If you thought you'd never hear a new Steinman song...
 

...you might be right, but this comes pretty close:

YouTube Video

it sounds like jim? is it jim? did he write it?
its very good

It's not Jim, it's Scaramouche frmo Rockman, who now and them writes songs for the never-happened-batman musical. Go over there for more info on the song.
I think it's just awesome!

:twisted: The piano riff at 1:36 makes it sound like he's going to start singing "Little lady, I know there's something on your mind........." :p

Not a bad song :up:

its a decent song, like i said to rj.

but it doesn't do it for me,

as a steinman song, its a no... (for me)

I was gonna post a link to the song here a few days ago but I wasn't sure there was much point.
I think the song is pure magical. It contains pretty much everything I'd expect from a new Steinman song; clever lyrics, gorgeous melodies and an insane range of dynamics. It's fab.

I loved it :D

thats better then anything thats come out in teh past year. great song. really loved it. Wish the Penguin was featured

btw, if you dont know it yet, check out "I'll decorae this city in ribbons of blood"

I still listen to this song occasionally and have just found it in a downloadable version with better sound quality than in the YouTube video. There are those who made the song that have made it available for download.

Go to this page:

You have to wait 60 seconds before you are able to download it (if you dont have a Premium account at 4shared.com). The file is 13,5 MB and 192 kbps.

There are more information about the song on these pages:

another new song by scaramouche is to be found here: http://www.jimsteinman.com/messageboard/d.php?id=36496

Thanks for sharing :D

I really like this Scaramouche guy and his music... Who is he? From? He is a really talented singer :-)

it's interesting, with tons of steinman cliches, not bad at all

I'm disappointed. I came into this thread on a sudden burst of insane hope that Steinman had somehow put out a couple of amazing new songs together, ones that we'd all fall in love with. Oh well, this works too :D

I love the way he even tries to get the feel of a true Steinman song with the use of lines like 'Well the Future just ain't what it used to be', 'Looks like it's gonna be a dark one tonight,' the Pandora's Box line, the entire title, ect. Awesome song,

Good lord, this song is as close as your going to get isn't it.

Really really really good.

The only thing I didn't like is some of the lyrics were trying a little too hard to be steinman that it sounded more like a tribute to Jim rather than it's own song. Other than that... Absolutely superb.
