Hero - Nickelback
Hero - Nickelback
This melodic hard rock band was formed in 1996 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, by brothers Chad Kroeger (b. 15 November 1974; vocals/guitar) and Mike Kroeger (b. 25 June 1972; bass), their cousin Brandon (drums), and Ryan Peake (b. 1 March 1973; guitar/vocals). In the same year they released the Hesher EP and their long-playing debut Curb, both of which picked up a lot of airtime on Canadian radio stations. Relentless touring helped promote their music throughout North America, with the band going through several drummers before settling on Ryan Vikedal (b. 9 May 1975), an old friend of Peake's. The State was originally released on the band's own label, but their burgeoning popularity was rewarded by a major recording contract with EMI Canada and heavy metal label Roadrunner Records in the USA. The State proved to be Nickelback's major breakthrough in both countries, with two tracks from the album, "Breathe" and "Leader Of Men", rising into the Top 10 on the US Mainstream Rock chart. The powerful "How You Remind Me' from 2001"s Silver Side Up became a staple on American rock radio, helping propel the album to number 2 on the US album chart shortly after its release. The track eventually climbed to the top of the Hot 100 in December and similar success followed in the UK. Chad Kroeger enjoyed a transatlantic hit the following year with "Hero", collaboration with Saliva vocalist Josey Scott taken from the soundtrack of Spiderman.

1- Complete with the missing word
I am so ______ , I can hear heaven
I am so ______ , I can hear heaven
Whoa, but ______...no, heaven don't _____ me
And they say
That a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away
2- Choose the right word
Someone ______ me (told/ hold)
Love _______ all save us (could / should)
But, how can that be
Look what love ______ us (gave / game)
A world full of ________ (killing / spilling)
And blood of ________ (killing / spilling)
That world never ______ (came / gave)
And they say
That a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away
3- Put the phrases in order
It's love that I'm sending to you
Now that the world isn't ending
And that's why I fear it won't do
It isn't the love of a hero
Now enjoy the rest of the song
And they say
That a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away
And they're watching us
They're watching us
As we all fly away
And they're watching us
They're watching us
As we all fly away
And they're watching us
They're watching us
As we all fly away

Hero (Herói) Nickelback / Chad Kroeger & Josey Scott I am so high, I can hear heaven Estou tão alto que posso ouvir o céu I am so high, I can hear heaven Estou tão alto que posso ouvir o céu Whoa, but heaven... no, heaven don't hear me Whoa, mas o céu... não, o ceú não pode me ouvir CHORUS And they say E dizem That a hero could save us Que um herói viria nos salvar I'm not gonna stand here and wait Não vou ficar aqui parado esperando I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles Me agarrarei nas asas de uma águia Watch as we all fly away Observe enquanto voaremos para longe Someone told me Alguém me disse que Love would all save us O amor nos salvaria But, how can that be Mas, como pode ser? Look what love gave us Olha o que o amor nos deu? A world full of killing Um mundo cheio de assassinatos And blood spilling E sanges jorrando That world never came Esse mundo nunca existiu CHORUS Now that the world isn't ending Agora que o mundo não está acabando It's love that I'm sending to you É amor que estou te enviando It isn't the love of a hero Não é o amor de um herói And that's why I fear it won't do E é por isso que temo que não chegará CHORUS (3x) And they're watching us E estão nos observando They're watching us Estão nos observando As we all fly away Enquanto voamos para longe
