As a teen in 70's , we knew.

A little context for you, since there are a lot of American euphemisms. This song is about 2 - 17 year old kids making out in a car. So they are trying to get to 'paradise' (having sex) by the dashboard light - the dim light inside the car. The baseball game references how we used to talk about making out. 1st base was a kiss. 2nd base was hands under her shirt. 3rd base was hands down her pants. And home plate is having sex. Going all the way means having sex. So, they are making out, and are just about to have sex when she says "stop right there". She wants to know if he will love her forever if they have sex. He finally breaks and agrees he will love her until the end of time. But then later in the relationship they can't stand each other. So they are praying for the end of time so he won't break his promise, but they can finally get away from each other.
A lot of Meat Loaf songs are like watching a musical. He was an actor and performed on many stages. So his theatrical nature comes out in his music. The Bat Out Of Hell album had 5 hits out of 7 songs, and was one of the best selliing albums of all time. It was also his debut album. Meat Loaf is the man singing in this song. It's his stage name - not the name of a band. Good luck with your new channel!

It starts with "I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday" and ends with "It was long ago, and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today". So they are remembering back to when they were 17 while they are years into their marriage, and I don't know if you got the baseball reference, you laughed during it, but if you didn't, Google "American baseball metaphor used to describe increasing levels of physical intimacy".

My favorite of his is Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad, you'll love it.

Meat Loaf "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" official video 👍

He was such an amazing talent. His music helped define a generation

I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being.
Marvin Lee Aday (Michael)   AKA Meatloaf  your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the decades of memories.

Man that man was theatrical when you said it's like a play it made me smile as I've always thought that too.

You definitely needed a music channel for all of the music request youve been getting. Meatloaf is very theatrical, a great choice to start your music channel off. Congrats on 4000!

If you know Baseball you understand 😜

Remember my brother having this album. The artwork on this album was 🔥 🔥. We jammed to the whole album.

Great to see you reacting to music now. Check out freebird by lynard skynard live at oakland cal. That's perhaps rock and rolls most loved songs
Plus they show the crowd from the 1970s

Meatloaf."I would do anything for love"

Every teenager heard this and said "Holy Wow!", play it again...lol. Great sing and response, and both artists are crushing it.:face-blue-smiling:

The song is all about teenage passion and figuring stuff out.

You may be ready for The Rocky Horror Picture Show - who can tell till you've seen it. A full length musical with appearance and song by Meatloaf.

One of my favourite rock artists ever, Meat Loaf, what a voice, what a singer. This man knew how to give a performance, and he done it in every song he sung, and boy, did he rock the house.

This is Rock Opera, Meatloaf at his most brilliant.. a genre he basically invented. He once said l'm just an actor that can sing, because he got his start in theater doing musicals. That's what he brings, theatrical genius and a wonderful voice.

It's a looking back song. It starts with "I remember every little thing As if it happened only yesterday" and ends with "It was long ago and it was far away And it was so much better that it is today". Glad you enjoyed it.

Rock in the '70's.
