Real Hero by College feat. Electric Youth

When I saw the movie Drive I think I almost loved this song as much as the movie. It's such a beautiful song really, I just love the chorus. It goes "be a  human being and a real hero" and to me that's what the movie was all about, it was about this everyman only known as the driver and in his own world he was a hero. He was extraordinairy true, but the song is good because it says to me that the ordinairy can be extraordinairy.

 It's a really nice synthy song that makes me nostalgic for the 80's a time I spent in dipers and struggling to say my first words. You don't need to see the movie (although I highly recommend it), you must however listen to this song. I'll post the lyrics below, but check out this link as well if you have time you will not regret it.

 Real Hero

Be a human being ( being bein being... )
And a real hero ( hero hero hero... )

Back against the wall and odds
With the strength of a militant cause
A pursuit some called outstanding
Or emotionally complex
Against the grain of dystopic claims
Not the thoughts your actions entertained
 
And you, have proved, to be
A real human being, and a real hero
be a human being, and a real hero
be a human being, and a real hero
be a human being, and a real hero
be a human being ( being being being... )

A pilot on a cold, cold morn'
One hundred fifty-five people on board
All safe and all rescued
From the slowly sinking ship
Water warmer than
His head so cool
In that tight bind knew what to do
 
And you, have proved, to be
A real human being, and a real hero
be a human being, and a real hero
Be a human being, and a real hero
Be a human being
Be a human being ( being being being... )
Be a human being.
