Lyrics:
To my hero
You're calling out to me
The ray of light you shine
Is bright
I wish you could see all the good that you put in my life
I hear you singing
Oh to hear you singing
Songs that made you young when you were winning
You filled a room with life when you were drinking
And then I'd hear you say
I've seen things
Things that I hope you will never see ever again
Like Paul Newman
Looking at the moon
Your eyes twinkle
Like midnight in the garden of Eden
You suffered just south of heaven
But all the things you've done for us
Are long gone now
All is fair in love n' war, the question is how?
Heart sinking
To think the man I knew was sent killing
Not all the tales you told were filled with sorrow
You found yourself a girl that gave you tomorrow
The rest is left to us
Now I've seen things
I wouldn't have seen if you hadn't fought for my days
To my hero (my hero)
To my hero (my hero)
You gave us what we know
But now you have to go
To my hero, my hero...

beutifull song

[@FallNorth]

LOL This is being used as a trailer backing track on the Yesterday channel. I thought "that sounds like REM covered by someone like that guy from the Sterephonics, I wonder who it is", I search for it and .. it's the Stereophonics, and I see by other comments other people think it sounds like REM. So not just me :)

[@meakylad682]

Sounds a little like REM here, just love this new album

[@Nathan_Virica_Comedy]

I was thinking the same thing! This song kinda reminds me of Nightswimming. Both great tunes though, and this is Stereophonics' best album for quite a few years.

Oh my God... How have I never noticed that before?!

[@FallNorth]

Totally agree, I thought this was an REM cover or something when I just heard it.
