about

I wanted to write a "superhero" song. I was inspired by several XTC songs. Be the hero in someone's life.

lyrics

I know I’ll never leap the tallest building in a single bound
But I can send your spirit soaring with your feet still on the ground

Please let me be your superman So you can find out who I am
And we can save ourselves tonight

You’ve made mistakes but now you say that this is different than before
But there’s no difference when the path of least resistance comes knockin’ down your door

Please let me be your superman so you can find out who I am
And we can save ourselves tonight

I’ve been running around doing the best that I can Let me be your superman
You’re feeling so down with your heart in your hand Let me be your superman

This whole Metropolis is crumbling on top of us with apathy and crime
The only way that we could ever save the day is save one person at a time

Please let me be your superman so you can find out who I am
And we can save ourselves tonight

I’ve been running around doing the best that I can Let me be your superman
You’re feeling so down with your heart in your hand Let me be your superman
Let me be your superman let me be your superman Let me be your superman

Let me be your superman

Now, he takes all these influences, his love of Melodic songs, filled with catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics and pours these elements into his emotional Retro-Pop sound!

His entire heart is in every note! ... more
