THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
118-David Bowie-Heroes.
1977-Number 24 single.After Bowie’s death in 2016 the song re-entered the chart reaching Number 12.
Best Bit-At 3.59.It was seeing what the Berlin Wall divided,and the sight of a couple embracing near it which inspired this tale of forbidden love.
Tired with the stresses of fame and his lifestyle Bowie uprooted for a change,moving to West Berlin in late 1976.This was where his three consecutively released Albums known as the ‘Berlin Trilogy’ were made,’Low(1977),’Heroes'(1977) and ‘Lodger'(1979.)
‘Heroes’ was co-written by Bowie and long term collaborator Brian Eno,it was produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti. Like many Bowie songs from that period the music was written before the lyrics.
Bowie(see also best songs 807-440-334-302-209 and 186) had seen Visconti embracing his lover by the Berlin Wall,Visconti at the time was still married to singer Mary Hopkin. This led to Bowie thinking of other types of forbidden love such as Gay relationships or interracial,and the symbolic Wall of Berlin dividing East from West.
Following Bowie’s death in 2016 the German government thanked Bowie for ‘Helping to bring down the Wall,’ adding,’You are now among Heroes.’
‘And the shame was on the other side,oh we can beat them forever and ever.’
