better then that
Hi Diane, happy Friday, and have a good weekend. Actually, there are at least two stories where he got his nickname Meatloaf. One was that his father told the hospital to put the name Meat on his tag when he was born, because he said he looked like nine and a half pounds of ground chuck, which was obviously a mean thing to do. The other story is that he stepped on his high school football coach’s foot and he yelled get off of my foot you big hunk of Meatloaf, which was also mean. However, those are two stories of how his nickname Meatloaf came about. He was really an excellent singer. Yes, this song and came out in 1977, it was on the album Bat out of Hell.
From the Bat Out of Hell album. One of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time, period.
Have you heard "You Oughta Know" by Alannis Morisette? I just learned who it's about and it blew my mind. Dave Coulier. He played Uncle Joey on Full House
I saw him in 1993 in concert at the NEC in Birmingham UK, he was incredible, especially when he rode on stage on a massive motorbike, it blew my mind!
With regards to the story about Meat's father trying to kill him, there's a spoken intro (by Meatloaf) on a song called "Wasted Youth" [1993] that may relate to some of those emotions when he left home. Even though the lyrics are written by Jim Steinman (who wrote and arranged most all of Meat Loaf's songs) perhaps Meat was able to deliver it so well because he was channeling the emotions triggered by his father. This section is picked up about halfway through:
The guitar bled for about a week afterward but it rung out beautifully,
and I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before.
So, I took my guitar and I smashed it against the wall,
I smashed it against the floor,
I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader,
I smashed it against the hood of a car,
I smashed it against a 1981 Harley Davidson.
The Harley howled in pain.
The guitar howled in heat.
And I ran up the stairs to my parents' bedroom.
Mommy and Daddy were sleeping in the moonlight.
Slowly I opened the door, creeping in the shadows,
right up to the foot of their bed.
I raised the guitar high above my head,
and just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the centre of the bed,
my father woke up screaming:
"Stop! Wait a minute! Stop it boy! What do you think you're doing?
That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!"
And I said "God dammit Daddy! You know I love you,
but you've got a hell of a lot to learn about rock and roll!
If you like Meaty's music then look up information about the late Jim Steinman, the composer who wrote the songs for him. It would also explain the popularity of Bonnie Tyler's _Total Eclipse of the Heart,_ Celine Dion's _It's All Coming Back to Me Now,_ and popular songs recorded by many other performers.
Hmm, Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler and Celine Dion ... well, two out of three ain't bad.
The song is actually from Bat out of Hell, so yes, 1977 was early in his career.
The entire bat out of hell album is a masterpiece, I'm sure you'll react to most of the songs. I highly recommend "for crying out loud" one of my personal favourites and is a brilliant ending to the album.
Interesting fact about Meatloaf - he was in Dallas the day JFK was shot. He and some friends saw him taken into Parkland Hospital and even had a good look at the limousine Kennedy had been riding in.
What a lot of people don’t realize is, at first he is saying two out of three ain’t bad, then the tables turn and then she says it in the end. 😢
Paradise by the Dashboard Light is Meatloaf at his vocal and dramatic best, you really need to check it out.
I remember playing this song on the jukebox at the pool we took our kids to. The record had a terrific song on the “B” side called “When Rock N Roll Dreams Come True” . You should check it out too.
You need to follow this up with Paradise by the Dashboard Lights
5:15 so dramatic, he’s good at telling a story through the song.
I always considered Meat Loaf songs as very theatrical Rock Opera. My favorite is Paradise By The Dashboard Light.
meatloafs in another musical movie called feel the motion where he performs a good song called piece of the action. The movie also has singer falco performing rock me amadeus and singer pia zadora singing little bit of heaven. those are good songs too. Pia Zadora is in the movie musical voyage of the rock aliens and she performs some good songs little bit of heaven, you bring out the lover in me, let's dance tonight, real love.
Ha, love your review, Diane. Yes, he did have a great voice, but his recording career came in spurts. However, having roles in almost 50 movies, plus TV, left less time for singing. His lyrics are nuanced enough to require more than one listen, especially the 3 album rock opera Bat Out of Hell. His almost theatrical lines are usually quite poignant and cynical, almost like real life. Thanks again, Irish Girl. Hope you and Chewie are havin' a grand day.
I’m seeing that. It’s actually quite a cool way to do it!
Have you done Paradise by the Dashboard Light? If not, it's a must . . .
Not yet
If you like Meat Loaf, you should check out Bonnie Tyler, a Welsh singer who stylistically is basically Meat Loaf's female counterpart. This is mostly due to the fact that Meat Loaf's songwriter, Jim Steinman had a falling out with him and started writing songs for her, most notably "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "I Need a Hero".
Hey Kiddo, I remember this song back from 1977, it had a great rotation on fm radio. first I heard of this guy was as Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1975. He was good as the blacksmith in The Deadmans Gun tv show. I hope you and Chewie have a good weekend
Love Meatloaf and Diane!
This was based on the Elvis Presley song "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You". According to Jim Steinman, actress Mimi Kennedy asked him why he couildn't write something simple Like "I want you I need you I love you". But he just couldn't writ a simple song and the closest he could come to it was "I want you, I need you but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you, don't be sad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad". Thank God he couldn't just write a simple song. You should also try "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and especially "Bat out of Hell" from the same album.
It was the 70s. Just after the revolution this was of the day and a little cheeky.
Jim Steinman (piano) wrote all of the songs on this album. Unfortunately, we lost both of them within a couple of months of each other.😭😭😇😇
I still have this album on vinyl.
"I know you're lookin' for a ruby in a mountain of rocks,
but there ain't no coupe deVille hiding at the bottom of a crackerjack box".
For my European friends: the "Coupe Deville" in this lyric refers to what was Cadillac's most popular model when this song came out. Sure, The Cadillac El Dorado was "nicer" (and more expensive) as were the Fleetwood sedans, But the Coupe Deville was THE car people thought of when they thought of Cadillacs in 1977 (I only bring this up as ""coupé de ville" can be inferred as a specific car body style from ANY make.)
Cracker jack boxes have a treat inside of them once you consume the main ingredients. It is notorious for being considered a junk prize.
About 1978/79, Meat Loaf was a not too kind label that his Dad layed on him down in Texas, I believe his real name is Daniel? Meatloaf is in my personal Top 20 vocalist, I wore the grooves off all of my 'Bat Out Of Hell' records & cds! Try 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light' which is better. Love him in the movie 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' :)
I like Meatloaf, the singer, AND the food. As the saying goes "you just don't like it because you haven't tried mine". But seriously, if I didn't know Jack Black's parent's were BOTH aerospace engineers (imagine that!! Mom got Apollo 13 home!!!), I'd say Jack's father WAS MEATLOAF!!! Similar looks, both great vocals. Obviously NO OTHER ACTOR could play "Meat" in the story of his life.
Meat Loaf was in another movie. Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Your eyes!!!! Oh, and the woman that left him is the same as the one he is singing about.
Great video. A coworker told me to look the video up some time back. I guess I killed two birds with one stone watching this.
You’re the best, Howard! 🙃😁
😂 o like that!
I was in college he appeared on Saturday night Live in 1978...we all thought it was a joke...the joke was on us, found out he was a real singing act. It's just he was so weird at the time...
Meatloaf's was sort of my jam since I first heard him do Bat Out Of Hell. His music always told some sort of story in a very theatrical way. I saw him live three times with gaps of ten or more years between shows He didn't tour the Canadian Prairies that often. He was also a pretty good actor in more than one film and TV roles.
The last time I saw him live was June 17th 2016 in Edmonton, Alberta he was doing his show which was always pretty theatrical. He had cancelled a couple of shows just before this due to health concerns, and there were questions about whether this show would happen. It did, but he didn't look in the best of shape. He was singing "I'd do anything for love" in his usual dramatic manner when he slowly collapsed on stage while singing. At first it was hard to tell if it was part of the performance or if something had happened, as the band kept playing for a bit before band members and crew rushed to his aid. The show immediately ended, and he was taken to hospital overnight. Suffering from a severe case of dehydration. Made the show even more memorable.
So, I enjoyed you reaction to this tune.
Woah that’s epic! I luv the theatricality
I always thought Paradise By the Dashboard light was his most popular song
Should also check out "Beth" by KISS.Really good ballad.
Honestly, listening to "I would do anything for love" I can only imagine him belting this out when his wife asked him to take out the trash or some other mundane boring chore - "But I won't do that!" It was probably really irritating. (Also, watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show - " What's for dinner? Oh no! Meatloaf again????")
He does look like a Marvin a little bit. I never knew Corvids killed him, that's literally unheard of. If anyone feels like chanting his name let me know. :)
I get the joke 🙌
As far as the singer goes, I love Meatloaf! As for the food, I make a killer meatloaf Diane, quite tasty I promise. Great video, do some more! :)
Happy Friday, Diane! I'm really not too up on Meatloaf, the singer. I have heard of him outside of his music. He has a decent voice. He definitely sings with a lot of emotion as evidenced in this song. Glad to see that you have enjoyed it. Always a pleasure to see your reactions Diane. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend and be well! Take care! 👋😎🙏🎉
He was such a great guy. He was a girls softball coach in my hometown. Incredible voice.
Just wondering if you have ever seen the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show? Meatloaf has a small but great part that you may also enjoy the craziness of the movie. Although the best way to see RHPS is in a theater with audience participation.
Love seeing you find new musical interests, facts and your reactions to things that I have taken for granted for many years.
"Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and Rocky Horror Picture Show must be your next listens whether you react or not.
@Diane Jennings - Try Paradise by the dashboard light by Meat Loaf
One of the greatest lines of lyrics ever put into a song. "you've been cold to me so long, i'm crying icicles instead of tears"
I’ve never heard this song before but he’s a great singer. It’s quite beautiful.
It is right?! 😊
Sure who doesn't love "I would do anything for love" also "two out of three ain't bad" is a good tune too. You should check out "Dead ringer for love" featuring Cher x
😊
Vh1 has a good documentary about Meatloaf's life journey called Vh1's Behind the Music Meatloaf its on RUclips.
To me, Marvin looks short, and dark skin, like black as ink, and angry, and no nose or mouth, and a roman like helmet and a space ray g*n. Maybe it's just me haha
Before recording the Bat Out Of Hell album, Meatloaf sang 5 songs on Ted Nugent's Free For All album. The songs, Writing On The Wall, Street Rats, Together, Hammerdown, and I Love So I Told You A Lie.
Thats interesting 😊
Try listening to the meatloafs whole album bat of hell. It does tell a story through the whole album and all the songs rock.
Oh really?! That sounds cool 😎
@@DianeJennings I think of it as a young meatloaf telling this lifestory and experiences on the song. very cool. 🙂
Thank you for the fun video! I bet Chewie could sing like Meatloaf 😊 Give Chewie a hug for me and my two dogs, Lucky and Brutis and have a wonderful weekend!❤
