Career

Bush's most notable works include the songs "The Touch" and "Dare" from the soundtrack to the 1986 animated film The Transformers: The Movie, "Hearts vs. Heads" from the soundtrack to the 1986 film The Wraith, and "She's Got the Power", featured in the American voice dub of the animated series Sailor Moon. He made one track on the children's album Take My Hand – Songs from the 100 Acre Wood titled "That's What Tiggers Do Best", released in 1995. Other notable works include the songs "Never Surrender", "Streets of Siam", and "Fight for Love" from the movie Kickboxer, "Fight to Survive", and "On My Own – Alone", the theme from Bloodsport. In 1987, Bush (and back-up band Barrage) wrote and recorded the ballad "Love Don't Lie", which became a minor MTV hit when covered a year later by House of Lords.

In 1996, The Child Within was released in Japan with the title Higher than Angels, additional songs, and different versions of the same songs. Bush submitted two tracks to the producers of the 2007 live action Transformers movie, which are an updated version of "The Touch", and an updated version of his song from BotCon 1997, "Ground Zero", retitled "'Till All Are One". They were not included on the final soundtrack, but they were included on the July 3, 2007 release In This Life. Bush also recorded another, markedly different version of "The Touch"[1] which was later released as a free downloadable track for the video game Guitar Hero World Tour.[2] "Till All Are One" is the end credits song for 2010 video game Transformers: War for Cybertron.

Bush released his studio album Dream the Dream on September 15, 2010 through LA Records. The album contains 11 new songs written and performed by Bush and studio musicians, as well as a remake of "The Touch" that was originally recorded for inclusion in 2009's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen film.

In 2011, Bush recorded "High Noon Theme" for the wrestling promotion Chikara, which is a parody of the theme song for the 1980s cartoon M.A.S.K. This was followed by his single "Heat of the Battle", which was included on his 2014 album release The Ultimate. On September 22, 2017, Stan released his thirteenth studio album called Change the World. The album features eleven tracks which are six all-new songs and five from previous works.

On the Fourth of July 2019, Bush released a brand new single and music video called The 80's. The music video for the song featured Stan's son playing a young version of him from the titular decade. It is the first single for a forthcoming album set to be released in the later part of 2020.
