“Hero”-ic Songs

I'd like to tell you that this post originated because I was feeling particularly heroic at the time, or because I or someone I know recently did something heroic. But that would be lying. There were simply a number of good songs about heroes that I wanted to post, and so I did. And that was as good a reason as any. Enjoy!  ~  JH

5)  Family Of The Year  ~  “Hero”




6)  Tina Turner  ~  “We Don’t Need Another Hero”




7)  The Wallflowers  ~  “Heroes”  (I know this is a cover of an older song, but I much prefer this version to David Bowie's original. Sorry, music purists!)




8)  Bonnie Tyler  ~  “Holding Out For A Hero”




9)  Foo Fighters  ~  “My Hero”




10)  M People  ~  “Search For The Hero”




11)  Randy Travis  ~  “Heroes And Friends”




12)  Nas ft. Keri Hilson  ~  “Hero”  (Who else do you know who could transition so smoothly from a Randy Travis song to one by Nas? Yep, I didn't think so.)




13)  AWOLNATION  ~  “Kill Your Heroes”




14)  Oh Land  ~  “Half Hero”
