Northern Kings - We Don't Need Another Hero

Because it's EPIC, here is the Northern Kings' version of Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero." You know your tough if you can do a Tina Turner cover and turn it into some sort of mid-evil castle chant meets 20th century fashion: top hats, tuxes with tails, Red Barron scarves and all and not crack a smile. I don't know about you, but I'd love to have a castle built in the air!
If for nothing else, it's worth checking out 2:05 for "MMmmmnn Love and Compassion--aawh....."
There's something about this Northern Kings version and I've had to listen to it dozens of times. Maybe it's how they twiddle their fingers and look up into the camera with that EPIC quality.
Northern Kings - "We Don't Need Another Hero"
"We Don't Need Another Hero" - Lyrics
Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can’t make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome
Looking for something we can rely on
There’s got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say
We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome
What do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark
Give it all or nothing
