Meatloafs songs were written by Jim steinman, a master at “turn of phrase.” When the lyrics combine with meatloaf’s theatrics, it’s an entire experience. You may want to look up songs written by Jim steinman. Some were recorded by a few other artists, but they all offer his signature turn of phrase. One of my favorites from Meatloaf written by Jim steinman is “Read ‘em and Weep.” Edited to add: I just stumbled across your channel and you remind me of me when I was younger. I’m a writer by trade, and always appreciated the lyrics of songs as much as, if not more than, the musical accompaniment.
This is my favourite Meat Loaf song. It's beautiful and he had a very powerful wide-ranging voice. I think he had a very dramatic flair and was a fantastic showman. Another great Meat Loaf song to react to is "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)." I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I really appreciate your awesome reactions. We truly had the best music back in the '70s and '80s and it was magical. I'm also a huge fan of Steve Perry and Journey, andI look forward to seeing you react to any of their videos or live performances as well such as "Mother, Father," "Faithfully," "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin,'" "Wheel In The Sky," just to name a few. Thank you, I really enjoyed your reaction to "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad."😄
7:59 The end of the song helps to explain why he thinks a relationship without saying " I love you" can be advantageous in the long run. Considering that the love of his life wouldn't commit to saying she loved him when he so badly needed to hear it. That experience now makes him more committed than ever to not being hurt again in a similar relationship. The only problem is that he's the one now inflicting the pain of rejection and he doesn't even realize it. I'm sure the love of his life probably did it to him also for the very same reasons. A very sad and thought provoking song which is typical of any Meat Loaf performance. He's simply Amazing.
This is one of my favorite Meat Loaf songs. He was very animated when he performed on stage. He had a great voice. He was also an actor. BTW: The piano player is the song writer. He wrote the songs for this album.
Jim Steinman (piano) wrote all of the songs on this album. Unfortunately, we lost both of them within a few of months of each other.😇😇😭😭 I still have this album on vinyl. "Yes, I know you're lookin' for a ruby in a mountain of rocks, but there ain't no Coupe deVille hiding at the bottom of a crackerjack box".
Meatloaf was a great performer, but the credit for music and lyrics go to Jim Steinman for the entire bat out of hell and several years later bat out of hell 2.
Jeeze!! I played this album to death backin the day, probably not listened for twenty years or more. Great album, must dig it out and give it a whirl!!😂😂
*Bro! Meat Loaf was a CHARACTER. After high school in the late 1960s, he intentionally gained 60 pounds to fail the physical exam for the Vietnam War draft. He still got a notice to appear and ignored it! He even appeared on Broadway!* 🙌🏾💪🏾👊🏾
He didn't write the songs but he was a fantastic singer and performer. The guy at the piano, Jim Steinman, wrote most of the songs for Meat Loaf. Meat always emphasized that he considered himself first and foremost as an actor, secondly as a singer. Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf were lifelong friends. They knew each other from the Broadway theater where they both worked in the 1960s. Meat played in some of Jim's musicals. Jim was fascinated from Meat's voice.
Great vocals!! He sings 5 Awesome songs for Ted Nugent on his Free For All album; WRITING ON THE WALL TOGETHER STREET RAT HAMMER DOWN and I LOVE YOU SO I TOLD YOU A LIE 💕 Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼
Jim Steinman was a lyrical genius and wrote Meatloaf's songs. I'd do anything for love has to be next but I also want you to see the live Paradise by the dashboard light video. Great reaction and Peace out 🙏 ☮️ ✌️
You must have seen the video of PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT.. Otherwise you really missed something. Then you really understand the song better. The interaction between the 2 singers is fantastic.
There are a few albums that are a must listen to from front to back and Bat Out Of Hell is one of those albums. It is a masterpiece of its time and now. Great reaction!
I think his heart was broken so badly by his prior relationship, where the girl he loved told him the same thing that he's telling his girl now, that he refuses to open his heart again to anyone for fear of having it broken again. Most people miss the points of the stories that Meatloaf tells because he brings the twist in subtly. In PBTDL it's in the first line "Well, I remember everything as if it happened only yesterday." And, if you caught that then you realize by the end of the song that they are both caught in this loveless relationship that neither one of them wants to leave because of the vows they made to each other long ago. If you miss that line then he really just sounds like a jerk who played this woman just to get in her pants. In this song he also sounds like a jerk if you don't hear the line "There is only one girl that I will ever love, and that was so many years ago". That makes it apparent that he is still so heartbroken over his past relationship that he refuses to allow himself to love anyone again for fear that he'll get his heart ripped open again. I appreciate that you listen to the lyrics and can discern the real meanings of the stories he tells.
Meatloaf is fabulous you should try Bat Out of Hell great song the whole album is great ❤ a suggestion for k.d. lang’s version of Roy Orbison’s song Crying at his tribute concert AMAZING ❤ x
Anything For Love, But I Won't Do That...great suggestion by someone on the comments here. Your analytics are fun to watch, I always watch til the end b/c of it. Meatloaf is an icon, glad your'e enjoying 👍
"He's in love with someone that can't love him because they're in love with someone else." What you said^ brings to mind another great song that you should react to. Check out the song, Love Stinks, by the J. Geils Band. I think you'll like it.
The theme was he treated the girls the same way he was treated . I need you I want you but I'm never gonna love. He was hurt by his love that didn't love him so he did to women same as he was treated 😢😢
"I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" is the next logical choice for reaction. But use the music video, not a live version: th-cam.com/video/9X_ViIPA-Gc/w-d-xo.html
You are so insightful and very smart. Best reactor.
You need to watch Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love But I Won't Do That" and "Bat Out Of Hell" VIDEOS.
Emphasis on watching the music video performances exclusively.
Yes!!

Yup...Jim Steinman. RIP both.
"Bat Out of Hell" is a must listen by Meat Loaf
Meatloaf was a master performer with a great voice. Very popular at the time. RIP. ❤️

I still have this album on vinyl.
"Yes, I know you're lookin' for a ruby in a mountain of rocks,
but there ain't no Coupe deVille hiding at the bottom of a crackerjack box".
Watching Meatloaf is like a Rock Opera so expressive.
Please do I would anything for love but i won’t do that.
The music video is the best route to go. I agree. It's like watching Rock Opera shown as a theatrical film.
Heaven can wait is a must listen, beautiful.... Meatloaf was amazing.......... thank you for the great reaction..........
For you being young I so appreciate you going back to the music I listened to through out my life. Thanks so much your wonderful.
Love Meatloaf and seeing him in person was a true experience.
The look on your face when you first saw what he looked like was priceless. 😃
Meatloaf was a great performer, but the credit for music and lyrics go to Jim Steinman for the entire bat out of hell and several years later bat out of hell 2.

Who can forget his performance of 'Eddie' singing Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul) in The Rocky Horror Show?
My favorite Meatloaf song!
He didn't write the songs but he was a fantastic singer and performer. The guy at the piano, Jim Steinman, wrote most of the songs for Meat Loaf. Meat always emphasized that he considered himself first and foremost as an actor, secondly as a singer.

For Crying Out Loud is magnificent. No video but a must listen.
He had a great tenor voice but was a large and powerful man so he could really belt out the songs like few others could.
Back in high school all the boys were playing this tune 😂❤
You are wise beyond your years kid! I hope you go far in life...
Great vocals!! He sings 5 Awesome songs for Ted Nugent on his Free For All album;
WRITING ON THE WALL
TOGETHER
STREET RAT
HAMMER DOWN and
I LOVE YOU SO I TOLD YOU A LIE 💕 Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼
Jim Steinman was a lyrical genius and wrote Meatloaf's songs. I'd do anything for love has to be next but I also want you to see the live Paradise by the dashboard light video. Great reaction and Peace out 🙏 ☮️ ✌️
One of my favorite songs since I was a teen in the 80s!!
Meat didn't write songs, but he made them come alive. 😊
You must have seen the video of PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT.. Otherwise you really missed something. Then you really understand the song better. The interaction between the 2 singers is fantastic.
Probably my favorite ML song! ❤️🔥
Don't let you meat loaf ;)
I would ENJOY watching your re-reaction to "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"
Special talent. Great song.
I fell in love with this song when it came out. Became one of my breakup songs. ❤
There are a few albums that are a must listen to from front to back and Bat Out Of Hell is one of those albums. It is a masterpiece of its time and now. Great reaction!
He belonged on Broadway. ❤
His Bat Out Of Hell album has sold over 43 million copies! You definitely have to check out the title song.
I think his heart was broken so badly by his prior relationship, where the girl he loved told him the same thing that he's telling his girl now, that he refuses to open his heart again to anyone for fear of having it broken again.

Ohh yeah! You're gonna love this Dreeezy 😊
Keep the Meat Loaf coming
Not a bad tune to be found.
Meat Loaf is a complete entertainer. What a talent we lost.
He IS a performer!!! Keep going, young man. Can't wait for your reactions to Led Zepplin, Procol Harum, Pink Floyd!!!
ELO, téléphone line live would be a great one to do
Meatloaf is fabulous you should try Bat Out of Hell great song the whole album is great ❤ a suggestion for k.d. lang’s version of Roy Orbison’s song Crying at his tribute concert AMAZING ❤ x

he was a actor in 90s.. and slimmed down too... and did put out more reecords
You do need to watch Paradise live.
The theme was he treated the girls the same way he was treated . I need you I want you but I'm never gonna love. He was hurt by his love that didn't love him so he did to women same as he was treated 😢😢
Meatloaf has a somewhat tragic but great story
Definitely react to the video version of Paradise by the Dashboard Light.
I would do anything for love by Meatloaf is soooooo good, but it has to be the original video 😉
"I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" is the next logical choice for reaction. But use the music video, not a live version: th-cam.com/video/9X_ViIPA-Gc/w-d-xo.html
i agree. Another song where the puzzle isn't really solved until the very end of the song.
He told a girl, because another girl told him.
He looks a bit like Elvis here....
