š Released: 1982 š§ Written by: Sammy Hagar and Jonathan Cain (of Journey) Vocals: Sammy Hagar, with backing vocals by Mike Reno (of Loverboy)
šµ Theme & Meaning: A tribute to military veterans and those who served or sacrificed for their country. Highlights the idea that many real heroes go unrecognized, especially those who fought in wars. Lyrics reflect respect and remembrance for soldiers, particularly relevant in the post-Vietnam War era: āRemember the heroes / Who fight for the right to choose...ā Musical Style: Arena rock with soaring vocals, powerful guitar riffs, and a heartfelt chorus. Represents the more socially conscious side of Sammy Hagarās solo work before he joined Van Halen in 1985. āRemember the Heroesā is a strong, underrated track in Hagarās catalog, combining classic ā80s rock energy with a serious, respectful message ā honoring those who served with both passion and pride.
