“You know I think I heard that Jim Steinman wrote this,” I say.
Jodi gives me a bit of a blank look, she knows the name but isn’t making the connection.
“He’s the guy that wrote Meat Loaf’s songs. Once you know that, you can kind of tell. The dramatics of the songs are similar.”
“Yeah, I think I read that Meat Loaf passed on this. What’s the name of the woman singing this?” Jodi throws out a name that’s not right, but escapes my mind now.
Of course, I am sunsetting a bit, too. I spent the afternoon on our deck in the sun putting on water sealer. I followed that by walking the dog, and then took a bath to help an achy back from shuffling around on the hard deck boards all afternoon.
“Oh, she’s Canadian. Does “It’s a Heartache,” too. … Bonnie Tyler.”
“Oh yeah,” Jodi says.
We’ve shifted from out dining room table, finishing up the dishes. I know that I need to blog after this. Jodi wants to put some fertilizer on our hay field. She thinks she can handle it on her own.
“You know, I bet there have been some great karaoke renditions of this song,” I say. “Get a few drinks in people, it probably gets pretty fun.”
Jodi agrees. We finish the dishes. She heads outside, and I go to the computer.
