About the song 'More'
There is a line in More, when the character in the song says, "Broken hearts are the devil's playground, I'm not done yet!"
Would this be Meat's way of saying there's more of the symphony left? More of the recording left? Or he has a few more songs or films he wanna do? It's a very specific lyric and haven't heard Meat or Steinman comment on the song itself. |

Well, the lyric before Meat recorded the song was as follows:
Quote:
The new lyrics (which I'm not super keen on, but hey, it takes all kinds of people) re-cast it in a blatantly sexual context, positing the singer as the devil at play, considering he goes on to talk about "counterfeit lovers" and "a virtual orgy." He doesn't care whose heart he breaks 'on the playground,' he doesn't want real love, he just wants "more" -- again, at any cost. |

regardless, I have been craving more Meat lately. I think several of us have Who knows if we'll ever see any. The pandemic probably makes it difficult to record traditionally and I'm not sure how well Meat could do it remotely without help. Maybe hire a team?

I think this belongs in a different thread?

"More of the recording left? Or he has a few more songs or films he wanna do?"
I was responding to the OPs comment about more Meat Loaf content. I didn't want to get into this, but - lest my contribution be deemed off topic by a mod, I shall engage: I like the song, but I want more. |
