In Hero Kiwanuka confronta l’omicidio dell’attivista degli anni ’60 Fred Hampton con le recenti sparatorie della polizia americana (“It’s on the news again, I guess they killed another”). Un bell'omaggio alla musica soul e alle sonorità anni 70 da questo cantautore britannico.
[Intro]
I won't change my name
No  matter what they call me
I  lost my only friend
And I'll grieve you 'til the end

Am I a hero?
Am  I a hero now?
To  die a hero
Is all that we know now


Am I a hero?
Am I a hero now?
Am I a hero?
Am I a hero now?
Yeah

Please don't shoot me down
I loved you like a brother
It's on the news again
I guess they killed another

Am I a hero?
Am I a hero now?
To die a hero
Is all that we know now

Oh, we all get told to go along
Oh, we know it's all for show
We know, we know

Am I a hero?
Am I a hero now?
To die a hero
Is all that we know now
Yeah

(Ooh, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah)

Am I a hero?
A fallen hero now?
Hear my sin, Lord
Speak no evil now

My amigo
No gun to reload now
A broken people
There go a negro now

E che mi dici di Love & Hate?
Io dico che ci sta...

E che dire di Black Man In A White World?
Anche questa, secondo me, ci sta...

B.B. - 2019/11/9 - 23:36


Continua pure, io confesso che l'ho scoperto stasera...

Lorenzo - 2019/11/10 - 01:08


"Continua pure", vuol dire che non ci pensi tu ma ci penso io?

B.B. - 2019/11/10 - 09:42


Vai libero...
