Songs I am Currently Enjoying Exhibit I: “I’d Lie For You,” by Meatloaf
I love Meatloaf. Not ironically, not in some higher than way, for real. I really love Meatloaf. Why? His voice is amazing, every single one of his albums is a marvel of high-end production values, and his videos are off the charts excellent. See that video above? Do you see how much stuff happens in it? There are explosions, and motorcycles, and Indiana Jones style artifacts, and a hot babe in some flowy dress.
Pretty much every Meatloaf song is an epic. The sweeping narratives and stirring choruses that characterize his whole catalog suggest the world’s best rock opera ever. My favorite song is probably “Paradise by the Dashboard Light,” but “I’d Lie For You” is still pretty rad.
