I Can Be Your Hero...

3 September, 2014 – this day thirteen years ago (to be precise Sept. 3, 2001), one of the best love songs (well, if you ask me, it’s THE BESTEST EVER LOVE SONG) released.

Hmmmm!!! I’m sure you must be racking your brains coming to the many songs that might have released on this particular day. Well I won’t put you test any further, my dear readers.

Enrique Iglesias’ HERO, first released, on this day and it’s thirteen years old today. So it’s Haaaaapppppppppyyyyyyyyyy Birthday Hero! The lyrics, the music, the singer (ESPECIALLY the SINGER) are just perfect. (Well, I haven’t counted the number of times I have listened to it today. But surely has gone beyond 50 times)

For those of you who don’t know me that well, here’s a sneak peek. I’m a huge, huge, huge fan (u can say I’m gaga, nuts, crazy - add whatever adjective you like - over him) of Enrique Iglesias. And I love every song that he sings. Honestly, there’s nothing that I don’t like about him (wink, wink). But Hero has stolen my heart. And steals my heart every time I listen to it. Jitna kaho utna kam hi hoga iss gaane ke baare mein…

These are my favorite lines that I keep playing in my head all the time:

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

The best thing ever, was when I heard the song, live, at Pune's Amanora Park Town on Oct. 17, 2012. That was the moment when I was literally out of breath. Listening to Enrique, singing live was  the bestest thing I could have ever asked for. It truly was a dream come true. I can just keep gushing about how awesome the song is, but then I’m short of blog space and there’s time constraint, as I need to rush home.

Those of you who have listened to the song, I’m sure you will agree that it’s a love song in the truest sense. And those who haven’t yet (I hardly doubt if there’s anyone who hasn’t) listened to it, give it a try. I’m sure you will love it.

OH, What a song! Every time I listen to it, I get goose bumps the size of dinosaurs, all over. And the best part is the image that conjures up in my head (Psst, Enrique serenading me with the song).
