This song is inspiring me for some reason to be my own hero myself instead of waiting for one. There is still a lot of time to do all those things. I may even be a hero for someone else too. World needs more heroes. Why can't I be one of them? I just need to continue working on it.

[@dulcyking3803]

ABSOLUTELY! NEVER GIVE UP!YOU CAN DO IT! WE CAN BE UNITED STRONG HEROES TOGETHER FOR OURSELVES AND THE WORLD! I BELIEVE IN US ALL!

[@lukaz1034]

YES! Be a hero, but don't be a hero for everyone else, because you Will lose yourself eventually. Be a hero for your own sake, only then will you find the True Pleasure in it. And then you can be the hero for the whole wide world.

[@kebab_boi7720]

I think this is what the song about as well, the person singing the song continuously asks and waits for a hero to save her from the darkness of night and weight of life, but she never really finds this hero in the song itself. I think this is a message to show that you need to be your own hero!

[@XxPhantomStrangerxX]

​@kebab_boi7720 the way I've always thought of this song is answering the call. That's why this song pumps us up. Inspires us to be the hero she sings about

Bonnie Tyler is Welsh and therefore has a relatively rare accent. She also had surgery for vocal cord nodules in 1977 that left her voice raspy.

[@rainluna9765]

From start to end, this song is so epic it gives chills.

[@sleeplessindefatigable6385]

I like how most songs achieve dynamic range by giving you a long wind up with intricate layers. This song does it by giving you six seconds of warning then starting off louder than most songs end, and ending with the vocals basically fighting for dominance against drums played by Animal, an entirechoir, a piano being beaten into the ground, and explosion sounds. The part that would normally be the quiet breakdown in the middle is basically a drum and brass solo. It is almost impossible to describe how nutso buttso crazy the amount of energy this song has. There are heavy metal tracks that don't go this hard.

Sorry to hear of Jim Steinmans Passing. This theme song is from an action TV series in 1984 called “Cover Up.” It starred Jennifer O’Neill, John Erik Hexum then Antony Hamilton. All were undercover operatives rescuing Americans in danger & taking out criminals. The music & lyrics fit their dynamic rescue attempts. This a masterpiece no one will forget. Thankyou Mr. Steinman & Bonnie Tyler❣️

[@stephaniejohnson4358]

This song was also used as the intro for a short lived TV show called Cover-up. The male lead was so handsome. I think the female lead was Jennifer somebody. The show ended abruptly when he accidentally shot himself on sight. I cried my teenage eyes up. He was so good-looking and brave in the show he embodied this song for me. Now, sadly, I can't even remember his name.😢
