Hero To Yourself - The title explains it all...
Indie Alternative Acoustic Blues Rock
How formal...Umm, we are "Her Flying Robot" and we make music for the sake of making music. Rap just didn't vent our creativity like we thought it would, acoustic guitars and gangsta lifestyle...you can imagine the conflict.
Story behind the song
Recorded in a day, on couches, in a living room in Royal Oak, Michigan on a cheap 8 track i had just bought and was figuring out. This is what half a pack of cigarettes, a pot of coffee, and an afternoon will get you. Inspired by a mutual friend and musician who went way too far with the religion thing and freaked all of us out when he was living in New York. I think everybody wanted to go visit him and bring him down to Earth, but we were all strapped for cash to get there. By the way, my credit wasn't gone and my car did start...but it sounded cool to include. - CVDM
Lyrics
Here you go out of your mind again and god only knows, these things I suppose you already knew.
Background killing the sound of chorus of friends we knew, who's rythym was bad, so I hand it to you. You know I'd visit you more, if I could only start my car, and my credit's gone and New York is so far...I can't be like you, I can't pull up my roots, and be a hero to myself. Hip check, reality shows, you're coming on nice and strong in stories you've told of brand new political views. Flashpoint, as hot as the Sun and burns with obscurity, now music is dead and crying for yesterday. You know I'd visit you more if i could only start my car, and my credit's gone and New York is so far, I can't be like you, I can't pull up my roots and be a hero, a hero to myself.
