The lyrics are simply fantastic. David talks about two lovers who meet in Berlin, but there's also a reference to WW II. "And the shame, was on the other side. We can beat them, for ever and ever. Then we can be heroes, just for one day". I think that's about the Russian Army, who after defeating the Nazis in Berlin and winning the war, instantly gets in another one with the US and starts being trated like a foe again. Well, that's my interpretation.

@xTNTxReaper parece que toqué un punto en el que no te quedan más palabras mas que los insultos, el silencio te hubiera ayudado más a no ser tan patético

I was always regarded as a bit weird at school, not interested in the stuff all the other girls were, all that boy band pretty pretty crap. David Cassidy? Nah, this was my first and only David! And for his music ..... because let's face it, the looks were pretty unreliable. Sheer talent - and where are all the pretty pretty's now eh? eh? eh? Gone and forgotten.
My heart rate normally is between 71-74 bpm. While watching David Bowie in this video though, it spiked up to 101!!! Hehehehehe he is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOTT!!!!!!!!
Hello Youtube! I'm sure you get this a lot, but I'm a 16 year old male singer-songwriter with a mission. I want to be a professional singer and only you can help me achieve that goal. I have written two songs that you may be interested in "Sup" and "Puzzlebox". Please could you take the time to listen, comment and rate. It doesn't matter whether you love it or hate it, I just need some advice. If you're into acepellas and ballads then this is for you! Thank you!
LEGENDry...Heroes, Absolute Begginers, Space Oddity and the Film... my first Matrix or Davids Feature Length Movie ( Do you want a cup of TEA ) Labyrinth.
Heroics brought me here. I was in danger of falling into the mundane audacity of day-to-day existence, then was swept up by desire to go further, and it saved me from a life of shallow atrocity. Nothing is more tragic than a life left to languish as a mere mortal. There are pursuits designated for higher existence. But make no mistake: the decision to go one's own way is a hard and risky endeavor. If you're just like everyone else, then you're no one. Heroes are the ones who take on uncertainty.
@1997benny Nooooooooooooo he's hot. Besides I know Jimmy Page and Mick Jagger have been with younger gals so it isn't awkward. Bowie oozes sexiness ;D
I was 12 when i first heard the walflowers sing this and then my aunt played the original and I loved it and I will always love it. Thanks David Bowie.
@b3ny4x I guess if potatoes were cute and could swim people would make videos about how they are being slaughtered and eaten. Then they would say that it is wrong and take away the French Frys.
Truncated 'single version' of a great song, from a great album, from a great phase of Bowie's career, the Berlin phase — resulting in 'Heroes', 'Low' and 'Lodger'. ('Heroes' and 'Low' kick serious butt.)
Well, there is Bowie and nothing for a very long time. There is just nothing like him - what a personality and great talent - I will always be greatful for his Music - whenever I feel the least bit worried or sad - I watch him on YouTube and he always chears me up.

Lots of people not only cannot comprehend the Iron Curtain now, but weren't even born then.... The threat was real and " shame was on the other side" .Just ask the 100 million Chinese enslaved for our prosperity...... They are are f----- as we are! love light and peace p
@garlicbuttermushroom Yeah, that's the only difference between his eyes. The iris is blue on both sides. But he once got hit in the eye by someone who was wearing a ring, causing a lot of damage. His pupil doesn't change size anymore on that side. That's why a lot of people think his one eye is brown.
Here's the situation: David Bowie never told the real story behind the "Heroes" album for a couple of reasons. One was that if everyone knew that the entire album was written to a hetero sexual man, some people wouldn't listen to it. The other was a legal reason. If he told the real story, the real people who are in the story would have some legal rights to the story and could sue him for it.
