A Real Hero​​alt-J

Real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero

Back against the wall and odds
With the strength of a will and a cause
Your pursuits are called outstanding
You're emotionally complex

Against the grain of dystopic claims
On the thoughts
Your actions entertained
And you have proved to be

A real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero
Real human being

A pilot on a cold, cold morn'
One-hundred fifty-five people on board
All safe and all rescued
From the slowly sinking ship

Water warmer than his head
So cool in that tight bind
Knew what to do
And you have proved to be

A real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero
Real human being
And a real hero
Real human being

​​alt-J

alt-J is an English indie rock band that consists of vocalist and guitarist Joe Newman, keyboardist and bassist Gus Unger-Hamilton and drummer Thom Green. Gwil Sainsbury was the band’s bassist before leaving the band in early 2014.

Formed at Leeds University and signed to a label in Cambridge, UK, the band originally made songs on Garageband before releasing them under the pseudonym ∆.

∆’s name takes a little explaining. Pronounced alt-J, the delta sign is inserted when you press alt and J on a Mac keyboard.
