Anzac Day Tribute Heroes Just For One Day by Chris Simon and Sonia Mansour. Originally remastered 2010 and posted to YouTube to commemorate (& celebrate) Anzac Day late April and Anzacs "just for one day" each and every year. Because Anzac Day is all about "Heroes" and reflecting on today's armed forces overseas and all armed forces defending human rights.

We especially thank Peter Gabriel, David Bowie and the wondrous YouTube and Google Communities for their encouragement in helping us put this video and a lot of the archival photography and footage together. You're all heroes and many more are shown in the video and covered in all our explanations.

CREDITS: Starring Yogi Darren Ma, my Bikram Yoga Teacher; 2d animations of Stardust by Sonia Mansour; David Bowie/The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (1972) Original Album Cover Art photographed by Brian Ward and art directed by David Bowie, George Underwood and Terry Pastor. Also available as public art in first class British Royal Mail 2010 Postage Stamps.

Music: Heroes: Written by David Bowie and Brian Eno. Published by EMI Music Publishing Ltd; BMG Songs Ltd; RZO Music Ltd.

Second version of Heroes performed Live by Robert Fripp with King Crimson as a Heroes Tribute to David Bowie at The USA Chicago House of Blues late October 2000 and never officially released, but available now for paid download and use at the dgmlive site.

Main theme and unique 2010 interpretation of Heroes performed and sung by Peter Gabriel with The London Scratch Orchestra led by Louisa Fuller, 2010. From the 2010 new Peter Gabriel record Scratch My Back. Produced by Peter Gabriel with Bob Ezrin. Peter Gabriel has been touring the world with this show and many triumphant performances already recorded.

Please think respectfully and give generously to your neighbours, fellow man, wildlife and, particularly, orgs like The Red Cross and Amnesty International, (two orgs that Anzac's, Diggers' and their Families respect)..

For all other relevant explanations and original backgrounds about this video that always celebrated liberty and the protection of human rights, see:

You get to this profile via the main brilliant Peter Gabriel site, where you can also check out the special Box set of Scratch My Back. All artists have reciprocated the unique Gabriel treatments of their work by scratching his back with their own covers of Peter's songs. PG - forever innovative and God Bless all Armed Forces.
