Whenever I hear this song, Field's of Gold and End of the innocence, it's the summer when I was 12 again. Right on the edge of childhood and growing up.

After the 1993 NBA finals, they played a compilation video to the song. I thought it was one of the neatest things I’ve ever seen. I was so excited when I stumbled across the video because I had no idea what song was. What a great song! RIP, David Crosby.

[@JmBvhntnt28]

Wow. What a memory!! Cool that you remembered it so well. Iconic song. David was amazing. RIP.

[@ryanv3858]

I never knew this was Crosby until now. As a kid I figured it was just some one hit wonder guy who had Phil do the backup vocals. This is definitely a great song, underrated. Never heard it on the radio again, but it always stuck with me

[@Beyondthelensproductions]

Yes this is a song that has always stuck with me too and I haven't heard it on the radio since I was a kid...

He has been gone for a year already and I have been a fan of his and Phil Collins for years since I started listening to this song all over again for first time since last year but he will be forever missed 💔 😢😢

[@mikematthews3984]

I remember this playing nonstop on the radio when I was 10. I assumed it must have been a huge hit. Looked it up on Wikipedia and it stalled in the 40s. Still a great song.

My best friend sent me this song when I was in the Marines back in 93. We fell out of touch, but this song reminds me of her everytime I hear it.

[@fredbenenati3430]

In the twilight of my Air Force Reserve career, this came out in the spring of 1993. First heard it in Denver, CO, then, This video is an absolute heartbreaker for those who experience family discourse. What a wonderful song.

[@affandyaffandy7016]

the only song i knew from David Crosby...... RIP and thanks for this very great song

[@carewdjc]

Rest in peace to one of the all-time greats, David Crosby. Too many wonderful people leaving this life. Though, David, I know you will be at peace, singing and having fun with all the greats in Heaven. #CSNY were always a favorite of mine. Yet this duet by David and Phil Collins blew me away. I was reading lots of Hemingway for a college course at the time. EH is my favorite BTW. The #Hemingway spirit resonates with "Hero." ❤ "He never wondered what was right or wrong. He just knew. He just knew."

David Crosby and Phil Collins were best of friends with each other and they had the best time record this song and I was thinking about how amazing they were and I miss him so much and I thank my lucky stars for being a fan of this song

[@JmBvhntnt28]

This video is kind of autobiographical in that this really was David Crosby's real life wife Janice. Idk who the child is. This is my favorite song of David's. The chords, tempo, simplistic tune reminiscent of the 1990's. Collins really shined here. David has sadly, left us as of yesterday. A once in a lifetime talent. I hope his mates make their peace w/him. RIP David.

[@laura.sefchik]

CROZ: I wrote the lyrics for "Hero," and then I had a motorcycle accident. I had already met Phil Collins at the Grammys - he walked up and said, "I'm your biggest fan." I said, ''I'm your fan. You make great records." He said, "No. If I Could Only Remember My Name - I know every song on it." So we became friends. After the accident he came over to visit in Encino and showed me the music for "Hero." When I got ready to do Thousand Roads, Jan and I flew to London and stayed at his house and studio complex in Surrey to make the record. PHIL: DAVID HAS BEEN A HERO OF MINE SINCE I FIRST HEARD THE BYRDS. HE WAS THE ONE WHO PICKED OUT THE WEIRD, BEAUTIFUL HARMONIES. I ACTUALLY TRIED TO GET HIM ON FACE VALUE, BUT I COULDN'T FIND HIM. HE LATER TOLD ME THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE LIKED HIM THEN! WHEN I SAW HIM GO TO JAIL, I WANTED TO HELP BUT DIDN'T KNOW HOW. THEN AT ATLANTIC RECORDS' 40TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT I WENT UP TO HIM TO SAY HELLO, AND WE BECAME INSTANT FRIENDS. HE SANG ON "ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE" WITH ME AND ON "THAT'S THE WAY IT IS” ON BUT SERIOUSLY. WRITING "HERO" WITH HIM WAS A BIG THRILL. HE GOT VERY SICK AFTER THAT, AND HE HAD HUGE HOSPITAL BILLS AND THE IRS KNOCKING AT HIS DOOR, SO I GAVE HIM THE MONEY TO PAY FOR HIS LIVER AND KEEP THE IRS AT BAY. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE HIM SOMETHING BACK FOR WHAT HE'D GIVEN ME: ALL THE MUSIC. LOVE HIM DEARLY. - PHIL COLLINS {Voyage -Disc 2 -Liner Notes}

[@coolcat6303]
