This song is a a theatrical and vocal masterpiece, and criminally underrated.

How this wasn't Number 1 worldwide is beyong me. It's as good as Total Exclipse of the Heart and most of Meatloaf's best songs. Jim Steinman is a genius

This song is criminally underrated!

2024. Suddenly remember this song. Amazing song. Amazing Taylor Dayne.

Jim Steinman's most underrated song, featured in one of the most underrated movies of the 90s. Rest in Peace, Brother Jim.

R.I.P. Jim Steinman. You truly were one in a million, sir.

Jim Steinman was one of the greatest songwriters in music industry.

How the HELL did this not end up an #1 hit???

Rip Jim Steinman. One of the best producers 🙏hands Down.

She is absolutely beautiful and completely underrated

The Shadow was one of my favorite films from the 90's. There was something very inspiring about a man who had done truly awful things and knew he could never make up for his past deeds. Despite this he kept on trying. The song is operatic, dramatic and wonderful. Wonderful vocals by Taylor Dayne.

I watched "The Shadow" last night here on YT, and when this started playing over the credits it blew me away! It's a pretty cool little hidden gem that also has kind of a Bond film opening feel to it.

Just watched "The Shadow" again, and I can't help but wonder why I never hear this song anywhere else. It's good.

This film is definitely underrated.

John Lone was damn good. Penelope Anne Miller was gorgeous. And let us not forget the late Jonathan Winters. It's a crime how underrated this movie is.

RIP, Jim, and thank you.

This movie and her are criminally underrated.

god when she gets to that part where she says she wants a part of the night, chills every single time

Thank you, Jim Steinman for the great tune!!!! RIP!!!

Taylor Dayne and Jim Steinman...incredible combination

Its well past tIme for THE SHADOW to RETURN...

I agree - this song is tremendously underrated. Taylor Dayne indeed should have collaborated more with Jim Steinman. I always hit repeat endlessly whenever it comes up on my playlist.

One of the best title tracks from any movie and I’m a movie fanatic. This is just such a great record and to be honest Taylor is a legend for me.

The Shadow bought me here.

underated movie Best version of this song ever period nuff said

Who knows what Evil lurks in the hearts of men??? The Shadow Knows!!! 💯❤️

Should’ve been a worldwide mega hit. Wish she’d done an entire album with Jim Steinman.

even when I was younger could never understand why this wasn't a hit

Taylor Dayne is LEGEND.

Thankfully there are still people like us who can appreciate this masterpiece

The soundtrack for this film was easily underrated

It took me until last week to watch this hidden gem. I'm in love. It might fetaure my favourite performance by Alec Baldwin by far, but Tim Curry and Ian McKellan are so much fun in this, Penelope Ann Miller is just lovely as Margo Lane, the music and this song is spellbinding. A veyr entertianing comic book film, so much that I am getting into The Shadow comics as a result.

This song is awesome! The Shadow is such a cool movie.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? THE SHADOW KNOWS!

The epic magnitude of this song is extremely undervalued. When future generations discover this masterpiece, they will attribute it to the pinnacle of our civilization.

Lyrics- I've been looking for an original sin One with a twist and a bit of a spin And since I've done all the old ones Till they've all been done in Now I'm just looking And I'm gone with the wind Endlessly searching for an original sin You can dance forever You've got a fire in your feet But will it ever be enough You know that it'll never be enough You can fly and never land And never need to sleep But will it ever be enough You know that it'll never be enough It's not enough to make the nighmares go away It's not enough to make the tears run dry And who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men today It's a city of shadow It's a city of light It's a city of secrets It's a city of pride It'll all be over now All I wanted was a piece of the night I never got an equal share When the stars are out of sight And the moon is down The natives are so restless tonight All I needed was a spot in the light It never had to get so dark When the stars are out of sight And the moon is down The natives are so restless tonight I've been looking for the ultimate crime Infinite victims, infinitesimal time And I'm so, so very guilty for no reason no rhyme So now I'm just looking and I'm killing some time Endlessly searching for the ultimate crime You can lose yourself in pleasure Till your body's goin numb But will it ever be enough You know that it'll never be enough It's not enough to make the nightmares go away It's not enough to make the tears run dry And who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men today It's a city of shadow It's a city of pride It'll all be over now All I wanted was a piece of the night I never got an equal share When the stars are out of sight And the moon is down The natives are so restless tonight I've been looking for an original sin One with a twist and a bit of a spin And since I've done all the old ones Till they've all been done in Now I'm just looking And I'm gone with the wind Endlessly searching for an original sin I've been looking for an original sin One with a twist and a bit of a spin And since I've done all the old ones Till they've all been done in Now I'm just looking And I'm gone with the wind Endlessly searching for an original sin I'm applying for a license to thrill Going out on the edge, moving in for the kill And they'll be hell to pay someday Put it all on the bill 'Cause we'll always be paying and paying until We're beyond expiration with a license to thrill I've been looking for an original sin

I'd be down for The Shadow reboot whether it be a movie or series. 👀

I NEED AN HD QUALITY OF THIS PLEASE I BEG THEE!

It's a sin she hasn't sung as many songs as she used to in the 80's. She has an amazing voice and she's also a beautiful woman.

Powerful voice. Powerful performance. Great song. Movie was underrated. To me I could watch it over and over. Like listening to this song. Very energetic

The lyrics, the piano, the backup singers, percussion and pacing of the song...this has Meatloaf's creative and directing hand all over it. And it is good.

Just talking about this today 2021-September , on a Facebook group. Taylor truly deserves more props. Back when I was a kid in school and heard this I was blown away. She is just one of my fave singers in terms of females along with Whitney and Nina Simone. Another reason this movie and song is great. Tim Curry aka the LEGEND and of course the section at 3:29. My god its amazing

Such an 80s power ballad,yes I'm aware it's 90s so underrated

I remember watching this movie with my sister and parents. Still a great movie to watch. Taylor Dayne nailed this song wonderfully with passion.

TAYLOR DAYNE HAS AN INCREDIBLE VOICE!

Classic movie, classic song ! The sun is shining. But the ice is slippery. :)

A great cover of the Jim Steinman (singer & song writer) track "Original Sin", that was on the Pandora's Box (all female band) debut album. Such a strong operatic song that Taylor has pulled off excellently with her superb voice. When I had first heard Anastacia' first single, it just opened the floodgates of memories of Taylor' first singles, with that similar vocal style of Dayne' 1980s-90s pop career. I have loved Taylor Dayne' deep soulful vocal ever since I first heard her debut tracks, that blew me away as her unique vox hit the airways from the radio. Now in 2017 I can still listen to her albums and the tracks that made her a star icon to those that followed in her limelight.

The movie suffers from over-expectations. I think it happens to remain pretty true to the whole concept of who The Shadow is. And this song is criminally underrated.

Aw!, that voice!. What a power house!!! :) Taylor never disappoints. I'm surprised that she never did a James Bond opening song :'( She was a gift to the world, that very little people wanted to open up. Great voice, Looks that could kill and a Diva Persona. What more could you ask for?. Apart from this song, Every Beat Of My Heart and I'll Be Your Shelter have to be my favs :)

Amazing film and song. Taylor is so good.

I used to watch the shadow on HBO as a kid. This brings back so many memories

Hard To Believe It's Been 30 Years Since This Song & The Movie Came Out,Time Goes By

This was freakin' EPIC!

Wow, the vocals really are amazing. This is the first time I've heard it and I'm pleasantly surprised.

I'm seriously wondering how I never heard this song until recently because it's pretty badass

This is definitely a song for a Comic Book Movie 🎥 there should be more for them

I wouldn't be surprised if they release a 20th Anniversary Edition next year, I saw this in the cinema back in 1994 and saw it at least 3 times... I know some fans don't consider it to be a faithful adaptation of the character but they came pretty close!!!

Beautiful singer and voice. I loved this song and movie as a kid.

GREAT movie. Great song, too. I could have heard it on a Bond film, too (in fact the first time I heard it I was like, "Is that Shirley Bassey?").

I'm glad I'm not the only one who really likes this movie!!! ^^

No way, this is so Powerful, Emotional, Energetic and a Piece of Arth, so much Energy! wow is a bless I discover this today on plain 2023

I am a big fan of the Pandoras Box version, but yeah this rocks. Well done Taylor Dayne, a great tribute to one of the gods of rock.

The was a criminally underrated movie. It's on par with the 89 Batman easily.

Tunes just gangsta. Taylor to me was always that diva that never got the love she deserved. Sure she was massive but she don't have that status I think she deserves. I am a hip hop fan , house , dubstep etc and I can see when someone is amazing. This woman is epic. Her vocals and harmonies are just immense. Love for Ya Taylor. You are a bad gyal.

Jim Steinman - Gothfather of wagnerian rock RIP

Taylor dayne one of my alltime moat fave music artists of alltime a true legend.

Божественно!!! Фильм детства и прекрасная песня

....this is truly GENIUS....on EVERY LEVEL...i too have to ASK...WHY DIDN'T SHE BECOME A HUGE SUPERSTAR WITH THIS....WHY DIDN'T THE MOVIE BECOME A HUGE BLOCKBUSTER HIT....WHY....

This is still an awesome song! Taylor Dayne just nails it.

Now thats a Power Ballad!

Holy cadavers, she's got some pipes.what an amazing singer.i wonder why she isn't more celebrated?

Happy 30th anniversary of the movie of The Shadow (1994)

One of my favorite movies ever and one of my favorite singers.

she still has those excellent vocals

this song is crazy and the movie was the best,the shadow is the coolest laid back superhero/villan of em all

I crushed on this woman so hard growing up by her voice alone.

First time I saw this movie in the theater, I thought it was Tina Turner over the end credits. That's a compliment to Taylor Dayne.

Песня класс, клипа атмосферный, фильм супер❤

"I'm applying for a license to thrill... Going out on the edge, moving in for the kill. And they''ll be hell to pay someday--put it all on the bill, cause we'll always be paying, and paying until, until we're beyond expiration, with a license to thrill..." No one could have done this song justice the way she does. GENIUS vocal.

Oh, I always loved this song. Just put it on my mp3 player for exercising. Wonderful!

what a stunning voice, just like to of my other favourite female singers Sam Brown and Anastasia

Rest in peace Jim Steinman.

I just finished watching this movie on cinemax network & heard this song again takes me back to my childhood love this song & video classic

I love this movie so good and this song is fantastic

Aah!!! This song is amazing! So dramatic and powerful. Although I prefer the original version by Pandora's Box which has slightly different lyrics and an extra verse...but props to Taylor for singing this very difficult song!!

I could listen to this all day haha

I love this song I rember watching this movie on stars n the encore movie channel as a kid Batman is cool but the shadow has a deeper meaning

Slightly reworked from the original version made by Pandora's Box. Composer Jim Steinman said he thought Dayne's voice was the best fit for a movie version. Incredible to me, my 75-year-old mom loves this song and used to blast it from her office computer at work.

I love this movie and the soundtrack rocks. Taylor Dayne can put all of these so called pop singers of 2017 to shame! This film had a great cast plus this is Alec Baldwin's best role to date. The 20s to 40s Generation that this movie is based around had class and taste and it's not about to be eclipsed anytime soon!

dang, her powerful voice is giving me chills, it's just so spectacular

Taylor dayne delivered this masterpiece perfectly 🥰 ❤

her voice still remains the same after all these years .Nothing more than an amazing VOICE.

This is an epic song!!

Taylor Dayne was the right person to perform the theme to the 1994 action film The Shadow starring Alec Baldwin in the title role,based on the comic book character.

Re-found this in my CD collection (yes I still have one!) EPIC vocal - powerhouse of a voice and performer. I do hope Taylor may see these comments - she is clearly genuinely loved. I have scrolled down and those that have been lucky enough to meet her have clearly met a lovely down to earth friendly talented person. Ok, I am going to put this on repeat (have to say love Jim Steinman’s work - and Taylor’s vocals fit perfectly!)

I was eleven years old when the movie came out, still remember watching the trailer on TV but mostly this video and it was love at first sight, sadly my parents didn't take me to the theater but once hit home video and cable it became an obsession and till these days I feel the same love and passion for the movie it's glorious soundtrack , this theme and Jerry Goldsmith score.

Jim Steinman! A musical genius!

Great song. I haven't seen the film but it looks really good.

Taylor Dayne definitely has a her own fire Brewing up inside of her. And it explodes in a fire extravaganza on stage. People can see this people see the genuine Taylor Dayne she is absolutely gorgeous and those mesmerizing eyes and that beautiful body just tells the whole damn story when she sings it. Love you Taylor Dayne keep up the good work. God bless you girl

3:38-4:26 gives me spiritual chills.
