Love is in Da Blog 2023: Day 4

Posted on February 4, 2023 by pensitivity101

My choice of theme today for Bee’s musical challenge is a song specific to you and your spouse.
Our musical taste is very different, and there are several songs that we have both liked over the 34 years we’ve been together.
I’ve chosen this one today because Hubby is my hero as he gets rid of the spiders for me and is always there for me.

“Hero” topped many charts in the US including the Billboard adult contemporary chart for fifteen weeks. On the latter, the song would re-enter the top ten a year later, the first song ever to do so. The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart though it is actually his most played song on the chart, outdoing prior singles “Bailamos” and “Be with You”, both of which went to number one on the chart. A remixed recording also topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in January 2002.

In January 2002, the song was released in the UK, where it debuted at number 86 before jumping 85 places to number one, where it remained for four weeks. Up to this point, Iglesias had already had two hits in the UK (“Bailamos” and “Could I Have This Kiss Forever”) but was still largely unknown. “Hero” was seen as his breakthrough in the UK and it became the third best-selling single of 2002 there, whilst Escape was also the third best-selling album of the year. With sales of 836,500, “Hero” was the 17th best-selling single of the 2000s in the UK. In April 2015, it was announced that the song had sold 1 million copies in the UK .

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

    I heard of Enrique Iglesias, but I didn’t know any of his music, however this song is lovely. Thanks for your wonderful prompt today, Di.

    This is probably the song that that both my partner and I at the time (2008) really called it ‘our song’. We spent three years as a couple and I’ve not had a longer relationship since. https://youtu.be/PRczDxm5oJk
