Amazing voice and performer. He showed talent and charisma can come in any package.
Yes! Good description!
@@Great-Documentaries ok that makes sense because at the beginning of the song I thought he was speaking for himself, at the end my mind was changed. I must have missed that bridge
Amen
@@RobSquadReactions At the beginning of the Song he tells the woman I want you, I need you , But there ain’t no way I’m ever going to love you.
You got to listen for it but there’s a hitch. He sings. “You’ve been cold to me so long I’m crying icicles instead of tears.”
He then says that there is only one girl that he has ever loved.
But she left him saying. I want you , I need you. But there ain’t no way I’m ever going to love you.
Now when you take the hitch into account. You realize he’s talking about the same woman. Who didn’t love him. But eventually fell in love with him to late. After he fell out of love with her.
I wouldn’t call Meatloaf humourous so much as I would call him ironic.
Of course if you find irony funny.
@@tomheinrichs7058 i DON'T GET NO ONE MENTIONS THE SONGWRITER AND PRODUCER, jIM sTEINMAN WHO DIRECTED HIS PERFORMANCE, NOT SAYING THAT mEAT DID NOT HAVE THE MOST INCREDIBLE VOICE AND RANGE BUT A LOT OF THE CREDIT GOES TO sTEINMAN FOR THE GREAT lYRICS, THEY WERE A TEAM SENT FROM HEAVEN. Oops sorry about the caps, trying to get it down too fast and left them on from my last comment.
"We don't mourn musicians death because we knew them, we mourn them because they helped us know ourselves" - Unknown.
I think we all needed that.
Excellent quote, and very true.
Well put
Beautiful sentiment!
WOW! Perfectly said!!!!!
He brought Jim Steinman lyrics to life. These weren’t just songs, they were like short novels. I really think you should listen to “Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are”. In light of his passing, it is a story that really hits deep.
This is a great video to the song but just want to warn you that there is a sexy part to it. But it really is an amazing video.
ruclips.net/video/3jPMv9zJ1LE/видео.html
Yes, this is a great Meatloaf song. Please react to this song.
Objects is one of my favorite songs by Meatloaf but it’s so emotional I actually can’t listen that often because I will absolutely cry! So sad he’s passed!
@@yasa7080 I agree. It is a deeply emotional song and in the video it appears to be very personal to him. Whether it was or just him acting I don’t know. But he truly seems moved by the story.
Alas Jim passed away last April but he had many other hits with other artist total eclipse of the heart is one of many but meatloaf did justice to anuthing he sang or did RIP
The first part of the song is him talking to a girl, telling her he can't love her, and the last part is him recalling the girl that said the same thing to him, so many years ago. Basically, he can't love anyone because he is still in love with the girl that couldn't love him.
One year later I was going to explain that also, glad you beat me to it! Once you understand that, it makes it that much sadder!!!
Me and my wife met him a few years a go a convention, we have met dozens of celebrities over the years and he by far was our favorite, he was so down to earth, every single person who stood in line got a few minutes to actually talk to him, he didn't rush at all he actually cared, when I was walking away I said thank you, and he grabbed my wrist and said, no thank you, without all of you I wouldn't be here. The fame never changed him, he was so humble. After I met him, I went home and watched every interview I could find, and he truly meant every word he said to me. Rip Meat there will never be anyone like you again.
Yes, totally agree!-- thank you for posting.
He was just a very decent caring guy. Simply a good person. R.I.P.
Awesome
His daughter, actress Amanda Aday, is the same way. I met her at a 3-day fan convention for HBO's Carnivale. She was great with every single one of us.
If you haven't seen it there is a documentary on him. He, well probably most artist back then, had a hell of a time getting into the business.
“Heaven Can Wait” and “For Crying Out Loud” are phenomenal examples of his range.
Yes yes yes yes!
Both great songs, “For Crying Out Loud” is possibly my favorite of his.
Absolutely
I just literally posted this before I read your comment. AGREED!
Absolutely..
Don't forget Jim Steinman the gentlemen who wrote these songs for Meatloaf. He passed last year. Meatloaf was also known to collapse from exhaustion after he performed. He always left everything he had on stage.
Steinman on the piano. Amazingly talented songwriter.
He did most of the writing that's true but meatloaf also contributed to some of the songs later on.
I was going to mention Jim Steinman..
Yes, I just wanted to mention him, seeing him on piano.
Jim Steinman went on to wright for Celine Dion, Bonnie Tyler, Barbara Streisand, Air Supply, and others. At one point he had the number 1 and 2 songs on the top 100 with Total eclipse of the heart, and Making Love out of Nothing at All!!
It has been reported that before going on stage at every concert, Meatloaf would say to himself, "This might be the last chance you ever get to perform in front of an audience." And he ALWAYS left EVERYTHING out on that stage. He gave everything he had for every song during every concert. And THAT'S what made Meatloaf, Meatloaf.
I slways wanted to tell my second wife this the cheatin b otch
Meatloaf's delivery of songs was beyond reproach, amazing voice....and Jim Stienman's lyrics...the perfect match.
Jim Stienman doesn't get enough praise.
Those two people made magic!
And Tod Rudgren's production
@@rjb6327 Same with the guy who worked with Elton John (See? I forget his name too)
RIP Meat....This album was a HUGE part of my senior year in high school.
me too. I passed the album down to my brother...
Mine as well
Btw, special condolences to Meatloaf's daughter Pearl Aday, who sang with the backup singers behind her dad for years. I can only imagine her heartbreak in this sad day. 💔🌹🕊️
GOOD thing she has her husband Scott Ian to comfort her..
Wasn't she also the daughter who was in the HBO series "CARNIVALE?"
One of the most heartbreaking songs ever. Who hasn't been in that scenario at least once?
When Amber said she knew this would be fun ... I mean, if getting your heart ripped out, then realizing you just did the same thing to someone else is your idea of fun. 😉 beautiful though. Meat Loaf can sing in a voice that pierces the soul. ❤
This song has been with me for so many years. I know what he sang about in this song. RIP Meat. You are so missed.
"but you've been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears" is the best line in a song ever, in my humble opinion.
Completely agree, the visualization of that line kills me, brings me back to a bad one
@@hunter0311able "Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever, there'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me" is another line that has me blubbing. It's from For the Good Times by Perry Como, written by Kris Kristopherson.
@@muddlepond good one
"Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" is the song that got me hooked on Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman's music. RIP, Meat. Now you and Jim can play for the angels.
Same here.
That's Jim Steinman at the piano, who wrote all the songs in Meat's Bat Out of Hell album, as well as Bat Out of Hell II. Steinman wrote hits for other artists as well. "Total Eclipse of the Heart", sung by Bonnie Tyler, "Making Love Out of Nothing at All", sung and played by Air Supply", and others. Steinman was a nerdy guy who wrote grand, sweeping operatic rock songs, filled with passion, pathos, and wry humor. He died just a few months ago.
Steinman also produced his own album, Bad for Good. A good album in its own right, but his voice is not Meatloaf's.
Steinman also wrote "Its All Coming Back to Me Now" which was a hit for Celine Dion. He would go on to assemble an album called 'Original Sin' by Pandora's Box, a group of four amazing female vocalists including Ellen Foley.
@@stpnwlf9 Ellen Foley, who did the duets with Meat Loaf, was also a regular on the early seasons of Night Court.
@@jpmnewyork and eventually replaced by Marlie Post. Yep. She was great.
He always wore a white shirt with a frill and had a redh handkerchief. He is amazing in concert, I saw him twice when he toured and camecto the UK. His concerts 1were 1always a sell out. 1ewas in live with this man since I was 18! RIP you will be so missed but have left a brilliant legacy behind. God bless ❤️
When singer becomes artist, that's Meatloaf.
Listen closely, the phrase is about two people. The girl who broke his heart and his devotion to her that keeps him from loving anyone else.
And then he turns around and does to someone else what was done to him. In a way it's about more than 2 people, it's at least 3, possibly 4.
Exactly
@@marygreenfield528 I'd say it's about two out of three people. That ain't bad.
He's being honest. And after so many years he realized how the first girl felt when she had to be honest with him, and he knows how the current girl is feeling because he's been there. And if you've ever been in that situation, you understand that even knowing doesn't make it feel any better.
@@leodejongful Not in my experience. Been there done that. Thought I'd never love again, went through a few one-sided relationdhips and had to break up, then finally met the REAL one.
The world is a better place for having had such an incredible performer, and humble, kind man.
Thanks for the memories, Meat.
RIP
are you delusional? humble and kind are 2 things he was not. He was a complete asshole to everyone around him.
He was not Ana hole!!!!!!!
❤
I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That) is an amazing song by Meatloaf showing off his amazing voice for a more soft rock, he could do it all. R.I.P.
It's so nice to hear young people appreciate all genres of music. This song makes me cry.
Me too
He was worth a deviation from Female Fridays. Such a powerful voice.
Great musician... thank you for honoring him. This was one of his most commercially successful songs. His other big one was "I Would Do Anything for Love (But I won't do that)". The video for that one is like a mini-movie.
edit: My take on this song was always that the first part is him telling a woman that he can't love her but then at the end of the song he tells you why he couldn't love her because the only woman he ever truly loved did the same thing to him... that she wanted him, needed him, but couldn't love him and then left him. It's kind of an endless circle.
That’s always been my take on the two parts of the song too. Very sad song.
💯💯💯 My take as well. Pretty clear, imo.
That's my interpretation as well.
Meatloaf was opera trained and had a 3 octave range. I saw him in concert twice and of the hundreds I have seen those were the best 2 concerts I ever saw.
That's selling him short ;-) In have a 3 octave range and can hold a tune but I'm not in his league.
One of Meatloaf’s biggest fans will surprise many people. Luciano Pavarotti thought if Meat had pursued classical singing, he would have been considered as one if the greatest classical singers of all time. His range was impeccable and his voice was powerful. RIP Meat, you will be sorely missed.
The only reason I bought the Bat out of Hell album in '78 was because of the single they put out on the radio " You Took the Words Right out of my Mouth." I never dreamed the rest of the album was so good. An actual story from start to end.
"On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?"
@@fnjesusfreak First you have to answer this questionnaire.
You should check out "You Took the Words Right out of my Mouth." Another brilliant song.
Along with "Heaven can wait!"
Yessss! 🔥🔥🔥
Yes
@@trevorshields7347 Along with the whole Damn Bat Out Of Hell album. One album you can just put on and let just roll through and enjoy every song.
On a hot summer's night...my sister and I remember this from when my dad had the record. I LOVE Meatloaf. So so sad
I remember my daughter desperately wanting to go to his concert (she did). I didn't know who he was and looking him up and couldn't understand the appeal. I understand now. I really enjoyed this. I was spending all of my time teaching and wasn't up to date. Now my baby is 51 years old. RIP Meat Loaf.😢
You mentioned Meatloaf's theatrics. He was in fact an actor primarily. He was part of the original cast in the broadway play "Hair", as well as movies like "fight club", and the cult classic "Rocky Horror Picture show", two of his more popular appearances, but he was in many more movies and television shows as well. He actually got into music as an alternative career.
"Meatloaf is a genre" Truer words have never been spoken. There has never been another like him. RIP Meat, and thank you for the soundtrack of my childhood.
💔💔💔💔💔
I would like to echo your comment, word for word
As would I!!!!
Add me to that comment
"I'm crying icicles instead of tears" - what a great line that is!
Don't forget that these songs were composed by Jim Steinman, the piano player in this video.
IMO this is the most powerful song that Meatloaf ever did. It still amazes me that someone as big into blasting songs can deliver such a powerful ballad.
It’s sad we are reaching that point in time, where we are losing some of our greatest musical artists, due to them simply getting older.
I saw Meatloaf in concert back in 1988, and met him in 1994, when I worked for security at Fenway Park....he was a big baseball fan, and was there to sing the National Anthem.
I greeted him at the clubhouse door, by saying, “it’s an honor to meet you Mister Loaf”.
He seemed at least mildly amused ☺️
Thank you for sharing this experience. I've heard from many that he was awesome to meet.
It is very sad and I guess this happens to every generation when the older generation of their musical heroes start to die away. Tough to take!
This song is about a girl that is in love with him, and he tells her he can't love her..then he reveals the same thing was done to him with the woman he loved. R.I.P. Meatloaf....he never considered himself a singer, but a performer who played a singer.
I was about too clarify this point also. And he is one of my favorites. The wife and I always sing the alternating parts to PBTDBL every time it comes on the radio. Love his music, and of course, the writing by Jim.
It’s the same woman who now wants him back - he’s crying icicles because she told him the same when she broke up with him
He sings every word with total conviction and DEMANDS your complete attention. He sucks you into his world (and equal kudos to Jim Steinman for giving him such fantastic material to work with).. I am not normally into 'theatrical rock" but Meatloaf is the exception. He had a rare gift and BOOH has been part of my collection since I was a young teen.
Part of the brilliance of Meat’s storytelling is the guy playing the piano behind him, Jim Steinman. Weird dude, but brilliant songwriter and Meat Loaf made his songs come to life.
One of my favorite movies is The Rocky Horror Picture Show which featured some of him in it. He was a phenomenal artist in the music and film industries. He will be missed. RIP Meatloaf.
He also played the part of “Eddie” in Rocky Horror.
❤️✌🏼😎
None of his music
My mistake I meant to say featured him in it.
He was Eddie in RHPC, and performed “Hot Patootie, Bless My Soul”. That was 1975. My first exposure to him. I love that song, and his voice was so great. 💜
Thank you for covering Meat Loaf today. He had a long and wonderfully entertaining career. Also, I saw earlier you got a nice shout out from Andy & Alex!
"But you been cold to me so long, I'm crying icicles instead of tears" , "Looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks, but their ain't no coup Deville hiding at the bottom of a crackerjack box". Golden lyrics! Great reaction!
Meatloaf brings so much emotion to his songs it feels like he really understands those feelings and can tap into them easily. In my mind, he was very underrated so I am thrilled that you two have found him and appreciate how good he really was. BTW, at the beginning of the song he is telling a woman he is never going to love her. Later in the song (where you guy stopped and talked) he says that there is only one girl that he ever loved and then goes on to sing about how she said she would never love him (but 2 out of 3 ain’t bad). ANOTHER GREAT SONG is You Took the Words Right Out of Mouth - awesome song.
R.I.P. Meatloaf. I knew when I heard the sad news that Jay and Amber would do a tribute. You two rock!
The first male to be featured on a Friday in many, many months. But circumstances definitely warrant it. RIP Mr. Loaf.
"Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" is a must!!! It resurrected his career to relevance in the 90s.
Meatloaf was a great performer -- I love him so much. However, pay attention to the man on the piano - that is the brilliant Jim Steinman. Jim wrote the music and lyrics for the great songs like this one as well as all of the other music on Bat out of Hell 1 and 2. He and Meatloaf together were one of the greatest partnerships ever. We lost Jim a few months ago as well.
I have his bat of hell album on cassette tape,
Meatloaf is passion, plain and simple. Like Bruce Springstein he empties the tank every time. He considered himself an actor first, a singer second. Dan Rather does a great interview you should watch. One of the greatest rock singers of all time.
You would love “I Would Do Anything for Love”. Best song. He is such a storyteller. You know he started out in theater and movies. He was in the original production of Rocky Horror and recreated the character in the movie version. He was brilliant in everything he did.
There are a couple of versions of this. The album version may be a bit long for a reaction at 12 minutes, but there's the single version at 5 minutes. Make sure you get the original video as well, not a lyrics video; it adds a lot to the experience.
@@Michael75579 The long version is so much better.
My favorite song of his.
Forgot to mention Dead Ringer For Love, which is really just a straightforward rocker but still a lot of fun. It's another one you really need the proper video for.
Came here to say the same, love that song!
The beginning of the song is HIM telling his current girl that he'll never love her (even though he wants her to stay the night because of the snowstorm outside... and because he does "want" and "need" her.) But she's crying and wants to leave. He tells her about the "only girl that I've ever loved" long ago. The last verse shows how that old girlfriend never loved him back and broke up with him using the same phrase that he's now ironically using to end his current relationship.
This song delivers all the melodies and harmonies sang with most authentic soul and genuine lyrics tethered to an inescapable and sadly relatable irony. You will never get more from any other love song so beautifully delivered as in this timeless rock ballad. ❤️
It’s the same woman who now wants him back.
@@michelekoop244 no
@@Cissy777 it's the same woman from the beginning, that's the genius of the song, it's in reverse.
same girl in both parts of the song. he got over her
Just an unbelievably talented guy who was a powerhouse vocalist that drew in millions of fans worldwide. RIP .
Thank you guys for being so respectful to this wonderful man.
"You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach, You'll never drill for oil on a city street, I know you're looking for a ruby
In a mountain of rocks, But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding
At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box." such amazing lyrics. I remember buying "Bat out of Hell" when it came out. I got it at Models record section. Yes before Models was all sports, it was actually a department store. R.I.P. Meat....
Oy, I remember Modells!! I used to buy records at Korvettes too.
I listen to this song just for that line....brilliant lyric.
My favorite line is You've been cold to me so long "I'm crying ice cycles instead of tears".
our boy J has the most friendliest huggableist aura/face
Each album was a theatrical play. When touring he sang from cover to cover as a true show!
You can't praise Meatloaf without mentioning Jim Steinman, Jim wrote the songs Meatloaf delivered them with laser guided precision.
Meatloaf's fantastic voice and Steinman's songwriting were a perfect match. Meatloaf had other albums, but the ones that everyone knows are the two albums Steinman wrote for him.
Jim Steinman also wrote Total eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler).
Steinman lo key wrote the love songs of a generation for Meatloaf, Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion.
That is exactly right guess we have just heard it most of our life and know it inside out or at least i do!!!❤
I was shocked to hear that Meat Loaf passed this morning. He had a huge personality and he will be missed by all music lovers. He was in the Rocky Horror Picture Show as well. Great performer.
One of the best voices ever.
You can hear every word he sings because of his acting! Enunciation is perfect!! ❤
I love Meatloaf. Yes, this is one of the softer, slower tracks. But that's the way Steinman and Meatloaf would compose their music. It's so lyrical and the music always fits it. Because it's more than just music, it's storytelling, poetry, enlightening. Every Meat Loaf song is like a one act play. Outstanding. RIP LEGEND
"Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" is a really sad song. I loved it as a kid, but I didn't realize the story until I got older. My interpretation is he could only love one woman, and she didn't love him back. Now it's years later, and he found someone who loves him... but he can't return the love because of the woman in his past. He'll always be hung up on her. He really DID tell the chorus from two different perspectives. Him in the present, and as we find out later, the only woman he'll ever love from the past. 😥 He's telling this woman the same thing the other woman told him years ago.
Exactly how I interpreted it.
I always took it as that too but a year or so ago I read someone else's interpretation that suggested that it's the same woman. She came back after leaving him but since it crushed him and changed his perception of her, he can't love the new her because he's still hung up on the old her.
That was my interpretation as well
This is why I think it is the same woman (and I never realized this until a couple years ago when I also read it from another poster somewhere):
Here are lyrics from the 1st verse (the current woman):
I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
And here are lyrics from the 2nd verse (woman from a long time ago):
There's only one girl I'll ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back
Ooh I know
Sounds like the same woman to me. She broke his heart many years ago, and now she wants to get back together. He can't get her out of his heart (because of their long relationship and the fact that he once did love her) and he wants and needs her, but he just can't love her anymore after she left his heart cold (made him cry icicles). If it were two different women, that first verse lyric wouldn't make much sense.
Same here, with most of the songs of his growing up my parents loved his songs so that is how I heard them and fell in love with them, but as i got older started realizing the story and meaning in them.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. RIP Meatloaf
You say about having to see him live but the album recording of "Heaven Can Wait" is the softest of the lot and incredibly emotional. He was larger than life at a concert, even drumming up audience applause for an encore was somewhat over the top, saw him in the UK....
I finally got my youngest son to actually listen to this song, and his reaction made me laugh. He just said, "Damn, that's cold." Yes, yes it is...lol.
RIP to the master of “Power Ballads”. Grew up listening to him cruising the streets with my girlfriend (now wife). He will be missed.
One of our favorites is “I would do anything for love”. Check it out.
I give that title to Air Supply, that's all they did lol. but he was one of the best at it.
Check out Total Eclipse of the Heart if you want a power ballad!
Meatloaf’s songs were never just a song but an event!! I love this song. RIP Meat
You guys did a great job with this! Thanks for honoring Meatloaf!
The man playing the piano in the background is Jim Steinman who wrote many of Meat Loaf's biggest hit songs. He also wrote hits for other artists including two songs you reacted to sung by Bonnie Tyler.
Steinman passed away in 2021. Meatloaf's voice, Steinman's lyrics and Todd Rundgren's production combined to make Bat Out Of Hell a legendary album
Meat Loaf made several albums without Jim, but they were all flops apparently.
Most amazingly theatrical entertainment ever…I would do anything for love is a MUST and y’all were both right….he said it in the first verse to the girl he was with at the time and it was because the love of his life had said it to him many years before
RIP Meatloaf
Always brings a tear to my eyes - the perfect song
Beautifully done. Meatloaf sang beautifully! There will be another like him.
Such sad news today. Thank you for honoring him.
Thank you for honoring Meat Loaf. R.I.P. MeatLoaf
It should be noted that this, and most of his songs were written by Jim Steinman, who also wrote Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse Of The Heart", and is responsible for Meatloaf's Genre, and who is also on piano in this song, and did additional vocals, along with Rory Dodd, and Eric Troyer, all three deserve recognition, and you definitely should check out their music...they are all terrific!
Thank you for such a kind and respectful reaction.
I was fortunate enough to see him perform live and believe that you are right. Even if someone was not into his music, they would leave a live gig as a fan of his.
A great performer. Also an under-rated actor.
The lyrics start with him leaving the girl because he doesn’t love her. The lyrics end with him explaining the only girl he ever loved told him the same thing! Sad
It was the same girl.
She could be what he wanted not the other way around.
He was a real "First Cut is the Deepest" sort of romantic.
@@clfrancis your not listening to it real good, CLEARLY 2 different women......
@@clfrancis No, it's two different women. Start of the song he is sad to be leaving but he has been honest with the woman saying that he wants her, needs her, but will never love her. And then he talks about the only woman he'll ever love (a past relationship) and THAT woman said the same thing to him: I want you, I need you, I'm never going to love you.
I think today in particular, you should react to his song "Heaven Can Wait". It's a beautiful, sad, and poignant song. But it's so fitting for his untimely passing. RIP Meat Loaf 💔
By far my all time fav Meat Loaf song...beautiful indeed.
The very first time I heard this, I was leaving where my girlfriend worked in about late July 1978. These words hit so close to home I almost gave up everything. A few weeks later, sitting on the bank of the Panama canal, I told a fellow soldier I was going to marry her. God was showing me that day, I was to take care of her forever, just couldn't see it it yet. Meatloaf was also an actor.
This song by Meatloaf is his best song, the song is one of the most passionate song that pulls at your heart. No one but meatloaf can do this song he owns it, so beautiful. It’s so sad that music like this is no longer
I'm not crying. I'm not crying, you're crying. R.I.P. Meat Loaf. I've purposely avoided this song until now, because I didn't want the water works to start.
This made me cry too.
Yep, same here dammit.
Jim Steinman, the gentleman playing the piano, wrote all of Meatloaf's albums along with writing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" for Bonnie Tyler, "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" for Celine Dion, "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" for Air Supply and "Read 'Em and Weep" for Berry Manilow.
The Bat Out of Hell album by Meatloaf is rated as one of the 10 best albums ever recorded, even along side Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album. Every sing the album is fantastic and a 3 songs you reacted to is from this album.
@donald foster
Jim Steinman also wrote two songs for the 'Streets Of Fire' soundtrack. 'Nowhere Fast' and 'Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young'. Two amazing Jim Steinman songs that people forget about!
I just finished watching your vid about Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Meatloaf hit upon so many truths in his songs. PBTDL is one of them. It's a classic, it's funny, it's loud, it's fast-moving. On the other end of the spectrum is this song, and I'm so thankful you put this one up, as well. I would not even care to think of how many people have lived the scenario presented in this song. There is no other song that comes as close to the definition of "bittersweet" as this song does. Just another one of the shining facets of the gift Meatloaf gave to us all.
Objects in the rear view mirror gets me in the heart everytime, when he sings about his dad 😭
Bothe Boston and Meatloaf's first albums came out around the same time frame and they completely rocked our world as teenagers. Very big albums in rock history.
He wrote and performed Rock Operas.
If you listen to his albums from beginning to end, it tells a complete story.
I’ve been brutally corrected.
Edit Jim Stienmen receives the writing credit.
He didn't write any of his hits (if he wrote any songs). This song, along with everything else on Bat Out Of Hell, and I would Do Anything For Love, were all written by Jim Steinman (who died last year).
Jim Steinman gets the writing credit.
@@gregfagan199 yeah, Jim Steinman wrote every song on Bat 1 and 2 plus I think 2 other albums for Meat Loaf. He also wrote Total Eclipse of the Heart for Meat Loaf to sing but the record company didn't want to pay him for the song so Jim Steinman gave it to Bonnie Tyler and it turned out to be a massive hit for her.
These videos aren't done live. These are just videos produced to look like the band playing a live show. Which was a great way to capture them and let them stand on their own. But these are the studio versions that you hear on the album played over the live action footage shot on a set.
You two bring me joy! This loss hurts and thank you for this! 🇨🇦
RIP Meatloaf. Definitely one of the most under appreciated musical talents to ever grace our radio air waves and ears still today! A fitting request for today might be "Heaven Can Wait".
Meatloaf was definitely part of my college playlist. RIP Meatloaf. Thanks guys for playing.
So great to see the younger generation hearing this classic breakup song for the first time! I've had this song playing in my head on and off since it came out in 1977. Meat Loaf considered himself an actor first and a singer second, he appeared in over 60 movies and films
This was popular at the skating rink, for couple skates. Nowadays, i love to sing it at karaoke. Meatloaf will always be a treasure. RIP ❤️
"Few people understand this, as it is obscure: there is not a past love and a current girl in this. It's the same girl. She has changed her mind about him, but her inability to love him in the past has ruined it for him, so now even though she has changed her mind, the girl he once loved is gone as far as he is concerned."
I remember this was a topic of conversation some years ago, and Meatloaf confirmed it. The woman left him because she didn't love him. When she tried to come back years later realizing she did love him, his love for her had died; he still wanted her, he still needed her, but he would never let himself love her again.
Meatloaf didn't even write the song. It was Jim Steinman.
Then why does he say "there is only one girl that I will ever love"?
I've been arguing the same point on another comment. lol People have to consider the lyrics to all of the songs he performs. He's not going to sing a song without some deeper meaning. It's the same girl! I agree.
@@johnfoster5295 Because she is the same girl physically, but she ripped his heart out. He does not think of her as the same girl that he loved.
@@clfrancis doesn’t it really make more sense that he had his heart broken in his past and now he is in the same situation but reversed. To say “only one girl I ever loved” and have it be a version of the same girl seems like a reach. Sort of a Occam’s razor here.
RIP Marvin Lee Aday, aka Meat Loaf. I hope you guys will do "I Would Do Anything For Love" at some point. I also will never forget his role in the original Rocky Horror Picture Show.
He was so fantastic in The Rocky Horror Picture Show!
This song should have hit number 1 ..
I've got to say that you two just brighten up my day. A truly great couple.
In case your unaware, Meatloaf was a pretty good actor too. He was in numerous movies and tv appearances.
He quit ‘working’ for a minute… to be a great dad AND coach his girls softball team for years. ⚾️ ❤️
Wow! 🥎
I didn’t realize that he actually coached his GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL TEAM too!!!
That’s a trip 😳
Please do another one by Meatloaf called Getting Away and Im Gonna Lover gem for Both of t
@@bigsteve9279 two of the players Pearl and Amanda
Just imagine....... brilliant .
Never swanted to be a young girl before hi fuck!!!! Jaysus!!!
@@bigsteve9279can't do this twice.......
This one was the first one we heard on the radio. For context, I just turned 59 and my cousin is 61; she absolutely loved this! I became more of a fan in college because of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Meatloaf plays Eddie and sings one number, Hot Patootie, near the middle of the film. You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth is also worth a reaction, as is, the video of I Would Do Anything For Love with Meatloaf as either a Vampire or The Beast from Beauty And The Beast.
I grew up with a sense that this storyline would be my personal "fractured fairytale". Most of the marriages around me seem to fall to pieces, so Meatloaf's 2 out of 3 seemed to be a fortune telling for my generation. I am delighted and ever so grateful that I found my Knight in Shining Overalls and we have been married 30 years now. I am so happy that Meat kept my delusions of Prince Charming in check. Love his music, passion and theatrical delivery. This is my first time watching his videos, but his emotions were never in doubt. RIP.
I saw him in person 3 times, early, middle and late in his career. He was the ultimate showman - when he sang it was riveting - you couldn't take your eyes off him. Great reaction
I saw him Live twice (once on the front row) and what I took away from the Shows other than the absolute showmanship, was the fact that about every 3 songs he sincerely would thank the audience for coming and listening and buying his albums. And you knew it was sincere...
At the beginning of the song he is telling a woman that he wants her, he needs her
At the second half of the song he is remembering when a different woman said the same to him.
As I remember from my teen years, there was a tv special where he performed the entire album. I believe these videos are from that special.
correct, but the first woman he cannot love.
@@peterwalsh2470
You are right.
He only loved one woman, years before he met the woman that loves him.
@@peterwalsh2470 The first girl did not love him and he loved her. He is telling the current girl that he wants her and needs her but he does not love her, he still loves the first girl. He wants her to understand no matter what he will never LOVE her.
@@papamaniac2410 There's only one girl. She didn't love him, so she left then she came back and he couldn't love her.
@@papamaniac2410 when I say "first", I mean the first girl mentioned in the song, which in chronological terms, is the "second" girl. so yes, it's confusing.
He could pull at your heart strings. So he's either the greatest lover... or maybe the greatest con man!
John Steinman was the lyricist and Marvin was the instrument that gave his words a voice.
The person that he plays was left abruptly by someone he loved more than they loved him: and now he is doing the same to someone who loves him more than he does them.
"I Want you. I Need you. But I am never going to Love you." This is a Now thing, lets not ruin now good for some future fail.
