“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.
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 olha eu amo música sou eclética sou atleta eu eu amo a natureza eu amo ficar entre os animais eu amo ficar entre crianças e adoro brincar com criança e com animais então eu sou uma pessoa energética eu gosto de olhar para cima do céu olhar e agradecer eu olho para a natureza de suas formas a qual o nosso Deus faz e agradeço por eu ter uma visão ampla de ver quem é como é e as formas a qual Deus permite é o olhar então tem pessoas que não tem visão mas enxerga perfeitamente sabe como através da Alma através da essência e através da vida tem pessoas que não ouvem mas Deus faz aquelas louças que sabem através de quê meu amor da Alma da essência da vida é através do tocar significa Deus ages de diferenças formas sobre as nossas vidas
They do not have wings. That is just an artistic idea. They have electric energy which can glow or change shape as Jesus did when he arose after his death. Spirit power.
He without a doubt is the best rock star at least in my 77 years. No one can perform as well as Meat Loaf. What a blessing in my lifetime. Absolute best.
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!
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.
@@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!
“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.
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
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!
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.

Singers like meatloaf created soundtracks to our lives, these old songs snap me right back to certain moments of my life. RIP to a legend and a unique individual
"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.
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!!
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. 🎇
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.
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
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.
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….🌹🌹
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.
"Every golden nugget coming like a gift from the Gods, someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs" Thank you Meat (and Jim) for blessing us with hundreds of golden nuggets, we are truly blessed. Thanks Meat for the live concerts, great songs, amazing memories, and a beautiful voice. RIP Sir your legend and music will live forever
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.
It took brass balls and mad passion for a big man like Meat to get up on stage and belt ‘em out like he did! He had great hits & even greater hidden gems! Underrated always and so many times dismissed…but a true legend to his many fans! RIP.
I have loved his music from the age of 12, when I first heard him perform on SNL in 1978. When I was sad or needed motivation, I would play his songs on full volume. They never failed to pick me up. I won't grieve for him because so long as I have his albums, his spirit will live on. Thank you for the songs and the memories.
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
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!
I love that the song's lyrics may initially make you think this is another cheesy love rock n roll love song, but then the music video puts the love into the context of the paternal love of a father and how music connects people and brings them joy no matter race, sex, or economic status.
Meat Loaf is the undisputed GOD of ballad rock! Huge love for a huge man! That was not intended to be an insult, but a complement of how much I have always thought of the man. I don't think anyone will be able to replace him.
Meat Loaf gave us the gift of MAGIC with his voice and his entire persona! Mr Steinman and Meatloaf are heaven sent pathfinders! I listened this song so much when I just lost my 16 year old son to suicide in 2008. It gave me such HOPE… that there’s still some LIFE left in me! Meat Loaf is a gift to our planet! God bless him! 🌻🌺
I'm sorry for your loss. The loss of a child in that way doesn't really get easier as the years pass as he was not really old enough to have made and understood that choice. I am glad that you found some comfort and solace in the music, lyrics, and performance of Meatloaf. He was always about spreading a unique message of love over adversity and time. All of his love songs were about the singular power of love that binds us together forever. Joy to your spirit and to your son's spirit. It is never too late for a soul to strengthen and grow from his mother's love.
I"m 62. I have only cried twice when I heard about an artist having died. Elvis and Meat Loaf. Meat Loaf's and Steinman's music got me though some very hard times and I still fall back on it.
I was 16 when this album came out. Fell in love with it. The entire album is incredible. Listen to this song with a stereo that has serious subwoofer bump. You'll feel this song in your bones and heart!!
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.

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! :)
I'm just about old enough to remember winding that up with a pencil, you're generation gave us this. Thankyou
🙏🙏🙏🙏
At 73 still loving Meatloafs music 🎵
I'm 57 and he is the greatest ever😢
I'm 77 and this is the first time I'm hearing Meatloaf version. So much feeling in the song. He really was great.!
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
“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.
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 🖤🖤🖤🖤
"Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs"
RIP, God bless you!
Adiós para siempre al más grande DEP
How deep is my love to his wonderfull songs . I m so sad
It is our God who directed Tim Steinman to put the words and music together for meatloaf to sing for us.
His songs truly are epic! So much passion, energy, and moving power! ❤🙏✌️
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.
Yes great song
It was on vh1 a whole lot.

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.
Jim Steinman version way better
Agreed. I loved it more than the first single.
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 ❤

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.

I'm sorry for every one who lost some one in these comments. 😢 be blessed and comforted by our Lord Jesus Christ everyone.
Hey I'm 62 years old and still listening to Meatloaf 😊
75 and still listening
Yeah, man🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
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.
❤
"There is always something magic" when we listen to your songs...RIP ❤
❤️❤️
Listening to Meat Loaf's songs just because he Has left this World, but He's not forgotten and will never be. RIP
You blessed us when you gave us your songs. RIP legend
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!
Rest in peace Meat Loaf Your songs, Your Energy, will always be a part of me Thankyou
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….🌹🌹
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.
RIP Meat Loaf. When you really really needed it the most that’s when Rock ‘n Roll Dreams come true!
I'm 68 years old and still rocking to Meatloaf
55 yrs. old here and have always loved Meatloaf, since the 70's...2 outta 3. :)
me too at 75!...Meat and Jim were a fantastic team. this is 1 of their best.
@@larrybaker5316DITTO.
You go 68years young not old
I'm 74 and the thought of never listening to him neve entered my mind, I can sing them all
Que voz privilegiada. Un enorme artista. Descansa en paz Meat Loaf.
💔
Pocos como él... 💟
I am 65 and love meatloaf!
Meat Loaf vocals at it's best. Jim Steinman lyrics at it's best. Pure perfection. Keep on believing and rest in peace Jim
And now they're together, doing their magic again!
Every song of his, was my favorite. His voice was unique and powerful. R.I.P. Meat, you will definately be missed.
"Every golden nugget coming like a gift from the Gods, someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs" Thank you Meat (and Jim) for blessing us with hundreds of golden nuggets, we are truly blessed. Thanks Meat for the live concerts, great songs, amazing memories, and a beautiful voice. RIP Sir your legend and music will live forever
Nobody else could sing Jim's song like meatloaf
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.
RIP Meat Loaf. Your hits will live forever. Thanks for all! ❤
One of the first music videos I really remember watching as a kid. It really hits different rewatching as an adult. RIP Meatloaf.
Rest in peace Meatloaf, you are loved and missed Terribly by all... BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
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
Wer wie ich beim hören dieses Liedes eine Gänsehaut bekommt, gibt mir einen Daumen hoch 👍🏼
To moj hymn 1994 kocham
Dann noch das Video dazu mega
Sogar beide Daumen hoch für dich !!
This still is the most beautiful music video I have ever seen. Meatloaf plays an Angel saving several lives.
I'm with you brother, I'm in my 50's and this song comes a long way...what a great performer he was
It took brass balls and mad passion for a big man like Meat to get up on stage and belt ‘em out like he did! He had great hits & even greater hidden gems! Underrated always and so many times dismissed…but a true legend to his many fans! RIP.
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.
I have loved his music from the age of 12, when I first heard him perform on SNL in 1978. When I was sad or needed motivation, I would play his songs on full volume. They never failed to pick me up. I won't grieve for him because so long as I have his albums, his spirit will live on. Thank you for the songs and the memories.
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
I’m 52 years old and feel nothing but hurt in my heart !! This song sends me back to 1986 with my high school sweetheart .
Don't be sad it's over, be happy that it happened ❤️
Me too. So many hours listening to this in make-out spots :)
Didn't this song come out in 1993? ;)
@@xlpraetorianlx Yes, I discovered this song and the whole album back in 1993, while living in the US for a while
@@xlpraetorianlx the original song came out in the early 80s, by Jim Steinman / Rory Dodd. This one is a cover. Perhaps that's it.
RIP Meat Loaf. Great Singer. Rock and roll dreams come through, my absolutely favourite song.
Jim's genius will live on through the amazing songs he wrote . RIP Jim, you were a gift from the Gods and we loved everything you wrote. Rock on 🤘
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!
I love that the song's lyrics may initially make you think this is another cheesy love rock n roll love song, but then the music video puts the love into the context of the paternal love of a father and how music connects people and brings them joy no matter race, sex, or economic status.
This is one of my all-time favorite Meatloaf / Jim Steinman songs!
Thank You!!
Ok n8te
To each their own, I perfer the Steinman version of this one. But this is a great song and Meatloaf is a great singer so I love listening to it to.
When I was 13 in 1993 I heard I’d do anything for love the video on mtv after that I was hooked and now I own almost every cd he has had came out
Meat Loaf is the undisputed GOD of ballad rock! Huge love for a huge man! That was not intended to be an insult, but a complement of how much I have always thought of the man. I don't think anyone will be able to replace him.
Live how his songs and videos always told a story like this video
Rest in peace legend 😭
🌟27.09.1947-✝️20.01.2022
Thank You Meat Loaf
Meat Loaf gave us the gift of MAGIC with his voice and his entire persona! Mr Steinman and Meatloaf are heaven sent pathfinders! I listened this song so much when I just lost my 16 year old son to suicide in 2008. It gave me such HOPE… that there’s still some LIFE left in me! Meat Loaf is a gift to our planet! God bless him! 🌻🌺
So true, this song is about hope, I am sure this song has saved so many lives. The song bring tears to my eyes many times!
I'm sorry for your loss. The loss of a child in that way doesn't really get easier as the years pass as he was not really old enough to have made and understood that choice. I am glad that you found some comfort and solace in the music, lyrics, and performance of Meatloaf. He was always about spreading a unique message of love over adversity and time. All of his love songs were about the singular power of love that binds us together forever. Joy to your spirit and to your son's spirit. It is never too late for a soul to strengthen and grow from his mother's love.
Steinman and meatloaf such a great combo those guys made 2 of the best rock albums of all time
I"m 62. I have only cried twice when I heard about an artist having died. Elvis and Meat Loaf. Meat Loaf's and Steinman's music got me though some very hard times and I still fall back on it.
I was 16 when this album came out. Fell in love with it. The entire album is incredible. Listen to this song with a stereo that has serious subwoofer bump. You'll feel this song in your bones and heart!!
R.I.P Jim, without you things wouldn't have happened
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.
I am 67, and I STILL LOVE MEATLOAF AND HIS MUSIC ❤❤❤
