Love this song. Always watch when it pops up by many various singers. No one comes close to the warm tones that Quinn achieves that match the piano so well, especially on those high notes. So good.
Absolutely, positively… Stunning! Wow! You have an incredible instrument. I have always loved this song and longed to hear the voice that could really sing it. And I actually feel like I just found it. God bless you and your voice
This is a gorgeous and enchanting recording Ryan. What a fabulous voice you have.I’m so happy to have run across it. I hope many others get to be moved by your performance as I am.
John Nauman what????????? I’m OBSESSED!! His music is so difficult. Complex, dissonant yet beautiful!!!! I am really obsessed with the instrumental arrangements on the album! They are so beautiful!!!

I've listened to many versions on and offline and I have to say, I've never heard someone who sings it with such finesse.
Many great versions of this lovely song available, but I keep coming back to this one by Ryan Quinn.
Effortless and smooth. I could listen to you all day! Fantastic.
Really amazing version of Hero and Leander!! I think Adam Guettel would so approve!!
One of the best renditions if this difficult song I’ve heard!!!
just saw this guy on the Voice and he's my absolute favorite

Beautiful Ryan. Beautiful pianist. I played Myths and Hymns with Adam.
Thank you so much, John. That's incredible!
Adam never sings this song, too hard. Way to go!

Lyrics
Could I be Leander?
On a wave am I borne?
Borne to a new home across this lonely sea?
Could you be my Hero, heart afire?
My lighthouse on the shoreline-
Could you be that to me?
Oh, I need you-
I need the rise and fall of your voice.
Oh, I love you,
And now I have a love to rejoice.
Hero and Leander, how your passion is brave.
Even if I drown here inside this wave,
My lighthouse on the shoreline,
My passion on this lonely sea,
My loving you was meant to be.
