Let me introduce you to Chirbit, my life saver! It is a recording tool that allows you to record, upload your recordings, listen, download and share your recordings with anyone! What I really like is you can embed codes to your blog so that you can share your recordings with people who read your blog!
Since I am a huge Mariah Carey fan, what better way to start than to play one of her songs on my piano, record it using my iPhone, upload it on Chirbit and then share it with the rest of you here?
So, without further ado, here is my piano version of Mariah's Hero. Written by Mariah herself, this song had proven to be very inspiring for me since the very first time I heard it.
I must admit my playing is not perfect and if you listen carefully, you will no doubt hear some wrong chords, wrong notes and even wrong timing!! Oh well, I just did the best I could so I hope you will enjoy it. Thanks for listening!!
I've provided the lyrics below if you feel like singing! : )
Check this out on Chirbit
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face your world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

nice song...my fav too!
Mariah Carey will be in Singapore to perform during our Grand Prix. Wanna come? :)
Great job, Foong! Thanks..
Hi thanks for nice sharing all is very relevant nice.
I'm highly impressed with this poem. Believe me it is a fact that you will find no one in your hard time and hence it have to be you who should bear all the pain. So don't wait for anyone to come and help you because you will find no one not even the dearest one for whom you might did a lot. It's true boss.
The one word that describe this hero (the poem) is "Marvelous". I'm not a regular reader of poem but I stumbled upon this poem while going through this post. It is a superb one and I readily accept it. Wonderful job. Bye.
i used to sing this song back during those childhood days for singing contests
Thanks so much for this post, pretty helpful data.
