I've been scrolling through RU-vid listening to Meat Loaf as a way to pay tribute to the legend who was and will always be a huge part of my life and I came across this song from him, which I've never heard of before! It's GORGEOUS and I now have it on loop. RIP, sir. You will be sorely missed but thank you for decades of beautiful, passionate music.
He is doing the best he can, still love him no matter what. He is not auto tuned and he is past his best days but we still have him and he is still doing his best. love this man and jim forever
Dear Meatloaf! Happy birthday for you! 70 years old, but the biggest singer in the world! Ever and forever! Special thanks for you every song and movie! Good health for you and god bless forever! Chris from Hungary!
I think Meat's best years are long behind him and I get that he has a legacy and he could've retired years ago and let it be but you've gotta commend the man for his dedication at his age. Yes his voice isn't as good as it used to be but he's still here and he's still ALIVE!!
Love it.. love the whole album. Listen to it at least 4 times, it's brilliant. Take into consideration his age, his desire to sing like a powerhouse legend will always remain. Love him whilst he is still here, there will be no other.
This is my favorite song from the album. This edit does no justice. And that is where some people judge, they watch this video and say what a load of crap it is. The full 11+ minute is amazing
I love this masterpiece! All those "music experts" below unmask themselves as laypersons as they are not able to realize a great artist. Meat never wanted to do a record like he did before, so he always did different ones. His greatest art on Braver than we are is to put together "old" Steinman songs to one big symphonie and use his voice like he's never done before. And hell he can sing!
Meat Loaf is a legend. He is one of the greatest singers of all time, and one of the greatest showmen in history. His career is legendary and he is an inspiration for many for the way he battles on!!!!
Had to come to listen to this song when I woke up and found out Meat Loaf died 😭 rest in peace meat loaf (Michael Lee Aday ) 💔yours was the first concert I attended it was an amazing show and I shall forever cherish those memories💕
ive been in love with meatloaf since i was 3 im 33 now. i know the day will come when you have to say goodbye to us but like your song says 'heaven can wait"
I just listened to Going all the way reading all the words on the insert. The emotion is so overpowering, all 3 really nail it. Meat will never die to me
its sounds better and better each time I listen to this masterpiece, and people he is not young anymore so stop criticizing him morons.... go meat you are still the same best singer in my ears.
Amen 🙏🏼 Cowards are weak and hide behind criticism, because they failed their dreams. They hate the brave, who are strong enough to bare their souls to the world, and it made them famous. .~There will only be one Meatloaf, who will leave behind a legacy.
Hands down this is the best of Meat Loaf. I wanted to have Braver Than We Are -vinyl for sooo long, and eventually I got it on the day when Jim Steinman died.
Wow, so the first 30 seconds I was like "what the hell is this nonsense"? Then my brain completely switched and made me realize how BRILLIANT that song is! First time I've heard it.
Does Meat Loaf sound as good as he did 40 years ago, no, but who does. Is this a great song - yes. The combination of Steinman and Meat Loaf remains one of the most powerful there is. Ellen and Karla are a great combination and really make this song in my opinion. I will always be a Meat Loaf fan and I think it's great he is still active.
Since I saw the music video in 1993 for "I'd would do anything for love" on MTV, I have been a Meat Loaf (and Neverland Express) fan. I was twelve years old and two things in particular made an huge impact on me: The guitars and the choir! Eventually I learned English (I'm not a English native speaker, so sorry for the bad english) and I really began to appreciate the epic lyrics from Jim Steinman. So when I learned that Meat and Jim were going to do this album together - AND use Ellen Foley and Karla DeVito - I had no doubt that this album would be legendary! But unfortunately, I'm filled with mixed feelings after having listened to it a few times. The lyrics are great and so is the performance of Ellen and especially Karla. However - as we all know - the voice of Meat has been declining over the last decade. It's not his fault, it's just how it is. But my biggest beef with this album, is the absolute lack of guitar solos and chorus! It contains almost only regular rhythm guitar and certainly not the riffs or solos that I have grown accustomed to from this band. Chorus-wise - Ellen and Karla are a delight, but I'm missing the awesome angelic voice from the rest of the Neverland Express. That being said, I'm still a Meat Loaf fan and I will still continue to listen to him in the future.
Don't agree with you! Can you imagine that Meat didn't want to do a record like the other ones before? It is on purpose that the arrangements are different and it is on purpose that he sang so low, not because he couldn't sing anymore! On other songs of the same record he is going high, so don't say: he can't sing anymore. This is and wants to be a record like no one before so stop comparing! IMO its a masterpiece of music and the best he ever made.
The full song with its 11 minutes and 28 seconds makes it clear that for Jim Steinman - and Meat Loaf - everything still is larger than life. Whereas other singers sing about how much they're in love with each other, how they will stay together, for Meat it was always more. The brilliant wordplay in some albums, the darker themes of "Bat Out Of Hell III", the unusual "Hell in a Handbasket", and here returning to the roots with "Going All The Way Is Just The Start". Whereas "Bat Out Of Hell" made love a story about Heaven and Hell, this song does so again, without the rock opera, but somehow still turning into an epic ballad that simply is larger than life. Where in Bat Out Of Hell the protagonist fled from hell just to die, here he already has reached the Heavens, and he has to gain the approval of the Gods for his love, while at the same time knowing that the dark secrets he has, the truths he might share, might scare that woman away that is worth more than life. Many people report the unity with God through deepest love for each other. Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah is a testament to the truths behind those words, and Jim Steinman's lyrics, while completely different, also hint at the greater realities between lovers. Love can be fulfilling, but it also can be harsh, cold. Where there once was a loving God blessing the sacred unity of two bodies and hearts, there now is an empty space, a broken heart. Cohen's reality is Steinman's fear in this song. Are they brave enough for their love? Are they brave enough to burn all bridges, to be completely honest, fully knowing that at the end there can be no more secrets, that all truths will be revealed to each other? The sirens are still screaming. The fires are still howling. In some way this song is the real Bat Out Of Hell II. Things left undone. Things cast aside. Why the finality? Why the calls to the Gods? Shadows of darkness in Heaven? There is only one answer. The protagonist is dead. It is a love that is greater than a worldly one. He died at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun. Sometimes in the day, and the sun has got no mercy... I want to believe that this is the same story, continued. The protagonist is dead, but their love is more alive than ever. The secrets he never can tell are the secrets of life after death. So many subrubs of hell? That is where he just came from, and their hours were 24/7. He escaped on his bike. He paid the price. They were dancing through the night, he died the next day. Sometimes it's the night and the way it seems to cry and whisper terrifying secrets in your ear? The premonitions of the death the next day? Saying a prayer for those who crawl, who run, for all the young... who died. A prayer for him. A prayer for their love. How far is too far? "I got to be where you are!" Suicide after the boyfriend has died? Or a ghost haunting his lover? Be it as it is, their love is strong. In Tarot, the Lovers have the number six. Death has the number 13. Albeit death rather would be represented by the Tower. Number 16. So there are 22 cards in a major Arcana. 6+16 is 22. But the cards start with the number 0, the Fool, so they go up to 21. With that, arriving at 22, they are not bound by any fate, whatever they can do now is theirs. But what if it was the Death? 6+13 is 19 - The Sun. Accumulated knowledge. Jim Steinman might not have been aware of that, but the suggestion here is that whatever is to come, if they stick together, they can only accumulate knowledge. They will get to know each other better. The secrets that never can be told will be unraveled, and in the end they will still need to be braver than they are. There could be many more meanings interpreted into this song. But in the end it is a masterpiece of writing, one so fitting for Meat Loaf as a singer that it is nearly a surprise that it wasn't specifically written for him...
I have been blessed to not only meet meatloaf I also had him autograph 2 photos for me and my mother in fact I have a wolf tattooed on my leg saying will you offer your throat w the wolf with the red roses. And next year I’m having his autograph above it tattooed
Bloody awesome Meat...Fell in love all of again the first time I played Braver..And as for you saying he is past his prime-I feel so sorry for you.. Personally i love his older voice
estimado meat loaf un abrazo y gracias por tu voz y al señor de las letras dios qué genialidad los dos primeros bat out the hell son mis tesoros más preciados
This song is like anal sex: Painful and hard to get through, but less so on more attempts. Then it hits you just right and you realize how amazing it is! Some people just don't like anal sex. Also it's a song about anal sex.
If you hear what a lot of people are saying about this album, old and new fans. Listen to as much of it as you can to start with, then after a day or more go back to it, some have found on the second listen they start to not think about how much his voice has changed and realise that HE knows his voice is different and instead of editing or pretending to sing the way he used to, he has adapted his craft and as always found great supporting vocals. Arguably the best part is that Jim is back in the mix too for this one. (Disclaimer: it may take more than two tries but if you are BRAVE enough to listen to it again and again...or maybe you just don't like it.. Thats fine too!)
Dorian McCloud well, there's a reason for everything....... just know that this is a zoomed-in cropped version of what was supposed to be the full video.....
Do you know why? Is it his mobility? I greatly admire his grit and work ethic. Of course I have enjoyed the music for decades. I never knew about Stoney and Meatloaf until recently and have been enjoying that. I find myself wishing he had done a Gospel album in his prime. But that's probably just me.
Rotty - yes Mobility played a huge part in it. He had just had back surgery. Also his daughter was attempting to direct this video and her vision and his vision clashed. So he removed her vision by cropping everything out.
He was a major Trooper- arriving on set at 3 p.m. and staying there all the way till around midnight.... and you could barely walk because of the pain...... so he was seated during the shoot.
