Today’s Song of the Day is “Heroes” by Sal Gonzalez.
So, yesterday was the first song of the day post I missed, but it was because of this guy, so I’ll share one of his songs today.
Sal is a fellow veteran and one heck of a songwriter and vocalist. Yesterday we were at a video shoot for his first music video, and it was a busy day to say the least—full of lots of unexpected twists and turns…and punches.
“Heroes” stands out among all the songs I’ve seen him perform because I was fortunate enough to see him sing it at his first Grand Ole Opry appearance. It was just him, his guitar, and a song that he wrote—but it was such a perfect setting, and I heard the song in such a different way. Everyone was nervous for our friend on stage, but we couldn’t overlook the power behind the lyrics.
This recording catches the power of the song, but I’ll admit, nothing could catch the power in that moment at the Opry!
Veteran songs are special; and the ones that capture the experiences of veterans should probably be heard in small doses—but they should all be heard.
I can’t wait to hear music from his upcoming project!
Check it out if you haven’t heard it!
