    I've never encountered a song/music video that so nakedly confronts trauma from a male perspective. It's so emotional-- and not just about sex and relationships, which is rare. At 41, this songs hit differently. It's such a beautiful reflection in middle age on the experiences that shaped your character, both tragic and enthralling. God rest both Meat and Jim.

      They did make some amazing creations, but honestly I hope they don't get back together, Jim was always jealous of how aday was being better recognised for the songs than him. There is an interview clip, of the band, and the interveiwer asks aday "what sort of genre would you class your music?" Aday, trying to be respectful says "ah ask jim about our music" Jim cuts in "well I would class MY music as...." I get they should be getting equal credit for their music, but Jim was a complete dick, even though aday always gave him the credit for it. He took out his problems on the guy who was trying to help him.

      Meat Loaf is (or was; the last live performance I saw video off wasn't great) one of the greats, but so is Jim Steinman who wrote most of the iconic songs. Steinman recorded some of these himself, but he just doesn't have the voice to do them full justice. Still good, though.

    My best friend Mike saved me - the new, freckle-faced kid - from a life of solitude on the school playground in 1986. A few years later, they discovered his first brain tumor. He fought hard for 25 years. When I lost him in 2016, he had a wife, four kids and three Master’s degrees. He lived his life better than anyone I’ve ever known. And while he was a huge REM fan, this song makes me think about him and all of our good times. Rest easy, brother!

    This song has so much more meaning now that Meat is gone. It's like him reflecting on his life,he's young here,like it's him seeing his past and after going to the great beyond,a time traveler of sorts. I feel like this song and video after his passing is that much more powerful. This is his spirit,right here,young and happy,meloncholic but reflective and soon to be with his loved ones. Prophetic in a way. So long Meat,one of the greatest ever,be at peace and soon,we will all be objects in the rear view mirror...
