We're Still the Children... By Jim Steinman (Batman Musical)

[@TheBluesJester]

For me... One of the GREATEST Songwriters in The World....Its YOU..Mr Steinman.. You Really Are... Ive been there ..from the Start... and the "Bad for Good" times...and all the other Music Moments... Dont get me wrong.. But.. Youre A God..

[@kankova2005]

How can this man write so many out-of-this-world-beautifully songs ? Like a miracle. Wish Bonnie Tyler would release an album with all this unreleased Jim Steinman-pearls.

[@moomin96]

Yeah, I've always thought Bonnie was way better than Meat Loaf. Jim should have written more songs for her. She's still in good shape I think, so it would actually not be that bad of an idea.

[@spiraljoe1273]

Lyrically this is musical-perfect. Pure perfection. Jim deserves awards for this one. It should be recorded by Meat Loaf.....would be a brilliant marriage of singer ang song.

[@suedohnymnsue_nora_later2372]

Just listened to this again and can’t stop sobbing…

[@YouLikeKrabbyPattiesDontYou]

God this almost brought me to tears.

[@MattWhitingsEurope]

I always imagined this as the final track on a Steinman written, produced and arranged Bat out of Hell III album - sadly it was not to be. Steinman wrote some amazing stuff for the Batman musical, I don't think any of it has seen the light of day (except for the demos). What a terrible shame. This track is best listened to in the kind of complete darkness only the middle of the night can bring.

[@Ornthebutcher]

Hauntingly beautiful

jim wrote beauty

[@MattyBoy7777]

Jim Steinman is a genius!

[@blasabb]

Love it! I sure hope they bring this project back to life. It´s really great

[@julietreanor9245]

Ah that made me cry !! 💔

[@tonyvideos5]

Incredible. Who agrees?

[@kingrick5494]

Why doesn't Jim Steinman release music all on his own; write, produce, sing. He doesn't need musicals, or other singers. This song is beautiful just as it is, all on it's own.

[@Kowasi]

King Rick He tried it in 1981 with the Bad for Good album… then in 1987 with the Pandora's Box album, albeit with four female singers instead of himself. Then, unless I'm mistaken, he has a live outfit called the Dream Engine… perhaps it's fair to say that the influence of the first Bat Out of Hell album is so great that many are only interested when Meat Loaf is also on board. With Meat's apparent retirement, I imagine Jim has a lot riding on the Bat Out of Hell musical…

[@frankcastle7391]

beautiful

[@johnhammond9126]

You know when he says “Take me home” at the end he’s telling Batman to take him back to Arkham. Chills.

[@Steinfan1978]

R U kidding me??? That's the best line in the song!!! And yes... he can march me in any time!!! :)

[@aaroncampos5439]

Holy shit. This is actually good, unlike what I heard from the Spider-Man musical.

[@shamanite]

These lyrics make me cry T_T

[@WhiskeyBrewer]

One of like 3 or 4 Steinman songsthat havent had a big release on an album. A shame as its a great tune

[@richardbowler405]

when I watched the pilot for Gotham, this song got into my head when it got to the part where Selena saw Bruce Wayne's parents murdered.

[@robertsteinman4417]

RIP Daddy

[@LoganTocker]

I WISH THERE WAS A BATMAN MUSICAL! 😮‍💨😞 🦇🐈‍⬛🃏

[@Snooperzan]

The same lonely desperate feels I get from “Making Love Out of Nothing At All” ❤️

[@store4books]

Strange, the lyrics sound like they belong with Neverland. Sure wish his musicals would get produced. People just have never been ready for Steinman. Would love to see Tanz der Vampire done right, his way this time, as a movie. His writing is so much like Paul O' Neil, TSO, another incredible composer.

[@cemarz]

Yup. When I think of Batman I think if a man in a rubber suit crying about mommy and daddy. This is ... wow.

[@weathermansam]

Would have been the perfect ending to the new album....man...this and "Tonight is what it means to be young" are the two steinman songs I wish Meat had performed at some point...

[@odrilliad]

Agreed. I too was really hoping this song would be on Braver Than We Are, a perfect album closer (or career closer), and Meat's now lacking voice might have actually added more pathos to the lyrics. Pity! But maybe there's another home for it. Jim Steinman's Bat out of Hell: The Musical - Manchester, Feb 2017.

[@NicholasWingoldenkiwi2095]

@@odrilliad You Know I am surprised to figure out whatever happened to the Unproduced Batman Musical though I haven't heard songs like these in such a long time then again if I did some recordings of songs like these I would be honoured to play Batman in a musical and I hope that in future Batman the musical will get back on it's feet and I pray that Batman will get the musical theatre treatment that Broadway and the West End Deserves so that Warner Bros Discovery can revisit something like this for musical theatre in future

[@brandonflowerswanabe]

First up amazing song and although I know a more rounded voice could sing this better I love how u can really feel the emotion in Jims's voice. Main reason for my comment is I just have to say how amazing that picture is at 3:15. It really sums up the life of batman. So dark and strong yet all he really longs for it light and love. Amazing symbolism!

[@scottbuckley823]

I haven;t seen it yet but this would be perfect for Joker 2

[@store4books]

I hope and pray that Jim & Meat Loaf's new album has all the Count K songs from Tanz Der Vampire, Batman, and Cry Baby. If Meat was picked instead of Michael the US Dance of the Vampires would have been amazing because Jim & Meat wouldn't have let it turn into a train wreck.

[@rabidphantomfan]

BRB crying forever.

[@BriGuyIL1980]

That last picture :(

[@epicphail2926]

Always gets me man

[@kingrick5494]

Yeah great song, and usually dont like to knock Jims singing like others love to do, but his voice just cant handle this one

[@leonel1982]

Poor Batman...

[@odrilliad]

My guess is that Jim will probably use this song for the Bat out of Hell musical that will hopefully hit the West End in 2010 or 2011, but I won't hold my breath. I actually think it would fit better there then the Batman stage show it was composed for. However, I have heard rumours that Jim' might be working with Bonnie Tyler again, but I don't think this is a song for her. As for Meat I think BOOH III has put end to his and Jim's working relationship.

[@Kowasi]

odrilliad1 Your predictions were out by a little, sir!

[@odrilliad]

Yes they were, but the show was worth waiting for!

[@srmcriclesinthenight9317]

I'm still the little girl I was then .....

[@TheChatbud]

what superhero had more inner demons to fight than batman ?

[@olserknam]

...Hulk? :D

[@alphamegazulu6654]

Idk... Maybe Wolverine? Blade? Deadpool? Spiderman's life is pretty messed up.... Ghost Rider? Dr. Strange? Spiderwoman? Punisher? Etrigan? Probably Daredevil. Yeah now that I think about it there are A LOT of heroes that are pretty messed up in the head. And a lot that have to deal with eternal struggles like Batman.

[@nathanielmorgan9108]

@@alphamegazulu6654 sorry to comment on an old comment but this is deep all of those you listed have superpowers but batman is an ordinary guy who trained and lost out his childhood his entire life yet even though he doesn't have a childhood he never really grew up he will always be the same as that fateful night in crime alley

[@jscscs]

It is as if he keeps rewriting the Bat Out of Hell songs. Except Dance in my Pants of course. Nobody wants to admit that one stunk.

[@steinmaniac7920]

I sincerely love that song.

[@MLBFCollection]

@@steinmaniac7920 I do too

[@MeatyCoon]

Jim sings kinda like Roger Waters here. Apart from the dumb "march a broad in" part used to fill in the gap, a great song.

[@ColeHomeVideo]

James Holmes disliked this.

[@MyAction5000]

Love the song and I love Jim Steiman, but the first pic ruined it for me. Kinda creepy. Sorry!
