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...

[@donmccullen1973]

Anything but a One Hit Wonder. Its just this was bigger with the adults than the college age and younger.

[@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]

I knew that Crosby sang on Phil's album but didn't know the rest of that until now. Very cool of Phil to help out David in his greatest time of need. Also, thx alot for sharing.

‘And the reason that she loved him was the reason I love him to he never wondered what was right or wrong he just knew’! What an amazing line!

[@edpaul1434]

What a magnificent song. It almost makes me wish to be back when it was out... almost. I'd say 1993 was the best year of its decade in popular music. Very well done David Crosby RIP and Phil Collins.

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.

[@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.

[@mikebillman8089]

I got called out of a pep session 15 minutes before the school ended for spring break and was told to go home. I got home and was told my 32 year old brother took his life. I left to go to my daily after school hangout 10 minutes away and this song played the whole time. It's not a 10 minute song...

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."

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.

It was one of those great stories That you can't put down at night The hero knew what he had to do And he wasn't afraid to fight The villain goes to jail While the hero goes free I wish it were that simple for me And the reason that she loved him Was the reason I loved him too And he never wondered What was right or wrong He just knew, he just knew Shadow and shape Mix together at dawn But by the time you catch them Simplicity's gone So we sort through the pieces My friends and I Searching through the darkness To find the breaks in the sky And the reason that she loved him Was the reason I loved him too And he never wondered What was right or wrong He just knew, he just knew And we wonder, yes, we wonder How do you make sense of this When the hero kills the maiden With his kiss, with his kiss Well, it was one of those great stories That you can't put down at night The hero knew what he had to do And he wasn't afraid to fight The villain goes to jail While the hero goes free I wish it were that simple for me Were that simple for me
