Songs wrote by Meat... List

Kev · 25 Mar 2006, 00:41

Co-wrote should be included too... :)

RSG · 25 Mar 2006, 00:50

Say wha....?

Pudding · 25 Mar 2006, 04:11

You can go to bmi.com and look up what he's written. How up to date and accurate it is, is anyone's guess. But Meats admitted himself that he's no songwriter but was under contract to produce some songs for an album, here's what he's creditted with:

1. BLIND BEFORE I STOP
2. KEEP DRIVING
3. MAGICAL
4. MIDNIGHT AT THE LOST AND FOUND
5. ONE MORE KISS
6. RAZOR S EDGE

According to the credits on the albums:

Razor's Edge (Steve Buslowe / Paul Christie / Meat Loaf / Mark Doyle)
Midnight At The Lost And Found (Steve Buslowe / Paul Christie / Meat Loaf / Dan Peyronel)
Keep Driving (Paul Christie / Paul Jacobs / Meat Loaf)
You Never Can Be Too Sure About The Girl (Steve Buslowe / Meat Loaf)
Lost Love (Steve Buslowe / Meat Loaf)
Execution Day (Meat Loaf / Dick Wagner)
One More Kiss (Night Of The Soft Parade) (Meat Loaf / John Golden)
Blind Before I Stop (Meat Loaf / John Golden / Paul Christie)
Runnin' For The Red Light (I Gotta Life) (Harry Vanda / George Young / Patti Russo / Meat Loaf / Sarah Durkee)

and then you have Magical, which I think he co-wrote with John Parr.

What on earth is 'Magical'???

**Diane** · 25 Mar 2006, 12:38

"Magical" was co-written by John Parr and Meat. John Parr recorded it on his self-titled album and there's also a version by Bucks Fizz.

Although not credited with it on the CD, Meat said he wrote the words to Decadent Wish, which is imo a cracking song .. shame they didn't release it in the UK

He also said on Storyteller's that he Steinman wanted to put Bat out at four minutes but he wrote the rest.

Caryl

Absolutely could not agree more!

evil nickname · 26 Mar 2006, 20:56

Seems like I've forgotten one: RPM (Meat Loaf / John Golden)

And for Meat co-writing Decadent Wish... it's possible, where it not that the lyrics of the demo version that is/was available on one of the songwriters' website are almost identical to Meat's version. Only the last line of the pre-chorus and the bridge are different.

It could be suspected that comment was made with humourous intent...

Mick Loaf · 27 Mar 2006, 02:33

Lotus96 is right, Steinman has always fought the shortening of his songs.
In Meat's autobiography it tells just how badly Jim took the attempts to
shorten his songs (and rightly so!).

I agree - Meat always jokes about this (and most other things really).

All the above songs are at the lower end of the scale. I'd nearly even say forgettable...

L96 · 02 Apr 2006, 03:37

I agree, nearly.

MATLAF is a bopper, it gets me through work, and Keep Driving has become a personal anthem.

The rest are "filler" music as such, used to break up 400,000 plays of BOOH in the playlist.

ChloeLee88 · 02 Apr 2006, 11:49

i quite like all these songs....just me!

Space Monkey · 02 Apr 2006, 17:13

I was under the impression he co-wrote 'Wolf At Your Door' too.

Jaymze · 02 Apr 2006, 17:40

Yeah I'm sure he did, Meat said it was a song about the turbulent times he was going through in the 80s when he was repeatidly being sued and victimised- I'm glad he didn't adopt a helpless, victim mentality. He's got a true fighting spirit for not only giving up and turning back to drugs but instead fighting through it and coming out the other end with a number 1 in 28 countries and a platinum selling album.

"Wolf At Your Door" is credited to Steve Buslowe and Leslie Aday on the LP.
