Thank you Jim for the joy you gave to the world... your music lives in hearts ...you enriched us and gave us gift of real value...you opened our eyes....thank you is not really enough..:
I agree with you. They did fantastic work together. This is One of the most beautiful songs. The Melody may be simple but the meaning of the words is any thing simple
I remembering listening to this when I was young, and it reminded me of my mortality. Now that I'm much older, even more so than ever. Thank you for a beautiful song JS!
My favourite ever song, it just speaks so clearly of the tragedy of being seperated from the one you love, but also of the beauty of having known that wonderful person who you now miss so much. An eternal classic.
I really liked Jim’s writing and talents. Jim could really play a piano. I think many people did not understand Meatloaf as a whole. They made a fantastic team. 🙂
I loved it when he said it was one of the easiest melodies to come up with - but hearing it I always thought it was one of the most difficult. I wish he and Meatloaf would hook back up, Bat out of Hell III (although good) isn't the way it should end.
@Charlierosea I would like to see you playing piano pieces of songs you have written 30 years after the fact without any sheet music. And these are just a selection of the songs he has written.
Can't help thinking that both of them would have had a much easier life if Meatloaf had just been fit enough to record Bad for Good. He'd have had two killer albums in succession and wouldn't have needed to keep flogging himself now.
Heaven waited for him for 73 years. RIP Jim Steinman
I heard, and I was very sad, but you know what, man is gone, but his music is eternal.... Rock'n'roll dream becomes true!!
And Heaven waited for Meat Loaf for 74 years.
RIP Jim, thanks for all those wonderful songs X
One of the finest composers ever.
Heaven couldn't wait any longer....RIP Jim.

The ability to create melodies like that amazes me.
Without shame without fear I can clearly say this and songs by the great man saved my youth elevated my soul and gave me hope I shall abide
This man is a songwriting genius!
Rip Jim you were a true Master!
Gone are the days where songwriters wrote music that made you feel things. They don't make music like they used to. Cheers Jim!
Oh I wish he make a dvd just playing piano on his songs

Yeah, me too. Progression and finding happiness. I started to like hanging out on earth.
"Heaven Can Wait" my favorite song ever!!
One of my favorite Jim Steinman songs. So happy to see a video of him playing it!
The talent amazes me. Playing, writing and producing music to Jim Steinman is like me brushing my teeth or combing my hair - simply natural.
Heaven has turned richer now...you and Meat are there together. What an eternal treat for all there...
RIP Meat Loaf. Perfect song to play in your honor. The Universe remembers!
Best song on Bat out of Hell in my opinion
i totally agree
Utter brilliance! Could be played at a wedding or funeral .genius
Agreed!
Yes top notch first class quality song really beautiful probably my favorite on the album too
heaven could not wait any longer for you jim and may you rest in the beds of heaven gone but never forgotten.
Jim Steinman has wicked style, theres no one else like him. Hes definately one of a kind.
I'm not surprised he said the song is like a lullaby; it's on my bedtime songs playlist.
Beautiful song! It's the end of everything...chaos...but the beauty is still there.
And all our parents have fled...
Ohhhhhh my god! This is music at it´s best. That man sure knows how to make good music.
My favourite ever song, it just speaks so clearly of the tragedy of being seperated from the one you love, but also of the beauty of having known that wonderful person who you now miss so much.
An eternal classic.

THOSE SHOES
I really liked Jim’s writing and talents. Jim could really play a piano. I think many people did not understand Meatloaf as a whole. They made a fantastic team. 🙂
My dream was to meet him but once. Even if it was just for a few seconds. But now it's too late...
I loved it when he said it was one of the easiest melodies to come up with - but hearing it I always thought it was one of the most difficult.
I wish he and Meatloaf would hook back up, Bat out of Hell III (although good) isn't the way it should end.
Right? It was easy to come up with that idea after it miraculously appeared in his head. Funny, that's never yet happened to me.
@Charlierosea I would like to see you playing piano pieces of songs you have written 30 years after the fact without any sheet music. And these are just a selection of the songs he has written.
Reminiscent of As Tears Go By...
RIP Meat Loaf.
What you gonna do in those shoes Jim Steinman
I hope heaven can wait a bit longer for Meat Loaf.
oh yes he does.
@Razorsharpedge He's not too dissimilar to les Dawson!! :)
No seriously, I love the guy!
They should adapt Jim Steinman’s Peter Pan or Neverland and have Meatloaf play Wendy.
I don't know why too much video on his foot instead of concentrate of him playing. That's what we want to see
Trim those damn nails!!! : )
Able to play piano with those nails!
Can't help thinking that both of them would have had a much easier life if Meatloaf had just been fit enough to record Bad for Good. He'd have had two killer albums in succession and wouldn't have needed to keep flogging himself now.
You know, you're right. Things might have been MUCH different.
Great songwriter, not the best pianist
thats why Roy Bittan played on the Bat out of Hell album. From the E Street Band
