#MARIAH CAREY HERO MOVIE#

Within two hours, we had this incredible seed for this song, 'Hero'. I was sitting at the piano and told Mariah about this movie. вЂњI went to New York and we were in the studio and came to a break. At the time, the producer was working with Carey on her Music Box album. The film was screened for Afanasieff in Los Angeles and he was told that Gloria Estefan would probably be asked to sing a title theme. So they wanted to try the next best thing, which was to have us write something.вЂќ They wanted to have Mariah sing the theme to it, but they didnвЂ™t really think they could because at that time you couldnвЂ™t get near Mariah to do anything film-wise. Producer Walter Afanasieff recalls, вЂњThe people over at Epic Records were going to do the soundtrack for the film.

Dustin Hoffman and Geena Davis starred in a movie for Columbia Pictures called Hero.

If вЂњHeroвЂќ sounds like it was meant to be heard over the end credits of a film, thereвЂ™s a good reason. When I sing it live, I donвЂ™t sing it anything like the record, but I think it ended up, because the statement is so strong, being a song that was universal. It might have been produced and you know, more towards a middle of the road, mainstream way, it might have been some more towards that way, but I would have preferred to sing it differently. I was going to put a live version of Hero on the album, but they wanted me to just put the regular version.

I like to sing вЂHeroвЂ™ live вЂcause itвЂ™s pretty easy to sing and I can do different things with it - I donвЂ™t do it like the record. вЂњMariah Carey: RevisitedвЂќ by Chris Nickson, 1998 MC: вЂњOne person could say that 'Hero' is a schmaltzy piece of garbage, but another person can write to me a letter and say, 'I've considered committing suicide every day of my life for the last ten years until I heard that song, and I realized, after all, I can be my own hero,' and that, that's an unexplainable feeling, like I've done something with my life, you know? It meant something to someone.вЂќ вЂHeroвЂ™ is a song thatвЂ™s basically about looking inside yourself and being your own hero, like not always having to look for some kind of hero to come along and save you, but you can save yourself by looking inside yourself and trying to making it through any situation by really just having yourself to depend on first and look up to, like being your own role modelвЂ¦

Jet Magazine вЂMariah Carey Says: My Mom Taught Me To Believe In MyselfвЂќ by Robert E. She adds: 'I do this because there is a lot of negativity out there and lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.вЂќ like with the songs Make It Happen and Hero,' the singer/songwriter notes. 'I like to try and give positive messages, if I can in my music, whenever I can. вЂњвЂHeroвЂ™ is about being your own role model,вЂќ Mariah explains, вЂњabout looking inside yourself to gather strength.вЂќ ThereвЂ™s not really one specific inspiration for the song, вЂHeroвЂ™ but the basic theme is looking inside yourself - being your own role model.
