      @@frankmcdank I mean, I'm waiting for that as much as anyone else, it's one of my favourite JoJo openings. But Jonathan is a great musician, I really enjoy his originals, and almost all of his covers, even when I don't like the song it's based on. That said, I'm not in a hurry. It will come, but he doesn't seem to enjoy making them too much, and you can see the passion (and sometimes lack thereof) on what he does, which affects the end result. So I would rather wait until he feels like doing it. Bloody Stream was amazing, though I feel he was trying to get it over quickly. And Chase was... strange, to say the least. I know most people saw it as a meme song from the start, but it was probably my favourite part 4 opening, Crazy Noisy bizarre town was much more memey, and still got a much more enjoyable and polished treatment.
      To summarise, he's an immensely talented artist who can create great songs, as long as he's dedicates himself. If he's going to be pressured by the fans, not enjoying himself, and all that, I would rather wait or not have it at all. Though with the JoJo fandom being numerous and relentless, I think it will get done some day for sure

    _Lyrics_
    Where have all the good men gone
    And where are all the gods?
    Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
    Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
    Late at night I toss and I turn
    And I dream of what I need
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
    He's gotta be strong
    And he's gotta be fast
    And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
    He's gotta be sure
    And it's gotta be soon
    And he's gotta be larger than life!
    Larger than life
    Somewhere after midnight
    In my wildest fantasy
    Somewhere just beyond my reach
    There's someone reaching back for me
    Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
    It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
    He's gotta be strong
    And he's gotta be fast
    And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
    He's gotta be sure
    And it's gotta be soon
    And he's gotta be larger than life
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
    Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
    Out where the lightning splits the sea
    I could swear there is someone, somewhere
    Watching me
    Through the wind, and the chill, and the rain
    And the storm, and the flood
    I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
    He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
    And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
    He's gotta be sure
    And it's gotta be soon
    And he's gotta be larger than life
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
    He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
    And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
    He's gotta be sure
    And it's gotta be soon
    And he's gotta be larger than life
    I need a hero

      Could you imagine a live action musical following two lovestruck bandits singing about their evil deeds? They Rob banks but don't kill anyone. While there is a montage of them terrorizing the public you feel conflicted, thinking about how these criminals could be the protagonists. Then you find out that they're doing it to get money for their child with a disease.

    Jon, if you feel up for the challenge, Not One of Us from Lion King 2 was such an interesting number. Despite coming from a mere Disney sequel, this song left a strangely-strong impression on the audience. It's really cool. The multiple singers involved would translate pretty well with a collab between you and Caleb. I hope you'd consider this.

    Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed
    Late at night toss and turn and dream of what I need
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
    He's gotta be strong
    And he's gotta be fast
    And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

    And it's gotta be soon
    And he's gotta be larger than life
    Larger than life
    Somewhere after midnight
    In my wildest fantasy
    Somewhere just beyond my reach
    Someone reaching back for me
    Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
    It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
    Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
    Out where the lightning splits the sea
    I would swear that there's someone somewhere
    Watching me
    Through the wind and the chill and the rain
    And the storm and the flood
    I can feel his approach
    Like the fire in my blood
    Like the fire in my blood
    Like the fire in my blood
    Like the fire in my blood
    Like the fire in my blood
    Hero
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
    And he's gotta be sure
    And it's gotta be soon
    And he's gotta be larger than life
