I've never encountered a song/music video that so nakedly confronts trauma from a male perspective. It's so emotional-- and not just about sex and relationships, which is rare. At 41, this songs hit differently. It's such a beautiful reflection in middle age on the experiences that shaped your character, both tragic and enthralling. God rest both Meat and Jim.

They did make some amazing creations, but honestly I hope they don't get back together, Jim was always jealous of how aday was being better recognised for the songs than him. There is an interview clip, of the band, and the interveiwer asks aday "what sort of genre would you class your music?" Aday, trying to be respectful says "ah ask jim about our music" Jim cuts in "well I would class MY music as...." I get they should be getting equal credit for their music, but Jim was a complete dick, even though aday always gave him the credit for it. He took out his problems on the guy who was trying to help him.

He fought hard for 25 years. When I lost him in 2016, he had a wife, four kids and three Master’s degrees. He lived his life better than anyone I’ve ever known. And while he was a huge REM fan, this song makes me think about him and all of our good times. Rest easy, brother!

Meat Loaf is (or was; the last live performance I saw video off wasn't great) one of the greats, but so is Jim Steinman who wrote most of the iconic songs. Steinman recorded some of these himself, but he just doesn't have the voice to do them full justice. Still good, though.

He sang every word with a gut wrenching meaning. He truly sung his passion and sung his message. We are worse off with his passing. But we will be forever closer to understanding the mystery and muscle of love ' ,thanks to his operatic rockiness.

If you are bored with the hum-drum-same-ol-thing from the U.S. or the Western market of Music, I highly suggest looking into K-Pop. The bigger companies SPEND on production of MVs like you described. AMAZING, AMAZING stuff. Even if Pop is not your favorite genre, there are work-arounds. There is a Girl Group that is now known as 'The Face Of Rock In K-Pop', basically on the fringe so they are the Black Sheep of music in Korea. NOBODY else does it like they do to the point that they are basically their own genre now. Dreamcatcher makes music in every genre you can think of. They even have some Metal stuff (they don't do the Screamo or Metal Growls but the instrumentation is SICK and their vocals are amazing!). Every member brings it (there are seven awesome ladies to try to keep your eyes on). Hard to say 'no' to a group that can do just about everything. Their production just keeps getting better but they are from a smaller company. With their debut, they opened a dark, horror-based storyline that lasted seven title tracks, each attached to different albums or mini-albums or EPs. After that storyline was done, they moved on to tackle Social issues. Their B-sides are not necessarily Rock or Metal but they are great vocalists no matter what. They have a lullaby (which is actually called 'Lullaby', lol), they have some Rasta, they have some Country, of course have some Rap and they do covers of other group's songs from Western countries as well as from Korea. They are my fav group in all of music BECAUSE they do EVERYTHING, matching my eclectic musical taste plus when they have MVs, it's just like you described; Mini-Movies. But DC is not the only group who makes those Mini-Movies with all that great production. :)

The sad fact about this song is it tackles real life situations. It's very dramatic and meat tells the story with such conviction. It's heartbreakingly brilliant

This is the first time I've seen the music video. The first part of the song always resonated with me (lyrically), as my best friend was killed (run over by a lorry while cycling) in 1994 when we were both 11. It was Christmas 1994 that we bought the cassette tape for my Dad. I soon ended up taking the tape from my Dad to listen to it as much as I could. Great album, great songwriting from the late Jim Steinmann and great performing from Meat Loaf.

He was a soaring talent that sadly fell to Earth many times despite his constant striving but his Legacy will live on forever ❤️💞

The way he describes the father breaks my heart every time. “He was dangerous and drunk and defeated. Corroded by failure and envy and hate.” That’s not calling him a monster. That’s tragically pointing out how very real he is. Very humanistic and beautiful and sad. Listened to this song for the first time in years last night and had to watch the video today. I was in tears the entirety of my work commute listening to it.

Every scare from the past 25 years comes back like a demon to remind me of the lives I still need to guide to the future. I want my brother’s example to be like that rear view mirror. In my face, showing me how to be a father.

RIP Meat Loaf (September 27, 1947 - January 20, 2022), aged 74 You will be remembered as a legend.

This was the first song I heard from him and boy oh boy was it a real road trip... He was a ballad master like no other, with the voice to match. RIP legend!

Music is the closest thing we have to a time machine.

It's rough cause my dad passed away a couple months ago, and meatloaf was one of his favorite singer. Meatloaf death impacted me more than I thought, because all I can think about is all the car rides I had with my dad listening to this album. It just hurts. It hurts a lot and it's hard to express it.

@@polizzi19 yeah it was the cassette tape, and something I wish I still had, but throughout the years it kind of got misplaced. My condolences about your loss, and just want to say thanks for the comment. I was actually getting pretty down today cause it's closing in on a year since his passing and I totally forgot about this comment but the comment reminded me of a happy memory and hopefully it did the same for you. So thank you so much.

This cuts me so deep in almost every verse. Rest in peace Meat. We will meet one day soon

RIP Meatloaf, you legend. What a track, sends shivers down my spine every time.

Rest in Peace Meat Loaf. Your legacy is some of the best music of all time.

Meatloaf was the nicest guy you can imagine. I miss him.

I live in a small farm town, born in the 70s that have this as our anthem album. I think there's about 2000 that can sing the entire album, word for word, by memory, 40 yrs later.

I remember when this album came out. I was in such a dark place in my life. Struggling with depression, and alcohol. I woke up one morning with a bad hangover. A voice inside my head said this is not okay. This will not solve the problems you are having. So I grabbed my headphones and this cd and went on long walks and did alot of soul searching. I've been sober ever since.

Jim Steinman and Meatloaf are perfect together. I’ve loved Meatloaf since the 70’s - Bat out of hell was like nothing else. His vocals on For Crying Out Loud are sheer perfection. I literally have worn out the vinyl, cassette, and cd. Thank God for digital!

Rest in peace Will. We were in first grade together, he was my tent mate in my first camping trip at 7 years old, we became eagle scouts together at 17. Will overdosed in 2017, he was almost done with his bachelor's degree, he had gone bAck to school. I miss him everyday.

"we got our dream reborn and our upholstery torn..." - Jim Steinman was the greatest, a true legend. In a million years I could never write lyrics like that.

My mom always cries when she hears this song, she says it reminds her of growing up her step dad beating her and her mom never standing up for her or her siblings she got pregnant at 17 it was 83 in the cold of winter when my dad and her decided to runaway their first attempt was a failure and my dad was arrested when he got out he visited my mom at school and asked if she wanted to try again so they ran away again got help from a preacher named Travis and his wife Bobby who bought them a bus ticket gave them food and clothes then they ran to Oklahoma that was 37 years ago and despite all the hardships they faced they're still together.

I'm glad she found happiness...so sorry she had a rotten upbringing. Most animal mothers would let themselves be torn to pieces if necessary protecting their babies from predators. Human mothers turn a blind eye, shrug, and let predators into their homes and repeatedly maul their children. Sad, really...

Meatloaf's songs meant a lot to me growing up. Especially "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are". Now that's a long title :-) The song reminds me of my friend Steve that left life way too early. It was written and composed by a less infamous musician and songwriter, Jim Steinman. Meatloaf breathed so much life into the song. Songs are amazing... You can touch people and help them while you are alive even after you are gone... Not too many things are like that. Meatloaf is gone but his songs will live on for many years to come to touch new people and help them.

For me, the first portion of this video ALWAYS makes me cry and leaves a lasting impression on my mind after each time I listen to it

I grew up with my family listening to Meat Loaf. When this album came out it was his comeback and I was a bit older, about 12 or 13. I remember this video coming out as a single to follow up “I’d do anything for love”. When I saw this video at the time I thought it seemed so dramatic and a bit over the top. This song is not one that plays too often so when I heard it the Other day I decided to watch the video, having these faint memories. What an absolute different impression it leaves on me today as a 41 year old man than as a 13 year old boy. The lyrics and video mean so much more. The losses of loved ones over the years, finding love, getting married, having beautiful wonderful children. All the hardships and all the good times. And all this is punctuated by the loss of the man himself who brought this song to life. This is for me, and I imagine many others, such an emotional song and brings me to tears. RIP Meat. Love your family and friends, and even though it’s hard to do every day, try to take tiny pauses to appreciate those we have. Rarely do we recognize the value of a moment until it has become a distant memory
