So many people don’t know what an absolute genius he was composing all his songs and they don’t realize how many artists hits were written by him. Meatloaf and him in heaven, the dynamic duo together again.
@@johndunne6639 mais rock'n roll dreams come through n'est pas chanté par Jim Steinman mais par Rory Dodd. Rory Dodd était le chanteur studio de Steinman, il s'en servait beaucoup en tant que choriste avec sa voix de falsetto, mais il a également chanté des morceaux à la place de Meatloaf et bien sûr jouer les chœurs. Pour l'album bad for good Steinman n'avait pas la bonne voix pour cette chanson donc c'est Rory Dodd qui enregistre le chant à la place de Steinman. Malheureusement peux de personne le savent car Steinman a sorti son album en son propre nom en oubliant de notifier que la moitié de l'album et chanté principalement par Rory Dodd, en plus des chœurs qu'il jouait également. Rory Dodd intervient également sur les chansons de Bonnie Tyler qui sont produites et pour la plupart composées par Steinman. Rory Dodd et la voix en duo et de chœur sur Total éclipse of the heart, mais également sur beaucoup d'autres projets comme, Rebel without a clue ou il chante le refrain " hold me hold me in your arms " bien que Bonnie Tyler ne le mentionne jamais...
Every Jim Steinman song is like a stand alone arena rock symphony. His songs where just so big, big in sound, layers, production. Love them or hate them his songs have an undeniable signature. I can't think of another way to put it.
Was listening to Total Eclipse of The Heart and didn't realize he wrote it, then found out he also did stuff for Air Supply too. I already knew about Meatloaf of course. All the dots connected lol.
You interpreted the layers. Other artists may have sung his songs and added greater depth, but it took more artists and more depth to achieve the same, ultimately soul-touching, resonance. Love to his family.
Jim was some thing else what a song writer all those great songs that will for ever and the beautiful Album Covers l have a tree growing out in his honor and one for Meat loaf too not to far apart Phil Maguire meath lreland
R.I.P. Angel of Rock. You are now back to this place that you come from to give us the gift of a life after birth, a heaven on Earth, a hell of a night.
You can't run away forever But there's nothing wrong with getting a good headstart You want to shut out the night, you want to shut down the sun You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart Think of how we'd lay down together We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs I treasure your love I never want to lose it You've been through the fires of hell And I know you've got the ashes to prove it I treasure your love I want to show you how to use it You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt And I know you've got the scars to prove it Remember everything that I told you And I'm telling you again that it's true When you're alone and afraid, and you're completely amazed To find there's nothing anybody can do (Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby) There's always something magic (There's always something magic) There's always something new (new) And when you really-really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through The beat is yours forever (The beat is yours forever) The beat is always true (true) And when you really-really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through, for you Once upon a time was a backbeat Once upon a time all the chords came to life And the angels had guitars even before thay had wings If you hold on to a you can get through the night (Getting through the night) I treasure your love (treasure your love) I never want to lose it You've been through the fires of hell And I know you've got the ashes to prove it I treasure your love I want to show you how to use it You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt And I know you've got the scars to prove it Remember everything that I told you And I'm telling you again that it's true You're never alone 'cause you can put on the phones And let the drummer tell your heart what to do (Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby) There's always something magic (There's always something magic) There's always something new (new) And when you really-really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through The beat is yours forever (The beat is yours forever) The beat is always true (true) And when you really-really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through, for you, yeah
I play this song non-stop, weeping all the time. So sad, so devastated, so miserable. Such a huge loss for all of us. Jim, thank you so much for Music.
He may not have been the level of performer that Meatloaf, Air Supply, Celine Dion, Bonnie Tyler, etc. were, but this man was easily one of the great pop rock songwriters of all time. He wasn't even necessarily the most prolific, but he crafted so many masterpieces that happened to be huge hits as well. Bat I and II will forever be remembered.
1982: Jim Steinman wrote this for Meat Loaf to sing at the time, but the two split and Steinman owed CBS an album. So, he and his band went into the studio and recorded the "Bad for Good" LP without Meat. Meat's regular backup Rory Dodd stepped up and handled lead on this one. This cracked the Top 30 in '82. Ten years later, Meat and Jim had mended fences and recorded it again, with a new arrangement. It hit again.
Jim passed away... I cant believe. He was a master... We will not have another Jim Steinman anymore. Its over. RIP Jim. We loved you. You were the "blessed" that gave us those amazing songs 🙌. Go to the Gods of RocknRoll now. You made our Rock N Roll dreams come true... Thank you. We will miss you...😔😢🙌👏
Man, I got Bat II when I was a kid, and it’s still to me, one of the best Albums. Jim was a genius, no doubt. It’s just too bad that not a lot of people know it. I mean, yes, there’s probably millions that do. But it’s not like how many know a stupid Katy Perry song or something like that, and that’s a shame. Music used to mean something
To me Jim Steinman songs are just epic masterpieces that take you to another world. There was no one like him and never will be another. Should have received more news coverage. I loved the fact that he was an eccentric maniac! Never played it safe. R.I.P eternal Lost Boy....
The beat is yours forever The beat is always new And when you really need it the most That’s when rock and roll dreams come through … for you… All we can say is: Thank you for the music and rest in peace.
I was a high school kid when this came out. The album at least made it to Gold here in Canada. Lead singer on this track is actually Canadian Rory Dodd.
Yes he's a musical genius, but he's not well enough known to be called a legend. Sad to say, and with the downturn of music taste, that not likely to change.
Jim wrote so many fabulous songs. This has always been my favourite. Plus the rock opera “Bat Out of Hell” making Meatloaf a great singing star. RIP Jim and Meat. We will miss you both forever.
he wrote so many songs I love and I did not realize until many years later, this one, total eclipse of the heart, i'do anything for love, tonight is what is it means to be young, it's all coming back to me now, wonderful compose really a legend of the music
made so many singers stars with his songwriting and its a real shame he didnt get the respect that deserves.this guy was a hit factory for meatloaf,bonnie tyler and celine dion just to name a few!
And now I know that I'm not completely fkn crazy. Lol. I sang this song for years, but couldn't find any info about it and nobody else I knew remembered it at all. Keep in mind that this was the mid-eighties. No internet. This song didn't get a lot of radio play in southern Ohio. I loved it, but only heard it a handful of times. When Bat out of Hell II came out with this song and I still knew most of the words I played it did my sisters and friends. I told all of them this is the song that I've been singing for years. Only a couple of them even remembered it. Those who did thought I was even more creepy. Lol. I'm so happy to finally have proof that this song was out in the early 80's. Yahoo. Now I just have to send it to all my sisters and friends who are still alive.
You always know a Jim steinman song when you hear it they are masterpieces each fan has there own faves but for me tonight is what it means to be young Reed em and weep, the future ain't what it used to be, safe sex, rockin roll dreams come through and left in the dark again where among his very songs the man may be gone but his classic music will live on forever, r. I. P Jim steinman
Jim Steinman wrote so many of my favourite songs, and 'Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young' by 'Fire Inc' from the soundtrack of the movie 'Streets Of Fire', along with 'Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through' and 'Left In The Dark Again' have to be my favourites. Loved his work with the band 'Pandora's Box' in the 1980s as well. Their album 'Original Sin' is one of my all time favourite albums. Thanks for all the great music Jim, you definitely blessed us when you gave us those songs. The beat is yours forever.
@@Bahama3ay I was lucky enough to see Jim steinmans bat out of hell the musical at the dominion theatre in London and a song I had never heard of till then is now one of my faves and that's what part of my body hurts the most I love it, a d despite the fact I am also a massive Celine Dion fan I believe Pandora's box version of its all coming back to me now is the better version
RIP JIm Make your rock and roll dream come true for you , we will miss you that is for sure, But we have your music and your words, and oh boy what words they are ..The music you brought to us, the stories told thru song and words.. love ya .. sad day
Oh man I waited for this song on the radio and recorded it on cassette tape-my mix. Man this song makes me feel soo good. Thank you for singing it!! You still rock it❤❤❤
RIP Jim Steinman, this was always your song although I was a Meatloaf fan. You've left us too soon and have proved that the songs are sometimes stronger than the singers.
LEGEND!!!!!!...Thank you Jim for the music...someone did bless us with song and it was you ...R.I.P...by the way Bad For Good is one of the best albums ever made
Mr. Steinman deserves more recognition. He is one of the best rock song writers ever. I have to say though, he's a passable vocalist. It was, and is the union of HIS lyrics, and Marvin Aday's vocals that made these songs legends. Like elements that make a stronger alloy, when they work together, magic happens. If Mr. Steinman reads this, I hope he won't be angry. His music was one of the defining aspects of my youth, and he has nothing but my respect as an artist.
Thank you Jim Steinman for providing us fans with so much beautiful music for so many years, you'll always have a special place in my heart. Rest in peace.
A few years ago I compiled a list of my favourite songs of all time. 4 of the top ten were Jim Steinman compositions. I think that says it all. I hadn't seen this clip before and this also really impressed me because the couple can actually dance and dance well. Real nice change from twerking etc!
Not a song writer… a composer of the highest quality. RIP Jim
So many people don’t know what an absolute genius he was composing all his songs and they don’t realize how many artists hits were written by him. Meatloaf and him in heaven, the dynamic duo together again.
Any day now we might have a total eclipse, That's if heaven can wait
Yes and always wrote the music and lyrics and orchestral arrangements himself, and often produced as well. Incredible genius.

70s and 80s...so glad his work was turned into a musical before he died......
What a tune. No one writes a ballad like Mr Steinman did. Rest well Jimmy.
Despite what the critics said about him, he was a true genius and his music will live on forever. RIP, Jim.

You can't run away forever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good headstart
You want to shut out the night, you want to shut down the sun
You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart
Think of how we'd lay down together
We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong
Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs
I treasure your love
I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it
Remember everything that I told you
And I'm telling you again that it's true
When you're alone and afraid, and you're completely amazed
To find there's nothing anybody can do
(Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby)
There's always something magic
(There's always something magic)
There's always something new (new)
And when you really-really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through
The beat is yours forever
(The beat is yours forever)
The beat is always true (true)
And when you really-really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through, for you
Once upon a time was a backbeat
Once upon a time all the chords came to life
And the angels had guitars even before thay had wings
If you hold on to a you can get through the night
(Getting through the night)
I treasure your love (treasure your love)
I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it
Remember everything that I told you
And I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone 'cause you can put on the phones
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do
(Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby)
There's always something magic
(There's always something magic)
There's always something new (new)
And when you really-really need it the most
