Meat Loaf!

[Onyx]

I forgot how much I used to like him, and then I happened on a video clip today.

I like the anything for love one - full orchestra backing him up. Man he has lost a lot of weight. I liked him much better with the long hair though.

The first time I saw him he was really heavy and was wearing a ruffled white shirt with a black velvet vest, singing "I would do anything for love" and I was blown away with the sheer intensity of his singing. It was fascinating. He gave every ounce (and there were lots of ounces, lol) to his work.

I've noticed in a lot of clips I've viewed he doesn't always do that well live but I still want to see him live sometime. Nothing close by here though this year though so it will take some doing.

I especially like these lyrics (god they tear my heart out really)

============

"Is Nothing Sacred?

If a love as strong as ours

Couldn’t make it all the way,

Can anything make sense at all?

If a love so deep and true

Couldn’t stand the test of time,

Then mount everest could slide,

And jeruselem could fall.

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Is forever just another word?

Is a promise something people used to keep

When love was worth fighting for?

If we can say good-bye,

If we can say good-bye,

Is nothing sacred anymore?

I can hear the final words

Every sentence that was said

Don’t know what turned our lives around.

It doesn’t matter who was right,

There’s no justice in a dream.

Never thought a heart could break

Without making any sound.

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Is forever just another word?

Is a promise something people used to keep

When love was worth fighting for?

If we can say good-bye,

If we can say good-bye,

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Our love was as certain as the dawn,

As solid and safe as any love could be.

Our love was the star you wished upon,

And you thought that I saved you,

Could’ve sworn that you saved me.

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Is forever just another word?

Is a promise something people used to keep

When love was worth fighting for?

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Is forever just another word?

Is a promise something people used to keep

When love was worth fighting for?

If we can say good-bye,

If we can say good-bye,

Is nothing sacred anymore?"

I'm sorry. Ever have a case where an ex liked something so much that not only were you wore out by having to listen to it all the time when together, but....when you heard the songs it reminded you of them? Thus the case with me. I sorta liked Meatloaf once....

[Scary Guy]

I have always loved the "Bat out of Hell" album. Never really got into much else. Great actor though, his work in "Fight Club" was great.

[Black Sunday9]

I prefer Olive Loaf.

[Guest MsMaldoror]

I like veggie loaf best.

I saw this and I had to say I love all his work, I always did. we used to play all his stuff as loud as our crummy little car co do it and sing along as loud as we felt. now I have to go listen to some :cheerful

[Mikielikesit]

Oh yes Meatloaf fuckin' rocks..........I sing along with his music as loud and as bad as I possibly can while I'm driving and people just look all strange at me and I don't care in fact I'll sing at them if they stare too long.......I love his heart wrenching songs they reach in and tear at your innerds, his views of love are oh so wonderful. :tear
