Never really cared about the music of David Bowie until they played some of his songs after he died. One of these songs was “Heros”, which was recorded in legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin. The song was written together with Brian Eno, who also produced songs for U2. Hansa Studios were obviously an inspiring place, also for the band U2, who produced their album “Achtung Baby” here.
This is the original song “Heros” performed by David Bowie when it was released 1977.
And this is the modern version from Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor from the elephant medley of the movie “Moulin Rouge”. “Heros” will start at 2:22 min.
Update January 13, 2016: “Heros” was also recorded in other languages, this is the German version (German starts @ 2:15 min).
