[spoken]:
I remember everything!
I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
I was barely seventeen, and I once killed a boy with a Fender guitar
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster
But I do remember that it had a heart of chrome and a voice like a horny angel
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster
But I do remember that it wasn't at all easy
It required the perfect combination of the right power chords
And the precise angle from which to strike
The guitar bled for about a week afterward
And the blood was ugh dark and rich, like wild berries
The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red
The guitar bled for about a week afterward, but it rung out beautifully
And I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before
So I took my guitar, and I smashed it against the wall
I smashed it against the floor
I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader
Smashed it against the hood of a car
Smashed it against a 1981 Harley Davidson
The Harley howled in pain, the guitar howled in heat
And I ran up the stairs to my parents' bedroom
Mummy and daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
Slowly I opened the door, creeping in the shadows
Right upto the foot of their bed
I raised the guitar high above my head
And just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down
upon the centre of the bed, my father woke up, screaming "Stop!"
"Wait a minute! Stop it boy! What do ya think you're doin'?
That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!"
And I said: "God dammit daddy!
You know I love you, but you got a hell of a lot to learn about rock an' roll"

Jim Steinman (James Richard Steinman) was an American composer, record producer, and pianist born in New York in 1948. Considered one of the pillars of theatrical rock, Steinman distinguished himself for his epic and often grandiose compositions, characterized by memorable melodies and lyrics that explored themes of love, loss, and redemption. His style, defined by some as "the Richard Wagner of rock", has influenced generations of musicians. Steinman achieved international fame in 1977 with the album *Bat Out of Hell* by Meat Loaf, for which he wrote all the songs and also played the keyboards. This album, one of the ten best-selling albums in history, is considered a masterpiece of rock and has consecrated Steinman as one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. Besides collaborating with Meat Loaf, Steinman worked with world-renowned artists such as Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion, and Barbra Streisand. Among his most famous songs are *Paradise by the Dashboard Light*, *Total Eclipse of the Heart*, and *I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)*. Steinman passed away in 2021, leaving behind an immense musical legacy that continues to inspire musicians and music lovers around the world.
