I’m feel over stressed and under appreciated. I guess we’ll see how much more I can take.

[burtsmithers]

Ok. I’ve had enough.

I guess I’m just old. A baby boomer. Communism ….Growing up I heard better dead than red. I’ve got a grandfather and multiple uncles that fought for this. I know they are rolling over in their graves trying to get out..,, if they can see where this country is headed.

98M+ VIEWS – PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT – MEAT LOAF

“PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT” IS A ROCK DUET PERFORMED BY MEAT LOAF AND ELLEN FOLEY, WRITTEN BY JIM STEINMAN.

IT WAS RELEASED IN 1977 AS PART OF THE ALBUM BAT OUT OF HELL.

THE SONG IS NOTABLE FOR ITS UNIQUE STRUCTURE, COMBINING A NOSTALGIC TEENAGE LOVE STORY WITH A BASEBALL PLAY-BY-PLAY COMMENTARY BY PHIL RIZZUTO.

SONG STRUCTURE

THE SONG IS DIVIDED INTO SEVERAL DISTINCT PARTS:

1. TEENAGE ROMANCE

THE NARRATIVE BEGINS WITH A YOUNG COUPLE REMINISCING ABOUT THEIR PASSIONATE TEENAGE ROMANCE.

THEY RECALL A NIGHT SPENT TOGETHER, FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT AND YOUTHFUL INNOCENCE.

2. BASEBALL COMMENTARY

PHIL RIZZUTO’S PLAY-BY-PLAY COMMENTARY ADDS A HUMOROUS LAYER, USING BASEBALL METAPHORS TO DESCRIBE THE COUPLE'S ROMANTIC ESCAPADES.

THIS SECTION FEATURES DOUBLE ENTENDRES THAT PLAYFULLY LINK BASEBALL ACTIONS TO ROMANTIC SITUATIONS.

3. COMMITMENT AND REGRET

THE CLIMAX OF THE SONG REVEALS THE COUPLE’S CURRENT DISILLUSIONMENT WITH THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

THEY EXPRESS REGRET AND A LONGING FOR THE PAST, CULMINATING IN A POWERFUL DUET ABOUT THE CHALLENGES OF COMMITMENT.

THE SONG HAS BECOME A CLASSIC ROCK STAPLE, CELEBRATED FOR ITS THEATRICALITY AND EMOTIONAL DEPTH.

IT SHOWCASES MEAT LOAF’S POWERFUL VOCALS AND STEINMAN’S DRAMATIC SONGWRITING, MAKING IT A DEFINING PIECE OF 1970S ROCK MUSIC.
