Thanks for the comments you guys. Steve Barton was an inspiration for me, unfortunately I didn't really begin to listen to him until after he passed away. I guess our voices have a similar tone, just keep in mind I'm only 24 years old at the moment. I recorded this song when I was 21. - Shawn
If someone feels absolutely COMPELLED to put a video or recording of themselves on youtube, I always pray they are at least HALFWAY decent. Your voice is brilliant, thank you!
Confessions of a Vampire Well alright, no stars tonight The moon must hide can't bear to see my face So many moons have passed So many suns gone down Too much blood under the bridge Too many worlds turned upside down The skies were pure and the fields were green The fading summer, sixteen-seventeen The first time I ever drew blood She was such a beautiful and innocent child She never knew my soul was cursed for good I fought to overcome my thirst I thought I could But when I kissed her lips then I had no control And the furies all ran wild And when I grasped for life I always killed the things for which I yearned I wish to be a flame and reduce to ashes But I have never burned I long to fly in total freedom and yet these chains keep dragging me down I want to be an angel or the devil himself But I am nothing but a creature longing for things I can’t have And the split goes through my very soul It’s a wound that never mends Our desires are elusive and the hunger never ends When the world has drawn its final breath And extinguished all the lights There’ll be nothing left but a lifeless wasteland And an endless appetite Nothing left but a soundless heartbeat And a ruthless appetite The preacher’s daughter let me in her room In seventeen thirty-two, to love me was her doom With her silken blood I wrote a poem of love Upon her ivory skin And the bashful page of Napoleon the Great In eighteen hundred thirteen he stood at the gate When I recall his body I can’t help but think To consume him was a sin So many victims washing on the shores an ocean of pure tears So many pleas for mercy, howls of pain Intoxicating fears I used my body just like a bandage I used their bodies just like a wound And I’ll never know where they disappeared But I can see them rising up out my memories now Just like the demons rising up from a tomb! And there is no way ever to apologize, repent or make amends No release and no redemption The hunger never ends There are those who believe in science And those who believe in art There are those who believe in power and wealth Or love and matters of the heart There are those who believe in various gods In nations, and knowledge In hell and in heaven The powers of darkness The assumption of the light But I believe in just one god That of endless and insatiable Immoral and destructible And all consuming appetite There is a prediction that I now will make And I’m sure it will be right: When the next millennium finally comes The god most worshiped in this world Will be the god of appetite
Wow..thank you! I am slowly starting to do predominately professional work with some regional theatre things coming up. Things can get difficult without an equity card..which is very hard to get unfortunately. But I'm enjoying things and taking what comes to me.
You are a God among men. This is amazing. Please, any more versions you might have time to do, please sing. You really bring the English version to life!
wow that was azamin when I first heard you i thought you were a real recording im not kidding i love this song it's one of my all time favorites and you did a great job thanx for sharing i loved this
Actually, "Unstillbare Gier" is originally known as "Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are" (long, yeah) and was also written by Steinman for Meat Loaf.
brilliant, watch those top F#s though, they are very awkward - i think you could milk some of them a bit more if you wanted to. but absolutely fantastic
You guys, As much as I love Steve Barton, I really don't hear his voice when I open my mouth. I guess our voices are similar, though when he sang this song he was 47 and I was 21. We'll have to wait to see what I'll sound like at 47 singing this song :) You know, a show I would love to do would be Sweeney Todd.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! For posting the english translation of one of the songs from 'Tanz der Vampire'.Could you post the song "Totale Finsternis" in english?
erstmal, absolut klasse gesungen, aber mir gefällt trotzdem die deutsche version besser. Deutsch klingt härter als Englisch und so kommts halt noch ein bisschen leidvoller rüber trotzdem: deine stimme...*wow*
Better than Crawford? Well, that's not hard, isn't it? Crawford raped the role of Krolock. I've seen the german version twice and videos from the english version and Crawfords Krolock had NOTHING to do with the real one.
Thanks for the comments you guys.

Confessions of a Vampire
Well alright,
no stars tonight
The moon must hide
can't bear to see my face
So many moons have passed
So many suns gone down
Too much blood under the bridge
Too many worlds turned upside down
The skies were pure and the fields were green
The fading summer, sixteen-seventeen
The first time I ever drew blood
She was such a beautiful and innocent child
She never knew my soul was cursed for good
I fought to overcome my thirst I thought I could
But when I kissed her lips then I had no control
And the furies all ran wild
And when I grasped for life
I always killed the things for which I yearned
I wish to be a flame and reduce to ashes
But I have never burned
I long to fly in total freedom
and yet these chains keep dragging me down
I want to be an angel or the devil himself
But I am nothing but a creature longing for things I can’t have
And the split goes through my very soul
It’s a wound that never mends
Our desires are elusive and the hunger never ends
When the world has drawn its final breath
And extinguished all the lights
There’ll be nothing left but a lifeless wasteland
And an endless appetite
Nothing left but a soundless heartbeat
And a ruthless appetite
The preacher’s daughter let me in her room
In seventeen thirty-two, to love me was her doom
With her silken blood I wrote a poem of love
Upon her ivory skin
And the bashful page of Napoleon the Great
In eighteen hundred thirteen he stood at the gate
When I recall his body I can’t help but think
To consume him was a sin
So many victims washing on the shores
an ocean of pure tears
So many pleas for mercy, howls of pain
Intoxicating fears
I used my body just like a bandage
I used their bodies just like a wound
And I’ll never know where they disappeared
But I can see them rising up out my memories now
Just like the demons rising up from a tomb!
And there is no way ever to apologize,
repent or make amends
No release and no redemption
The hunger never ends
There are those who believe in science
And those who believe in art
There are those who believe in power and wealth
Or love and matters of the heart
There are those who believe in various gods
In nations, and knowledge
In hell and in heaven
The powers of darkness
The assumption of the light
But I believe in just one god
That of endless and insatiable
Immoral and destructible
And all consuming appetite
There is a prediction that I now will make
And I’m sure it will be right:
When the next millennium finally comes
The god most worshiped in this world
Will be the god of appetite
Wow..thank you!

You really understand to catch alot of the emotion in this song :) Amazing!
You are a God among men. This is amazing. Please, any more versions you might have time to do, please sing. You really bring the English version to life!

Amazing! i love tanz der vampire, what a talent, greetings from México :)
Amazing!You're wonderful singer!=)
brilliant, watch those top F#s though, they are very awkward - i think you could milk some of them a bit more if you wanted to. but absolutely fantastic
Just look out for the lyrics of "Total eclipse of the heart" by Bonnie Tyler... was #1 hit in '83 i guess.
i repeat you'r incredible... i'd sung a fandub of this song but nothing like this congrats i'm a fan!

I agree. It seems that the character was completely re-written and it became very campy.
Are you a reincarnation of Steve Barton?? You sound just like him.
Ah!!!! Your voice *___*
Much better than Crawford.
erstmal, absolut klasse gesungen, aber mir gefällt trotzdem die deutsche version besser. Deutsch klingt härter als Englisch und so kommts halt noch ein bisschen leidvoller rüber
trotzdem: deine stimme...*wow*
Fast so schön wie das Original, aber Steve Barton ist nunmal unschlagbar!!!
Better than Crawford? Well, that's not hard, isn't it? Crawford raped the role of Krolock. I've seen the german version twice and videos from the english version and Crawfords Krolock had NOTHING to do with the real one.
Hi everyone. Shawn Jesseman here. I haven't used the Spaceboy account for a few years. This is the new one.
