Superheroes, by The Script


Superheroes is a song sung by The Script, included in their last album, No Sound Without Silence (2014).

The reason why I have chosen this song is because of its beautiful and thought-provoking lyrics. The Script, with this song, sings to the people who do not have an easy life, who have to sacrifice themselves every day to have something to eat, to be able to maintain their family, who is vulnerable to be abused. They sing to the real superheroes, but, at the end, to all of us, because not only rich or important people are superheroes, we are all superheroes; we are all stronger than we think.

Apart from the meaningful lyrics, Superheroes has a gripping rhythm, a refrain which makes you move the head and dance, which makes you sing.

Concerning the video, I consider it impressive and powerful. It shows us how a dark skinned man has to leave, early in the morning, his daughter alone to go working in a difficult place. He wears a suit to make his daughter think he has a great job, but then, he has to change clothes to work with rubbish. After a hard day of work, he comes back with his daughter with a present, an object that is rubbish for some people but is a treasure for them. It is an exceptionally moving video that teaches us the real important things in life: to be happy with the things and people we have, to value important moments.

I really like this song due to the fact that it is not only a song with a riveting rhythm, it has moving and meaningful lyrics and the video is realistic and rousing.
