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.

My best friend Mike saved me - the new, freckle-faced kid - from a life of solitude on the school playground in 1986. A few years later, they discovered his first brain tumor. 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!

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.

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.

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. :)

Het gaat zo als het zou. liefde geen geweld niet stelen alles gratis.

Question is was it a true story or just and epic tale to tell.

[@francollins8487]

Wake up this morning to the very very sad news that Meatloaf the God of music has gone. What a Lovely genuine gentleman he was. Heaven has reserved a special place for him. Meatloaf you have made so many people happy with your talent and music. Much Love to your family. Rest in peace big fella 🙏😔💔😢😞💙

[@derkadel]

Heute ist ein Tag an dem ich Meatloaf höre.... Und gestern war ein Tag an dem ich Meatloaf hörte... Und morgen wird ein Tag sein an dem ich Meatloaf hören werde... Er starb und hinterließ eine Musik die mich noch in das letzte Jahrtausend...... .... träumen lässt.

[@OleColdee]

This song has so much more meaning now that Meat is gone. It's like him reflecting on his life,he's young here,like it's him seeing his past and after going to the great beyond,a time traveler of sorts. I feel like this song and video after his passing is that much more powerful. This is his spirit,right here,young and happy,meloncholic but reflective and soon to be with his loved ones. Prophetic in a way. So long Meat,one of the greatest ever,be at peace and soon,we will all be objects in the rear view mirror...

I have been around for awhile at 76 I've heard many artists but meat loaf has been one who gets to the heart n soul of every song he does he reminds me of my dad who although he was a professional works his butt off for his 3 boys was in the Army reserves for 37 years, got to be C. O. Of ft Hamilton medical unit for 14 years well talk about your heros, that to me is a hero who need no Pat on the back he knows what he did an listening to meat loaf just brings a tear to my eye after all these years pop thank you we love you no one could hold a candle to you thanks Dad

Devastatingly beautiful song. I will never get tired of listening to his songs, even when they make me cry.

[@tonlynnduncan4758]

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...

R.I.P Meat Loaf, your music is timeless and such an inspiration, a true talent that will be sorely missed

[@chrismilesonline]

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.

[@lindahoffman2692]

Chris, Meatloaf breathed life into it because it was HIS story of his violent abusive alcoholic father! “He’s behind me and he’s gaining ground” was what he felt his entire life but his massive talent still couldn’t be crushed! May he Rest Easy now ❤️

[@clarkturner7484]

On the Dan rather interview (KZbin). Meat Loaf was asked, what is the one thing that bothers him more than anything in the world. He responded when people type his name as one word. Good job 👌

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.

I never was a huge fan of Meatloaf, but wanted to pay respect and tribute by ’discovering' his wonderfully deep, melancholic music today. So glad I did, as his depth and passion in music speaks true to my soul. I can't think of music that I ’relate’ with better then this, and I like a broad range of music. Shame I've deprived myself of this until now, it's like when I ’discovered' Pink Floyd. RIP, dear friend. You never died, you and your legacy live on in ways you never imagined! This song hurts so good, it's like reading my autobiography, or looking in a mirror... THANK YOU.

This album came out right after I got out of the Navy. My seizures were making me keep changing jobs, my marriage was falling apart (I later became a single dad forever), I was dealing with a lot of depression.
