"Heroes" - David Bowie

submitted by Zifnab

1 decade 7 years 8 months 1 week ago

"Heroes" is a song written by David Bowie together with Brian Eno in 1977. Produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti, it was released both as a single and as the title track of the album "Heroes". A product of Bowie's fertile 'Berlin' period, life in the city was crystallized into the simple tale of two lovers who come together in the shadow of the 'Wall of Shame' (though here "the shame was on the other side"). While not a huge hit at the time, the song has gone on to become one of Bowie’s signature tunes and is well-known today for its appearance in numerous advertisements. (Thanks Wikipedia)

I always hated the remake by Bob Dylan's asshole son and his shitty group which I will not name. I had to listen to it way too much, by virtue of the fact that I was working in a few different places that year where I had no control over the radio. It is a great song though.

upvote for bowie, and for the song of our first dance at our wedding...

upvoted because, sometimes I feel as though I was born a couple generations too late
I wish I could have seen him in concert in the early 70's and could have experienced his music as it was being released.

Thanks for the promote twiddles

I got to see Bowie at Madison Square Garden in 1976, on the Station to Station tour. I still listen to the bootleg from the Nassau Coliseum Long Island show from that tour, his band was so tight, they were amazing. Then came "Low" which along with "Station to Station" was Bowie at his peak for me. A lot of the "Heroes" album was pretty disposable but the title track really does stand out. I stopped listening to him after "Lodger".

amazing song...amazing artist. nuff said
