Sorry for posting a thread about this when I posted about in a separate thread, but I just had to see what others in the RWED thought about this song.... and hopefully hear that I introduced such a great song to others. I just heard it in all of it's glory this morning and I really think the song is that great... even though it's about 6-7 months old, I still think I couldn't be the last to hear it and would love to hear what people in the RWED have to say about it, positive or negative......

Disclaimer.... I am not a fan of 99% of Country/Western songs in the first place, and even though Taylor Swift is a porcelain Goddess, her looks aren't enough to make me change my musical tastes that drastically.

This Ain't Country.... I don't know what the hell to call it........

At the same time, if Taylor has evolved and this is the caliber music sonically and lyrically we can grow to expect from her, she's got my vote.

It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard......

Ah, I remember the angst of young emotions. No, at this stage of my life it doesn't speak to me.

Back then my tastes about the topic ran to this:

NO.....

NO.... NOoo..... Nooooooooo Noooooooooooooooooooooooo......

Don't do that 1kiki!!!!!

If you saw what I posted in other threads I shouldn't even be affected by this song myself either....!!!!!

It turns out that I'm probably younger than a lot of the regular posters in here, but I'm much more closed minded about music than most.

Please listen to it again... listen to it a few times. I was hooked on the first listen, even though I couldn't hear the words and didn't know what I was listening to.

I'll break even in the middle with you and admit to a song that I love that would put 99 percent of my generation into a full blown coma....



I remember my Winnie the Pooh nightlight while listening to this type of music to go to sleep after my parents read "The Berinstean Bears" stories to me before they tucked me in.... before they turned into cancer....

You have to remember that I grew up nearly two generations before you were born - it was a different time, with a different time-horizon. Everyone was a country mouse even if they came from a city, compared to your generation.

I first heard it at university, sitting on the steps with a couple other students and cramming for a medical biochemistry exam. I have to say it was a glorious spring day, and the two women who were friends of mine were great company with lots of interesting things to say in between frantic pagings through the textbook.

Hehe.....

I'm only a 1979 kid.....

I'm neither new or young.......


Sure.... my first exposure to Meatloaf, tragically, was "I Would Do Anything For Love".....



To this day, I look at the teenage freaks that dress up for Rocky in disdain, but I know I would have rocked that had I been born into that culture....

I think you might only have been one and a half generations before me at most lol....

I'm swimming between "dead" Nirvana and "dead" 2Pac....

I hate my generation.....

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)


Y'all's exposure to Meat Loaf is only limited to him as a performer. He didn't write any of those songs of his that were so popular. For those, you have to thank Jim Steinman, his longtime collaborator and songwriter.

He also wrote "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", along with Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing At All".

Go figure...

I like the lyrics and do credit the writer.

I find Meatloaf as a presence intensely unattractive. But as a singer, he makes sense of the lyrics in a defining way for me. His singing sets my expectations for those songs so strongly I'm not sure any other performance would unseat them.

Plus it's a time-of-life thing. The three of us were all older students who had got where we were by 'non-traditional' pathways. It was an uncertain, intense, but hopeful time.

Just as I associate "Taking Care of Business" with a summer working the hottest, dirtiest, nastiest, most mind-numbing assembly-line job ever; and "Rubberband Man" with working overnight as a waitress; and "Baker Street" with driving home after working overnight at the hospital; I associate "2 out of 3" with sitting on the steps and cramming for an exam in good company on a wonderful spring day.

Wow Kwick....

He really wrote...

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" and Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", along with Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing At All".

Those are two of three of my favorite songs ever... (Shhhhhhhh... don't tell my friends). I really loved one of Celine Dion's songs too, but it wasn't one of those three.....

Total Eclipse of the Heart:



I can't believe the songs teens listen to today when they could be listening to songs like this for love inspiration.

Making Love out of Nothing at All:



Not only the perfect relationship song, but the perfect regret song when a relationship has died. Not a single song on the market today that can speak to a broken heart for any reason like this one does.




And goddamed if Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me" didn't sound like Meatloaf down to every beat on the piano....

I was just a bigger fan of Her "To Love You More"..... Something about that violin that got me. I couldn't listen to much of her music without it, and I can't listen to much violin music without her voice, but it was one of the most beautiful songs ever made, whoever wrote it.....






EDITED TO ADD:

"Who's Air Supply"..... :(

I'm 33 years old...

I have grey hairs peeking out on the temples.

I f'king love this song.

Most people my age or older automatically dismiss it as crap...

Just like my parents did to me when I was 8 years old, the oldest brother/cousin in my entire family of 26 in my generation....

Fortunately, for all of us, myself and all of them, I was the "good guy" back when I had influence on all of them...

Overall, aside from my dumbass bro and I, you've probably never seen a group of 24 others that didn't do drugs and collectively made examples of others who did.

It's seriously that bad....

There is only 3 of them out of 23 I talk to, to this day.

I came from a family that is so competitive that even my female cousins would cut my nuts off on cable TV to further their position in life in an anti-pot ad if I stood still log enough.

Hehe.... Happy Hunting ladies :)


I don't fault them at all. As fucked up as my parents were, I'm sure their parents must have been that fucked up in other ways to get into my business that deep.

Honestly, until "Mary Kate and Ashlee" got up in my face about my "indulgences", I hadn't given them either a second thought for at least 5 years since Pappy's funeral.




No doubt about it though, old folk, something weird is going on....

If any of you had to spend one night listening to 15 minutes of what goes on at a 19-25 year old party these days..... you'd totally want in.

I have to admit I like that other song that I hear all the time at the Mart about Taylor having more relationship troubles. I have to laugh at the same time because for every one guy who gives her any trouble there have to be a hundred thousand who would be her doormat.

Here's another song I can't get enough of at work. I can't believe I like it because it's so far out of my "norm", but at least I get to hear it about once a night in between 200 other really bad songs.



I'm pretty sure you can get behind that one Kwick. This next one is probably not your speed. It's hardly my speed these days. I hear this one every night too. Parts of it reminded me of Rob Zombie and parts reminded me of the Gorillaz, but I knew short of them doing a mash-up it had to be somebody else. Here's LMAFO....



Funny story.... When I asked my friend at work who the hell did this song he told me about when his mom picked up the phone when a customer called (she works the day shift). Some guy called in asking if we carried the "Laughing My Fu---ing Ass Off" CD because his daughter really wanted it.

Spelling it out for the old folks? Way to keep it classy bro.....
