We should cry out loud that Meatloaf. Wasn't inducted to the Rock and Roll hall of fame before he died! The Rock and Roll Hall of fame is a sham people need to tell them how off base they are

Jim Steinman was quoted as saying that this was his favorite song he's ever written. I agree. For Crying out loud is a masterclass, and my favorite Meat Loaf song too!

This is the most epic track on an album full of epic tracks.

One of the most underrated tracks in Steinman and Meatloaf’s catalog. My personal favorite. Good choice.

This is the last song on the album. The whole album is about a boy resisting committing to the girl he is with, climaxing in the ending of Paradise by the Dashboard Light. In this song, he is finally ready to fully commit to his love.

Another great song of This Album that I never hear anybody talk about is Heaven Can Wait

I’m so glad to see that this is a fan favorite to many. I always felt like I was alone in loving this track. Thanks all for making me feel better about it !!!

Could not agree more! I loved every song from Bat out of hell, but this was always my favourite.

One of my favorite Meat Loaf songs. Not as fun as the others, but the emotion of the lyrics, the instrumentals, and the delivery is unmatched - not just in the Meat Loaf catalog, but in music overall.

This is my favorite song on the album. That's saying something since the album is freaking awesome.

Definitely Awesome!

Let's not forget & give a shout out to the producer on this song and album , the one and only Todd Rundgren. Jim Steinman & Meatloaf had approached other producers who all passed on doing the album. Jim was even belittled by Clive Davis who asked Jim if he even knew how to write a song. Jim & Meatloaf told Rundgren they had a deal with RCA records. When Rundgren found out the deal with RCA didn't exist , Albert Grossman who was Bob Dylan's manager offered to put it on his Bearsville label but needed more money. Rundgren had essentially paid for the album himself.

The final song on one of the greatest albums ever recorded

"For Crying Out Loud" is a later-in-life love letter to your partner. TL;DR: Old man life lesson musings. When you go back over the lyrics, they unfold as a reminesing over the phases of life as a couple from early commitment doubt, through the difficult years, and landing on the realization that through all of the ups and downs, all of the difficult times when you want to throw in the towel, etc, the best part of life was her (your long-term partner). In Meatloaf's delivery, you also feel the epiphany that real love is not the physical-attraction based feelings of immaturity and Hollywood, but rather real love is rooted in the deeper issues of never waivering commitment to being there for and with each other, no matter what the circumstances. In the lyrics, Steinman gives long lists of reasons to want someone, need someone, etc, all broken down into the phases of life together when these wants/needs/appreciations occur. However, with the crescendo the last "But most of all, for that I love you", the song (singer? guy reminising?) together every item from every list from every phase of life and is telling his partner that he loves her because of all of it. While Steinman wrote and presents this love letter from a male-to-female perspective, it isn't exclusely either a heterosexual or male-to-female love letter. Rather it is about realizing what real love truly is later in life, recognizing it in your long term relationship, and wanting your partner to know how much richer your life is because of EVERYTHING they brought to it. (or it is just a catchy track on the "Bat Out Of Hell" album that fit into the timing on the album's second side. Take your pick on which explanation works for you.) While this song was powerful as a teen when I first bought the album in 1977, it has gained relivence as I became old and irrelevant. I committed the common young guy mistake of basing marriage #1 on the shallowness which attracts youth and it played out predictably. But now in my 26th year of my second marriage, looking back on what we went through together, and realizing that not only did we stay together during the times which no one would blame either of us for leaving, but also that neither of us even so much as considered being anywhere but beside each other makes this song even more powerful.

Love Meatloaf. R.I.P

It is just amazing. An entire album of nothing but love songs. Covering Love in all of it's shapes, sizes and colors. In my 63 years I've never heard a single person say they didn't like this album. There is something here for everyone, no matter your music preferences.

Let me first say congrats on being the first reaction channel to react to this song. Ssecondly, thank you, thank you for listening to this master piece of a love song.

This is my favourite Meat Loaf song. Jim Steinman called it "my masterpiece". Nice reaction guys.

Has always been at the top of my Meatloaf / Jim Steinman list.

This entire album - both sides, start to finish, was incredible. I saw him in concert many years ago, and he left every ounce of himself on that stage. He gave everything - and it was magical. XO ☺

This was me and my lady's song before she passed away. Brings back memories thanx for reacting

I was waitin for that last note.. it literally makes ur goosebumps get goosebumps

This song needs a few listens to grasp how absolutely amazing it is. It’s one of the best love songs ever written.

The "Bat Out of Hell" album was on the charts foe 82 weeks.

My favourite track on the album. The more you listen to this the better it gets. Absolutely phenomenal.

My favorite off this album. An absolute masterpiece.

You should not overthink this too much. When I heard this song as a teenager back in the 70s it seeped into my bones and the words and the music let me soar high above every time. This is simply one of the most epic love songs EVER written. Period.

This is how you end a rock opera album like Bat out of Hell. Jimmy knew how to put together an album.

This is such a great song. When I heard him sing this live it just blew me away. Not many if any, songs from this album you can’t like. Over 43 million copies worldwide of this album have been sold 😮

ya gotta do "you took the words right outta my mouth" one of his best.

I can’t believe you’re checking this out! It’s relatively the unknown track from Bat Out of Hell (one of the greatest albums of all time). Thanks and I’m excited to see what you both think. So, Jim Steinman (the songwriter and piano player) released a solo album after this. It was called Bad for Good. It was supposed to be Meat Loaf’s next album but something happened. I always thought it was because Meat Loaf got into an accident and couldn’t do it as a result, so Steinman decided to release it with himself doing the vocals. But it could have been a financial thing or another dispute IDK. Anyway, after you finish checking out every song from Bat Out of Hell, you should listen to the title track Bad for Good (it’s pretty good) but just imagine how great a song it would have been if Meat Loaf did the vocals!! Thanks again for checking this out !!!

The entire album is a masterpiece!!! Was raised on this. And it will never ever leave my playlists!!!

Took the words right out of my mouth LIVE!

All his songs are like a rock opera.

I had that album on 8-track in 1979. It stayed in the player in my car for a solid month, every where I went it was playing.

Heaven Can Wait is one of my favorites from this album.

In my mind, this song tells the story of a man who loved a woman but struggled with addiction. They come together, he screws it up, they come together, he screws it up, over and over. Finally he recognizes that she is freedom and the addiction was the master in whose chains he was kneeling. Hence the ending of thanking her over and over for sticking with him until he grew out of it.

I clicked the like before the video even started! Thank you Phil and Sam for doing this song. It is probably my favorite song on this incredible album. Another favorite song is “Couldn’t have said it better”.

The Bat out of hell Album is the highest selling Album in Australia to this day. Not bad for am Album released in 1977. The population of Australia in 1977 was 14.2 million people. This album to date has sold 1.8 million copies here now at a population level of 26.7 million. It was about the 23rd best selling album in the USA.

His going low, "oh but most of all" gets me every time! He usually goes high but it's a perfect time to go low. Really hits.

You guys should do his last big hit....he did " it's all coming back to me" it's a duet actually

Thank you. Absolutely love this song. My favorite from this album. Imagine listening to this with a black light on i n your high school bedroom. Always be a part of my life and growing up. Thank you for being part of my life and upbringing.

Finally, finally, finally.... I've been trying to get all the channels I watch to check this out for years, and now I bask.......

The Greatest album of all time. FULL STOP.

I lost my brother 2 years ago. He introduced me to this album in the early 80s. This is too much😢

Meat's hidden masterpiece. Those drums!!!!!!!!!!

Meat Loaf Commented That This Is His Favorite Song of His and That This Song IS The Best Love Song of All Time, Bar None!!!

Enjoyed your reaction to this epic song. Speaking of the stunning beauty of just MLs voice and a piano, check out the video of him performing the National Anthem.

Early 70’s is nothing like mid 70’s and again late 70’s. Just like every decade

Yay! You finally reacted to this one. My all time favorite song by Meatloaf. The single greatest love song ever

Your description only talks about Meat Loaf who I loved. But Jim Steinman was the genius who brought this epic to paper and instrument. Lest anybody ever forget that.

This one is different in a sense because it is the finale of a 7 song 'catalogue' album that broaches all of the emotions and confusion of learning what love is and what he wants with this young lady he's pursuing. From the Dashboard Light until For Crying Out Loud an evolution takes place, and this song is likely somewhere in the future when they started a family and he's reflecting on the chaos of growing up and becoming responsible. The buildup is the triumphant realization of what he has in her.

The best description I've ever heard for this album is "the soundtrack of the seventies".

If you haven't heard it yet, my favourite from Meatloaf is: "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are". Please check the video, it's like a mini movie really :).

This song is amazing. I freaking love Meatloaf ❤️ I had this Lp and the album cover was on the actual disc. I played it constantly driving my parents nuts. They bought it for me so too bad. Peace out guys ✌️ ☮️

Would love you to hear this again but live with Meatloaf and the Melbourne symphony orchestra. This particular song was rarely sung live and was also towards the end of his career where his health was taking a real toll on his abilities to perform.

He said in an interview every song he puts on a as character. He's also played in a few movies

My favorite Meatloaf song!!!!!

Jim stein was primarily wrote for stage theater

One of the greatest masterpieces in music history.

Meatloaf is one of my favorites Rocker

That ending bridge! Only matched by Steve Forbert's bridge in "Search your heart",

One of the greatest vocal performances of all time

Meat used to say this is the greatest love song ever written, and anyone who disagreed could fight him on it hahah.

Hello, thankyou you for still doing Meatloaf, am also a big fan. Side note, do miss your old intro, always gave me a Knight rider feel. Keep up the fun reactions 😊

Sam, Phil: As somebody else mentioned... THANK YOU!!! Very few reactors have this song in their list. And even though the lyrics give you a heavy sense of dread or pain, it is (IMO) the best song of the album. Absolute masterpiece!

After you have finished 'Bat Out Of Hell', you guys might like to review 'Total eclipse Of The Heart', by Bonnie Tyler. It was also written by Jim Steinman, and was rumoured to be destined for Meatloaf, but they had some sort of falling out at the time. It still became a smash hit, and you can almost hear Meatloaf singing it.

In my opinion the best love song ever written and no other voice could have done it justice like meatloafs

Since albums aren't created like they use to I feel bad that younger people no longer get the total album experience with certain artists. I'm 62 and I can recall about 10 albums or so that have zero filler and every track becomes your favorite. Bat Out of Hell is one of those albums. Simply not a bad song on it. And the funny part is absolutely none of the labels wanted to record it! Lol

You labelled it 2 out of 3, but it's 4 crying out loud.

Awesome song

Bat out of hell (the album) is 24 hour period in the protagonist life. The first song on the album, BOOH, is about escape. (The phrase, bat out of hell means: with extreme urgency without fear of consequences). In “For Crying Out Loud” (the last song on BOOH) he’s reached his destination (“the chilly California sand”). The journey has beaten him down. He’s humbled. Realizing that the ‘things’ he was searching for were the ‘things’ he left behind.

always one of my favourites!

There is a theory that "Bad Out of Hell" from 1977 was a bit of a rip off of "Born To Run" from 1975...Roy Bittan played on both albums, and they both have that theatrical "Wall of Sound" thing going....

I love this song. It is different from the other songs being, IMHO, just a simple love song. The entire album is fantastic but one of my favourites off this album is All Revved Up.

The song that people should’ve been suggesting is the epic “You took the words right out of my mouth”. Can’t believe this one was recommended before the other.

This song is one of the least reacted to song by Meatloaf, thamks for doing it for us.
