Da de da da....

Mark my place dad, I will return someday
Pack my things mom as you did before
I will remember what you've taught me all those years
I'm gonna be a star one day
Mom please, wipe away those tears

It seems so far now
We've been through these before
But the difference this time is, well, I don't know
I will remember when I cried you used to dance with me
That baby is grown now
And is going out for fame

Town heros come, town heros go
But they're remembered for so long
I want to be a part of that

Da de da da....

Story:

Inspired by the movie Mr. Holland's Opus, Town Hero is the story of an ambitious teenager dreaming about his future. I was 18 when I wrote it. It took me 7 years to convince myself that I had adequate knowledge of music production to sit down and finish the song and share it with my parents -- for the inspiration I got from them was the sole purpose of writing it in the first place to be honest. Supported by the beautiful vocal styling of Elif Irtemcelik, Town Hero turned out to be all I expected from it and I hope you like it as much as we do.
