Written and recorded in Berlin, 1978-the lyrics are an allusion to the Berlin Wall, the story, mostly fictional, was about 2 lovers, who lived on opposite sides of the wall, and had to meet in secret, clandestinedly--Bowie’s vocal is amazing, it gets louder and more expressive, and more desperate, and forlorn as the song goes on...he’s truly an actor in this song--it’s amazing--.........once, my younger friend Elijah asked my friend Dan to “burn him a Bowie mix cd”, Dan said “sure”....the next day, at work, he gave it to him.....on the way home from work, listening to it, Elijah soon discovered that Dan had just put the song “heroes” on the disc about 15 or 20 times in a row---lol---it’s one of Bowie’s most ridiculously great masterpieces--not a lot at the time sounded like that, or had subject matter like that--it’s was very, very modern

I love this song. And speaking of war. Peter Gabriel does a remake of this song for the movie Lone Survivor about Marcus Luttrell and Operation Redwings in Afghanistan where Marcus survived but his three other team members were killed. It’s a much darker and somber version of this song. It drove me to tears. As a combat vet who lost 14 men I call brother and seeing them put a new meaning to the song for me. It showed the men who died in their family lives and it’s a very difficult thing to see with them gone. Sorry for the droning on.

1975 to 1979-80 was an amazing time for Bowie, he pretty much invented “art rock” and the “new wave”, almost.....almost singlehandedly....by 1977, others were doing it, but he took it even more to the extreme...amazingly prolific time for him...and he got more and more off drugs as that time period progressed, people said “the straighter looking he gets, the weirder the music becomes”....he was completely sober by about 1981, and never touched anything again until his death 35 years later

@lumpyfishgravy 2 года назад

When I was barely a teenager and just starting to learn about the history of music in the early 80's - a close friend of mine began teaching me about the importance of Bowie. He started me with Ziggy Stardust and then took me up to the present period. And though I didn't spend alot of time listening to Bowie - I was always aware of how important his music was. What i learned over time is there are some artists that are so prolific that they are admired by all other artists within their profession - and Bowie was that musical artist. Every musician across every genre admired Bowie. Bowie was a musician, a lyricist, a performance artist, a social commentator, and ultimately he was a mirror - being held up to the rest of us to see our own selves - the human condition that connects us. I hope you keep listening to more of his music and do your best to catalogue it - aggregate it - and re-listen to it. Your viewer named Vincentvancraig wrote a terrific summary of this song - and you have only scratched the surface with Bowie. Thank you for your reactions.

Oh no! It makes me kinda sad that Lex isn't "feeling" Bowie yet. He was such a huge inspiring force for so many decades. All of his songs sound different, which made him unexpected and recognizable simultaneously, an almost impossible feat in the music industry. Maybe check out "Changes" or "Lazarus" for some really hardcore meaningful lyrics. Thanks for the reaction!

I was totally thrown when Black Star came out, the thing is with Bowie, it's works of art. You think of when Ashes to Ashes came out in 1980. It was like nothing going around at the time. Bowie was a genius. Tony Visconti, genius also for arranging this song heroes and working on Blackstar. They were such an awesome team.

@fern 2 года назад

I know what you mean by he doesn't seem like he's singing, more like he's talking and that is part of the art to Bowie. In this case the angst of separation, of the situation they're in, the desperation. Think of Bowie's music as little plays/art pieces and he sings accordingly. His range is incredible, from angst, soulful, alien, rocknroll etc... he does it all, and he does it very, very well :) Love Bowie

I know it wasn't written for these events, but two times I saw him do this live made me tear up. Once at Live Aid, and once at the Concert for New York City, which was to honor the first responders, a few weeks after 9/11. At Live Aid, the artists were theoretically being heroes with the benefit concert, and in MSG they were honoring real heroes, and their families. The lyrics don't match up so much, but the chorus does. You should check those out when you can. We can ALL be Heroes even if it's just for one day...

It's indeed about the Berlin Wall. Or more precisely the feeling of division of the soul, of unrootedness, and the search for a meaning of the meaningless that it represented in all of us who lived under the shadow of the Cold War, trying to find that ever elusive light at the end of the tunnel.

@markhentz764 2 года назад

It is about the Berlin Wall. The backstory is that Bowie was recording the album at a studio near the wall in West Berlin in 1977 at the height of the Cold War. There was a lot of paranoia in West Berlin at the time for fairly obvious reasons and that came through in a lot of the music recorded there at the time. Anyway, Bowie and the crew took a short break from recording one night and his producer, Tony Visconti and Visconti's girlfriend decided to go for a walk outside. A little bit later Bowie went outside to have a cigarette and he found Visconti and his GF having a make out session right near the wall in full view of one of the East Berlin guard towers and the the armed guards in the tower were enjoying themselves watching it all. There's no particular reason why Visconti and GF stopped then and there for their make out session, that's just where they happened to be when the moment overtook them. OTOH, Bowie decided to reimagine it as a heroic, defiant, f-you to the commies on the other side of the wall and wrote the song as we now know it.

Inspired by the sight of Bowie's producer-engineer Tony Visconti embracing his lover by the Berlin Wall, the song tells the story of two lovers, one from East and one from West Berlin. Bowie's performance of "'Heroes'" on 6 June 1987, at the German Reichstag in West Berlin has been considered a catalyst to the later fall of the Berlin Wall. Following his death in January 2016, the German government thanked Bowie for "helping to bring down the Wall", adding "you are now among Heroes".

There he was in a Movie, but taken too much Drugs too.They called it the David Bowie Diet, one Yogurt in the morning and then only Heroin.This was the Song of Movie We Children from Zoo Station en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiane_F._(film) The song sounds better in a newer Version, without all the Drugs. It seem that he was using more like Punkversion at this Time in Berlin, Punk was at this Time on the Top.But never believe a Punk, all what he wants is a new Drug.And its not the Berlin Wall.Its only the Wall,because it was 1370 Kilometer long and between whole Germany.

There is a Saturday Night Live performance of Boys Keep Swinging, I think, from the Lodger album, that is mind crushing in its art. Just a stunning performance, when I saw his show about three years later for the Let’s Dance tour he had changed to a whole new idea already

This song ist strongly connected to West-Berlin. David Bowie lived there for ca. 3 years. To me the "soundscape" of this song is influenced by velvet underground's "i am waiting for the man". Anyway greetings from Berlin.

That first stop was a Classic of wrong time - though the bad copy used undermined the moment too.

Bowie's got a lot of phases. Folkie young guy with an acoustic guitar, and then glam rocker with wild costumes, then a definite R&B influence when he came to the states and began working with more African American musicians, and after that a move to Berlin and some new collaborative partners drawing from European electronica. This song is from his Berlin period in the late 70s, and it is definitely about the Berlin Wall. The wall didn't come down until 1989. But there's an interesting story about Bowie performing this song at a music festival in Berlin in 1987. The city was still divided, but the concert promoters in the west got permission to broadcast into the eastern part. They also put the stage near the wall so that people in the eastern part could gather and hear the music live. Bowie performed on the second of three nights and said that singing this song was incredibly emotional because he could hear people singing along from both sides of the wall. But that's not all that happened. On the third night of the festival, the East German police decided they had enough of the crowds gathering on their side and cracked down with water cannons and mass arrests. A week later Ronald Reagan went to Berlin and famously asked Mr. Gorbachev (then leader of the Soviet Union) to "tear down this wall." That period is considered a turning point in public opinion in East Germany, and two years later the wall was down.
