Howdy Folks
This weeks theme of Reason For Living has given me a chance to challenge myself and try making a medley of 2 songs I would have previously thought were out of my comfort zone.
I was originally going to sing Bonnie Tylers "Holding Out For A Hero" as I thought the idea of someone holding out to meet their hero/significant other is a good reason for living.
Yesterday I realised Meat Loafs song "I Would do Anything For Love" can be played with a similar chord progression so I played around and came up with something I have been having alot of fun singing these last couple of days.
This medley was put together last night and played many times today in preparation for this weeks theme.
Hopefully you enjoy my attempt and signing these iconic power ballads :).
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn, I dream of what I need
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 he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
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 he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
And somedays I pray for silence
And somedays I pray for soul
Somedays I just pray to the God of
Sex and drums and rock and roll
And maybe I'm lonely
That's all I'm qualified to be
There's just one and only
One and only promise I can keep
As long as the wheels are turning
As long as the fires are burning
As long as your prayers are coming true
You better believe it
That I would do anything for love
And you know it's true and that's a fact
And I would do anything for love
And there'll never be no turning back
But I'll never do it better then I do it with you
So long, so long
And I would do anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No, no, no, I won't do that
Will you raise me up
Will you help me down
Will you get me right out of this God-forsaken town
Will you make it all a little less cold
I can do that
Oh no, no, I can do that
Will you cater to every fantasy I got
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot (Hot)
Will you take me places I've never known
Now I can do that
Oh no, no, I can do that
I know the territory
I've been around
It'll all turn to dust
And we'll all fall down
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around
I won't do that
No, I won't do that
But I'll never do it better then I do it with you
So long, so long
No I wont do that
And I would do anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that
