M People - Search for the Hero 

Those who are listening in 2024👇

If your listening to this legendary song in 2024 YOU are a LEGEND! ❤️

This song reflects the optimism we had in the 1990s. Our culture was thriving. Nowadays our music industry has been decimated. And there’s far too much negativity, caused by social media, bad government and crazy ideologies.

My dad passed away less than 2 months ago. This was his one of his favorite songs. I know my dad wasn't perfect man, but he was my hero. Love you forever, old man.

Heather has one of the greatest female voices ever to come out of the UK . Living National treasure.

If only today's nonsense in the charts were half as good as this real talent real vocals real music with meaningful lyrics and inspiration

Playing this for my mum She loved this song Always asked me to turn it up loud.. And I always did.. Miss you mum.. Rest in peace..

Whoevers still here, your all legends...❤

This song was playing while my parents came to visit me in hospital and my Dad told me to listen to the words and use them to help me while I was there and any time in the future when I needed to be strong. Whenever, I've had to go back to visit the same hospital and felt anxious, I say " I'm going to visit the M People " and remember my Dad's wise advice....miss you Dad, but mum's still here. Thanks Dad and the M People x

Heather Small has the most exquisitely beautiful voice i have heard in this lifetime. It is an absolute pleasure to listen to her voice. I admire the well written lyrics, lots of wisdom in those lines. My son asked me one day as we were driving down the highway listeng to "just for you" by the m people, it sounds like she is singing that song to God. A heavenly voice that i have admired for many years. And enjoyed listening to.

For me, the 90s was the last truly great decade for good music. I used to love listening to the radio and chart music. M People was a solid and talented band. This is such a beautiful and meaningful track ❤

For all of the people suffering with mental health however mild or severe I am sure there is a Hero in all of you, I am positive that you can find it. Love this track 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵❤️

one of the best bands ever. still sound amazing in 2023.

Heather Small’s voice gives me goose bumps. Beautiful song.

💗 Thank God for RU-vid, enabling us to play stuff from the Great Era, the 50s to the '90s. Heather Small, M People, could see off today's - with just one song! 😎

This girl's voice sends shivers down my back. I love it

Please don’t ask who’s listening to this empowering masterpiece in 2023… We haven’t stopped! Let me get some amen ❤

I miss the 90s

Up there with Whithey, Celine and Miriah. What a voice.

We should sing this in Church. The lyrics give the hopeless some courage . They can find a key to solve their problems themselves.

a warning to anyone listening to this. i was 20 year's old when this was in the charts like yesterday. ..I'm 50 this year fuckin frightening how fast you're life goes by an the moral of this story is live it like ya stole it.

To this day I genuinely believe Heather Small is the best female singer ever. So unique, soulful and powerful. The UK can't be beaten for class acts as this.

Whose teacher used to have this as the intro music in school assemblies?

I saw her live and apparently she wrote the song for her son to inspire him. she is brilliant even now, really powerful.

Heather was so underrated. Great voice.

What an absolute stunning song. Heathers voice is amazing. Such meaning word content.

One of the most incredible voices I have heard in 50 years.

This woman has gift to open human hearts with her deep and heartbreaking songs. Very great to listen to her.

This song got me through my first, second and third cancer diagnosis. I have at the top of my funeral song list.

My late bro was terminally ill when the song was played frequently on radio. He bravely bore his illness to his last breath.

I think Heather Small is just one of the most amazing singers I have ever heard and really underestimated

Playing this on repeat. I hope all the wonderful people that left their comments years ago on this song, find a way to come back to it again. ❤️

Phenomenal song, if you pay attention to how it's constructed as a whole , saxophone, piano, drums, backing etc, it's up there with the best. Love this song, well composed and well executed, and the words are so fitting to find the inner you when you feel you are lost in a tide of emotional turmoil

Still such a beautiful song after all these years .

This female singer has got really very impressive and captivating voice. And the melody of the song is also stunning.

I don’t know how this ended up in my feed. Grateful, I remember them well. Every song was a hit, love love her voice. Man, I miss music like this😢 My heart is literally breaking thinking of how enjoyable music once was. Thanks for the memories!!!!

Very beautiful song. She is not only a very beautiful lady but has a heavenly voice.

Always remember this from the Peugeot ad! Great song, brilliant car!

Best song still in 2024

I heard heather small was caught smuggling chocolates into a cinema. I reckon she was keeping the hero’s inside herself.

a beautiful woman with a heavenly voice

When songs actually had meaning, not random sentences butted together! Great music.

This song gave the push I needed to move on from a dead relationship and sent me on the road to my soul mate, wife, best friend. Without that song I would of missed out on happy ever after

Beautiful amazing lady . A true legend . Saw her last night in Bournemouth pavilion. Her voice and her performance was absolutely amazing . Thanks to her her band and her support act Uber. Great night . X

I keep coming back to M People songs when I feel like some music. And they never fail to please.

I was only a child in the 1990s but I vividly remember this song on the radios and TV. It gives me goosebumps and makes me emotional/nostalgic: it evokes memories of my innocent childhood and my uncle who took his own life in 1999. Such a powerful voice, superb song, and beautiful instrumental sounds.

Saw her in concert singing live. It was like listening to a CD . Best live singer I ever heard

Was great hearing Heather Small on The Masked Singer after all these years. Legend! This was one of my fav songs growing up. Still is, actually.

I am 63 white and South London born and raised. Heather has raised me and kept me going for many years Saved my life at darkest times.

I had forgotten what a lovely tune this was, just what I needed for this turbulent night. Thanks

As long as you have hope you will find the hero inside yourself. Only you can do that. ❤❤❤

Heather Small.... one of the greatest voices ever. So underrated. And so beautiful times slow down..

I found this song on a compilation CD I found at the flea market. I hadn't heard or even thought of it in over 20 years, yet I totally remembered it and it's beautiful. Life is kinda cool sometimes.

My cousin Andrew Tempest who served in the Royal Signals was the nicest person you could ever wish to meet, had this song played at his funeral, and even now after all these years every time I here this song it upsets me and reminds me what a fantastic person Andrew was. I just wish that I could of got to know him better. You are sadly missed, and my condolences go out to your family. I wish that I could be half the person that he was. Andrew was taken far too early. He should have been given more time to spread the joy and kindness that came from him. The world would be a nicer place If people could be more like Andrew.

I was in love with this woman yrs ago...! Simply beautiful ♥️

I still am in love with her voice, so natural n soul searching. Its so soothing when in a bad place

i had to peform this song in primary school for a production - this song is so old and legendary!!!

This song is the main reason why I bought Bizarre Fruit. A great album.

Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes A train arrives but never leaves, it's a shame Oh, life like love that's walked out of the door Of being rich or being poor, such a shame But it's then, then that faith arrives To make your feelings alive And that's why, you should keep on aiming high Just seek yourself and you will shine You've got to search for the hero inside yourself Search for the secrets you hide Search for the hero inside yourself Until you find the key to your life In this life, long and hard though it may seem Live it as you'd live a dream, aim so high Just keep the flame of truth burning bright The missing treasure you must find Mmm-mmm-mmm Because you and only you alone Can build a bridge across the stream Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry Your passport to a feeling supreme You've got to search for the hero inside yourself Search for the secrets you hide Search for the hero inside yourself Until you find the key to your life You've got to search, inside yourself Deep, deep down inside yourself, yeah You've got to search, inside yourself You've got to search for the hero inside yourself (ooh) Search for the secrets you hide Search for the hero inside yourself Until you find the key to your life Search for the hero inside yourself (oh yeah) Search for the secrets you hide (all of the secrets you hide) Search for the hero inside yourself (you'll find a hero) Until you find the key to your life You've got to search inside yourself You've got to search Traduzir para o português

From the era of real music that had meaning 🌎🙏🏽✌🏽

Reminds me of the 90s when I was a kid ❤..still loving it in 2024 ..good memories ❤

Derry Girls brought me here because I liked this song. I am an American who was a teenager in the mid 90s but I don't remember this song being popular in the states. It should have been!

I remember this song from one of the endless summers in the mid-90s which I spent at my gran's house - hours and hours playing in the sun in her backyard. She passed away in 2014. Those were the best days of my life.

Saw M People live a few times. Absolutely brilliant. I love all their songs but this one the most. Bravo Heather Small 💙❤️

Born in 1987, never truly appreciated this incredible music being so young, but able to remember it. Looking back and realising the soul and meaning behind it, its truly incredible. Amazing track.

Listening Today, December 23, 2023 Great song. Happy holidays

Heather is amazing vocally but the whole group are talented

Someone listening in 2021?

I miss my Aunty pat she past away two years ago I miss her so much 😢

Absolutely loved m people when I was younger, still listening just as much now as I did back then ❤❤

Heather Small fantastic voice

Heather. Astonishing performance.

UK No 1 in 5,4,3,2.... I think Boris brought me here, and just realised how beautiful the words are, (which I didnt appreciate when it first came out and I was much younger, more shallow, and and less experienced. Time and life makes you appreciate the beauty in the world more.

Listening in November 2020. This song has so much meaning for us right now and all the year through. An anthem for key workers, hospital, care and front line staff and those of us struggling to live through our crazy lockdowns and restrictions. In fact, a song for us all. May the year 2021 be a better year for us all ❤

Suffering from Anxiety and depression listening to music when times were easier..

Everyone is the hero of their life💪👍💪👍

Still amazing 2022 Still searching for hero inside myself

Wishing everyone who reads this finds success in all their goals, with L♡VE n friendship in abundance and happy times ahead 💛💚🧡

2019 anyone ? Still good tune x

Manchester talent through and through...beautiful.

One of my best songs 🙌.

Just can't get over Heather's voice, gives me chills every time I hear her, good chills that is.

This is a huge 90´s hit, Heather Small is amazing, M People one of the best bands of the 90s!

BACK WHEN WE HAD MULTI-ETHNIC GROUPS MAKING GREAT MUSIC.

A journey alone through the storm is a battle with the enemy within. A true warriors battle. Believe you have purpose as strong mental health is wealth.

Heather Small - greatest voice in history!!

What a song.amazing.what a voice.what a woman.

I was being badly bullied in secondary school during the 1990s. I was hiding in the stinky toilets away from bullies. I suffered racial, homophobic abuse & shaming for being neurodiverse. Then all of a sudden I hear this song from the nearby art studio. I didn't feel so alone in that moment. I had the privilege to meet Heather Small after her concert last year in March. I focused on my time schooling in Nigeria. I have a Nigerian father and German mother, I was born in the UK. When Heather and M People became big i was living in Nigeria for a few years attending school in Lagos. As I said to Heather, being gay, Neurodiverse and British made me an outsider... But Heather's music made it ok to be different 💕 Heather gave me a hug and that memory will stay with me forever.

Heather is right... There is a hero inside of us all we just got to search for it! Stay safe everyone ✌️♥️

I've always thought Heather's voice sounds kinda saxophone-like on its own, but alongside a saxophone her voice is magic! Like Jam to buttered bread.

i used to play this song after my dear father passed away in 95 he was my hero and the only way i could through it was to find my own hero within me

To ALL THE MEMBERS AND STAFF OF THE N.H.S.MANY THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. YOU, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU ARE .............. " REMARKABLE HEROES " WE ALL THANK YOU & SALUTE YOU IN THIS CURRENT CRISIS!! MANY THANKS & KIND REGARDS TOO YOU ALL .Many thanks and Kind regards Colyn.

Just played it again, Bought tears to my eyes. Amazing voice,atrist. I have to see her live, in concert 🥰

Thanks to Derry Girls on Netflix for bringing me here

Her Voice And Lyrics Are Everything
