Thank you :)
Somos héroes en todo
Yes I agree, thank you for the nice comments 😀
Hi Ivan,
Would you truly find somebody that isn't a Hero on Planet Earth 🌎?!!! Being Born a HUMAN is being a HERO in itself, isn't it?
Each - almost always - has at least one HEROIC TALE to TELL, which in a sense equates him/her to being a HERO, at least for ONE DAY (I RECKON) - True to David's Lyrics/ELEVATING PERFORMANCE, is that not true?!!!
The moment your Video/Music COMMENCED, I knew we were into "SOMETHING" AHEAD!!! JUST GREAT!!! 👌👌👌👌👌
Those Trees Around, all over ... - It made it all the more SPECIAL. VERY, VERY NICE!!! 👌
Regards/Love,
Venky (India)
Hi Venky, thank you for a very nice comment 😊. I agree with you at every point. As for the trees, that part of the forest was cut some time ago, so those trees now exist only in this video 🌲🌲
Hello Ivan,
Thanks, Very Much Indeed - Your Reply.
Music/Nature/Emotions - How they "MAGICALLY" "CONNECT" us all!!!
A Half-a-Century of my life, it's Trees/Nature that I am almost-always surrounded with/immersed in, and would one have to say how it REALLY FEELS like?!!! Trees/Nature - How they "PROVIDE/HEAL" you!!! (Isn't it)?
Those Trees/Nature in your Video was something that INSTANTLY CAPTIVATED me, followed by your "Artistic" Presentation.
It saddens me now to hear from you, in terms of THOSE VERY TREES that I so Cherished having been "RAZED," forever!!! Hope they have taken up some "Afforestation/Restoration" work.
Nonetheless, please continue with your GREAT ARTISTIC Work. May you deliver many more Great Music Videos ...
Looking Forward ...
All the Best. 👍
Venky
I love this amazing song!!!!!

Mein Lieblingslied hast Du gut hinbekommen! Auch die Stimme passt gut. Vielen Dank dafür sagt Laura aus Sachsen-Anhalt 🍀
Thank you for a nice comment Laura 😊 Greetings from Denmark 👋
Everyone who"s covering David Bowie"s Heroes is a Hero!
Yes, I think he wrote it so everybody could feel like heroes when listening to it :)
Yes. I am an Italian living in Slovenia and I clap my hands on you. Bravo. You were singing in the forest, between the Cure and the Thin White Duke, isn'it? Ah ah ah. Buonanotte, caro.
Thank you, Slovenia is a very nice country :) Unfortunately, I haven't visited Italy yet, but I'm planning to. Hehe the forest is in Denmark, and a fun fact is that my girlfriend (the camerawoman) and I were almost eaten by ants, there were so many of them and can even be seen in some parts of the video, walking up on my legs :S Greetings from Denmark :)
@@ivanslukan Thanx, have a nice day.

Espectacular interpretación de un genio de la música como fue David Bowie y su melodía más conocida Heroes🇪🇦
Thank you Jesús ☺️ Greetings from Denmark 👋
@@ivanslukan Eres un fenómeno Iván te animo a que sigas deleitándonos los oídos con melodías cómo estás te deseo lo mejor en el mundo de la música te lo mereces suerte un abrazo desde Zaragoza 🇪🇦
Canta muito esse garoto, ficou simplesmente top..
Thank you Francisco, I appreciate that 😊
Show ❤🇧🇷 sucesso...
Thank you Marina :)
This is so good. Well done.
Thank you, I appreciate that 😊
Great instrumentation, it would be cool to see the other guitar parts being played.
Thank you :) ...unfortunately, I haven't recorded video for the other parts, I have only audio. Interesting story is that I recorded all the guitars two times, cause I bought Boss Katana Artist before recording this cover, so I recorded all the guitars with it because at first I liked the sound. Before that, my amp of choice was Orange Crush Pro 120. After a few days I started playing guitar through my Orange again, and didn't like the sound of Katana anymore, so I sold it and rerecorded all the guitars with Orange :)
Very good Bro'. Uitstekend!
Thank you :) I don't know what "uitstekend" means though 🤔
@@ivanslukan brilliant .... Afrikaans from South Africa
Nice :) Greetings from Denmark 👋
Muito bom
Muito obrigado :)
My favourite Bowie song, you have done well sir!
Thank you for that, I appreciate it! 😊
Yep.
Thank you Anthony 😊
Wow! What a talent you are...best cover ever...where can I buy/download your music? Hi from California.
Thank you for a nice comment! Currently I don't sell any music, everything is here on my youtube channel, available for free. Maybe I'll make a Patreon page or something similar one day, I'll think about it. For now I can send you all the songs if you want, just send me an e-mail, you can find my e-mail address in the description of every video :) Greetings from Denmark
@@ivanslukan Thank you, Ivan, you're very kind! In the meantime I've saved all your beautiful music (what a voice! what great arrangements!) to a folder here. I will look out for any updates that you post. Igen, mange tak !!
@@avid4info893 selv tak, and thank you for the nice words 😊

Wow! I had honestly thought you had way more views than this! Great cover :)
Thank you :) It's not easy to get views these days, but maybe they'll come one day :D
this is really good, one of the few covers i actually think is close to the original
Thank you, I really appreciate that 😊
Que pedazo de rola
Thank you 😊
bravo lai cantata bene ....
Thank you 😊 I appreciate that 🙂
Just to let you what a beautiful cover you played...I listened twice. Check out Widespread Panic’s cover if you haven’t heard it. I love playing this song, but I can’t sing. Well done!
Thank you for a nice comment :D I checked them out and woow really great, I wish I could find a band like them :)
This is a masterpiece! If I credit you, can I use it in a video?
Hi,thank you 😊 yes, feel free to use it...send me the link of your video 😉
@@ivanslukan of course i will :)
@@ivanslukan hey dude i has uploaded the video :) your heroes cover appear at minute 22:30 🤑

I don't want to perish like a fading horse.
I don't think anybody wants that :)
Good song but who are playing the guiters ,Not you ? its just too perfect..????
Thank you, there are a few guitar tracks in the song, but I can't play all of them in the same time :) (of course I played them when I was recording the song ;) )
@@ivanslukan Ivan its still a,great version ,and now after yr Imagine cover uv got a.new fan best of luck to you ,from Ireland
@@finbarmaguire5668 thanks, greetings from Denmark ;)
People need to sing with their own voice instead of trying to sound like Bowie. No disrespect, mate, great effort.
Hi, I just sang it how I felt it, if it sounds to you like David, that's a compliment 😊 thank you for the comment 🙂
@Ivan Slukan I did enjoy it. As a Bowie fan of 50 years I've heard many people sing his songs. Your version is up there 👍
@@mister3566 thank you, it is nice to hear that ☺️
Sorry. I didn’t get the backdrop. Pretty distracting to me.
Hi, I'm not sure I understand what you mean 🤔
I found myself more focused on the background and not the music. The background was distracting, at least to me.
@@j.andrewwrinkle2172 you mean the video distracted you? Here is an interesting fact: I'm kind of glad that we made that video on that location because that part of the forest doesn't exist anymore...they cut the trees 🌳🌳
Well, then there you have it!
The skill in singing this song is not to try and sound like Bowie, get the phrases right and inject your own passion, then it will be authentic.
Hi Craig, thank you for the comment, singing is a very hard skill to learn, and I'm still learning. Moreover, I like Bowie's emotions when he sings that song, so I didn't want to change things too much, cause for me, that is how the song is supposed to sound like :)
Lip sync & auto tune =(
Hej Joe, thank you for the comment. I would much rather prefer to have a whole band and always play live in front of the audience, but that is not how things work these days, so I have to be satisfied with recording/programming every instrument myself and then lip sync on UA-cam videos, which is on the other hand not that bad because that way I can reach more audience than just playing live locally. The biggest downside of youtube and doing everything by myself is that it takes muuuuch more time than doing it with a band. As for the auto-tune, yes I used it on a couple of first videos, just because literally everyone uses it, but after a couple of people who heard me singing live said that I sounded much better without adding auto-tune or any special effects, then I stopped using auto-tune and I also like it better that way. Honestly, I don't hear much difference in my voice with or without the auto-tune 🤔
Todo un lujo volver a seguirte y verte interpretar esta magistral melodia todo un icono del genio de Bowie un fuerte abrazo desde zaragoza 💪🇪🇦
Thank you, greetings from Denmark 😊
