Song appears on forthcoming Rock Believer album
Scorpions have released “Shining of Your Soul,” the latest single from their forthcoming Rock Believer album, set for release on February 25th.
It’s about the moment in a person’s life that must be one of the most frequently interpreted emotions, be it in rock, pop or in electronic music: a moment the French call amour fou (the significance of this sudden emotion and its intensity being considered to be almost obsessive).
But what the the band primarily wanted to express in the song is that breathtaking emotion caused by the sudden realization, as the lyrics’ author, Scorpions vocalist Klaus Meine, says, “When someone enters the room and you sense an aura that makes everything else fade into the background. When the atmosphere changes inexplicably, and one is enveloped in a warm glow. The shining of a soul.”
That moment, which the band describes on the new lead single lifted from their current, brilliant album Rock Believer, (“I can’t stop believing, it’s more than a feeling, and when you come through the door, I see the shining of your soul”), also illustrates one of the unsolved mysteries of our emotional world, those mythical moments in our encounters with other people.
In March and April 2022, the band are set to perform at the Planet Hollywood Resorts & Casino in Las Vegas as part of their residency, followed by a European tour scheduled to kick off with a number of shows in Germany in June 2022, with more concerts around the world in the pipeline.
