World Without Heroes
Never a huge fan of Kiss, (Well, I always kinda liked Gene Simmons, because he was an adult who wasn't afraid to admit he liked comics, and back then comic geeks like me tended to stay in the closet, especially around girls!)
but I got the album 'THE ELDER', a concept album they did in the 80's (Right before they took the makeup off) from Itunes.
The idea was to make a soundtrack to a Sci-Fi-fantasy movie that doesn't exist.
Hardcore Kiss fans seem to hate this album.
Maybe it's because they are singing about something other then getting laid or something.
Kiss them selves seem to want to distance themselves from this album.
I downloaded it, cause I've always been curious about it.
Lou Reed apparently had something to do with it.
I'm digging it!
Here are the lyrics to the one song from the album that got airplay, back in the day...... I kinda identify with it!
A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing devoid of grace
well you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
such a sad and useless thing
well you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
well you don't know why you don't know
And a world without heroes
Is nothing to be
It's no place for me.
