couldn't agree more

nenad sadikovic I'm with you there

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.

I agree! I would rather listen to him any day than anyone else I can think of.

Ich hab die ganze Zeit überlegt woher ich die Melodie kenne :D

Ja Jim Steinman klaut am liebsten bei sich selbst 😁

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

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 hoped they were going to feature in the video , Karla is gorgeous !

he got old but is still great

i love this song ;)

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!)
