Artist, now known as Kate Bowen, is currently creating new music at / katebowen This is my version of Holding Out For A Hero from the 2011 remake of Footloose.
because the exec's at Paramount know that nobody would buy the album if they release this song as a single. So you have to buy the entire album just to get this song.
I love this version. It's so soft. I would often sit by the window and daydream about my "hero", even if he is nonexistent 😅. This song was on repeat and I would constantly sing along.
This is by far my favorite version of this song. I honestly like this one better than the original. Side note, every time I hear this song I think of Shrek... EVERY. TIME.
I first found out about Ella Mae from a book named Breathe by Kristen Ashley and since then I've listened to her cover so many times it's ridiculous. I love it.
this is mine and my step moms song ....we both wait for my father(her husband) to come home from deployment.... i love it adding yo playlist...thank you to all millitary personal...
i hope your dad made it home safe! i know what it's like to have someone over there and not know what each and every second holds for your future. its such a scary and worrisome wait. thank your dad for me and thank you to you and your stepmom for being the strength and love from home i know its not easy!! much love to you all
Me and my husband are both active duty and he is more of my hero. I am proud of him more than anything. He makes me want to be a better person and no matter how many deployments we go through and long months of training we go through, I will be here waiting for him
My husband is active duty marines and I heard this for the first time today on the radio and balled like a baby 😢 I miss him so much!!!! 4 more months to go !
My grandmother is my hero. She had multiple strokes and lived, she was the strongest person I knew. I wanted to be strong like her. She was diagnosed with late stage lung cancer that the doctors found on accident. They decided to run another scan and found out she also had late stage brain cancer. I broke down in tears because she wouldn't live and only had a little while left. She passed away on September 3, 2016 at 5:30 a.m. I still miss her and cry, she was my hero and she will always be. She was the greatest person I knew. I miss you grandma....❤️
Lyrics: 1 2 3 Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night He's gotta be strong He's gotta be fast And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life Da da da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da da da da da da Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasies Somewhere just beyond my reach There's someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder And rising with the heat Isn't there a Superman to sweep me off my feet I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night He's gotta be strong He's gotta be fast And he's gotta be larger than life I pray the mountains meet the heavens above Where the lightning splits the sea I could swear there's someone somewhere watching me Through the wind and the chill and the rain And the storm and the raging flood Oh, his approach is like fire in my blood I'll meet a hero And then we'll dance till the morning light Dreaming, he will lead me Held tight, tonight's the night I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night He's gotta be strong He's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light He's gotta be sure He's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life Da da da da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da da da da da da Larger than life Larger than life Larger than life
love this song, and love this version of this song! Ella Mae's voice is raspy and perfect and the slowness of this song is what makes this version so good, this is a song with lyrics full of pain, longing and raw hurt and emotion and this version truly does that justice.
I am still just so in love with what you did with song. Your voice is amazing and the way you just made this song your own really blows me away. Hearing you sing this song still makes my heart feel warm. You are truly one of a kind.
One of my heroes. Christina Grimme was an amazing person! And she didn’t deserve what happened to her. She was one of the most amazing people that I’ve ever seen. R.I.P Christina! And also you did a really amazing cover of this song!
you don't need someone to fix you and don't think for a second you need to love someone to be whole. only you can fix yourself and it's important to love yourself and find yourself before placing your heart in the hands of someone who may end up hurting you even more
we are only where we are because theres so many uppity assholes in this world...it has nothing to do with any of you ..its just life sucks in general...much love from me ❤ keep your heads up
This song that keeps me going on a daily basis, knowing my brother's overseas and has been gone for 3 years with a year left till he comes home. Thank you to everyone whos fought for our freedom and who are still fighting!!
I remember the first time I heard this song on Footloose. I looked it up afterwards to hear the whole song, and I've been listening to it ever since. When I get older and get married, I want my husband and I to dance to this song.
+natalie figueroa hi my is ribamar amisade like to do with who has an interest in learning Portuguese in Brazil. poie I want to learn Inglis, my fecebook is Ribamar conceicao 16...
+Ribamar Conceicao Perhaps try an English instructor in your hometown instead of bothering random people online. It kind of looks like you are trying to scam someone. Just letting you know. :)
I cry Everytime I hear this song, it literally touches me in a way that hurts. Her voice is so beautiful, and I can relate to this video. I used to be so hard on myself, telling myself that I was never enough. I had the worst depression, I never thought I could get out. I never asked for help, I was always looking for it but it never came. Until now, I have found my hero and he has brought me from the ground and now I'm flying. I'm happier than I've ever been, I never thought I would be the person I am today. Never give up, you have a person searching for you and you'll receive them one day. I believe in you.
Listening to this song, actually helps me a lot. Ive been through a lot lately, finding out everyone in my life only knows how to tell lies, i sing this song everyday and in a weird way it helps. Idk the whole concept of "i need a hero" doesnt necessarily mean shes looking for a man to be her hero, it means where are the people who we really need these days, they need to be there , be our hero. 😔 this song not only helps , but has also given me a goal. Im 14 years and Im going to audition for the voice, season 11 with this song. Hopefully it not just touches me but also the judges with the words and the way i hope to perform it.
+Danielle Salazar I understand, I'm 14 years old myself. I love The Voice by the way, my mom and I are absolutely obsessed with that show we watch it every week and we vote too, I'll definitely be pulling for you :) Stay Strong.
It's 09.07.2023... Im a 31 old grown man...and I just cried for the first time...in years... I'm begging that my little brother becomes a better man that I will ever be...
I think about this version of this song at least four times a year, and always find myself coming back. WE NEED YOU TO PUT THIS ON STREAMING PLATFORMS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I HAVE NEVER BEGGED A YT WOMAN FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE!! But I am begging you, right now.
Heard this on Pandora and got obsessed right away. Found out later original was BT but im not going to lie. The way she slowed the tune down brought out the meaning and significance of it. Since that was the emotion im sure BT wanted to send out. The vocal flips are amazing and the runs were perfect.
The original one fits like an action scene, fighting the villain and rushing the damsel. This version is like the damsel yelling out for help, it's their last reach out to help
2024 and i still listen to this song on replay . Beautiful take, thank you!
Me too
Right here!😊
I wish this was on Spotify so I could add it to my playlists!
I keep saying that about Amazon music too. I like the original version, but I LOVE this version ♥
There's a cover of this version that is pretty good. It's not the same but if you wanna listen on there you can.
Here in 2023 and it’s still one of my favorite versions to this song
0/10. the original song is a fire! WTH is even this!

I wish this was on Spotify! 😢 Such a beautiful version of this song.
Why isn't this at spotify??? Your voice is so beautiful
because the exec's at Paramount know that nobody would buy the album if they release this song as a single. So you have to buy the entire album just to get this song.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Jaša Cucek dude we want all our music in one place. Please please please stop crying ❤️ it’s okay
My daughter loves this song she sings it all the time. She is 14 and has a beautiful God given voice!! You inspired her so thank you to Ella Bowen
I love this version. It's so soft. I would often sit by the window and daydream about my "hero", even if he is nonexistent 😅. This song was on repeat and I would constantly sing along.
2019 and I'm still loving this version of the song. I actually prefer this version better. The acoustic makes the song so much more sentimental. ❤❤
SO TRUE
But shrek 2 tho
Absolutely!!
I feel the same way, and this version of this song isn’t available on Apple Music in my country or region, of course 🤦🏻♀️
The original was perfect. This is perfecter.

Ugh. My hero died on June 11th. She will always be my hero. R.I.P. Christina Victoria Grimmie March 12th, 1994 - June 11th, 2016 💔😭
It bugs me so much with what happened to Christina.
me too!!!! She was so young and talented
i thought it was July
My hero is in hospital after he had pushed me and my friend from getting hit by a car GET BETTER BRO!!!!!!!!
He got hit
This song is so close to my heart. ❤️ the crack in her voice gets me every time, it's so sweet

Wait J i agree she has a beautiful vioce and that crack in her vioce brings out the inner beauty
I love this song❤
What voice crack

I first found out about Ella Mae from a book named Breathe by Kristen Ashley and since then I've listened to her cover so many times it's ridiculous. I love it.
Sameee

Was so honored to be featured in that book!
Same here. Fay kept referring to the song when she was talking about Chase that I had to listen to it. I really like this version better.

We greatly appreciate your support!
Breathe by Kristen Ashley brought me here.. anyone else? ..What a Beautiful song 💕 I feel for Faye (the main character of said book)
I love this song and the way her voice cracks. It’s amazing!! She’s singing with such passion and you can hear it!
This hit one hell of a nerve.
What do you mean?
+LyndsayWelch22 I mean it's a great song. Actually teared up on this one.
Me and my husband are both active duty and he is more of my hero. I am proud of him more than anything. He makes me want to be a better person and no matter how many deployments we go through and long months of training we go through, I will be here waiting for him

My grandmother is my hero. She had multiple strokes and lived, she was the strongest person I knew. I wanted to be strong like her.
She was diagnosed with late stage lung cancer that the doctors found on accident. They decided to run another scan and found out she also had late stage brain cancer.
I broke down in tears because she wouldn't live and only had a little while left.
She passed away on September 3, 2016 at 5:30 a.m.
I still miss her and cry, she was my hero and she will always be. She was the greatest person I knew.
I miss you grandma....❤️
I can't believe that people disliked this song it is so beautiful because it is about LOVE and that is the most beautiful thing in life
Beautiful music & voice
I normally skip songs with young Sheila's but the music roped me in
I've been putting this song on repeat for a good two weeks
Literally the most beautiful female voice ever... the chords and song are pretty next level too
Lyrics:
1 2 3
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods
Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
He's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
Da da da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
Isn't there a Superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
He's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be larger than life
I pray the mountains meet the heavens above
Where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there's someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the raging flood
Oh, his approach is like fire in my blood
I'll meet a hero
And then we'll dance till the morning light
Dreaming, he will lead me
Held tight, tonight's the night
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
He's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
He's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
Da da da da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Larger than life
Larger than life
Larger than life
Worse Nightmare bless you ❤
love this song, and love this version of this song! Ella Mae's voice is raspy and perfect and the slowness of this song is what makes this version so good, this is a song with lyrics full of pain, longing and raw hurt and emotion and this version truly does that justice.
PLEASE. PUT. ON. SPOTIFY
Songs back than were so much more in touch and nowadays we are not seems like, such a beautiful voice and instrumental 🎼 song ❤
This one cover is the best part about the footloose remake.
This version will always be my favorite. Ella’s voice is so amazing, and emotional. I’m so moved right now and every time I hear this cover. ❤️❤️
Ultra amazing. Why the heck this is not in Spotify?
Even though, I always come here and listen, despite of the boring advertises
The absolute best version of this song in existence hands down.!.!.!
Absolutely!!
I am still just so in love with what you did with song. Your voice is amazing and the way you just made this song your own really blows me away. Hearing you sing this song still makes my heart feel warm. You are truly one of a kind.
One of my heroes. Christina Grimme was an amazing person! And she didn’t deserve what happened to her. She was one of the most amazing people that I’ve ever seen. R.I.P Christina! And also you did a really amazing cover of this song!
2023 and this isn’t on apple music and i’m mad ab it
Not on Spotify either. Boooo
you don't need someone to fix you and don't think for a second you need to love someone to be whole. only you can fix yourself and it's important to love yourself and find yourself before placing your heart in the hands of someone who may end up hurting you even more
im just speaking into the void don’t mind me
we are only where we are because theres so many uppity assholes in this world...it has nothing to do with any of you ..its just life sucks in general...much love from me ❤ keep your heads up
Ghost before you decide to love someone, you gotta first love yourself, the right person will eventually come later
What's with all the deep talk this is RUclips where you pour your soul into meaningless videos without second thought
Hobbitman 5 bc i have no life. and why not
Beautiful voice and very original version.
This song that keeps me going on a daily basis, knowing my brother's overseas and has been gone for 3 years with a year left till he comes home. Thank you to everyone whos fought for our freedom and who are still fighting!!
I Don’t Usually Like Country Music But This Catches Me In My Feelings. Like FOREAL FOREAL.
I remember the first time I heard this song on Footloose. I looked it up afterwards to hear the whole song, and I've been listening to it ever since. When I get older and get married, I want my husband and I to dance to this song.
Just watched footloose and searched for this song. I saw the original first. I was like 'THE HELL?' Then stumbled across this. So glad I did
this reminds me of my gf and she might not make it here at the hospital... she loved this song and if god takes her from us i'll always play this
HookEm'Baits I’m so sorry
Did she make it..?
Did she make it
Did she pull through? Look forward to your answer a few years fron now
hope she made it bro
I flipping LOVE this song. This is the only version of the song that I will listen to or even like!!!!
My camp counselor used your song at one of our church camps and it was so beautiful and touching. Everyone in the gym was crying.
i love this version its the best
ISABELLE V8 SUPERCAR LOVER if you think this you REALLY need to reevaluate your life

I love this version so much better than the original. Too bad this is not on Spotify.
I love this version so much! It was the song for a competition dance last year
i cry every time i listen to this.
Doing a contemporary improv dance to this is amazing my dance team did it. Her voice makes the song come to life
I have saved so many people but who is saving me when I need it most?
I'm sorry but I feel like this person is like 12 and looking for attention
‘23 and still needing this on apple music
Holding Out For a Hero is the best country love song from Ella Mae Bowen.
I still think about this version all the time.
well, I was looking for the Shrek version...
I ain't even upset tbh
😂😂😂💋
Best version of this song and would love to hear new music!
i love her voice she is amazing

RUclips suggested this song a couple years ago, and now that I've found the Man of my dreams I will be singing this to him until the end of time.
Listening to this song, actually helps me a lot. Ive been through a lot lately, finding out everyone in my life only knows how to tell lies, i sing this song everyday and in a weird way it helps.

I think about this version of this song at least four times a year, and always find myself coming back. WE NEED YOU TO PUT THIS ON STREAMING PLATFORMS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I HAVE NEVER BEGGED A YT WOMAN FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE!! But I am begging you, right now.
Heard this on Pandora and got obsessed right away. Found out later original was BT but im not going to lie. The way she slowed the tune down brought out the meaning and significance of it. Since that was the emotion im sure BT wanted to send out. The vocal flips are amazing and the runs were perfect.
This is so much better than the original version😍😍😍
i love this version and movie
Thank you so much xx I won my contemporary dance dedicated to my father who died when I was a baby. I danced to this song. I made everyone cry xxxx
The original one fits like an action scene, fighting the villain and rushing the damsel. This version is like the damsel yelling out for help, it's their last reach out to help
I strongly agree 💞
You definitely brought a new spin to this
