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 đR.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.
These are Jim Steinman's songs - sung, acted out. and brought to life by Meatloaf.
Love it when youngsters rediscover all the great old acts.
Great song,,,,one of his BEST. đ„đ„đ„đđ
You CAN'T pick who you love,,,đ€Șđ€Șđ€Șđ
More brilliant songwriting from Jim Steinman, and a brilliant vocal performance by Meat Loaf. The lyrics â youâve been cold to me so long Iâm crying icicles instead of tearsâ ..just genius. You guys are hitting all my favourite artists..meat loaf, dire straits, Jimmy Barnes, the Bee Gees. Keep em coming đ 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 đ
That is "very" cold.
I second this!
And production from the genius of Todd Rundgren!
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!!!!!
Another Jim Steinman masterpiece brought to life by Meatloaf! Great reaction ladiesâ€
My favourite Meatloaf song.
Heartbreakingly sweet
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.
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.
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 Ladies really need to hear his song Heaven can Wait! It really shows you what he can do with the vocals.
A must for ur next Meatloaf, perhaps the best love song ever written, "for Crying Out Loud"
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.
Was lucky enough to see Meatloaf in concert at Wembley and wow what a performer đđ
It was her who said that to him years ago when he loved her⊠now itâs her coming back to him years later & trying to get him to love her! âđ»âïž
My favourite song by him was always "You took the words right out of my mouth" back in the day.
He has been hurt and doesn't have what it takes to love again.
The guy playing piano wrote all his songs.
You are correct that song is just the way I feel! That song is one I will have for the rest of my life!!!
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.
The song was written byJim Steinman. He wrote all of the songs on Bat out of hell.
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. đź
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.đđ đ€Łđ
Wow, he still lives in your head. To bad you canât 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?đđ đ€Łđ
@@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
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
Jim Steinman , songwriter, is playing piano on this .. Bat Outta Hell ,title track of the album is great as well ....
What a Great Great heart wrenching song sung by a fantastic legend R.i.P
My hubby said that the Scarf in his hand is from his grandma & it reminds him that she said to him to never give upâŠ. đ
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".
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
He is talking about a girl that wants him, needs him, but doesn't love him. We can all relate...
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
Dont know if anyone has mentioned it but Meatloaf was also in "The Rocky Horror Show"
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!
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.
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)
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.
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.đđ
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".
Rock and roll dreams come through is another amazing Meatloaf tune written and first recorded by Jim Steinman
I think his heart was broken and he's afraid to love again. Very relatable.
Great reaction ladies. I have been on the receiving end of this. She broke my heart.
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
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!
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.
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.
âLove Stinksâ by The J Geils Band has the same âvicious cycleâ message.
Who doesn't like MEATLOAF, moms always make it good
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.
Y'all are definitely taking a dive into Meatloaf đ€đđ€
The acting roles I remember him most in:
Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Bob in Fight Club
The bad guy in "Black Dog", with Patrick Zwayze...
@@cargo71 hmmm been far too long since I've seen that and don't really remember it, I'll have to find it to watch, I have a fairly sizeable personal video library (somewhat over a thousand dvd/blu-ray) but that doesn't happen to be included
LOVE STINKS!! He loves her, but she loves him, and he loves someone else, you just can't win!!
Once I heard he was talking about the same woman it made perfect sense
He is throwing her words back at her
She didnât want him the way he wanted her and now itâs too late
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.
The man at the piano was the writer/composer, Jim Steinman.
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.
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
I lived this song, it always makes me cry.
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.
Crying ice sickle instead of tears is one of my favorite lyrics
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.
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!
Seriously one of the ONLY reaction channels that has understood this song. THANK YOU!!!
For Cryin out loud, you know I love you... explains it all.
The piano player is Jim steinman, the writer of Meatloaf songs.
Nobody sounds like Meatloaf. Very passionate.
It's a sad truth - hurt people hurt other people. Unrequieted love can last a lifetime Cheers!!
God bless you both, good job ladies
I love watching you two, I love meatloaf, he is very theatrical. I'm watching from UK đ
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
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. âïž n â€ïž
I really like this video because you just see Meatloaf singing the song with Jim Steinman in the background. Itâs a great visual. â„ïžâđŒđ
For Crying Out Loud" is a powerful Meatloaf tune.
meat loaf has a song for every relationship
One of the greatest lines is in this song. I crying icecycles instead of tears
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
Yesssss! Another glorious Meatloaf reaction. And my personal fave song too! X
Meatâs 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.
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.
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!
The message in this piece can be summed up using just one word. Vulnerability. That's it, guys and gals.
Loving someone requires one being willing to risk being vulnerable. One figure in his performance is no longer willing to take that risk, again. He loved another, apparently very deeply, and was devastated upon realizing the love he longed for in return would never be realized. He was forced into either accepting something less, two out of three, or moving on. He moved on, but carried within himself the pain of having been vulnerable only to be rejected. Rejection is something many of us simply cannot effectively cope with - much less overcome. This person's coping mechanism was to never allow himself to risk vulnerability again. He moved on, and into other relationships conditioned with the protective blanket of invulnerability. Rather than being the one experiencing the pain, he becomes the person who attempts to console just as the one who hurt him attempted years earlier. The unfortunate reality is this is likely an affliction passed from one relationship onto other relationships. You hurt me. I, in return, hurt others using exactly the same processes that hurt me. That's how we are. How many of us are settling for two out of three in our relationships? How many of us are doing exactly what was once done to us? To fully love someone vulnerability is an absolute. Without it we either settle for less or we ask others to settle for less. Yep, it is all about vulnerability.
One of the best reactions I've tuned in on. I love Meatloaf and there's not many reactions that nailed it so well than you gals. â€
Meatloaf and Jim Steinman both now goneâŠone of the most brilliant musical teams in recording history. đą
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 Steinmanâs lyric but Meat Loaf.
The piano player in Jim Steiman who wrote all the songs
Meatloaf is a great performer and I enjoyed your reaction very much! But credit for the songwriting on all three of his songs you have reacted to, as well as many others, including all the songs on the Bat Out of Hell album are written by the late great Jim Steinman! Unfortunately we lost both Meatloaf and Steinman in the last year or two. Your next reactions should be to "Bat Out Of Hell" and "For Crying Out Loud"! One a rocker, the other a ballad, but both tremendous songs!! Continued success to the two of you!!
Just like the person who wrote before me the genius of Jim Steinman was behind all the songs top 5 album of all time
You ladies got it wrong, he is singing about the one woman that left him, heâs 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.
It doesn't get any better than this. And yet there's still to discover.. For Crying Out Loud.
I love me some "Meatloaf" also, especially with mashed potatoes & gravy & green beans on the side.
It would be amazing if you did the entire Bat Out Of Hell album!
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.
