back to me

Description

LYRICS [Boy:] There were nights when the wind was so cold That my body froze in bed if I just listened to it right outside the window [Girl:] There were days when the sun was so cruel That all the tears turned to dust and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever [Both:] I finished crying in the instant that you left And I can't remember where or when or how And I banished every memory you and I have ever made [Boy:] But when you touch me like this (touch me like this) And you hold me like that (hold me like that) I just have to admit that it's all coming back to me When I touch you like this (touch you like this) And I hold you like that (hold you like that) It's so hard to believe but it's all coming back to me now [Girl:] It's all coming back It's all coming back to me now [Boy:] There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light There were things I'd never do again but then they'd always seemed right There were nights of endless pleasure It was more than any laws allow-baby, baby! If I kiss you like this (kiss you like this) And if you whisper like that (whisper like that) It was lost long ago but it's all coming back to me If you want me like this (if you want me like this) And if you need me like that (if you need me like that) It was dead long ago but it's all coming back to me It's so hard to resist and it's all coming back to me I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now.... But you were history with the slamming of the door And I made myself so strong again somehow And I never wasted any of my time on you since then! But if I touch you like this (touch you like this) And if you kiss me like that (kiss me like that) It was so long ago but it's all coming back to me If you touch me like this (touch me like this) And if I kiss you like that (kiss you like that) It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me now [Girl:] It's all coming back It's all coming back to me now [Boy:] There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light There were things we'd never do again but they'd always seemed right There were nights of endless pleasure It was more than all your laws allow-baby, baby, baby! When you touch me like this (touch me like this) And when you hold me like that (hold me like that) It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me When you see me like this (see me like this) And when I see you like that (see you like that) Then we see what we want to see-all coming back to me The flesh and the fantasies-all coming back to me I can barley recall, but it's all coming back to me now.... If you forgive me all this (forgive me all this) If I forgive you all that (forgive you all that) We forgive and forget and it's all coming back to me now [Girl:] It's all coming back to me now [Boy:] We forgive and forget [Both:] And it's all coming back to me now.... Der Komponist und Wagner-Liebhaber Jim Steinman konzipierte den typischen theatralisch-bombastischen Meat Loaf-Stil als Mischung aus dem Rock n Roll der 1950er und Artrock, einer Spielart des Progressive Rock der 1970er. Häufig werden auch, wegen des doch starken Richard-Wagner-Bezugs, die Begriffe „Rock Opera oder „Wagnerian Rock („Wagner-Rock) gebraucht. Vom Rock n Roll kommt das meist sehr rasche Tempo der Songs sowie die Besetzung eines Klaviers zu der ansonsten im Hard Rock gebräuchlichen Zusammenstellung E-Gitarre solistisch (derer meist zwei), E-Bass und Schlagzeug. Das Klavier spielt meist das harmonische Gerüst. Vom Artrock kommen die Anlehnungen an die Klassik, so die überdimensionale Länge der Stücke, die zwischen fünf und 15 Minuten beträgt, die Verwendung von Leitmotiven, die ständigen Tempo-, Dynamik- und Instrumentationswechsel, (es gibt Stellen, in denen nur Klavier und Sänger spielen bzw. singen, wohl in Anlehnung an das Kunstlied) und vor allem die Texte, die häufig sehr dramatisch sind. Ein Beispiel hierfür bietet der Solo-Track Heaven can wait, mit dem Meat Loaf einen Grammy gewann. ...
