Meat Loaf - Objects In The Rear View Mirror (May Appear Closer Than They Are)

[Alpha579]

This is simply awesome! It seemed like he died while singing this song ...

[CamaroAmx]

I've been listening to Meatloaf since i was a little kid. My dad had Bat Out Of Hell on record (which I now have). I bought Bat 2 when it came out. The 1st verse reminds me a bit of my late twin brother (but he died far earlier in life then the freind in the song).

[MrMichaelpatock]

3 are deaf or just no humans without feelings... the reason why we have problems and troubles around....these 3 most be soldiers or politicians! this is one of the best songs ever sang and written.Greets from germany

[MetalFreak2000]

Now why can't the friggin pop "stars" today do this? Why can't they sing their music the way they record it on the albums? Meat Loaf is a legend and he proves it here. His voice is just as great and powerful as it is on the album.

[99jjbjones]

Beautiful. This is the best song Meat ever sang.

[Sosnowski85]

Best live version ever, of this phenomenal track!

[41526004]

perfect job! meat the god of sex and drums and rock n roll \m/

[alexeifel1]

wow.... direkt ins Herz direkt in die Seele..... die Übersetzung zum Text erklärt warum es so ist!

[TheJonnyblade]

[TheJonnyblade]

@Maddy19997 ... excuse it....wish my German was half as good!!!

[deboz65]

[cacia247]

[PumuckelOnTheRoad]

More than 35 years since my brother died.Yet every time I hear this song it seems like only yesterday.

RIP little brother

[menni2006]

Sadly, my Boxes can´t get any louder.

[DatMagJoostWeten]

This is not only one of the best songs ever written, it is more than a song!

Thank you, Meat Loaf, for this greatness...

[10cfee]

[cornholio1281]

[cornholio1281]

if i catch someone who pressed "don´t like it" i will tell how it feels if you got a totally wasted youth and the only friend you could ever count on DIES!!!

[klauskinskifan1fy]

one of the greatest songs of all times. his videos are like cinema-productions, great. great. great.

[mytbesa]

|Stuff I Would Do Anything... I cried.

[pss53]

The greatest song ever written...

[1hungrigerHugo1]

why is he trembeling so hard in the end?

[WhatR2D2Saw]

@1hungrigerHugo1 He's hungry.

[wayofnorth]

@1hungrigerHugo1 This is one of few times that Meat Loaf sang the second verse live. It reminded him to much of his own childhood. Actually Jim wrote this song to Meat Loaf based on real events from Meat Loafs life.

[kevinpouw]

WHO THE HELL HIT THE DISLIKE BUTTON ??? U A FOOL ??? NO TASTE FOR MUSIC ???

[GANGSTAELPASO]

shut up girl, trying to listen to meatloaf!

[youngelvisnightowls]

whats the real meaning of this song?? did his friend die or was that coz of the video....did jim write it coz someone died???? im using it as a tribute to my brother like friend......

[corneliu2007]

@youngelvisnightowls it's Meat life story

[Terrorkruemel00]

Tanz der Vampire ♥

[Loewenzahnloewe]

Ohhh.... so wonderful..."Many tks for this song"

[PantherP74]

Meat Loaf is TWO WORDS. Shame on you "fans" who write "meatloaf."

[youngelvisnightowls]

@PantherP74 just a stage name

[am2boni]

One of the most beautiful songs by Meatloaf!

[bbchp]

Meat loaf is one of the greatest live proformers ever if not the best!!!

[youngelvisnightowls]

[blauundweiss1957]

No words. Amazing. So great. Greetings from Germany.

[federico1636]

Just Amazing!!!!! 

[MrOscarMozz]

I love that song so much, I was in 1993 at a concert in stuttgart/germany. Oh god it seems so very far....

[steevyp]

I want that piano!

[steevyp]

we where racing we where soldiers of fortune, we got in trouble but we sure got around,

There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark

I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground...

...but it was long ago and it was far away, oh god it seems so very far,

and if life is just a highway, then my soul is just a car...

...and objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are!

[kerivam123]

If anyone has seen the film Meatloaf. This is very much a story about his life, specially the bit about his father. You can tell by the way he sings this that it means a lot to him.

[deckerhand12]

You can tell he puts all his feeling in to his songs and it shows great vid

[johnny0jon]

Cozy powell on drums? Or am I going blind?

[avnishsabitha]

[tuesdayyyCSS1337]

[gernebrodt]

simply great...

[Rza5675]

...PERFECTION!!! And the lady leaves me speechless!!!

[Dreamtheater1928prog]

That really was his peak, the Mid 90's. Love it.

schweinegeiler song 

[chrismcdonald16602]

i think this is the only video i seen on youtube with more then a 100 likes and no dislikes because what is there to dislike meat best singer ever Jim Steinman best righter ever

[aaronhewett]

Such a talented man. I'm extremely excited to finish my cover of this now! I can see how he has killed his voice, I've already done it several times on this track!

[WolfKillerLestat]

meat at his best

[nedkellygirl]

Straight to the heart. Truly amazing..

[jtnet3]

Meatloaf: Your music will sell 100,000's of records each year long after we are gone. That is a beautiful thing. Your music is not only underrated, it is truly timeless. God Bless!

[RightInTheCankle]

This is an example of an artist with great talent. It's a shame the music industry has spiraled so far down that there's nothing even close to being this dynamic in modern-day music. It's all cookie-cutter melodies and beats driven by terrible auto-tune effects now. Go to any modern artist concert and you will not find a display of talent like this.

[sfjessii]

One of the best songs ever written.

[spirituk1]

the vid is perfect for the song

[iridreams]

i love the part 5:45-7:05

thank you, thehungrypony!!

:)

[rockharz666]

Let's give them a song: We would do anything for you:)..

[danger0u5]

A performance doesn't get much more passionate and heart felt than that. Simply incredible

[SweetMusicalfan]

Wonderful!!!  This melody is also part of the musical "Tanz der Vampire" ( dance of the vampires )! In the german version its called "Die unstillbare Gier"....!!! You can find it here on Youtube if you like!!! Different ...but also Great!!! I like both very much... :-)

[caroon4]

This song is the best EVER. Sad part of this song is that it is meatloaf's younger history, but it is so nice to hear some real music. Keep singing Meat

[davesuk999]

haven't listened to this for years, but what a great song, VH1 legend.

[Meatynya]

My second favourite song!!

[IzzyOnGuitar]

Pure emotion apearing to be a human voice... Absolutly amazing!

[stansgone]

I love this man. He has inspired me with his music. Keep rockin' Meat

[Beckikaze]

No one, really no one can deliver such a performance he did in those years. Dramatich, energetic - Meat Loaf is the greatest and only true rock star he have!!! Maybe some day we will all look back and the majority out there will notice that music can be much more than naked girls in video clips. -.-

[wildhoppycat55]

THIS IS MUSIC not 2day's crap. I miss songs like this

[Anais1981]

Stunning performance! I can´t get tired of it!=)

[Calane248]

AMAZING! I just love it!

[cidudefive]

incredible,the reason i love meat and bat 2

[Kazzaron]

Erinnert mich an sehr viel.

Das Leben ist so wie er es singt.

Sehr guter Song.

[cinnievriendinnie]

Thank you so much for putting this up. I love it. I'm gonna watch this again and again and again......

[cinnievriendinnie]

This is just such an amazing preformance, just wauw!

[cinnievriendinnie]

beautiful!

[iwannici]

Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman together are unbelieveble amazing

[21niry]

Perfection. Probably the best song ever made perfomed by the best singer ever lived. What more can a man ask for. We have to be greatful for the fact that someone put Jim Steiman together with Meatlof.

[PCSongman]

@21niry Couldn't agree with you more. Perhaps the finest combination of a songwriter and a singer that there has ever been.
