'Wind Beneath My Wings' (Guitar instrumental)

"Wind Beneath My Wings" (sometimes titled "The Wind Beneath My Wings" and "Hero") is a song written in 1982 by Jeff Silbar and Larry Henley.

The highest-charting version of the song to date was recorded in 1988 by singer and actress Bette Midler for the soundtrack to the film Beaches. This version was released as a single in early 1989, spent one week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in June 1989, and won Grammy Awards for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year in February 1990. On October 24, 1991, Midler's single was also certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipment of one million copies.

I hope you enjoy my instrumental version!

The way Geoff plays guitar is so smooth it's a pleasure to listen to. He's one of the best l have heard since Hank.

My husband has been the wind beneath my wings for many years. I love this! Thank you.

I don't have the wingspan that you have my awesome brother, but I can feel the wind in my face when you play these beautiful songs so wonderfully. I thank God for people like yourself who bring the beauty of music to those of us who don't have your talents. My spirit sings along with your music, and I feel a small bit of the wonders that I might get to experience at the end of my race.

Beautiful words! For a moment I thought that the 'you' being referred to was a human being, later I found it is God, and I sighed a sigh of relief. Praise.

Took me back over 35 years to when this was my signature song, a motivational thing for the world-class pistol shooter I once was. Blame him, he was the one first dragged me kicking and screaming to the range.

Geoff you still play the best music, love to listen all the time I’m that one who told you about my grandson’s collection of guitars, but at this time of sorrow I just can’t put down how I feel, on Friday the thirteenth my wife of sixty five years passed away, (not the Conor Virus). She had heart failure, we often listens to your music at bed time she loved the back grounds etc. we have a large family (and I mean large) 4 of our own 2 boys. and 2 girls, they in turn gave us 9 grandkids, 22 great grandkids and 3 great great grandkids. I call that a blessing ..we had a wonderful life together, right now I’ m having trouble sleeping but your music does help, my favorite right is WIND BENEATH MY WINGS, , by the way I have a large collection of eagles., thank you for letting me get things off my mind., a lot of memories to keep me going and give me strength to keep going . GOD BLESS ALL. This is that 86 year old, the calf wild man..
