Meatloaf an amazing theatrical performer began his career in the 60s his successful vocal and musical talents earned him the number 3 most sold album of all time. Meatloaf helped define an era. ♥️
Meatloaf was a character for sure. Everything he did was a huge theatrical performance. (Try "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights). RIP Meatloaf. He passed at 74.
Fun bit of trivia: Dana Patrick, the actress playing the Beauty in this video, received multiple offers for record deals after the video aired. Unfortunately, she had to turn the offers down because she did not sing a single note. The female vocals in the song were actually sung by Lorraine Crosby, but Patrick lipsank them so convincingly that even some music industry insiders just assumed that she had sung them.
Bruh, i been looking thru comments for a week to figure out who sung the female vocals, so thank u. Also, idc is the actress wasn't singing, she is absolutely gorgeous!!
Is it just me or does Dana Patrick look super ethnically ambiguous throughout the video? She did a great job but Lorraine Crosby's vocals stole the show. Kinda upset she didn't become a permanent member Meatloaf's band.
Omg that song brings me back. As a kid this came on mtv back when they played music videos. It was my favorite because it was like a small action/love movie. ❤️ thanks for watching this! 143
Meatloaf and writer Jim Steinman [who died last year] were musical legends…and their songs are almost impossible to confuse their work with others. They tend to be complex songs/stories…so don’t be surprised if you find some confusing…due to being a non-native English speaker and also different generation. Their works are amazing.
This song came out for the Dracula movie. The one with Keanu Reeves, Gary Oldman, and Anthony Hopkins. The women were the same women that played Dracula's concubines. Monica Bellucci was one of them. That was 1992. She also played Persephone in the Marix Movies. So it's a bit of Dracula, as referenced in the beginning quote, a little bit of beauty and the beast, and a bit of the magic that was Meat Loaf's voice. Great song.
Meat Loaf 27/9/1947 -- 20/1/2022 ... RIP ♥ Jim Steinman 1/11/1947 -- 19/4/2021 ... RIP ♥ Steinman wrote the majority of Meat Loaf's songs / lyrics ... 'Bat Out of Hell' (1977) is still one of the best selling albums ever. Two amazing talents lost within 12 months ... thanks for acknowledging them with your video
I’ve heard this song so many times and I can’t believe I never seen that music video. 7:38 “excuse me” you’re great at these reactions Irina. Sometimes you’re funny without even knowing it.
I've heard this song many times but I have never seen the music video before. I liked the video for this song, it has a great story and was well produced. Also, Irina I loved you're reaction to the part with all of the women showing up in the bed! "Excuse me" 🤣🤣🤣
Meatloaf was his stage name. He was born Michael Lee Aday in Dallas, Texas in 1947. The scene with the other women in the bed was taken from Francis Ford Coppola's movie "Dracula" with Gary Oldman. He had a small part in the 1975 movie "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and released a album in 1977 title "Bat Out of Hell" which sold millions of copies worldwide.
The 3 women in the bed are originally from the book Bram Stoker's Dracula -- the three ghost/siren women attempting to drink/steal Johnathon's blood. Francis Ford Coppula's Dracula is one of the best/most accurate interpretations of the book. Interestingly, the MOST accurate interpretation of Bram Stoker's Dracula is the comedy: "Dracula, Dead and Loving it," by Mel Brooks with Leslie Nelson. They included many parts of the book never put on film, like Renfield's eating of the "tiny souls" in his cell.
When I was a kid, my uncle Regis was in an Atlantic city casino that was practically empty. With a whole row of slot machines open, this guy sits right beside him and says "hi, I'm Meatloaf" uncle Rege stands up all mad and says "yeah, and I'm porkchop." 🤣
1) Can confirm. The story of the video is indeed based on Beauty and the Beast. Meat Loaf has been a literal lifelong favorite of mine. I grew up on his music. My ex-fiance and I used to duet sing Paradise by the Dashboard Light on karaoke nights. It hurts that I never got to see him in concert. I highly suggest checking out that song. 2) Your Bills gave my Chiefs fan self about a dozen heart attacks tonight.
Thank you. Very nice of you. RIP Meatloaf. In 1983 I met him. In a hotel that he was staying in. Just like everybody said….He was so very kind. I embarrassingly introduced myself while he was at the elevator and I rode up with him. I said I don’t wanna bother you because I know it gets old when people constantly talk to somebody when they just want some privacy. He said no not at all. I told him I was familiar with several of his albums from high school and I enjoyed them. This was before Covid. Lol. I shook his hand and said good night. We had two minutes of conversation and he was really really nice.
But I’ll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life, no way And I would do anything for love Oh I would do anything for love Oh I would do anything for love But I won’t do that, no I won’t do that Meatloaf clarified the lyrics arrangement, he would do anything for love, "but I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life" . I never quite understood that until I read an article where he explained it, makes perfect sense.
He was great! I cried today watching his great performances. I saw him in Scranton in the 90’s. You should definitely watch “Paradise by the dashboard light” live performance!
Hello again and Happy 2022 to one of my favorite Russians. Meat Loaf was his nickname growing up. He had a strange name and strange look, but he was a star. He will be missed by many. He was so talented and performed in many different types of performances. Thank you for honoring him.
The confusion, he said, comes from the way those lyrics are arranged. Written by Meat Loaf’s longtime songwriter Jim Steinman, the song tells the story of a man professing his love for a woman and assuring her he’d “run right into hell and back” for love, among other things. During the course of the song, he also makes several promises. For instance, the man says: But I’ll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life, no way And I would do anything for love Oh I would do anything for love Oh I would do anything for love But I won’t do that, no I won’t do that “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That] The thing he won’t do, Meat Loaf said, is spelled out in the line before the chorus kicks in. In the lyrics above, for example, he’s saying he would do anything for love, but he won’t ever “stop dreaming of you every night of [his] life.” “It’s the line before every chorus,” Meat Loaf explained to the “Storytellers” audience, albeit with the help of a blackboard. In fact, four such promises are made during the course of the song, each time before a chorus kicks in. In addition to saying he’ll “never stop dreaming of you,” the singer also says he’ll “never forget the way you feel right now,” “never forgive myself if we don’t go all the way,” and “never do it better than I do it with you.” And those, according to Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman, are the things he won’t do.
Thank you for this explanation. The problem with the lyric, and why it’s misunderstood, is that “I won’t do that” is separated from what he won’t do by three professions of what he would do for love (anything), which tends to make you forget the first part, and assume that it was referring to something *that he wouldn’t do for love*, by counterpoint, when in fact it was, in each case, referring to what was said three sentences previously.
"I don't believe in bad people, I believe in people who need more love in their life." Hearing you say this beautiful words would have made Meatloaf smile. He was an incredibly passionate and caring person. It certainly warned my heart to hear you say that.
The man is a legend a genius I love all of his live performances they have so much energy so much passion funniest music videos also tell such an amazing story like this one Beauty and the Beast
If you ever watch Celine Dion “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” or Bonnie Tyler “Total Eclipse of the Heart” official videos you will notice they have similar feel…but that is because Jim Steinman…Meat Loaf’s writing/music partner wrote them…initially with Meat Loaf in mind.
Awesome Irena! I grew up listening to him. His Bat Out of Hell album is in the top 10 greatest of all time. He was also a great actor and has been in over 65 movies. Fight club being one of them.
WOW beautiful Russian girl reacting to and amazingly beautiful song One thing we must keep in mind- the videos don't always perfectly, accurately , and literally portray the songs MOVING MOVING MOVING SONG THANK YOU , RUSSIAN BEAUTY ♥️♥️♥️♥️
He's one of my favorite performer and one of the best singer of all time. Thank you for featuring him on your channel. By the way I've just subscribed to your channel. I hope that you can react also on his live performance of this song. I'm pretty sure you'll gonna love it too. Thanks and God Bless 💖
The model/actress in the video at 9:12 actually didn’t sing it…and the “studio” singer who did was “uncredited” - amazing voice. Lorraine Crosby…a very talented UK singer.
This video was directed by a very young Jerry Bruckheimer, Armagedaon director. Beauty and The Beast. And the song was written for the Film Brahm Stockers Dracula by Francis Ford Coppela. Hence the montage of the brides around the bed .. he would do anything for love, He would not lie to her .............. oh this was back when music videos were pretty much mini movies. Cheers.
love this song, my favorite meatloaf song, then the next is I'd lie for you and that's the truth, and rock and rolls dreams come through. I also have to say, your eyes! wow!
❤❤❤ Michael Aday,"Meatloaf," was an part time movie/tv actor and full-time theatrical stage performer. His concerts were like plays. He gave you 100% emotionally. There may not have been as much make-upbut you still got the story. I think the oldest thing I remember him from was THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. His "Paraduse by the Dashboard Lights" from "BAT OUT OF HELL," was his first musical story. The album had several hits. Bunches of albums since along with, decades of work.
Dammit I didn't get finished. Let's recap, hearts, theatrical/movie guy. Rocky horror, Paradise, BAT, more bats, lots of stuff. Hug Montana, now I'm done
I love this song "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" Meat Loaf looks and sounds so fragile his performance touches the soul, he's one of a kind, one in a million, master of rock opera. He left us too soon but he leaves an invaluable legacy in music... Rest in peace dear Meat Loaf.
RIP to the great meatloaf, a true stage troubadour! Also a good actor, I think I last saw him in fight club. His album, bat out of hell, has never been out of the top 200 for over 40 years! Then his 2 follow up albums, back in to hell, then out, the beast is loose! Have proly sold over 200 mil copies! He got famous from the movie, Rocky Horror, u should watch! When casting the movie, the producers directors brought in all the top singers, no one could handle all the high notes with power and breath control. By chance, he wanders into the audition. They tell him the problems they are having. He listens to the main song a couple times, then tells the director, hit the lights hit the playback, ACTION! Then belts out the song perfectly! Looks at the director and says, so what's the problem? The baseball announcer is Phil Rizutto. He listened to the blank space outro space, twice. Then addlibbed his part twice, nailed it on the next attempt! His song on the next album, I'll never do that, a classic! But really listen to this whole album, it's all about one guy's life, from teens to middle aged! Oddly enough meatloaf always said, he wasn't a singer, that he was a stage actor who sometimes could sing a part for the character perfectly!!! Amazing that the video anything for love, was shot in 4 days by the great MICHAEL BAY,😮😮 music, sets, live action, make-up, everything! Can we marvel at his abilities to sing soft and breathy, yet still with volume, his clarity on every word, and his ability to turn up on off slow fast, his vibrato?
The bed scene is a recreation of the scene where Dracula's brides come out of the bed and attack Harker in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). This song came out about a year after that.
The part with the women coming out of the bed was copying a scene from "Bram Stoker's Dracula". The movie was a big hit about the same time this video was being made.
The Story behind I'd do anything for love was kind of a Beauty and the Beast Meat's character said he would do anything for Live cause he believed that Love would be the only thing that would save him and when the song says I'd do anything for love but I won't do that it means that he wod do anything for live but he won't leave her he won't Cheat on her or anything like that he wants to live her forever 😁👍
At the end, she knows he will live long after her and that he'll forget her, but he vows he won't do that and no one seems to notice that his face and hands are human now because of love. Beauty and the Beast vibe. And I will ALWAYS believe that the voice behind the actress is TINA TURNER!
Even the 'beauty' was insecure and questioned this 'beast'. Very important to interpretation of the lyrics. I love your reaction and am now a subscriber; soooo looking forward to more of your reactions. Thank you 🙂

0:25 Meatloaf is a roll, or a bar, made of beef, and it is served in slices with different toppings and sauces. The artist took this name as his stage name.
This song is really one of three songs telling their story the other two parts are; I'd Lie For You (And That's The Truth); ua-cam.com/video/jvv4CggLXrQ/v-deo.html If This Is The Last Kiss; ua-cam.com/video/t5he42PIdkg/v-deo.html
This storyline also correlates with "The Phantom of the Opera". He actually recorded several different versions of this song, including a nearly twelve minute version. Additionally he was an accomplished actor.😊✌
I only picked up beauty and the beast and Dracula (his brides). The original phantom of the opera and beauty and the beast were both French tales though.
I've been a Meat Loaf since I was eight years old. I was devastated to hear the news of his passing. My favourite Meat Loaf song is For Crying Out Loud which is an epic rock love ballad
Let me explain what you may have missed in translation... Meat Loaf's blockbuster hit I'd Do Anything For Love has left a mystery hanging for nearly 30 years - what won't he do? The rock legend - who died at age 74 on Jan. 20, 2022 - said it was the question he was most often asked by his army of fans around the world. ‘I would do anything for love (but I won’t do THAT) is a timeless hymn. It was written by Jim Steinman and sung and performed by lyrical rock legend Meat Loaf. The song also includes guest vocals from Lorraine Crosby. Here is a song that fuses the best of all worlds. The powerful writing, the memorable hooks, the epic musicality. A ballad in the true spirit of the greatness of progressive rock. The clip is one of the biggest ever. It shows a modern narration of Beauty and the Beast. In fact, the video is based on Beauty and the Beast and The Phantom of the Opera. Meat Loaf himself thought the real meaning was clear to anyone who listened to the whole song. But it has not stopped fans speculating for decades on the enigma behind one of the most famous lyrics in pop history. The story begins with the opening credits saying: "I have traveled across the universe through the years to find her. Sometimes going all the way is just a start." We then see "The Beast" character - a deformed man portrayed by Meat Loaf, on a motorbike being chased by police officers and a helicopter. As the chase continues into the night, the Beast passes into a graveyard and into what appears to be a very ornate mausoleum, hiding from his pursuers. He mournfully examines his deformed hands and features. As the officers enter and examine the mausoleum, he crashes through the wall with his motorbike and accidentally knocks down a police officer (whose shotgun goes off): this causes one of the chandeliers on the ceiling to fall and kill the officer. The lyrics begin with a frank statement; “And I would do anything for love.” It comes from the heart. To touch the most naked soul. Powerfully romantic and living in its promise. The protagonist says there is nothing he wouldn’t do for love. He would run into Hell and back and lie even for his one true love. In desperation, the Beast flees into the nearby woods where he comes across a beautiful woman bathing/cooling herself by a fountain. The woman appears to be in sunny daylight, while the rest of the woods and castle clearly show that it is nighttime. The woman looks into a mirror and glimpses the Beast watching her. She turns and he flees leaving only an amulet hanging on a branch. The woman picks it up and pursues him. As she approaches the castle, the Beast is watching her movements through the reflection of his drink. As she comes into the castle, the Beast hurriedly removes himself. The woman sits in his chair and rests by the fire. The Beast watches her from his hall of mirrors and contemplates approaching her but is ashamed of his appearance. She later is seen having a bath, interspersed with the police officers finding the dead officer's body and preparing to raid the castle. She is later seen trying to sleep while being seduced by three vampy women, while the Beast sits in a chair (a reference to Dracula and the Brides). The Beast leaves the room and, seeing his reflection, begins to smash up the mirrors. The woman, hearing the noise, comes out and follows him into a presumable living room. The Beast observes her from above and levitates the chair she is sitting on. The Beast, then hearing the officers are near, moves away, and pulls the chair back down, breaking a lamp. The two run away and the woman removes the Beast's hood so she can look at him clearly. She accepts him and caresses his face while they embrace. As they pull away, the Beast is returned to his human form, and the two disappear just before the police catch them. The woman and the transformed Beast finally ride off into the sunrise on his motorbike. So, "THAT" is the magical question. The full album version - which runs to an epic 12 minutes - contains a series of examples of things the singer won't do. They include: "forget the way you feel right now" "forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight" "do it better than I do it with you" "stop dreaming of you every night of my life" Towards the end, the song turns into a duet with the woman (Dana Patrick is the actress & Lorraine Crosby is not seen but is singing the part) of his dreams, who predicts a number of things he will do. For example, she sings: "You'll see that it's time to move on", and "You'll be screwing around." Each time, Meat Loaf croons back: "I won't do that!" It's very much like out of the world of Camelot, Excalibur, King Arthur, and the noble knights of the round table. It's like Sir Lancelot, very noble and chivalrous. He also professes that there are things he wouldn’t do that would shame or demoralize her, as he loves her far beyond those things that may seem important at first glance. It's a love story, an epic saga actually. And one that only Meat Loaf could pull off and make it work beautifully! ******************************** Keep up your great reactions!
You wanna know about Meat Loaf? The eight-minute music video for this is a *cut-down* version. The album version of this song is TWELVE MINUTES LONG. AND IT'S AWESOME.
This song came out around the yime of Francis Ford Coppala’s Dracula. You see some of the elements of the three brides in the bed scene and the monster not wanting to condemn her to his existence; but her responding love humanizes him and she joins him willingly. That piano at the beginning gives off some John Carpenter Halloween horror vibes. Meatloaf ALWAYS delivered as an actor and his ego wasn’t too large to not let someone ekse take the more heroic role when it suited the story, such as in that more Indiana Jones like video, “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now”.
Можно сделать одно небольшое замечание на обзор? Вы комментировали клип и историю,которая в нем разворачивается 99% времени. В будущих обзорах можно узнать ваше мнение по поводу НЕ клипа,а вокала исполнителя? Все же он имеет огромную роль в реакции на песню. Спасибо.
Firstly, RIP Meatloaf (Michael Lee Aday). He was loved by many of his fans. I grew up cherishing his music. "Two out of Three Ain't Bad", "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth", "Heaven Can Wait", "All Revved Up with No Place to Go" are some of his classic hits. I loved your reaction to this song and you're looking lovely in the video!🤗😊 Will you be reacting to more music in future videos? If so, I would recommend Cathy Dennis "C'mon and Get My Love" (1989)❤️🌸
This video "objects in the rear view mirror and "rock n roll dreams come through" was actually directed by Michael bay who later made the transformers movies
Meatloaf is well before your time. The song is a beauty and the beast, and also...there is a line that is just not crossed when it comes to love. Should check out more of his songs.
Hello,Irina. Just another small detail about the music video. The reason it's so detailed & looks like a movie is that non other than Micheal Bay directed it. Hope you enjoy that fact.
You have to look at both albums "Bat out of hell" and "Bat out of he'll II: Back into hell" as a rock opera that ties the 2 albums together where the 1st album deals with young love which focuses on physical love and the newness experienced at a young age where physical love is more important and craved in youth. Whereas the 2nd album deals more with mature true love where it's obvious the couple has been through some very tough times together and their love has come out stronger. Life long commitment is emphasized and life long love surpasses. I recommend listening to both albums, there is a reason Meat Loaf went a couple of decades in-between the making of these 2 albums.
I've followed meat loaf since bat came out when I was 7... We also lost Jim steinman last year, the writer, when Jim and meat wrote together... It was always pure magic. I was lucky enough to have seen meat live seven times over the years... You have have HAVE ... To react to for crying out loud!!! And objects in the rear view mirror.. And in honour of his...and Jim's... Passing, ... Heaven can wait... Love you meat and Jim Btw.... Bat out of hell was written as part of the soundtrack to a musical of Jim's called Neverland... A futuristic Peter Pan set in a city of chrome bat, bat 2 and dead ringer albums were meant as a trilogy. Btw... After a number of years of back problems and operations for it... Meat did a mini show on a us TV show in Nov (look up meat loaf legacy..it's here on UA-cam)... And had 4 new songs ready...and was going back into the studio to make a comeback album... In January Rest in peace meat and Jim
You influenced an entire country Meat - Bat out of Hell still holds the record for highest selling album in Australia - 1.75m albums when the population of Australia was only 14m in 1977 - crazy!!!
Meatloaf an amazing theatrical performer began his career in the 60s his successful vocal and musical talents earned him the number 3 most sold album of all time. Meatloaf helped define an era. ♥️
There went another part of my youth!🦇🔥😭😭
Meatloaf was a character for sure. Everything he did was a huge theatrical performance. (Try "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights).
RIP Meatloaf. He passed at 74.

Fwiw I wouldn't remotely consider "ability to sing" as a hindrance to marrying her.

One of Meat Loaf 's great songs is "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad."
Yes and also it's all coming back to me
Yes fucken oath......from Darwin NT Australia beer o'clock
His best I think, guys. RIP Meat Loaf.
He is a legend. RIP. Glad you’re checking him out.

They tend to be complex songs/stories…so don’t be surprised if you find some confusing…due to being a non-native English speaker and also different generation.
Their works are amazing.
I'm upset that Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf didn't live long enough to collaborate with Alan Menken.
This song came out for the Dracula movie. The one with Keanu Reeves, Gary Oldman, and Anthony Hopkins. The women were the same women that played Dracula's concubines. Monica Bellucci was one of them.

First time seeing one of your reactions,loved it and also loved the comments you made.Keep up the great work and stay safe and well.Love from N.Z.
Meat Loaf 27/9/1947 -- 20/1/2022 ... RIP ♥
Jim Steinman 1/11/1947 -- 19/4/2021 ... RIP ♥
Steinman wrote the majority of Meat Loaf's songs / lyrics ... 'Bat Out of Hell' (1977) is still one of the best selling albums ever.
Two amazing talents lost within 12 months ... thanks for acknowledging them with your video
So sad he's gone. RIP. 😢❤✌🏼
I’ve heard this song so many times and I can’t believe I never seen that music video. 7:38 “excuse me” you’re great at these reactions Irina. Sometimes you’re funny without even knowing it.
Yeah I mentioned the same thing Shawn. The "excuse me" part was hilarious, it still makes me laugh!
I've heard this song many times but I have never seen the music video before. I liked the video for this song, it has a great story and was well produced. Also, Irina I loved you're reaction to the part with all of the women showing up in the bed! "Excuse me" 🤣🤣🤣
thank michael bay for that as he produced the video and want the chase scene in it.

Minor thing, he was born Marvin Lee Aday. Per Meatloaf, in 1984, he legally changed his 1st name to Michael.
@@wnsafford1854 Thank you. I realized my mistakes right after I posted. Hell of a musician.

Meat Loaf, the King of Rock Ballads
"His name was Robert Paulson." Meatloaf was Bob in the movieFight Club.
When I was a kid, my uncle Regis was in an Atlantic city casino that was practically empty. With a whole row of slot machines open, this guy sits right beside him and says "hi, I'm Meatloaf" uncle Rege stands up all mad and says "yeah, and I'm porkchop." 🤣
It’s my understanding we are not supposed to talk about fight club.
We all break the rules, Sir.
i was alive for the introduction of this song it was a brilliant example of the "rock opera " genre think THE WHO, QUEEN.... etc
Wagnerian Rock is how Steinman described his music.
@@Brirend did he wear horns ?
Beautiful 80's song
1) Can confirm. The story of the video is indeed based on Beauty and the Beast. Meat Loaf has been a literal lifelong favorite of mine. I grew up on his music. My ex-fiance and I used to duet sing Paradise by the Dashboard Light on karaoke nights. It hurts that I never got to see him in concert. I highly suggest checking out that song.

Thank you. Very nice of you. RIP Meatloaf. In 1983 I met him. In a hotel that he was staying in. Just like everybody said….He was so very kind. I embarrassingly introduced myself while he was at the elevator and I rode up with him. I said I don’t wanna bother you because I know it gets old when people constantly talk to somebody when they just want some privacy. He said no not at all. I told him I was familiar with several of his albums from high school and I enjoyed them. This was before Covid. Lol. I shook his hand and said good night. We had two minutes of conversation and he was really really nice.
You more than most should relate to this because you are also an artist. Meat Loaf was an actor, but the ticket sales plummeted... So, he improvised
But I’ll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life, no way
And I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
But I won’t do that, no I won’t do that
Meatloaf clarified the lyrics arrangement, he would do anything for love, "but I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life" . I never quite understood that until I read an article where he explained it, makes perfect sense.
He was great! I cried today watching his great performances. I saw him in Scranton in the 90’s. You should definitely watch “Paradise by the dashboard light” live performance!
I would definitely second "Paradise by the dashboard light"! It was a great song!
@@mattduso3450 Yes, also a great live performance!
Hello again and Happy 2022 to one of my favorite Russians. Meat Loaf was his nickname growing up. He had a strange name and strange look, but he was a star. He will be missed by many. He was so talented and performed in many different types of performances. Thank you for honoring him.
It’s a retelling of ‘beauty and the beast’ in his unique way. Such a showman, he’ll be forever missed. 😔
The confusion, he said, comes from the way those lyrics are arranged.

The thing he won’t do, Meat Loaf said, is spelled out in the line before the chorus kicks in. In the lyrics above, for example, he’s saying he would do anything for love, but he won’t ever “stop dreaming of you every night of [his] life.”
“It’s the line before every chorus,” Meat Loaf explained to the “Storytellers” audience, albeit with the help of a blackboard.
In fact, four such promises are made during the course of the song, each time before a chorus kicks in. In addition to saying he’ll “never stop dreaming of you,” the singer also says he’ll “never forget the way you feel right now,” “never forgive myself if we don’t go all the way,” and “never do it better than I do it with you.”
And those, according to Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman, are the things he won’t do.
Thank you for this explanation. The problem with the lyric, and why it’s misunderstood, is that “I won’t do that” is separated from what he won’t do by three professions of what he would do for love (anything), which tends to make you forget the first part, and assume that it was referring to something *that he wouldn’t do for love*, by counterpoint, when in fact it was, in each case, referring to what was said three sentences previously.
@@langdalepaul uhhhhhh...sure.
"I don't believe in bad people, I believe in people who need more love in their life."
Hearing you say this beautiful words would have made Meatloaf smile. He was an incredibly passionate and caring person. It certainly warned my heart to hear you say that.
Thank you for checking him out. Listening to Meatloaf's music is a little like therapy and mourning all at the same time.
Very well said, Cindy.
The man is a legend a genius I love all of his live performances they have so much energy so much passion funniest music videos also tell such an amazing story like this one Beauty and the Beast
Happy Sunday:) Love you Irina and Montana:)
It's impossible to hear Meatloaf and not love Meatloaf. He sang with so much soul and emotion you are just left stunned.
If you ever watch Celine Dion “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” or Bonnie Tyler “Total Eclipse of the Heart” official videos you will notice they have similar feel…but that is because Jim Steinman…Meat Loaf’s writing/music partner wrote them…initially with Meat Loaf in mind.
Awesome Irena! I grew up listening to him. His Bat Out of Hell album is in the top 10 greatest of all time. He was also a great actor and has been in over 65 movies. Fight club being one of them.
WOW
beautiful Russian girl reacting to and amazingly beautiful song
One thing we must keep in mind- the videos don't always perfectly, accurately , and literally portray the songs
MOVING MOVING MOVING SONG
THANK YOU , RUSSIAN BEAUTY
♥️♥️♥️♥️
He's one of my favorite performer and one of the best singer of all time. Thank you for featuring him on your channel. By the way I've just subscribed to your channel. I hope that you can react also on his live performance of this song. I'm pretty sure you'll gonna love it too. Thanks and God Bless 💖
The model/actress in the video at 9:12 actually didn’t sing it…and the “studio” singer who did was “uncredited” - amazing voice. Lorraine Crosby…a very talented UK singer.
She was credited as her alias, "Mrs. Loud"
@@jaredalbrecht6154 Loraine Crosby, was simply fantastic…her voice perfectly complimented Meat Loaf’s…very similar vocal qualities and techniques.
This video was directed by a very young Jerry Bruckheimer, Armagedaon director. Beauty and The Beast. And the song was written for the Film Brahm Stockers Dracula by Francis Ford Coppela. Hence the montage of the brides around the bed .. he would do anything for love, He would not lie to her .............. oh this was back when music videos were pretty much mini movies. Cheers.
Imagine just hearing this for the first time with someone u love years ago. .. I did!!! Luv for ever
Paradise by the dashboard light.
love this song, my favorite meatloaf song, then the next is I'd lie for you and that's the truth, and rock and rolls dreams come through. I also have to say, your eyes! wow!
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
❤❤❤ Michael Aday,"Meatloaf," was an part time movie/tv actor and full-time theatrical stage performer. His concerts were like plays. He gave you 100% emotionally. There may not have been as much make-upbut you still got the story. I think the oldest thing I remember him from was THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. His "Paraduse by the Dashboard Lights" from "BAT OUT OF HELL," was his first musical story. The album had several hits. Bunches of albums since along with, decades of work.
Dammit I didn't get finished. Let's recap, hearts, theatrical/movie guy. Rocky horror, Paradise, BAT, more bats, lots of stuff. Hug Montana, now I'm done
The beautiful thing is that we have many performances on video and can enjoy him forever. Rest calm and in peace Meatloaf
You are priceless!! Thank you for your reaction. Great job!!!
I love this song "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" Meat Loaf looks and sounds so fragile his performance touches the soul, he's one of a kind, one in a million, master of rock opera.
He left us too soon but he leaves an invaluable legacy in music... Rest in peace dear Meat Loaf.
RIP to the great meatloaf, a true stage troubadour! Also a good actor, I think I last saw him in fight club. His album, bat out of hell, has never been out of the top 200 for over 40 years! Then his 2 follow up albums, back in to hell, then out, the beast is loose! Have proly sold over 200 mil copies! He got famous from the movie, Rocky Horror, u should watch! When casting the movie, the producers directors brought in all the top singers, no one could handle all the high notes with power and breath control. By chance, he wanders into the audition. They tell him the problems they are having. He listens to the main song a couple times, then tells the director, hit the lights hit the playback, ACTION! Then belts out the song perfectly! Looks at the director and says, so what's the problem? The baseball announcer is Phil Rizutto. He listened to the blank space outro space, twice. Then addlibbed his part twice, nailed it on the next attempt! His song on the next album, I'll never do that, a classic! But really listen to this whole album, it's all about one guy's life, from teens to middle aged! Oddly enough meatloaf always said, he wasn't a singer, that he was a stage actor who sometimes could sing a part for the character perfectly!!! Amazing that the video anything for love, was shot in 4 days by the great MICHAEL BAY,😮😮 music, sets, live action, make-up, everything! Can we marvel at his abilities to sing soft and breathy, yet still with volume, his clarity on every word, and his ability to turn up on off slow fast, his vibrato?
My favourite
The bed scene is a recreation of the scene where Dracula's brides come out of the bed and attack Harker in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). This song came out about a year after that.
the 3 woman appear as she lay in the bed is from dracula by bram stoker !
Exactly
You looking more and more Beautiful everyday! Thanks for your video reaction!
I love your pure and honest reaction
This is my fav Meatloaf song RIP
I love the way you say things and express yourself, awesome I love was your reactions, greetings from Houston Texas.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
The part with the women coming out of the bed was copying a scene from "Bram Stoker's Dracula". The movie was a big hit about the same time this video was being made.
The Story behind I'd do anything for love was kind of a Beauty and the Beast Meat's character said he would do anything for Live cause he believed that Love would be the only thing that would save him and when the song says I'd do anything for love but I won't do that it means that he wod do anything for live but he won't leave her he won't Cheat on her or anything like that he wants to live her forever 😁👍
At the end, she knows he will live long after her and that he'll forget her, but he vows he won't do that and no one seems to notice that his face and hands are human now because of love. Beauty and the Beast vibe. And I will ALWAYS believe that the voice behind the actress is TINA TURNER!
Her: “is it gonna do something scary?”
Meatloaf: “no I won’t do that”.
Perfectly timed
Even the 'beauty' was insecure and questioned this 'beast'. Very important to interpretation of the lyrics. I love your reaction and am now a subscriber; soooo looking forward to more of your reactions. Thank you 🙂
0:25 Meatloaf is a roll, or a bar, made of beef, and it is served in slices with different toppings and sauces. The artist took this name as his stage name.
This song is really one of three songs telling their story the other two parts are;
I'd Lie For You (And That's The Truth); ua-cam.com/video/jvv4CggLXrQ/v-deo.html
If This Is The Last Kiss; ua-cam.com/video/t5he42PIdkg/v-deo.html
Great reaction I had every song he did in my music library he will be missed
R.I.P., толстяк. Эта песня на все времена.
This storyline also correlates with "The Phantom of the Opera". He actually recorded several different versions of this song, including a nearly twelve minute version. Additionally he was an accomplished actor.😊✌
I only picked up beauty and the beast and Dracula (his brides). The original phantom of the opera and beauty and the beast were both French tales though.
Thanks for doing this..... enjoyed that. PS. Given your 10:20 comment, 🙂I wish I would have known more women like you when I was younger.
I've been a Meat Loaf since I was eight years old. I was devastated to hear the news of his passing. My favourite Meat Loaf song is For Crying Out Loud which is an epic rock love ballad
'Paradise by the dashboard lights' is probably his most famous song.
RIP....LOVED YOUR MUSIC
I never heard about him BUt this music I have. It's a classic. Once you listen you'll never forget it
Let me explain what you may have missed in translation...
Meat Loaf's blockbuster hit I'd Do Anything For Love has left a mystery hanging for nearly 30 years - what won't he do?
The rock legend - who died at age 74 on Jan. 20, 2022 - said it was the question he was most often asked by his army of fans around the world. ‘I would do anything for love (but I won’t do THAT) is a timeless hymn. It was written by Jim Steinman and sung and performed by lyrical rock legend Meat Loaf. The song also includes guest vocals from Lorraine Crosby. Here is a song that fuses the best of all worlds. The powerful writing, the memorable hooks, the epic musicality. A ballad in the true spirit of the greatness of progressive rock. The clip is one of the biggest ever. It shows a modern narration of Beauty and the Beast. In fact, the video is based on Beauty and the Beast and The Phantom of the Opera.
Meat Loaf himself thought the real meaning was clear to anyone who listened to the whole song. But it has not stopped fans speculating for decades on the enigma behind one of the most famous lyrics in pop history.
The story begins with the opening credits saying: "I have traveled across the universe through the years to find her. Sometimes going all the way is just a start." We then see "The Beast" character - a deformed man portrayed by Meat Loaf, on a motorbike being chased by police officers and a helicopter. As the chase continues into the night, the Beast passes into a graveyard and into what appears to be a very ornate mausoleum, hiding from his pursuers. He mournfully examines his deformed hands and features. As the officers enter and examine the mausoleum, he crashes through the wall with his motorbike and accidentally knocks down a police officer (whose shotgun goes off): this causes one of the chandeliers on the ceiling to fall and kill the officer.
The lyrics begin with a frank statement; “And I would do anything for love.” It comes from the heart. To touch the most naked soul. Powerfully romantic and living in its promise. The protagonist says there is nothing he wouldn’t do for love. He would run into Hell and back and lie even for his one true love.
In desperation, the Beast flees into the nearby woods where he comes across a beautiful woman bathing/cooling herself by a fountain. The woman appears to be in sunny daylight, while the rest of the woods and castle clearly show that it is nighttime. The woman looks into a mirror and glimpses the Beast watching her. She turns and he flees leaving only an amulet hanging on a branch. The woman picks it up and pursues him.
As she approaches the castle, the Beast is watching her movements through the reflection of his drink. As she comes into the castle, the Beast hurriedly removes himself. The woman sits in his chair and rests by the fire. The Beast watches her from his hall of mirrors and contemplates approaching her but is ashamed of his appearance. She later is seen having a bath, interspersed with the police officers finding the dead officer's body and preparing to raid the castle. She is later seen trying to sleep while being seduced by three vampy women, while the Beast sits in a chair (a reference to Dracula and the Brides). The Beast leaves the room and, seeing his reflection, begins to smash up the mirrors. The woman, hearing the noise, comes out and follows him into a presumable living room. The Beast observes her from above and levitates the chair she is sitting on.
The Beast, then hearing the officers are near, moves away, and pulls the chair back down, breaking a lamp. The two run away and the woman removes the Beast's hood so she can look at him clearly. She accepts him and caresses his face while they embrace. As they pull away, the Beast is returned to his human form, and the two disappear just before the police catch them. The woman and the transformed Beast finally ride off into the sunrise on his motorbike.
So, "THAT" is the magical question.
The full album version - which runs to an epic 12 minutes - contains a series of examples of things the singer won't do. They include:
"forget the way you feel right now"
"forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight"
"do it better than I do it with you"
"stop dreaming of you every night of my life"
Towards the end, the song turns into a duet with the woman (Dana Patrick is the actress & Lorraine Crosby is not seen but is singing the part) of his dreams, who predicts a number of things he will do. For example, she sings: "You'll see that it's time to move on", and "You'll be screwing around."
Each time, Meat Loaf croons back: "I won't do that!"
It's very much like out of the world of Camelot, Excalibur, King Arthur, and the noble knights of the round table. It's like Sir Lancelot, very noble and chivalrous. He also professes that there are things he wouldn’t do that would shame or demoralize her, as he loves her far beyond those things that may seem important at first glance.
It's a love story, an epic saga actually. And one that only Meat Loaf could pull off and make it work beautifully!
********************************
Keep up your great reactions!
You wanna know about Meat Loaf? The eight-minute music video for this is a *cut-down* version.
The album version of this song is TWELVE MINUTES LONG. AND IT'S AWESOME.
This song came out around the yime of Francis Ford Coppala’s Dracula. You see some of the elements of the three brides in the bed scene and the monster not wanting to condemn her to his existence; but her responding love humanizes him and she joins him willingly. That piano at the beginning gives off some John Carpenter Halloween horror vibes. Meatloaf ALWAYS delivered as an actor and his ego wasn’t too large to not let someone ekse take the more heroic role when it suited the story, such as in that more Indiana Jones like video, “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now”.
And God bless Ukraine
ty for watching
Можно сделать одно небольшое замечание на обзор? Вы комментировали клип и историю,которая в нем разворачивается 99% времени. В будущих обзорах можно узнать ваше мнение по поводу НЕ клипа,а вокала исполнителя? Все же он имеет огромную роль в реакции на песню. Спасибо.
He was always a theatrical performer. This is a Beauty and the Beast type of interpretation from him
Firstly, RIP Meatloaf (Michael Lee Aday). He was loved by many of his fans. I grew up cherishing his music. "Two out of Three Ain't Bad", "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth", "Heaven Can Wait", "All Revved Up with No Place to Go" are some of his classic hits. I loved your reaction to this song and you're looking lovely in the video!🤗😊
Will you be reacting to more music in future videos? If so, I would recommend Cathy Dennis "C'mon and Get My Love" (1989)❤️🌸
Rest in peace Meatloaf! Great reaction! 🧡🧡
I've just realized that Irina never watched a vampire movie before 🤣🤣 its time to react to one.
RIP Marvin Lee Aday (Meat Loaf)
Micheal "Meat Loaf" Aday got his nickname from his high school football coach, because he was so tall and heavy-set
Some of my favorite memories growing up in the 90’s was listening to Meatloaf’s Bat Out of Hell 2 album mainly the song Wasted Youth
I love the story’s in meatloafs music. Loved this reaction
It was Meatloaf video of the classic story of beauty and the Beast he won a Grammy award he was really good if you can listen to Bat out of Hell RIP
Im 34 now. This is one of my favorite songs since i am 5 or so
This video "objects in the rear view mirror and "rock n roll dreams come through" was actually directed by Michael bay who later made the transformers movies
Those three girls in the bedroom scene were in Bram Stoker's Dracula. They reenacted the bedroom scene that was originally with Keanu Reeves.
I agree with you he's a very good singer
The scene on the bed is a scene taken from the novel Dracula , the rest of the video is based on Beauty and the Beast
Meatloaf is well before your time. The song is a beauty and the beast, and also...there is a line that is just not crossed when it comes to love. Should check out more of his songs.
Hello,Irina. Just another small detail about the music video. The reason it's so detailed & looks like a movie is that non other than Micheal Bay directed it. Hope you enjoy that fact.
Beauty and the beast, 90's tv show.
Meatloaf didn't make music videos....he made short films.
A música de Meat Loaf e Jim não tem defeito algum...ótimos para sempre.👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
You have to look at both albums "Bat out of hell" and "Bat out of he'll II: Back into hell" as a rock opera that ties the 2 albums together where the 1st album deals with young love which focuses on physical love and the newness experienced at a young age where physical love is more important and craved in youth. Whereas the 2nd album deals more with mature true love where it's obvious the couple has been through some very tough times together and their love has come out stronger. Life long commitment is emphasized and life long love surpasses. I recommend listening to both albums, there is a reason Meat Loaf went a couple of decades in-between the making of these 2 albums.
Beautiful song❤❤❤
I've followed meat loaf since bat came out when I was 7... We also lost Jim steinman last year, the writer, when Jim and meat wrote together... It was always pure magic. I was lucky enough to have seen meat live seven times over the years... You have have HAVE ... To react to for crying out loud!!! And objects in the rear view mirror..
And in honour of his...and Jim's... Passing, ... Heaven can wait...
Love you meat and Jim
Btw.... Bat out of hell was written as part of the soundtrack to a musical of Jim's called Neverland... A futuristic Peter Pan set in a city of chrome bat, bat 2 and dead ringer albums were meant as a trilogy.
Btw... After a number of years of back problems and operations for it... Meat did a mini show on a us TV show in Nov (look up meat loaf legacy..it's here on UA-cam)... And had 4 new songs ready...and was going back into the studio to make a comeback album... In January
Rest in peace meat and Jim
OH And Meatloaf us to say "Its in the song. Listen to the words"
I'd do anything for your love Irina 😍😍😍😍😍🤓 - you probably have heard some of his music or seen a cpl movies he was in but just didn't know who he is
You influenced an entire country Meat - Bat out of Hell still holds the record for highest selling album in Australia - 1.75m albums when the population of Australia was only 14m in 1977 - crazy!!!
A beautiful song and you were spot on about Beauty and the Beast plus LOVE.
Thank you so much!
This is a beauty and the beast story..
