David Bowie - "Heroes"


Estranged Reality

Recommended Posts

"HEROES" is the absolute greatest song ever made.

It breaks my heart every time. It's not just the lyrics, not just the layering, not just the general production, but also Bowie's voice. Wow, just... wow. Ziggy Stardust is a great rock n' roll / glam rock album but Heroes is absolutely amazing. The entire album is superb but this song in particular makes it surpass the other two Berlin Trilogy entries ("Low" and "Lodger").

Okay, I feel better now.

I agree to the tee.

It's pretty good, but I wouldn't call it better then about... maybe 5 of the old gnrs songs for exemple. Just my opinion :ph34r:

I don't think it's better than any of the GN'R tracks. :ph34r:

Not much of a surprise there, mate.

What do you mean with this? :ph34r:

I don't think it's that good, just listened to it.

And was this covered some years ago, because I think I had heard the chorus before.

You're probably thinking of the cover by The Wallflowers, which I tend to prefer to the original:

I never really understood the attraction of the song to be honest. The Wallflowers cover has a more natural flow than the Bowie's IMO (I think it has a lot to do with the vocals), even though some people would probably say it's just more mainstream, dumbed down, what have you.
