Chorus:
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

Bonnie Tyler's style is best when she's in primal scream mode. The way she belts out these lyrics REALLY drives home the song. If you think of songs like _I Need A Hero_ and _Total Eclipse of the Heart,_ you're exhausted by the end of them. These songs are a spiritual workout - at least they are to me.

Read into it whatever you wish, after all lyrics are basically poetry. But MY take on it was that sad fact of life that some women prefer aggressive, combative, anti-social men. Those who profess to 'like a bad boy' usually end up with a bad partner.

[@Lonely_Soldier]

This falls under my definition of a perfect song, amazing composition, powerful vocals and lyrics and the whole package is just amazing.

[@napsiahsalleh4266]

And this song was released some 37 years ago, in 1984 as one of the soundtracks in " Footloose" film. It wasn't noticed in the UK but caught on in the US and re released in Tyler's 1985/86 album. It has become a legend and iconic song ever since. Used in many TV shows and movies. Of late used in superhero movies.

If you like this song you should try other Steinman songs, he’s famous for this kind of bombastic, huge, Wagnerian drama in his songs, the operatic part was probably never as pronounced in any other of his songs as this one though which is probably why it’s so frequently used.

It looks like she found one in real life. Tyler married property developer and 1972 Olympic judo competitor Robert Sullivan on 14 July 1973. They have no children; Tyler miscarried when she was aged 39.[117] Since 1988, Tyler and her husband have owned a five-bedroom home in Albufeira in the Algarve.[118] Tyler had recorded one of her albums there in the late 1970s, and the couple spends much of the year there.[119] In 2005, Tyler was filmed in the Algarve for the Polish entertainment TV show Zacisze gwiazd, which explores the houses of actors and musicians.[120] Tyler and Sullivan have invested in real estate. As of a 1999 interview, they owned farmland in Portugal and New Zealand, 22 houses in Berkshire and London, and 65 stables offering horse boarding services.[121][122] In a 2013 interview, Tyler stated that the farm in New Zealand had been converted to a dairy farm twelve years after they purchased the land. In the same interview, she also stated that she and Sullivan also own a quarry.[123]
