i don't understand how some musicians can be classed as "heroes", to be honest. excuse me if i sound "too serious" or anything, but i think it's ridiculous to say that a musician is more of a hero than someone you know who's actually done something. like saved a life, or lived through something terrible, or like, raised you as children.

 

that's just my view, though. like, i know of this girl who went to my friends school who a week or two ago was pulled underwater after a boat she was on with her dad was knocked over. he was safe, but he dived under to try and save her, and in the end they both died. that's heroic. not making a song that you like. it's ridiculous. my grandparents are heroes to me because as a blind couple, they raised three daughters with pretty much no money whatsoever (one of which is my mam). and people could say to me that that isn't the proper criteria for a hero, but they actually did something. they didn't just write some songs and get paid an obscene amount of money to sing them in places around the world, and stay in 5 star hotels and have massive houses and everything they could possibly want.

 

it'd be different if half of you were talking about them being heroes for actually doing something selfless, like their charity work or something. but instead you're just giving them titles and so on just because they can sing or play an instrument.

i completely agree with you :)

 

i remember there was another thread with the same question some time ago and i answered the same back then and same now:

 

my real heroes are my family.

don't have any. Just ideals set up for myself that may be inspired by random people.

I want to disagree.

Yesterday i was listening to 'rush of blood to the head' and was thinking how can some Coldplay band give people wings, give them a short moment of happiness, make them feel like in the 7th heaven.. How is it possible and how it is wonderful?! I could cry from happiness at these moments. Just such a big feeling rushes into me.

And i thought that i would also want to be able to give people such a big feeling. And i thought that i will definitely try to write such a book (i want to be a writter..) that will give people such a blessedness.

Just unselfishly made music can be a luck spreader.

So Coldplay are my hero. :cool: They inspire me.

No, I think you're wrong. That doesn't make them heroic, at all. You said it yourself in your last sentence, you were inspired. Being inspired by someone doesn't make them a hero. It could make them legendary in whatever field they're in, or make them inspirational (duh.) but heroic is a completely different thing.

 

Acting heroic (which is what would make you a hero) is doing something noble or courageous. Not writing a good song that evokes feelings from someone. There's nothing remotely heroic about it.

My mom.

My granny.

Right. I understand what you mean.

But heroes can also be called people, who are being worshiped and admired.

Example: our national basketball team is worshiped here on every championship. Ask many of lithuanians who are their heroes and they will say its basketball team. :lol: i know it may sound funny. But when are started some important matches everyone (including me) are insane about that. And for what - players are just throwing the ball into the basket! :lol:

If no one ever saved me from a disaster, why cant i think that Coldplay are my heroes, because when i listen to them they always make me feel better? Ahh, perhaps it sounds stupid. :lol: But i think they can be heroes.

my grandparents

They're using the word hero wrong, then. By definition. Also, isn't Lithuania the country of Saranus Jasekevicus? I totally can't spell that but I know it's right...

Maybe its wrong definition. I dunno. :\

Yes it is! :dance: haha, perhaps all those long surnames sound complicated for you.. :lol:

but everybody calls him just Sharas (from name Sharunas).

Are you interested in basketball??

have you ever seen Everything is Illuminated? :wacko:
