Thank you Jim for the joy you gave to the world... your music lives in hearts ...you enriched us and gave us gift of real value...you opened our eyes....thank you is not really enough..:
I agree with you. They did fantastic work together. This is One of the most beautiful songs. The Melody may be simple but the meaning of the words is any thing simple
All these comments about Heaven missing the point of the song... he was a beautiful man and he lived. And he brought a little more of heaven to earth for us to experience.
I remembering listening to this when I was young, and it reminded me of my mortality. Now that I'm much older, even more so than ever. Thank you for a beautiful song JS!
My favourite ever song, it just speaks so clearly of the tragedy of being seperated from the one you love, but also of the beauty of having known that wonderful person who you now miss so much. An eternal classic.
I loved it when he said it was one of the easiest melodies to come up with - but hearing it I always thought it was one of the most difficult. I wish he and Meatloaf would hook back up, Bat out of Hell III (although good) isn't the way it should end.
I really liked Jim’s writing and talents. Jim could really play a piano. I think many people did not understand Meatloaf as a whole. They made a fantastic team. 🙂
@Charlierosea I would like to see you playing piano pieces of songs you have written 30 years after the fact without any sheet music. And these are just a selection of the songs he has written.
Can't help thinking that both of them would have had a much easier life if Meatloaf had just been fit enough to record Bad for Good. He'd have had two killer albums in succession and wouldn't have needed to keep flogging himself now.
