“We don’t mourn musicians because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.” Thank you, Meatloaf (and Mr. Steinman) for helping me to know myself - and for helping me to know my father. Your music will live on in all of us.

I got to meet Meatloaf at a convention earlier this year and he had signed autographs for hours and it was towards the end of the day and when I got to him, he still took the time to talk to me and my 14 year old daughter. He was such a gentleman and he genuinely loved talking to his fans. I felt like he was a family friend and I thanked him for producing some AMAZING music. He was a delight!
One of the most underrated Meatloaf songs in my opinion! It deserved more airplay than it did back in the day! RIP Meatloaf. Keep rocking on your way to the pearly gates.
This song did pick me up at some of the lowest points in my life, but I never watched the video until this week. I kind of want to see it cut into the end of the road to make the entire movie just a background seen setting for the music video.
Eulnglidis curbani eu ofereço essa música aos covers aos dubladores oficiais da banda a qual tem o suga internacional dos meus olhos puxadinhos lindos e maravilhosos essa música amor eu ofereço para você os meus olhos são os teus olhos nunca se esqueça disso pois Deus também nos olha sabe através de quem dos olhos da menininha de Deus Pois os nossos olhos não mentem é por isso que eu falo que quando eu vi o homem a quem Deus destinou os meus olhos jamais se enganaria e nem viu daria a Deus porque foi Deus que viu o primeiro e depois me mostrou O que significa que Deus quando dá o dom ele não tira
@@larrybaker5316 I’m 46. Learned about Meatloaf when this song came out at 15yrs old. This song became a soundtrack to my life the rest of my teenage years. I’m still blown away by this song now as I was then. Keep rocking Sir!
I spent my whole childhood growing up with the “bat out of hell 2” album on repeat, playing it to death in my Dads car on the old cassette player as I was only just discovering what real music even was, songs in which I grew to adore & still do 20+ years later, even spending hours & hours writing down the lyrics on a piece of paper as I didn’t have the internet back then - my first genuine hero… & someone i’ll love forever. RIP Meat - you made my whole upbringing undoubtedly a lot happier for me, & for that i’ll forever be eternally grateful.
I honestly thought this was an old comment I made; because that was exactly what I did as a kid (during primary school listening to the tape when dad drove me to school, then as a teen listening to it on CD.) My dad passed away last year, and part of me is glad he wasn’t here to lose ML.
“Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods. Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs.” Yes, and his name is Jim Steinman. RIP Jim.
I'm 50 and still listening to Meatloaf. If I'm here in 50 years I will Still be listening to Meatloaf and so will the neighbors!😊 RIP Meatloaf you Beautiful Man!
I share this with complete modesty. I cannot explain how both a series of very good and very bad circumstances put me into a position of producing and promoting shows with Meat and some of the other greatest names in Rock...some where my idols as a kid growing-up in the early 70s. However Meat may stand-out as the most compassionate and caring through small gestures. While promoting the Bat II Tour I had to pass on a private dinner invitation by Meat for making the shows I was working the best selling on his tour. When he learned it was due to a neck injury almost identical to what he endured lifelong pain from a similar due to a fall off a stage in Australia, he reached-out, send me gifts and even had his own physician guide me through some homeopathic treatment for the pain (It bought me 10+ years before a second neck fusion surgery.) He had no need or incentive to do that, to follow-up and provide care to a guy who was "just doing his job". For all I know there were 1,000 like me that he did this for. Most of all the biggest names in Rock were genuinely humble and caring people... some putting "gift lists" together after tours or shows... when Meat sent me personalized autograph gold-plated CDs, photos and follow-ups on checking on my health, it showed the true man of compassion caring for someone else living in chronic pain. My attempt is to try to pay it forward.. if you are a chronic pain sufferer and need help... reach-out. If not me, you'll find others who genuinely care and that light at the end of the tunnel is NOT a train.
@@PHILDRU911 Thank you. I think the bottom line or moral to the story is that what comes around goes around. On another chat we shared a mutual belief in the sense of creating some of our own heaven or hell while living. Examples of people who had ripped us off (individually) and how bad karma came into their lives (not to our pleasure) but possibly of their own making. TY again for bringing this up... it just reminded me of something I've been intending to do to "pay it forward" for someone else. Again, seeking no accolades but hoping to inspire others. Rock on!
@@micaela7758 What does that even mean? Yes, I am FOR real. While I didn't seek it, Google put that checkmark next to my name after executing contracts with them to verify for others on the RUclips or other development teams to know I'm "real".
Yes, I have loved chronic pain since 2004 Arthritis in my neck, my back, my hips and left knee The arthritis in my back is to close to the spinal cord, my discs are collapsing because of it , for isn't an option plus I don't believe I would have it done, seen to many people who did and they are worse off than before
Jim Steinman recorded this song on his only solo album in 1981. So sad, the world lost two brilliant musicians in less than a year. I don’t think anyone can beat the Steinman/Meatloaf duo for their dramatic videos and play on words in their songs. Not to mention Meatloaf’s incredible, powerful voice. Thank you both for making our rock & roll dreams come true. R.I.P.
A very young Angelina Jolle, watching this and thinking how we will never hear anymore new songs of Meatloaf. A good thing all his songs are well worth listening to over and over

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
Alive, sane, functioning, and happy for 3-5 minutes at a time Once upon a time was a backbeat Once upon a time all the chords came to Life And the angels had guitars even before they had wings If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night……..You're never alone cause you can put on the phones And let the drummer tell your heart what to do……..
There will be no one who will be able to write lyrics like Jim Steinman could for a long time. He could sing, too. But...No one can sing a Jim Steinman song like Meat Loaf can. A match made in heaven as far as music is concerned. Jim Steinman always had a Charisma and a charm that made interviews and everything really interesting. But Meat Loaf had a charisma that made interviews interesting as well. Somehow both had a totally different personalities and charisma, imo. But it worked...and boy did it work!!
"You're never alone / 'cause you can put on the phones / and let the drummer tell your heart what to do." Every time I hear this song, it gives me goosebumps. Jim Steinman's musical wizardry and Meat Loaf's magical voice were a once-in-a-lifetime combination, and I will always be grateful to have been alive for it.
This was the song, when my father died in October 1993, I still miss my dad, and every time i hear this song, tears get in my eyes. Still miss my dad, even after 26 years.
same, except mine was 1:20 am 12/24/1994. I had visited him at the hospital the day before and he was suppose to come home the 26th. they were doing some preliminary preparations for him to have a heart transplant that he'd receive in Feb. the next year. (month and a half away, he'd been on a waiting list over five years)
May God bless you BOTH with peace of mind and contentment. ❤ I'm sort of new to the club. I lost my Dad November 10, 2012, and he was also a Meatloaf fan.😊 It STILL feels strange not to see him around. This may sound crazy, but for me, it feels...temporary. I mean, I know he's gone, but I don't think the "forever" part has sunk in for me yet. Sometimes, I wonder if it ever will... Is that weird?
I lost my father November of 94. I actually got the Bat out of Hell 2 cd from him for Christmas in 93. I spent a lot of time listening to it trying to find the way out of the dark after i lost him.
Both "Meat" and Jim gone to soon. More talent than 100 years could hold. I was glad to have seen Meatloaf in concert a few years back. He joked about having another cardiac on stage. I totally get it, he put ALL of his heart into his music.
Looks like a big budget video. Not all artists are given that much money to make videos...or the video producers don't have a clue how to make a good video. They should watch this to see how it's done properly.
Meat Loaf and Steinman. Like Lennon and McCartney before them, a paring of two absolute giants of music, together rising to the very best of pop music. Meat and Jim might have left this (miserable) world now, but we still have their catalogue of monumentally timeless classics. I won't ever stop listening to them (unless of course death is the end).
It is now *2021* I just turned 67 yrs old; this man's songs and his *voice* (omg! his voice!) are still my Rock and Roll Dreams coming through. Blessed be, Michael. 🎇
Sick to death of all these "Anyone listening in...." comments. Meat Loaf's music was amazing then and it's amazing now. There will always be people listening this year and all foreseeable years to come
Angelina Jolie...sooo young and sweet!!! "I treasure your love" that´s what´s life it´s all about!! Keep on rocking loud and strong dear friend...we´ll meet again someday!!
You made my rock and roll dreams come true since I was 9 years old. That was when I first heard "I Would Do Anything For Love". Everyone else was listening to BSB and I was blasting "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights". He had some hard times and so many health issues but despite it all he really left his mark. I'm so happy I saw him in concert in 2016. His voice wasn't as strong any more but he was still iconic and he put on one helluva show. Rest easy Meat. ❤🦇
Hi Megan I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
I played this for my late wife, shortly before she died, because she knew I was a troubled youth, who evolved. To watch her health fail was troubling to say the least, but this song helped us connect again before it was too late! :D
There will never be another person whose voice carries more power, nor emits such pure heart and soul behind every lyric as Meat Loaf. He sang as though every song was his last, giving it his all in the name of rock opera. God bless you, Meat Loaf, you will forevermore leave us all awe inspired by your immense energy which gave way to a wonderous exhibition of raw and beautiful emotion that richly flowed through your music.
This song helped me quit drinking back in 1994 and helped save my life and turned my life around.went from having nothing from years of drinking and partying to finally having money in the bank and having nice possessions and making my parents proud.will always credit this song for that.rip meat
My children know all of the Bat Out Of Hell songs they were the ones who told me of his passing, we all listened to Meatloaf today even though we're miles apart.... Rest in peace sir... Rock on!!!!
Never stop listening. 1st album I was 16. Rock and roll dreams always come true. Would have loved to have seen him live. Still got his music though. Rip meat
Quality is timeless. Pachelbel's Canon, John Lennon, George Harrison, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, Billie Holiday, Freddie Mercury, Bowie, Bach, Mozart, Beetoven, and countless others are still with us, and brightening up this miserable world a little. True classics never die, they continue to find new audiences. Meat Load and Jim Steinman will always be with us through their works.
I’m 40 and this man brought me to this how I call it theatrical rock and roll! Off all the missed opportunities I’m sad I haven’t had a chance to see him live!
My mother raised me on Meatloaf songs, strangely I didn't hear this one until she sent it to me when I called her to say goodbye before attempting suicide again and her begging me not to... thank you meatloaf and thank you mum!
A really underrated song by Meatloaf and Steinman...I really think it was ahead of it's time! I just miss the contributions by Meatloaf and Steiman to rock that could certainly use their roll!
I just discovery yesterday that he passed away last weeK. Where the hell I was that I did not know about it. I grew up with his music. The great 80's RIP. You where an icon in music
I think it is more of a psychopomp/spirit-guide thing. He's this magical elf-thing living in a magical realm of rock and roll, stepping across time and space, sometimes by using a magical motorcycle, to find the lost and broken and desperate. He rips open holes between worlds by exploding the musical connections (the jukeboxes) between them, and he guides the people who need help with the power of music, saving them from their own despair and confusion.
Rest in peace Meatloaf, you've made our rock and roll dreams come true.
He sure did!
And his songs will keep doing it for generations to come.
The music will live forever
R.I.P to legend!!!💔💔😢😢😢😢😢
My fave song
If there’s anyone that’s nearly 50 years old and still loves Meatloaf, well hell , give me a thumbs up man!!!

Nicely stated. Very compassionate and poetic.
Man, I felt that in my soul
......or their songs helped us through difficult times.......RIP
Cierto! Palbras profundas.
Exactly 🖤🖤🖤🖤

RIP the legend. My heart is sad today.
Absolutely!
May you rest in peace. Thank you for your music 😔😔
His beat is ours forever
I am 67 now. His cassette saved my life. His energy is amazing!
I remember the 1rst time I heard them on 8 track :) ( 2 outta 3 ain't bad). ROCK N ROLL! :)
Jim Steinman was an amazing poet - "...and the angels had guitars even before they had wings..." how beautiful is that!
I'd say that Steinman was very possibly the best song-writer of all time. He's definitely amongst the best, anyway.
deep...
Thats my last tattoo ❤

Meat Loaf will be missed by millions and millions for year's to come.
To think Meat Loaf never was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, disgusting.
Agree, Meatloaf belongs in the RocknRoll Hall of Fame.
True. It is well deserved for them to be there. 🎤 🎙 🎸 🥁 🪘
Should have been there along time ago!
It's a shambles anyway have you seen half of the people in it? Not rock and roll at all

Never say goodbye
So So True

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
Thanks for the lirics mate.
So fucking true, this song. How many of us are still alive because of Music?
Well said brother an absolute legend Jim and meatloaf unstoppable great music and great friends RIP JIM
👋
Alive, sane, functioning, and happy for 3-5 minutes at a time
Once upon a time was a backbeat
Once upon a time all the chords came to Life
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night……..You're never alone cause you can put on the phones
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do……..
There will be no one who will be able to write lyrics like Jim Steinman could for a long time. He could sing, too. But...No one can sing a Jim Steinman song like Meat Loaf can. A match made in heaven as far as music is concerned. Jim Steinman always had a Charisma and a charm that made interviews and everything really interesting. But Meat Loaf had a charisma that made interviews interesting as well. Somehow both had a totally different personalities and charisma, imo. But it worked...and boy did it work!!
Nearly 62 and heart broken that Meatloaf is gone. RIP
I just can't get over that line "someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs"...'
Man, this is music 😎🥺❤💥💫
RIP Meatloaf
Jim Steinman had a way with words. ❤️
Video is like Therapy for some of us.
❤
"You're never alone / 'cause you can put on the phones / and let the drummer tell your heart what to do."
Every time I hear this song, it gives me goosebumps. Jim Steinman's musical wizardry and Meat Loaf's magical voice were a once-in-a-lifetime combination, and I will always be grateful to have been alive for it.
Song gives hope. Well to me anyways 😂
That's one of my fave lines from the song!!
This was the song, when my father died in October 1993, I still miss my dad, and every time i hear this song, tears get in my eyes. Still miss my dad, even after 26 years.
same, except mine was 1:20 am 12/24/1994. I had visited him at the hospital the day before and he was suppose to come home the 26th. they were doing some preliminary preparations for him to have a heart transplant that he'd receive in Feb. the next year. (month and a half away, he'd been on a waiting list over five years)
May God bless you BOTH with peace of mind and contentment. ❤
I'm sort of new to the club. I lost my Dad November 10, 2012, and he was also a Meatloaf fan.😊
It STILL feels strange not to see him around.
This may sound crazy, but for me, it feels...temporary.
I mean, I know he's gone, but I don't think the "forever" part has sunk in for me yet.
Sometimes, I wonder if it ever will...
Is that weird?
I lost my father November of 94. I actually got the Bat out of Hell 2 cd from him for Christmas in 93. I spent a lot of time listening to it trying to find the way out of the dark after i lost him.
@@cmmosher8035 ❤❤❤❤😥😥😥😥
I'm sorry for every one who lost some one in these comments. 😢 be blessed and comforted by our Lord Jesus Christ everyone.
Both "Meat" and Jim gone to soon. More talent than 100 years could hold. I was glad to have seen Meatloaf in concert a few years back. He joked about having another cardiac on stage. I totally get it, he put ALL of his heart into his music.
I am 54 have listened to his music from childhood I will never stop what a legend and brilliant artist rip 🙏
His music videos were like true productions with a theme! Kids, this is what a true storyteller looks like.
Rock opera
Michael Bay loves him some exploding motorcycles! :) And Jim writes very operatic songs.
He's just the singer lol
And JIM STEINMAN'S amazing music and arrangement
Looks like a big budget video. Not all artists are given that much money to make videos...or the video producers don't have a clue how to make a good video. They should watch this to see how it's done properly.
RIP Meatloaf. "The beat is yours forever". No matter how much talent someone has they cannot outrun time.
Meat Loaf and Steinman. Like Lennon and McCartney before them, a paring of two absolute giants of music, together rising to the very best of pop music.
Meat and Jim might have left this (miserable) world now, but we still have their catalogue of monumentally timeless classics. I won't ever stop listening to them (unless of course death is the end).
Well said, don't forget Bonnie and Ellen.
Loved him since the 70's....saw him live in the 80's, still love him now....RIP Legend
My favourite Meatloaf song such a powerful tune...
Rest in Peace Meatloaf a true Rock icon who will be much missed
I'd forgotten Angelina Jolie was in this video. Been many years since I watched it.
It is now *2021* I just turned 67 yrs old; this man's songs and his *voice* (omg! his voice!) are still my Rock and Roll Dreams coming through. Blessed be, Michael. 🎇
Not far behind you and still belting out his stuff on vinyl, yep that shows my age.
Things will never be the same with Meatloaf gone. We miss you mate. RIP
Over 70 and stil love M L
This song gives me chills. RIP Jim and Meat. Keep on writing in heaven.
With Judith Durham, Olivia Newton John, and Meat Loaf joining the Heavenly Choir this year, the angels will be truly rocking Heaven!!
ohh he will 🤟
@@SparkiGal Add Jim and Janis and Jimi, the OGs who are welcoming him!
Sick to death of all these "Anyone listening in...." comments. Meat Loaf's music was amazing then and it's amazing now. There will always be people listening this year and all foreseeable years to come
I absolutely love Meatloaf! A definite crush!
So true 🙏
Isn't this technically an "anyone listening comment?"
@@Alcor98 LOL
Ok Karen.
I absolutely love this song. RIP Meatloaf.❤
Hi Nancy how are you doing, it’s nice coming across your amazing comment. Where are you from?
Angelina Jolie...sooo young and sweet!!! "I treasure your love" that´s what´s life it´s all about!! Keep on rocking loud and strong dear friend...we´ll meet again someday!!
You made my rock and roll dreams come true since I was 9 years old.
That was when I first heard "I Would Do Anything For Love". Everyone else was listening to BSB and I was blasting "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights". He had some hard times and so many health issues but despite it all he really left his mark. I'm so happy I saw him in concert in 2016. His voice wasn't as strong any more but he was still iconic and he put on one helluva show. Rest easy Meat. ❤🦇
Hi Megan I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
Imagine if Freddie Mercury/Queen had collaborated with Meat Loaf/Jim Steinman how glorious it would have been. ☺
*Now that's food for thought. That can make the imagination kick into overdrive, if what might of been.*
Not sure the world would have been ready for something that powerful. Reality can only support *so* much Awesome at a time.
As long as we're talking epic duets, I'd like to see Meat collaborate with this man: ruclips.net/video/aO35c9_6uM0/видео.html
Joshua Martindale Meatloaf collaborated with Brian May for the theme song for a Special Olympics in the 80s.
that wouldnt be the worst thing in the world at all
At 73 still loving Meatloafs music 🎵
I played this for my late wife, shortly before she died, because she knew I was a troubled youth, who evolved. To watch her health fail was troubling to say the least, but this song helped us connect again before it was too late! :D
There will never be another person whose voice carries more power, nor emits such pure heart and soul behind every lyric as Meat Loaf. He sang as though every song was his last, giving it his all in the name of rock opera. God bless you, Meat Loaf, you will forevermore leave us all awe inspired by your immense energy which gave way to a wonderous exhibition of raw and beautiful emotion that richly flowed through your music.
Rest in Peace Jim Steinman, thank you for giving us the music to get us through the night.
One of my favourite musicians, im very sad that he is gone, but don't worry i will always treasure your music.
This song helped me quit drinking back in 1994 and helped save my life and turned my life around.went from having nothing from years of drinking and partying to finally having money in the bank and having nice possessions and making my parents proud.will always credit this song for that.rip meat
Awesomeness. All the best to U 🎉🎉
My children know all of the Bat Out Of Hell songs they were the ones who told me of his passing, we all listened to Meatloaf today even though we're miles apart.... Rest in peace sir... Rock on!!!!
"Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs." Indeed. RIP Meat Loaf, you will be missed.
Never stop listening. 1st album I was 16. Rock and roll dreams always come true. Would have loved to have seen him live. Still got his music though. Rip meat
Rest in piece, Meat Loaf. You will never be forgotten. 🥺
Meat Loaf has just passed away.
His music never will.
Originality lasts.
Quality is timeless. Pachelbel's Canon, John Lennon, George Harrison, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, Billie Holiday, Freddie Mercury, Bowie, Bach, Mozart, Beetoven, and countless others are still with us, and brightening up this miserable world a little. True classics never die, they continue to find new audiences. Meat Load and Jim Steinman will always be with us through their works.
I’m 40 and this man brought me to this how I call it theatrical rock and roll! Off all the missed opportunities I’m sad I haven’t had a chance to see him live!
RIP Meatloaf! You have blessed us when you gave us your songs.
Meat Loaf will giving a a rock concert in heaven today , R.I.P
Listening to Meat Loaf's songs just because he Has left this World, but He's not forgotten and will never be. RIP
THANK YOU MY DEAR FRIEND MEAT LOVE FOR BEEING ONE OF MY GREATEST INSPIRATIONS. I LOVE YOU 🙏✌️💜
The angel had guitars before they had wings what a song film and balance this is no one like meatloaf or ever will
B
RIP Meat Loaf. When you really really needed it the most that’s when Rock ‘n Roll Dreams come true!
"There is always something magic" when we listen to your songs...RIP ❤
❤️❤️
Great song and video. And 17-18 year old Angelina. She really was stunning.
My mother raised me on Meatloaf songs, strangely I didn't hear this one until she sent it to me when I called her to say goodbye before attempting suicide again and her begging me not to... thank you meatloaf and thank you mum!
You could have Meatloaf sing off a road map and each town would sound like its own wonderful adventure.
Rest easy Michael. We’ve lost a few great people already. What a shit start to 2022
A really underrated song by Meatloaf and Steinman...I really think it was ahead of it's time! I just miss the contributions by Meatloaf and Steiman to rock that could certainly use their roll!
I just discovery yesterday that he passed away last weeK. Where the hell I was that I did not know about it. I grew up with his music. The great 80's RIP. You where an icon in music
Meatloaf as an avenging angel, vanquishing evil with exploding radios and jukeboxes. Gotta love that.
I think it is more of a psychopomp/spirit-guide thing. He's this magical elf-thing living in a magical realm of rock and roll, stepping across time and space, sometimes by using a magical motorcycle, to find the lost and broken and desperate. He rips open holes between worlds by exploding the musical connections (the jukeboxes) between them, and he guides the people who need help with the power of music, saving them from their own despair and confusion.
Right. I love how he rips the kid from the backseat of the car
I really like this explanation of the meaning of this video
No, he's a messenger. What is helping the people is MUSIC.
The song is essentially a hymn to the power of music.
@@Johnny96ri thank you for your explanation
One of the first music videos I really remember watching as a kid. It really hits different rewatching as an adult. RIP Meatloaf.
My wife and I are in our 70s and still love him.😊
RIP Meatloaf.. The musical storyboard master of our lives. Nice looking Angie there .
Rest in peace legend 😭
🌟27.09.1947-✝️20.01.2022
Thank You Meat Loaf
Anyone in their 20's and listening to Meat Loaf 'cause this masterpiece is beyond any crap of this century
Well said young man
Jup I'm here
Eu já bloqueio o grap
Without the 'crap of this century' you wouldn't be able to show that appreciatoon. I like all of it uniquely
mid-20's hehe
Meatloaf was the sexiest man who ever lived 😍 I love every song that man ever sang! R.I.P. my darling Meatloaf, we love you still ❤️
For All Of Us Who Can Not Dream Right Now.
We Sleep, Time For Them To WakeUp.
Can we say he is the Ultimate God of Rock and Roll. I have been loving and listening to his music since I was 14 years old.
Well I’d put some people over him but he definitely near the top
Robert Plant. Meat Loaf not far below.
Not one song by meat loaf is bad, but this one of my favourites. Just love the talent of this guy, he is a legend.
