    2 out of 3 = :1. I want you. 2. I need you. 3. Aint no way Im ever gonna love you....but 2 out of 3 aint bad! Ultimately its a song about how we settle for people we dont love or dont love us because we want or need them. Powerful song.

      I never thought of it in terms of settling, but that's apt. Another nuance of it is by settling, the person you're settling with then falls in love with you and it perpetuates the cycle. Thus him remembering his love saying the same thing to him.

    This song starts off with him telling a girl that he could never love her. Next verse he's talking about the girl he loved in his past & she's the one who told him she could never love him. So basically I think this song is showing how past relationships can affect your future relationships. After he got so hurt in his past he's not able to love again. He put that guard up.
    That's what I always got from this song.

    Yeah, you nailed it, Lex. He says in the song that there was only one girl that he would ever love, and that was years ago. Those were the things she told him the night she left him. “Want you, need you, don’t love you. Two outta three ain’t bad.”
    So years later he finds himself in the position of saying the same thing to some poor heartbroken girl. Sad song, but great commentary on the ability and willingness that people have to use someone for as long as it might suit them.

    According to Jim Steinman, the writer of this song and the piano player in the background, here's the story of this song. He was with a woman (v2) that left him and had told him that she wanted him and needed him, but didn't love him and that's why she was leaving. They eventually got back together and she now loved him the way he always wanted her to, but his feelings for her had changed. Now, (v1) he's telling her the same thing. I want you and need you, but I don't love you. Now, he's the one leaving her. Crazy, but since hearing his story of the song, I've never listened to it the same way again. Anyway, just throwing that out there.

    If I recall, he is singing the song to the same girl throughout. At the beginning of the song, she has returned, expecting to find him still loving her. To the girl's dismay, "they can talk all night, but that ain't getting us nowhere" - she was cold to him for so long that he now cries icicles instead of tears (he doesn't love her anymore). She was the girl that he loved "so many years ago", but she kissed him and walked out of the door saying that she didn't love him. She didn't value the love that she now desires, but is too late.

    Marvin Lee Aday (Meat Loaf) was an incredible singer and I think I was a freshman in high school when his first record came out. He had a theatre background in plays and musicals. He was also in the Off-Broadway play and movie of Rocky Horror Picture Show. This is why he is so dramatic in his performances. While doing theatre he met Jim Steinman, and Jim is the person who wrote the lyrics and music for all of the Meat Loaf hits. You had two guys who were both epic talents connect and make brilliant music together. I love watching young people get turned on to great music from back in the day.

    Per Songfacts Jim Steinman, who was Meat Loaf's songwriter said he wrote a song about the elusive nature of love. The song begins with Meat Loaf getting kicked to the curb by his girl, presumably because he won't tell her he loves her. He makes the case that even though he will never love her, he's good enough, since after all he does want her and need her, and happy endings are only for fairy tales.
    We then learn that his commitment issues step from a previous relationship - one with the only woman he will ever love. She once left him with the same explanation: I want you, I need you, but I'll never love you.

    The late Meat Loaf (Marvin Lee Aday) had a background in musical theater. That's how he learned how to interpret a song and bring out all of the emotion written into it.

    I always felt this song was about not having the ability to love because of your past. It isn't that he doesn't want to love her just the girl from his past hurt him so much by doing the the same thing.

    My all time favorite Meat Loaf song.The song is telling the woman that their relationship can go only so far and if she can be happy with that then all is good.He saying he can only love once,and he has already did that,but his lover couldn't love him back and his unhappiness made her leave him.

    This album the songs kind of blend from one to another.
    Remember this was the day of "Albums"
    You sat down with the cover art, lyrics and listened to the whole thing.
    ...as a whole.

    "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" is a power ballad performed by the American musician Meat Loaf. It is a track off his 1977 album Bat Out of Hell

    I always interpreted the song that people are always looking for the perfect soul mate, but in reality, everyone has a flaw somewhere. And even then, that perfect person may have passed you by. So always be greatful for what you have, and never give up.

    Best Meatloaf tune ever. Impossible to listen to without singing it. There is a small prize at the bottom of every "Cracker Jack Box" which is a popcorn candy. A "Coup de Ville" is an expensive Cadillac car.

    Fond memories of this chart-topping song that first introduced me to the legend that is Meatloaf. This album dominated the charts that year and it seemed everyone and their dog had a Bat Out of Hell poster..... right next to their Farrah posters, of course. Still listen to the album till this day.

    I saw the Bat Out Of Hell tour and it was amazing. It was amazing. like an opera. This big overweight guy wants the girl and by the middle of the show you have forgotten his looks and you are just rooting for him to get the girl. He finally gets the girl and then years later feels trapped. It was a whole concept.

  • @marcjacobscontinued9411

    I don't know what I feel when I look at a person who hears this song for the first time while listening to it myself; It's kind of crazy and emotional.....
    I'm totally envying her. But I'm also aware of the fact that I've been listening to this song for over 45 years now, on quite a regular base I should add, and I can also envy myself for having had the spirit to buy the album within a week when it came out and falling in love with it and being able to listen to it for that long. Things often have two sides I guess, but thank you for letting me watch you having an experience I had as a boy but wasn't able to film alone in my room that day.....

  • @DevineMissMerlin

    I just freaking realized people take this song as a serious sentimental ballad. That's like taking Paradise by the Dashboard Lights as a coming-of-age love song.
    First time I heard this song was in maybe 91? I was 15 or 16, and I laughed my ass off. I mean, the song slowly builds all melancholic, but he doesn't want to leave... because it's snowing. He tells her she's a cold b--: "you been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles." Then he throws in an "ain't no way" to make sure you're listening and taking note that love ain't happening... And follows it up with two out of three ain't bad! I mean that's like saying, "hey girl, don't cry. You're batting average is nearly twice the best in the league." Like she cares! It's all tongue in cheek humor. He's basically saying "let me sleep on it" as an adult.

  • @richard_n
    @richard_n Před rokem +3

    The beginning of the song it sounds like he's the bad guy cause he says that he can't love her. The reason you find out later is that the girl he loved with all his heart early in his life didn't love him back and that made him incapable of love from then on. He recognizes that he needs her and wants her, but he knows that he is no longer able to love anyone because the memories hurt too much.

  • @AxeSwipe2011
    @AxeSwipe2011 Před rokem +2

    One thing you will find common in many of the Meatloaf\Steinman songs is angst. Whether it be teen angst, unrequited love angst or some other form of angst. It is almost always there. "Objects in the rearview mirror (May be closer than they appear)" is another great ballad of angst (but not the reason you may think) worth checking out.

    My favorite Meatloaf song- Tables were turned here- he was told the same thing many years ago (prior) by the only girl he ever loved that hurt him..then down the road he has another girl and feels the same towards her that his previous only love felt/said to him-

    He is telling her that he wants and needs her but dosen't love her because the girl he loves said the same thing to him years ago. Which means her love told her that which means someone told him that etc,etc, etc. Come on guys I figured this out when I was 12. It's the vicious cycle of relationships, heartaches and acceptance.

    • @rsw1227
      @rsw1227 Před rokem

      It really amazes me how they can't follow a song being laid out as it goes.
      They still missed the part about "him" being told the same thing.
      I wonder how they watch movies and TV.
      They must get lost and confused a lot. I picture them to stop watching before the ending because they are lost. Then say it was awful.

    I think this song is about the one great love we all have. That love like no other that always stays in our hearts. Even when we are with someone else, we can want them and need them, but we'll never love them...not like we loved our great love at least.

  • @chrisgrandstaff2931
    @chrisgrandstaff2931 Před rokem

    There were two women in the song the one that meatloaf was talking to in the very beginning and then it says there is one woman he would ever love and it was many years ago. He started off by telling the woman he was with at the moment that he wanted her he needed her but he's never going to love her & that's the two out of three and then he said later in the song there's only one on that he'd ever loved and so many years ago and she used the exact same line on him of how she wanted him she needed him but there ain't no way she was ever going to love him. Now if you think about that a little bit it'll really tear at the old heartstrings. Just like all the songs in one way or another he was a super super talented artist and performer

  • @charlesstraight5499
    @charlesstraight5499 Před rokem

    The girl that stung his heart so bad and made him cry icicles instead of Tears turned him into the guy who couldn't love any others so I guess that's where the two out of three ain't bad comes from. It seems like it's the age-old story about unrequited love and how it turns you into the same type of person where all you can give to some other person is the same unrequited love that you got.

But if you haven’t you need to do “For Crying out Loud”, “Good Girls go to Heaven”, “For Crying out Loud” and “Lost Boys and Golden Girls”I could literally go on and on with amazing Meat Loaf songs…rad reaction though guys

    A Meat Loaf power ballad with a little rock for Brad is "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)". It's a long song btw the answer to (But I Won't Do That) is at the end of the song when the female singer puts a few statements out.

    I believe the woman he's singing to at the beginning IS the woman that left him yrs ago and came back trying to regain what she walked away from ... He says "you've been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears" This is his way I won't be hurt again. like at the beginning it is almost like payback or What she did coming back to haunt her. He's repeating her words from yrs ago to her now.

    Beautiful but heart wrenching song about how unrequited love can destroy your soul and shut you off from ever feeling love again. He wants her, he needs her, but there's no way that he can ever love her because the one girl that he loved years ago told him the same thing. He closed off his heart after that.

  • @jpbliss1
    @jpbliss1 Před rokem

    I've known many people who held out for "three out of three." The lucky ones found it, but many wound up single for the long term. I've also known many who found a way to fall in love even though all they had at first was "two out of three." Love is complicated.
