Heroes by David Bowie

Genre: Rock
Year: 1977

"Heroes" is a song written by David Bowie and 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 Bowies fertile Berlin period, life in the city was crystallized into a 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 Bowies signature tunes and is well known today for its appearance in numerous advertisements. It has been cited as Bowies second most covered song after Rebel Rebel.Nicholas Pegg (2000). The Complete David Bowie': pp.90-92 Read full article at wikipedia.org
