(Finished October 8th, 2018) The Yearning Desire of Jim Steinman's Songs, Part 1

Hello,

Meat Loaf might be the king of so called cock rock or of the adolescent teenage horniness. His songs, so many times, are about libidinous youth. While there is a lot of love and sex, more sex honestly, there is also a lot of yearning in his music. Even when Steinman's characters get what they want, they don't want it for long like in "Paradise By The Dashboard Light".

On November 30th a special friend and I will be going to the "Jim Steinman's Bat Out of Hell The Musical" and I'm very excited, that's a lot of great songs. It should be a fun night.

Act One

  • "Love and Death and an American Guitar" – Strat
  • "All Revved Up with No Place to Go / The Opening of the Box / Everything Louder Than Everything Else / If It Ain't Broke, Break It" – Strat, Falco, Ledoux, Jagwire and Company
  • "Who Needs the Young?" – Falco and Sloane
  • "Out of the Frying Pan (And Into the Fire)" – Strat, Ledoux, Blake, Tink and Company
  • "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" – Zahara and Jagwire
  • "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" – Falco, Sloane and Company
  • "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" – Strat and Raven
  • "Bat Out of Hell" – Strat, Raven and Company

Act Two:

"Bat Out of Hell":



"Don't You Look At Me Like That":


"Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back":

What about love? It's defective! 
It's always breakin' in half.
What about sex? It's defective!
It's never built to really last.


"Revved Up and No Place To Go":


"I'm Gonna Love Her For The Both Of Us":



"Paradise By The Dashboard Light":



"It Just Won't Quit":



"What About Love":



"Two Out of Three Ain't Bad":



"Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere)":
