After two beautiful acoustic songs, I've returned to the electronic maximalist-atmospheric musical world I call home for the single 'Hero' - a bold "wiederkehr" to explorations of time, space, soul, and inner voice. This song is really special.
I did it again - thick symphonic textures, floating electronic instruments, a driving bass - this time with deep bass - and a cacophony of percussive sounds and electronic drums. A chorus of angel voices sings - and the primary voice is extremely present - persisting in her message of hope and courage. Hero even offers some different vocal applications as the last 8 songs - the chorus explodes in a full belted wail - you are the hero. *chills*
Hero makes me feel things. I really enjoy listening to this song.
Hopeful, spacious, foggy. Like waking up from an illusion - a reality you were waiting for someone else to change. Being reborn into yourself. Determined. An aching voice calling form the distance with a message you need to hear. "You are the hero you've been waiting for." This song is about breaking through barriers - your own limitations. Crossing the threshold - the quantum leap into your divinity. It’s time now - if you wait any longer, you’ll lose the chance. You are at a crossroads - you still have time, but you have to decide NOW.
