A new one.

I have at least 5 male friends who have faced overwhelming adversity and pain and tragedy in their lives over the past year or two, but have risen above it all through the sheer strength of their faith and utter manhood, as quiet heroes.

I wrote this song to celebrate them.

They know who they are.

THE HERO

By David Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/the-hero


V1

They say you have to beat the odds
And give it all you’ve got
Fight against your fatal flaws
Just to reach that mountain top
They say you’ll never know what you can take
Until you reach that point where you might break

CH

But sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change
And sometimes the hero’s the man
Who just lives with the pain
And sometimes the hero is the man who doesn’t have to be ashamed
Because sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change

V2

And he knows you have to live by faith
So he always says his grace
And he’ll rush into a raging fire
If there’s someone he can save
And he’ll never say there’s no more he can take
Cause that man of faith never hits the point where other men might break

CH

Cause sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change
And sometimes the hero
Is the man who lives with the pain
And sometimes the hero is man who doesn’t have to be ashamed
Because sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change

BRIDGE

You keep the faith
You keep the faith
Even in the pouring rain
You keep the faith
You keep the faith
It’s the one thing that remains
You keep the faith
You keep the faith
And that’s never gonna change
You keep the faith
You keep the faith
It’s the one thing that remains

CH

Yeah sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change
And sometimes the hero
Is the man who lives with the pain
And sometimes the hero is man who doesn’t have to be ashamed
Because sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change

David, very cool song indeed! Really strong vocals again on this one. Cool modulation, and the big ending gets VERY big without going off the rails. All this musical goodness and a message, too. Love it!

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

First a SNyder/Williams collab, then a new Daved Snyder song. A great way to start the day. Love this, man! Extraordinary lyrics and sentiment. Yep, I know some of those guys. "The man who doesn't change" says so much.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hey thanks DC! I am so glad you liked it.

I am so proud of my friends, both male and female, who have typified the type of courage under pressure I'm talking about in this song, and the list is quite long at this point.

Yeah sometimes you don't have to face all of your demons, and grapple with your fatal flaws, and overcome all of your weaknesses in order to become the hero of the greatest Hollywood Blockbuster plot and summertime hit that the world has ever seen.

Sometimes you just have to keep on being yourself when all the world around you is collapsing.

David, this is your best to date.
An outstanding song with a vital message: with God all is possible.
Loved it!

Very cool arrangement David - made more so by your guitars.
I take "faith" in this song as something other than religion. After all "keep the faith" is synonymous with keep your promise, keep the standard, hold to the truth, stay true etc.
Uplifting for certain.


Cheers

Wow!
Daivd, this is another excellent creation.
I love what you've done.
The arrangement, the lyrics and the melody had me mesmerised.
It's such an excellent sounding band and terrific song.
And that key change is the icing on a pretty delicious cake.
Loved it!

That is a powerful tribute to your friends and their endurance.
We can hear the passion in your vocal.

The build is very effective and the modulation was a nice surprise.

We've only written a few very personal songs.
For us it was both draining and rewarding. We get it.

Kudos!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
