Half-Hearted Hero

By shaike on May 20, 2026 8:51 pm

Big feelings week. Needed to ride it out on a song. I feel like a half-hearted hero sometimes, and being a hero isn't always what I need.

Lyrics:
I aint getting the attention I need
I'm avoiding the destruction I feed

(I'm the) Half Hearted Hero

Reservation for the smile on my face
Devastation for sympathy's disgrace

(I'm the) Half-Hearted Hero

Hallelujah for the burdens I feel
Lashed out affection before the last meal

(I'm the) Half-Hearted Hero

********** then it fell on my face *********
It had a blankey over it so that I could have good clean sound, and it seems to have worked. I recorded one take and then it was good enough. Didn't want to figure out how to actually secure everything.

Fun upbeat song. I like that the word "half" feels a half tone flat, but you resolve it neatly.
That ending had me laughing haha. Hope your mic and your face are okay.

Such TMBG vibes...You are like both Johns in one package.
