很多人以為『肉塊』是個合唱團,這並不正確,因為那其實是一個有著自己樂隊班底的男歌手。
『肉塊』的本名叫做marvin lee aday,1947年的九月二十七日出生於德州的達拉斯,體重超過三百磅,簡直是個龐然大物。由於從小就是這種體型,他的福音歌手父親在他十三歲那年給他取了個『肉塊』的外
號,從此這個有點奇特的名字,就跟他密不可分,甚至成為他的藝名。1966 年組的第一個樂團名為 Meat Loaf Soul,由於 Meat Loaf 獨特的音域及雄混的聲音,立刻引起注意。名與利並未給 Meat Loaf 帶來好運,接下來的十年之中,Meat Loaf 一度因為聲帶問題無法再演唱,因而違約賠光家產還負債累累,Meat Loaf 甚至靠吸毒渡日,樂壇上從此少了這號人物。終於,肉條在妻子及小孩的鼓勵下,戒掉毒癮,變賣掉所有家產,找回當年合作伙伴,一部旅行車,橫越美國,在小酒吧中巡迴演唱,找回失落已久的歌迷。肉條這時聲帶的問題也逐漸獲得解決,雖然在團員中對於音樂風格起了極大爭執,不過為了生活,還是一站一站的唱下去,終於在 1993 年,以這曲 I 'll do anything for love 贏得葛萊美大獎。Meat Loaf 的努力也於 1999 年收入名人堂,而 Meat Loaf 再奮起的故事,也被拍成電影。

Meat Loaf - I'd Lie For You
Forever Young
按這裡欣賞
May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the light that's surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay forever young
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay forever young
Is nothing sacred anymore
按這裡欣賞
If a love as strong as ours
Couldn't make it all the way,
Can anything make sense at all?
If a love so deep and true
Couldn't stand the test of time,
Then mount everest could slide,
And jeruselem could fall.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
If we can say good-bye
Is nothing sacred anymore?
I can hear the final words
Every sentence that was said
Don't know what turned our lives around.
It doesn't matter who was right,
There's no justice in a dream.
Never thought a heart could break
Without making any sound.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
If we can say good-bye
If we can say good-bye
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Our love was as certain as the dawn,
As solid and save as any love could be.
Our love was the star you wished upon,
And you thought that i saved you,
Could've sworn that you saved me.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye...
Is nothing sacred anymore...
Is nothing sacred anymore...
Is nothing sacred anymore...
Because of You
按這裡欣賞
I was so hypnotized by the smile in your eyes today
Flying free as a bird caught inside every word you say
I want everyone to see...
This is big time
This is larger than life
See the sparks fly
When you're standing by my side
Every step, every move, everything I do
Life is beautiful because of you
Every breath that you give
You're my sweet oxygen my friend
You made me follow it fast so my dreams could get past the end
I want everyone to feel...
This is big time
This is larger than life
See the sparks fly when you're standing by my side
When you're standing by my side
Every step, every move, everything I do
Life is beautiful because of you
How did I survive before you came into my life?
Now I'd do anything at all, anything at all
For you
This is big time
This is larger than life
See the sparks fly
When you're standing by my side
Every step, every move, everything I do
Life is beautiful because of you
Seize the Night
按這裡欣賞
Come with me and bless the night
Let the darkness be your salvation
Curse the day - escape the light
Break the chain of imagination
Come with me and seize the night
Now's the time for some inspiration
Leave the day and loose the light
No taboos only new sensations...
In the shadows of the city
A hero's waiting for the call
And all the angels are waking up
And all the devils start to fall
In the shadows of the city
They're dying for a thrill
They're going out over the edge
They're moving in for the kill
You gotta curse the day: it's nothing but a merciless light
So open up your arms and then you get down on your knees
You suck in all the darkness and you're ready now to seize
Seize the night
Seize the night
Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine! [etc.]
Dies irae, Kyrie! Sanctus, Sanctus exultate!
Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last...
Let your dreams out of their cages
Every passion and desire
Let your visions be outrageous
Set your fantasies on fire
Everything will be permitted
There'll be nothing left to fear
I got the magic in your body
Your inhibitions disappear
You gotta curse the day: it's nothing but a merciless light
So open up your arms and then you get down on your knees
You suck in all the darkness and you're ready now to seize
Seize the night
Seize the night
Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine! [etc.]
Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night, memories collide to change the past
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last
Carpe Noctem...
Carpe Noctem...
Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last...
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Sanctus, Sanctus exultate!..
Come with me and bless the night
Let the darkness be your salvation
Curse the day - escape the light
Break the chain of imagination
Come with me and seize the night
Now's the time for some inspiration
Leave the day and loose the light
No taboos only new sensations...
