    Jim Steinman, the songwright who wrote the song and, unless I'm mistaken, the pianist on the song as well, had a gift for crafting musical stories of really kind of dysfunctional love. Meatloaf had a gift for giving those songs *life* in a way other artists rarely managed, though a handful of his song became famous from other artists - "Holding Out for a Hero" and "Total Eclipse of the Heartt" by Bonnie Tyler, "Making Love (Out of Nothing At All)" by Air Supply and even "It's All Coming Back" by Celine Dion.
    But Jimmy and Meatloaf were a thunderously strong duo and their unique energy in the music industry is very much missed.

    Such a unique and talented artist. He seemed to come out of nowhere exploded then would disappear and return years later and repeat. Imo one of the most talented performers ever both as a singer and actor. I'm surprised "You Took The Words Right Of My Mouth" or "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" didn't come in 2nd? Diane would definitely like both songs being what I refer to as theatrical songs. His acting popped up in little parts "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" "Scavenger Hunt" "Wayne's World" " Keeping the Faith" "Formula 51" and of course "Fight Club."

    Meatloaf's was sort of my jam since I first heard him do Bat Out Of Hell. His music always told some sort of story in a very theatrical way. I saw him live three times with gaps of ten or more years between shows He didn't tour the Canadian Prairies that often. He was also a pretty good actor in more than one film and TV roles.
    The last time I saw him live was June 17th 2016 in Edmonton, Alberta he was doing his show which was always pretty theatrical. He had cancelled a couple of shows just before this due to health concerns, and there were questions about whether this show would happen. It did, but he didn't look in the best of shape. He was singing "I'd do anything for love" in his usual dramatic manner when he slowly collapsed on stage while singing. At first it was hard to tell if it was part of the performance or if something had happened, as the band kept playing for a bit before band members and crew rushed to his aid. The show immediately ended, and he was taken to hospital overnight. Suffering from a severe case of dehydration. Made the show even more memorable.
    So, I enjoyed you reaction to this tune.

    The first verse is him telling a girl he will never love her. But he wants her and needs her and he has found out that those too aren’t bad by them selves and she will learn it too. The second verse is explaining that he gave away his heart to someone years before that told him that she would never love him and that’s how she learned 2 outta 3 ain’t bad. So now it’s just a vicious cycle that keeps playing on into the future.

    Happy Friday, Diane! I'm really not too up on Meatloaf, the singer. I have heard of him outside of his music. He has a decent voice. He definitely sings with a lot of emotion as evidenced in this song. Glad to see that you have enjoyed it. Always a pleasure to see your reactions Diane. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend and be well! Take care! 👋😎🙏🎉

    I got the nick name little Rick as a kid since my dads named Rickey also. Everyone always wonders why I am called little Rick since I am 5'10" and not little. I would of never thought that would be your nick name. Being organized and clean is a good thing. It's hard to keep a house organized and clean so that's a good trait to have. At work, I keep hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes to wipe the area clean after others have worked at the computer desk. Wipe the desk, switcher source panels, headset/microphone, phone, keyboard and mouse.

    If you like Meaty's music then look up information about the late Jim Steinman, the composer who wrote the songs for him. It would also explain the popularity of Bonnie Tyler's _Total Eclipse of the Heart,_ Celine Dion's _It's All Coming Back to Me Now,_ and popular songs recorded by many other performers.
    Hmm, Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler and Celine Dion ... well, two out of three ain't bad.

    As a person with a hearing impairment I can't stress enough how much I appreciate Meat Loaf. Not only does he have a beautiful singing voice but the way he is able to enunciate every word, even when singing fast, makes it so easy to pick up the lyrics on first listening. It usually takes me a few runs through the song and sometimes I need to read the lyrics. That could be why I appreciate songs as a whole before I ever get into what they are trying to say.

    His real name is Michael Lee Aday but he was a big kid and got the nickname meatloaf as a kid and kinda stuck with it. A true performer, operatic voice. Nothing really compares today. This song was from 1977 his first year, the guy on piano with black hair was jim steinman who wrote the lyrics and did the musical arrangements.

    I had lived very close to Mr Aday in CT for many years. He had a fabulous family. He really was a good soul. But his anger got the best of him sometimes. But also as a nurse I tried to encourage him to live a more healthy lifestyle. You can lead a horse to water but it’s up to them to drink from the well. I still miss him!

    Meatloaf was a multi talented person. Not only in his musical carrier but he was in several movies and TV Series. One of my favorites was when he was in an episode of Tales from the Crypt called What's Cookin'. Let's just say there was a part of the episode where his name had had multiple meanings.

    If you like Meat Loaf, you should check out Bonnie Tyler, a Welsh singer who stylistically is basically Meat Loaf's female counterpart. This is mostly due to the fact that Meat Loaf's songwriter, Jim Steinman had a falling out with him and started writing songs for her, most notably "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "I Need a Hero".

    his birth name is Michael Lee Aday. but from a very young age, he was a big boy, and his family started calling him Meatloaf. it just stuck. He was a poet, and story teller, and his music encompasses both of those aspects. you should also listen to "Bat out of hell" and really listen to the lyrics.. it is a whole story, from end to end.
