At NEC 2003 Did I say That was one of the highlight. After the amazing version of Frying Pan, it was a total contrast and he sang it perfectly.
As a recording, I listen to it, but I find it an awkward song, the start and the end don't seem to be right together, and it would have been difficult to edit it to say 3 1/2 mins to produce an effective single.
Man of Steel was the wrong song to launch as a single ( UK 2003 ) and it didn't do well at all, Meat was ill anyway and couldn't have promoted it.
Testify or Love you out loud would have been much better choices. Meat Loaf is famed for long, theatrical music, BOOH, AFL, ILFY, CHSIB, epic love between man and woman songs.
He's a big man who sings big songs. Maybe chasing chart single successes isn't where his appeal lies.
