81. Because Of You
 
This is the START OUT OF HELL & ARRIVE TO HEAVEN topic.
Let's Go to Rock 'n' Roll!!!!!!

Because Of You (6)

I can't say more than it's a very average soft rock song of these times. I can't find excellent parts in lyrics and melody. Good, but anyone would sing it. The lyrics and the entire song is very short. Who is the muse? I know Meat has a "new" girlfriend. Is it about her?

My score: 6


Average: 8.32 (141.5/17)

Now i actually really like this one :D

Could be because hubby knows Steve Balsamo, who wrote it, but not just cos of that - i think Meat sounds good on this - this one would definately make the best single should it be released as such - i think it would appeal to most as it leans towards the 'pop' (or should that be 'poop' :lol: ) sound of today, and i think it would appeal to a wider audience for sure.

I give this a 8.5/10

If this song ever gets released over here in Holland as a single, and with a decent amount of promotion, I could see that it would be a hit to some degree. Not chart-topping, but somewhere between 10-20 should be doable.

Middle-of-the-roadish, upbeat chorus, and yeah, I kinda like it. 7.5/10.

Think it would make a good single.

See the sparks fly, Yes!

Its a different type of song for Meat. I don't think it should be released as a single since there's better songs than BOY on the album. Pretty average song for me.

5/10

Because of You - so similiar to somehing else, but I do not know what!

Great lyrics by Rick Jude and Steve Balsamo, guitar playing superb, chorus has fabulous hook

10/10

Not one of my favourite tracks on the album.

I have some problem with the sentimentality of the song - "everything is wonderful and it is all because of you"! Get me the bucket please I am always jokingly saying when I listen to this song.

However there is some superb guitar playing which saves the song for me.

My score 6 out of 10

Iagree with that Dottie,every time i hear it i think it reminds me of something
Really like the lyrics to this one particularly the first line
" Iwas so hypnotised by the smile in your eyes today.."

It may sound sappy, but it's how I feel about my wife.
A love song that hits the nail squarely on the head.

I give this one a 10/10

As soon as my fiance and I heard this song we thoughT This song has to be 1 of the 3 songs that we have as our first dance songs at our wedding on Saturday 11 September 2004. WE LOVE IT!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

I really like this song. I give it 9.5/10

Gez 01 Nov 2003 18:38

Good song but agree maybe not an instant success.

7/10 only because Meat makes the song sound good!!

RSG 03 Nov 2003 05:04

Ya, it is a great song. My favourite part, would be the "How did I survive?" part. That really got me into the song. It came at the right part in the song, right after the brilliant guitar solo. I would rate this song 9.5/10.

(I also love that first part) I was so hypnotized.....

Excellent.

Louise 14 Nov 2003 18:14

I absolutely love this song and my two year old son is even learning the words to it!

I love the lyrics in this song, a great love song and meat singing it what more could a girl ask for? :oops: again 10/10

LostSoul 28 Dec 2003 08:06

It's one of these songs once you hear it you have this deja vu feeling... but it sounds great and the melody carves on your mind!!

Not one of my favorites but it HAS just to be there! :wink:

7/10

Mr Loaf 08 Mar 2004 13:37

This is my favourite song on the album

10/10

Lizziebaby 08 Mar 2004 20:59

Everytime I hear this song I think it should be played as end credit music to a romance/comedy film. Love the intro - as soon as I hear it I smile. This song makes me feel good, especially driving home from work after a busy day 9.5/10

Skeleton 24 Apr 2004 02:04

Because of you means a lot to me especially the first line. I really was hypnotized someones eyes. And Iīm still, he knows this but he donīt like me that much. Love the lyrics and melody.

10/10

RadioMaster 08 Jul 2006 11:29

Just one of the common happy-to-be-in-love songs, the provocation of the feeling is better done than other songs of this style.

sunneke 08 Jul 2006 23:46

this is a perfect song, i'm crazy about it

mszee 09 Jul 2006 01:20

I should be more crytical about this song because it is so NOT Meat Loaf...but...there is something very uplifting among all that sappiness...so...

8/10
