SOTD #140

Today’s song is For Crying Out Loud by Meatloaf

I’m in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there’s a border to somewhere waiting
And there’s a tankful of time
Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day
And take me to another land where I don’t have to stay

And I’m gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud
You know I love you

From that all time classic Bat Out Of Hell, this track starts off slow - just Mr Aday and a piano - but gradually builds (as do all the best Steinman tracks) into an operatic tour-de-force. The lyrics are almost secondary; what’s important is the emotion that comes through from the musical arrangement and that legendary voice.
