    I have tears in my eyes now, this year, on Aug 17, my Dad lost his battle with cancer, my 2nd marriage collapsed, and I am now battling covid 19. Thank you for such a touching version.

    That was an excellent version. Shows really how beautiful that song is when completely stripped down.

    Oh my dear Lord. It is always a risk taking a driving song down to a mellow flow. You have achieved this and I am all the better for seeing and hearing this. Thank You.

    I usually hate acoustic covers because they're usually sound very generic, but this one is brilliant.

      @@graygayslay may be david won't hate it but this version certainly has damaged the feel of this song. Sorry MJ but i said what i feel. But you're a great singer i give u that.

    Oh!! My!! I was searching for covers of HEROES and THIS popped up. This hits a much different spot than Peter Gabriel and Motorheads rendition, very close to David's, with a bit more emotion. Thank You M J

    ""Heroes""
    I, I will be king
    And you, you will be queen
    Though nothing will drive them away
    We can beat them, just for one day
    We can be Heroes, just for one day
    And you, you can be mean
    And I, I'll drink all the time
    'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
    Yes we're lovers, and that is that
    Though nothing, will keep us together
    We could steal time,
    just for one day
    We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
    What d'you say?
    I, I wish you could swim
    Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
    Though nothing,
    nothing will keep us together
    We can beat them, for ever and ever
    Oh we can be Heroes,
    just for one day
    I, I will be king
    And you, you will be queen
    Though nothing will drive them away
    We can be Heroes, just for one day
    We can be us, just for one day
    I, I can remember (I remember)
    Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
    And the guns shot above our heads
    (over our heads)
    And we kissed,
    as though nothing could fall
    (nothing could fall)
    And the shame was on the other side
    Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
    Then we could be Heroes,
    just for one day
    We can be Heroes
    We can be Heroes
    We can be Heroes
    Just for one day
    We can be Heroes
    We're nothing, and nothing will help us
    Maybe we're lying,
    then you better not stay
    But we could be safer,
    just for one day
    Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh,
    just for one day

    I have listened to this amazing performance many times in the past. For some reason I needed some sanity in my day with all the problems around us and this did the trick perfectly. You really did nail this performance to perfection, and like a fine wine it has matured with age! Such clear vocals and guitar picking skills, fantastic I wish you all the very best for this and all the years you have on this planet👍🍻

    @HistoryNerd1792 8 років тому +1

    With a song as powerful as "Heroes", it can be easy to lose the energy of the original in a cover. I can absolutely say that you did the song justice. You managed to keep the emotional intensity while toning down the song. Well done. The only thing I would recommend would be to possibly at more of a crescendo on the last verse, especially in the line about the guns. However, that's much more of a personal preference. Either way, an excellent performance.
