I like Kasim’s work. It’s really pleasant to listen to and the lyrics are always thoughtful. There probably isn’t a hit amongst any of his songs but I get the feeling he already knows that. This particular tune has been in my head all day after I heard it here yesterday for the first time. Can’t blame him for using his medium and talent to express his feelings. Meat Loaf was a complicated guy with no ‘one’ personality. He was unpredictable and impulsive as far as I can tell from my outside perspective… but I still loved his work. Kasim deserves to tell his truth and he has via this song, it was obviously a cathartic process as he appeared online to talk about ML recently and did so with fondness and dignity.
PS yes, Billy Joel!
