And the bloke playing the piano is the magnificent composer of all these great songs, the legendary Jim Steinman who sadly died around 9 month before the great man himself.
Both a huge loss to the music industry 😔R.I.P
Jim Steinman was the king of epic, operatic pop-rock.
'Total Eclipse of the Heart' may be his biggest song outside of his work with Meatloaf.
@@RolandDeschain1 , let's not forget "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" by Air Supply.
The line "you've been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears" is one of the best lyrics ever
I agree.
"There ain't no Coup De Ville hiding at the bottom of a Crackerjacks box" I think is a great bit of humour in a serious sock.
It's a very chilling lyric, pardon the pun. Def one of my favorite lyrics in any song.
I am glad meatloaf was a part in my lifetime, just about everyone my age had the Bat out of Hell album. He was a great artist RIP
Please treat yourself to his song, "Objects in the rearview mirror appear closer than they are." Beautiful song, great lyrics and terrific video!
My favorite Meatloaf song is; "For Crying out loud".
It's such a powerful song but lyrically and musically.
Brilliant song..one of my favourites too along with Left in the Dark
Another vote for FCOL.
Yes! I hope they do it. I haven't been able to get any reactor to do it.
Hear, hear. It has always been by far my favorite Meatloaf song.
More brilliant songwriting from Jim Steinman, and a brilliant vocal performance by Meat Loaf. The lyrics “ you’ve been cold to me so long I’m crying icicles instead of tears” ..just genius. You guys are hitting all my favourite artists..meat loaf, dire straits, Jimmy Barnes, the Bee Gees. Keep em coming 😊 p.s when you do bat out of hell make sure you do the full album version and not the radio edit single or you will miss out on the epic intro 😊
That is "very" cold.
I second this!
And production from the genius of Todd Rundgren!
By many accounts the 2 women are the same woman. Her inability to love him previously has left him cold, and now she has changed her mind he no longer feels the same way, having wasted his efforts previously ("you've been cold to me for so long"), so he's just repeating her words back to her.
Whaaaaaaatttttttt. Mind is blown away. Great interpretation.
funny i have had this 8 track since i was 4 years old and never nailed that. i think you are right.
Ty for that I always thought 2 women now I see the picture. Should have known from meatloaf.
I firmly believe it's two different women he was in love with somebody and she couldn't love him back she just used him and needed him for that time frame of their life and since his heart was broken he can never feel loved he'd always want to desire and the affection but you just can't say that he loves anybody it just something that he can not feel
Wrong
An interesting fact about Meatloaf is; As a teenager, he was in Dealy Plaza in Dallas, the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated and witnessed the tragedy unfold in real time. As he tried to leave, a secret service agent actually commandeered his car, and raced to Parkland hospital, where the president was taken. So he was there as well. A crazy, but true story. 😮
Sure, if you can believe Meatloaf. Don't forget, he was a MAGA, and MAGA is not known to believe the truth much less even tell the truth.😆😅🤣😂
Wow, he still lives in your head. To bad you can’t just enjoy the music and reaction.
@@jimbarnes8706 "Wow, he still lives in your head." Is redundantly used by the MAGA sheeple, you get zero points for style, and zero points for creativity, but I guess that's how it goes when you're part of a cult, huh?😆😅🤣😂
@@deependz3231 I hope your life is fucked up!! Your thinking is!
@@deependz3231 He won two Elections, and now we have an Economy with double digit inflation thanks to our Dem Commies. Airhead
As has been mentioned, there is only one woman to whom Meatloaf is singing. In the first verse he sings "but you've been cold to me so long, I'm crying icicles instead of tears", referring to the time, long ago, when he passionately loved the woman. She walked out on him back then, telling him, at the time, that "two out of three ain't bad" as she walked out the door. Years later she has returned, hoping to rekindle their relationship, but in the intervening years, Meatloaf has moved on with his life. He is not in love with the woman that she has become, but remains committed to loving the memory of the girl he once knew, before she left him.
That is not correct, it is two women the first verse is her telling him she can't love him and she leaves. Then years later he meets someone else and tells her that he can't love her because his heart belongs to the other girl. It's a never ending cycle.
Agreed it is different women
@@atorothcassidy4866 Yes. After having loved another woman, he doesn't want to take the chance again. That's the interpretation that I get.
No, Meatloaf and Jim have both said that it is the same woman.
@@atorothcassidy4866 Meatloaf and Jim had confirmed numerous time the song refers to the same woman. After she breaks up with him eventually they get together and they switch roles.
When you stopped him and started to talk about that you felt there was more to the story, I was nodding and saying, "yes, yes", keep listening! This song has a special meaning to me, as I know the feeling!!!!!
A bit of trivia- Back in the day Cracker Jacks placed a little trinket in each of their boxes. When the line in the song "there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiden' at the bottom of a Cracker Jacks box", the makers of Cracker Jacks placed a Cadillac Coupe de Ville trinket in the bottom of each box as a nod to the song!
This one is my favorite Meat Loaf song. The turn of phrase, Two out of Three Aint Bad grabbed my attention as a poet. What a great concept to build a song around! Jim Steinman, the fellow who wrote all of the songs, was a great storyteller and was phenomenal at coming up with a great hook to pull you in. In this one, the turnabout aspect of the story is unexpected when it appears. Jim Steinman, the writer of songs, is also the piano player you see in the background behind Meat Loaf.
Another Jim Steinman masterpiece brought to life by Meatloaf! Great reaction ladies❤
Dont know if anyone has mentioned it but Meatloaf was also in "The Rocky Horror Show"
He is talking about a girl that wants him, needs him, but doesn't love him. We can all relate...
A must for ur next Meatloaf, perhaps the best love song ever written, "for Crying Out Loud"
The guy playing piano wrote all his songs.
As said before another classic by Jim Steinman who is in the video playing the piano, if you listen to most of the songs they are about not commiting to love.
My hubby said that the Scarf in his hand is from his grandma & it reminds him that she said to him to never give up…. 💗
“Love Stinks” by The J Geils Band has the same “vicious cycle” message.
I'm sure I was one of many who suggested this to you. My fave Jim Steinman song by Meatloaf. Steinman was the pianist you saw with Meatloaf. The lyrics here are so unique. "crying icycles instead of tears", "ain't no coupe deville in the bottom of a crackerjack box" . But Meatloaf delivers his music so wonderfully. A musical writer and a stage performer. Great combo.
You paused in the middle before getting context. Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman, {songwriter/piano}, created this style of music that became known as Rock Opera, not just singing but performing the song.
The guy who wrote the song is actually playing the piano Jim Steinman in fact he wrote all the songs that you had mentioned by meatloaf
Jim Steinman (piano) wrote all of the songs on this album. Unfortunately, we lost both of them within a couple of months of each other.😭😭
I still have this album on vinyl.
"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".
You Ladies really need to hear his song Heaven can Wait! It really shows you what he can do with the vocals.
In Australia Meatloaf's 'Bat out of Hell' is the biggest selling album of all time. It's a massive part of our popular culture, because we took to it before the rest of the world did.
To this day these songs are FM radio staples.
Our 1978 HS grad class sort of adopted Bat Out Of Hell as our class anthem album, I saw Meat in concert at Disney Pleasure Island (Downtown Disney) in 1989, they played on a outside stage, standing only and cost 10 bucks to get into Pleasure Island back then. Best concert of Meat I ever saw, he truly NEVER left anything on the stage, he gave his all every show.
The song was written byJim Steinman. He wrote all of the songs on Bat out of hell.
Who doesn't like MEATLOAF, moms always make it good
I'm a little late to the party, but I'd like to clarify the point of this song...
Firstly, the song was written by Jim Steinman, who is seen playing the piano.
Secondly, I've been a huge fan of Meat Loaf since he played Eddie in the RHPS.
In the 1st verse, it's not HIM telling HER that he doesn't love her, but rather it is him recalling HER telling him that SHE doesn't love him.
I listened to the BAT OUT OF HELL album until I wore it out, and after a while it occurred to me what the song was about. Also, he explained this in an interview in the late 70's.
Great content, btw, I'm loving your channel!
It was her who said that to him years ago when he loved her… now it’s her coming back to him years later & trying to get him to love her! ✌🏻☀️
You ladies got it wrong, he is singing about the one woman that left him, he’s not saying it to another woman he is telling the story of how he got his heart broken. And as for the passion and facial expression he has is because he trained as a classical artist at Julliard. He study Opera and classical theater and he is the only rock star that could make you feel what he is saying with his body language and facial expressions.
For Crying Out Loud" is a powerful Meatloaf tune.
This was made by him as the antithesis to Elvis's song, "I Want You, I Need You, I love You".
John Stienman is playing the piano he also wrote the songs on Bat Out Of Hell 2 album. If you hear a song from Bat Out Of Hell and one from Bat Out Of Hell 2, you can tell it's the same song writer. If I remember bat out of hell, it was from 1974. I was in 8th grade, and bad out of hell 2 was released in 1991
Meat Loaf also acted in several movies, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Rodie, Fight Club, Wayne's World, Citizen Jane, just to name a few.
"TWO OUT OF THREE AIN'T BAD" is probably my favorite MEATLOAF song and glad you watched the live version.
Next...watch the live version of Meatloaf's, "YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH."
I believe it is the same woman. As the other person said, he mentions that she's been so cold to him for so long that he's crying icicles instead of tears. So he loved her and finally realized that she was never going to love him and he resigned himself to that. But now she has had a change of heart and realized what she had but it's too late because he had a change of heart also
Meatloaf and Jim Steinman both now gone…one of the most brilliant musical teams in recording history. 😢
Jim Steinman , songwriter, is playing piano on this .. Bat Outta Hell ,title track of the album is great as well ....
My favourite song by him was always "You took the words right out of my mouth" back in the day.
You two are a few reactors that actually don't just listen to the songs without understanding the content. Some are for clicks and like you guys actually get it. Much respect.
Love is the only engine of survival, Love is not a light switch that you can just turn on and off, no love is a once in a lifetime experience, Love is eternal, and once it's lost it will never be repeated!
My favourite Meatloaf song.
Heartbreakingly sweet
Meatloaf brought the song to life. Jim steimem was a brilliant song writer. You can hear his words coming out of Air supply and Kim carnes
Two of my favorite Meat Loaf songs are "Objects in the rearview mirror may appear closer than they are," and " Crying out loud." Please put these on your list.
I think his heart was broken and he's afraid to love again. Very relatable.
Rock and roll dreams come through is another amazing Meatloaf tune written and first recorded by Jim Steinman
The piano player in Jim Steiman who wrote all the songs
I Watched an interview with Meatloaf and he saw himself as an actor who can sing. He said he took a minute or so to get into character for each song.
The man at the piano was the writer/composer, Jim Steinman.
Meatloaf 's best song ever. One of the greatest songs of all time.
Was lucky enough to see Meatloaf in concert at Wembley and wow what a performer 😊😊
You should hear him sing... Read Em And Weep or The song he did with Cher... Dead Ringer For Love! Dead Ringer For Love Is my favorite Album of his. He used to give so much energy to a concert he would pass out after leaving the stage they kept oxygen for him backstage because of that.
If you ever in Las Vegas They have Bat out of Hell the Musical as a Residency at the Paris Casino. Unfortunately jim and meatloaf are no longer with us. But meatloaf got to see when it debuted in London to rave reviews of course. Love the video yall. ✌️ n ❤️
Meat Loaf's real name is Michael Lee Aday he was later called "M.L." in reference to his initials, but when his weight increased, his seventh-grade classmates referred to him as "Meatloaf", referring to his 5-foot-2-inch (157 cm), 240-pound (110 kg) stature. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_Loaf
The piano player is Jim steinman, the writer of Meatloaf songs.
It would be interesting to see reactors follow the songwriter thread, especially in the case of Jim Steinman. His work with other artists (Air Supply, "Making Love Out of Nothing at All"; Barry Manilow, "Read 'em and Weep"; Celine Dion, "It's all Coming Back to me Now"; Bonnie Tyler, "Total Eclipse of the Heart", "Holding Out for a Hero", "Faster Than the Speed of Night"; Fire Inc, "Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young" .... some of which have been covered by Meat Loaf later) would be a good musical legacy to follow along. Reactors can make another "thematic" flow from comparing the versions.
EDIT: And how could I forget Taylor Dayne's "Original Sin" from the soundtrack to The Shadow.
Crying ice sickle instead of tears is one of my favorite lyrics
Nobody sounds like Meatloaf. Very passionate.
Love it when youngsters rediscover all the great old acts.
Seriously one of the ONLY reaction channels that has understood this song. THANK YOU!!!
A Todd Rungren production. The album is a parody of teenage lust and love and Meatloaf pulls it off with his powerful and sincere vocals.
I like that you called out that all Meat Loaf (Jim Steinman) songs are a story. That is what I love about them, and that is what I love about Meat Loaf / Jim Steinman. Keep listening to the discography, and you'll see that they all paint a picture / tell a story. You asked if there are any other songs that you should listen to. Listen to them ALL.
I saw him live in Iowa, once upon a time. I am saddened every time I think about him, knowing that he isn't with us anymore.
In the year of Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell lp....paradise was the #3 song...2 out of 3 was the #2 song. It is a lp like few others...ever song is Fantastic!
One of the greatest albums of all time with one of the greatest songs of all time by one of the greatest artists and song writers of all time Jim and Meat. I have been to a Meat Loaf concert it is still one of the best I have seen.
Bat Out of Hell the song, strap in ladies!
This was another of the songs on Meat Loaf's first breakout and hit record, Bat Out Of Hell, every last song was hit , IMO.
To me the song is about a long term relationship where he loved her at the beginning of it but lost feeling over time as she wasn't feeling it, then it went the other way around. Great vocals
meat loaf has a song for every relationship
Meat’s first two or three albums were all written and produced by Jim Steinman, who is playing piano on this video and Paradise by Dashboard Light.
First time I heard this song, it reminded me of the Elvis song, "I want you, I need you, I love you".
Other than just his incredible singing, he made a lot of us who didn't look like a typical "Rock Star," make us think that we could do it to even if we didn't look the part.
You are correct that song is just the way I feel! That song is one I will have for the rest of my life!!!
Love Meat Loaf's music. I'm so glad you're continuing to dive into the Meat Loaf song catalog. He was truly unique and had a style all his own. You could define his music as theatrical rock. All of his songs have a full story that he acts out so brilliantly in his live performances.There is no better place to start than Meat Loaf's 1977 Bat Out Of Hell album. It is a masterpiece and one of my all-time favorite records. "2 Out Of 3 Ain't Bad" is my favorite and the first song I heard on the radio back in 1978 that introduced me to Meat Loaf's music. My second favorite is "Paradise By The Dashboard Light (which you've already reacted to). Other great songs from that album for you to try are "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth", "For Crying Out Loud" and "Bat Out Of Hell".
Baby Gap, I read a fun story about the writing of "2 Out of 3 Ain't Bad" that I think you will enjoy. Jim Steinman is the brilliant songwriter responsible for writing all of these Meat Loaf songs. The story I read was that Jim was listening to the radio with his girlfriend. The song that was playing was Elvis Presley's classic #1 song from 1956 "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You". Jim's girlfriend turns to him and says. "Why don't you write something simple like that?" So, Jim Steinman, known for his more complicated lyrics, responded with, "I want you, I need you but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you" and named the song "2 Out Of 3 Ain't Bad". That was his inspiration.
I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being. Marvin Lee Aday (Michael) AKA Meatloaf your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the decades of memories.
Was lucky enough to see him live in London in about 1993/1994ish. It was an amazing performance. Sadly his voice went towards the end of his career, but he left us with some amazing songs. I think (bit of a guess) that the piano player in these early live vids is Jim Steinman who wrote all the songs on Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell albums ( of which this song is from the Original Bat out of Hell album)
Just like the person who wrote before me the genius of Jim Steinman was behind all the songs top 5 album of all time
He has been hurt and doesn't have what it takes to love again.
Great reaction ladies, Thank you! To us who love Meat Loaf, he and Jim Steinman stand like two monuments of rock, genre-transgressing progressive rock/ rock opera/ hard rock/ rock ballad. Such great music and performance. He doesn't just sing the song, he becomes the song. Keep reaction to Meat Loaf. Try "Bat out of Hell" and "For Crying Out Loud".
Great song,,,,one of his BEST. 💥💥💥👍😎
You CAN'T pick who you love,,,🤪🤪🤪👍
LOVE STINKS!! He loves her, but she loves him, and he loves someone else, you just can't win!!
One of the greatest lines is in this song. I crying icecycles instead of tears
Amazing song by an amazing performer. He even massively upstaged Jack Black in "Kickapoo," the opening song of Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny, and all he got was about half a verse.
Hes doing the same thing that was done to him. Hes talking about repeating the cycle of heartbreak and how humans can't let go sometimes and this causes us to hurt others unintentionally
For Cryin out loud, you know I love you... explains it all.
Wonderful song, amazing artist and, great reaction ladies. He was such a great talent and character, the combination of Jim Steinman's songs being sung by Meatloaf was serendipity at it's finest. It doesn't matter which song of theirs you do, you will love them all.
It's a sad truth - hurt people hurt other people. Unrequieted love can last a lifetime Cheers!!
Meat Loaf was something special, and he sure is missed. This is one of those early releases that left some wonderful impressions. I can't imagine a world without his music. When you're ready for more, a beautiful choice is "OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE" th-cam.com/video/3jPMv9zJ1LE/w-d-xo.html. The music is superb, the cinematography is incredible, and the lyrics touch on several very deep aspects of the human experience. It is truly a spectacular artifact.
Once I heard he was talking about the same woman it made perfect sense
He is throwing her words back at her
She didn’t want him the way he wanted her and now it’s too late
It doesn't get any better than this. And yet there's still to discover.. For Crying Out Loud.
Hi,
Love your content,
Meatloaf played BOB in fight club.
although the songs you have reacted to at awesome, in my opinion "bat outta hell" is by far his greatest song.
His story telling is incredible matched with Jim Steinman's music makes an awesome combination.
I saw Him live in Dublin, Ireland, way back when I was growing up and it was an amazing live show, before I moved to my now home
Decay, Melbourne, Australia
I lived this song, it always makes me cry.
This song always reminds me of a woman I knew in Omaha many decades ago.
Kate, I hope you are well and happy if you are out there.
Love and life can be a slippery slope of emotions that can become very complicated.
Same woman. She broke his heart first. That’s the woman he loved so many yrs ago
Great reaction ladies. I have been on the receiving end of this. She broke my heart.
great reaction ladies you should also do " heaven can wait", on another note you really should do a reaction to " its all coming back to me now " there is a story behind that song it was originally wrote for the bat out of 2 album, BUT at that time jim and meatloaf wern't on speaking terms so it never got made ..the song was given to celine dion who released it as a single ..however a few years later jim and meatloaf go back together and made the bat out of 2 album and meatloaf recorded it ,and did it as a duet with a woman singer. would be cool if you did a double reaction first to celines then the meatloaf version .. and very good to see jim and meatloaf together on the piano at the end ,as they are now together in heaven RIP guys
Hi, Alan
He did a ton of good work on film and on television. Rocky Horror Show on stage and Rocky Horror Picture Show on screen to start it all. No one could have ever sung Jim Steinman’s lyric but Meat Loaf.
There was a song in the early 60's by Gail Garnet, that sounds like she was the girl that shafted him in the first place, We'll Sing In The Sunshine.
He is also an actor google his movies enjoy you two
