    "I'm Not Your Hero" Lyrics:
    Standing where I am now, standing up at all
    I was used to feeling like I was never gonna see myself at the finish line
    Hanging on to parts of me, hanging on at all
    I was used to seeing no future in my sight line
    Sometimes it feels like they wanna remind me
    Send all those villains after me
    I'm not their hero
    But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
    I never walked the party line
    Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
    I'm not your hero
    But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same
    Feeling like I am now lighting up the hall
    I was used to standing in the shadow of a damaged heart
    Learning all I know now, losing all I did
    I never used to feel like I'd be standing so far ahead
    Sometimes it feels what I recovered you lost
    Sending your peaceful loss to me
    I'm not their hero
    But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
    I never walked the party line
    Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
    I'm not your hero
    But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same
    Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on
    Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand
    Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got
    It's so hard to know I'm not what they want
    Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on
    Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand
    Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got
    It's so hard to know I'm not what they want
    I'm not their hero
    But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
    I never walked the party line
    Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
    I'm not your hero
    But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same
    I do my best to walk the finest line
    Till I've had all that I can take

      Come on, now!!! I first bought their CD, This Business of Art, back in their garage alt rock days in 2,000. Nearly every song was good. I've followed them ever since. I can't be the only one.

    Still love them after Heartthrob was released and I really admire their courage in changing their style of music. Most artists just stick in their comfort zones. Though I miss how their shows used to be and those banters, but still I will support Tegan and Sara for changing my life!

    Their voices and harmonies are as good or better than ever... Even the newest album sounds great live and they are still very acoustic and in tune with their audience... Hearthrob got them more noticed in the States, so that's pretty awesome... I wonder where they go from here? I believe this was their last contracted Album for the Warner Label....Hmmm!!

    different is almost ALWAYS good......art is going with what you see/feel. NEVER SELL OUT......stay true to your head. I don't have to like it, but as an artist, don't you feel the need to be a conduit of your vibe/thoughts/inspiration, etc,etc.....? These women are awsome.

  • @Musicmonk84
    @Musicmonk84 11 років тому +2

    There's definitely a new pop sensibility to their music, but they seem to do it better than everyone else. There's a level of creativity with their melodies and a realness to their lyrics that makes it so worthwhile. It's almost like taking the best of both worlds. Can't wait to hear the new album. It'll probably be a healthy mix of ear candy and disappointment.

    • @jennai.9424
      @jennai.9424 10 років тому +1

      Well, the only reason they make audio videos is so people can listen to them in the background of doing something. Your question is like asking "Am I the only one who has a hard time listening to music videos?"

    • @kameronhood5642

    New fan here too. I was knocked out by them at the ACL Festival this past October. It was my first encounter with their music. I remember being so musically wiped out by this particular song, and Tegan's "Oh, Oh, Oh's" were an emotional blast with Sara's voice. I actually got teary-eyed hearing them. This studio version is excellent as well. I'm very much looking forward to the release of the album.

  • @tehsplendiferousone

    Guess what now my Gay apprentice is now my best friend!
    And my boys don’t talk to me.
    This song was therapeutic for me knowing that I had to stand up for what was right!

    There are a lot of comments saying that they have never heard of this band. Listen to their songs "My number" (awesome) and "All you got" from their "Business of Art" album. In fact the whole album was awesome. It was released in 2000, and back then, I went through 2 CD'S of it (those were the little plastic discs they use to play music on in ancient history). These girls have been the bomb for a LONG time.

      KEEP LISTENING!! Go deep into their discography, because I honestly can not tell you- there are just a million songs by them that are FCKING INCREDIBLE. Just to throw some out there listen to- "The Con", "Take me Anywhere", "Monday, Monday, Monday", "Love Type thing", "Alligator", "Superstar", "Dark Come Soon", "I hear Noises", "I'll Take the Blame", pretty much every song they have written, including all unreleased tracks, are gorgeous works of art.

    Change is apart of growing as a musician, not staying detained as a one-trick duo, which is exactly what they're doing. Many artists these days come out with music, and all the songs sound the same. A true artist evolves, and that's exactly what Tegan and Sara are doing. They make music because it's what they're good at, it's what they love. Don't judge, especially the people who call themselves fans. Change is apart of life! Adapt, or just don't listen. No-one wants to hear whiny complaints ab
