Hes the only person in the world that makes the lyrics "I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun, torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike..." sound DELIGHTFUL.

Even though I upvoted your comment, I do not feel like that trivial acknowledgment is sufficient enough to justify my appreciation of your sentiment. Therefore, I'm just going to copy and paste your comment here again: Hes the only person in the world that makes the lyrics "I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun, torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike..." sound DELIGHTFUL.

I'm genuinely confused why you don't have a billion subscribers by now with a voice like that. You have an incredible amount of talent good sir, take advantage of it.

Because too few people have good taste in music maybe? 😜

I discovered this great artist while wondering if the "no more fucks to give" song I've heard randomly on instagram was a real one. Now I can't stop listenng to him. Bat Out Of Hell is one of my fave songs too, it's powerful, raw and to the bone when sung by Meatloaf. This version sent chills down my spine too. Gonna binge-listen your songs. Long life mr. Benjamin.

I assume the RU-vid algorithm directed me here because my penchant for "weird covers" is well understood and I recently played the original in tribute to the late Jim Steinman (RIP). Doesn't matter how I got here, but, I think I like the ambience, so I might hang around a while. No, joke, this is probably the most original cover of this track I've ever heard. Well Done Sir!.
