Again, I have to reference the review I initially wrote of this album:

Quote:

This is the song that stopped me cold in my tracks. As someone who suffers from depression himself, this song was really needed. From the gentle piano to the emphasis Meat Loaf puts in his articulation of every word he sings on this song – simple perfection. Simply put, in these days of bullying being taken to such extremes that people are killing themselves and from the insight of knowing how suicidal thoughts simply take control of your life, this song needs to be sung. I know how my depression affects my friends and family and hearing it vocalized was very powerful. This song will be my “it gets better” anthem.

This song is right up there in content with either Objects or Left In The Dark. However, this song is written succinctly and directly to leave no room for completely unnecessary metaphor. There are times when days of wine and roses are okay, and there are times when a writer must simply state what the intent of the message is. The power of the music, the passion in the voice, and the simplicity of just laying the message out there without having to rely upon having to repeat a line dozens of times over and over again to beat the point into the listeners mind is very refreshing to hear in a Meat Loaf song.

8 - lovely atmospheric and anthemic chorus, and a good dramatic setup.

My first thought about this song - What a waste of such an awesome chorus

The chorus is amazing, a very powerful and emotional vocal with great music. It's one of those moments where you think "WOAH!"

I just feel that the in between parts don't live up to the standard of the chorus as well as they should (the chorus is fecking amazing

).
I like a good slow burn into a big chorus, but I don't think the lead up is burning enough to keep me rapt. It's almost the same "meh" feeling as listening to Man And A Woman. Perhaps that's why the chorus is so effective, because it really jumps out at you.

Even with the drag factor it's worth an easy 7 (could easilly have scored higher)
