HEROES - DAVID BOWIE - 12 strings guitar

[@epicycles700]

It's strange to me how songs or melodies with which I'm already familiar are fresh and mysteriously new when played upon the twelve string. The beauty of this is hard -- or impossible -- to really articulate. What a way to start my morning, with a hot cup of coffee and the exquisite sound of your guitar ringing through the air.

[@snozwanger760]

Thank you Angela! 100% agree. You found the words to say what my colander brain was trying to think.

[@johnpaul2285]

Thank you Angela ! 🙂 ❤

[@JD-rn8er]

Lovely. Thank you!

[@MartinMcMartin]

What a great song from the golden era 💛

[@pilotescort1]

Plays with her Heart full blown. So magnificently beautiful. 💖💖💖

[@rondidonato8552]

Heroic

[@NachtmahrNebenan]

This is *the* song to open the weekend 🤩 Thank you, Angela 🌺

[@kensurrency2564]

Thank you Angela, you are on fire lately!

[@danieldecastro8275]

SO TALENTED YOU ARE! Your harmonics are perfection incarnate! Thank you thank you for uplifting my spirit!

[@ronlafitte6864]

Angela, that is truly great music for not only my ears and eyes, but for my soul as well! Wonderful!! Thank you for such a great song! You have made my day!

[@carloscomstock7229]

Absolutely wonderful. Anything David Bowie recorded is a arrangement nightmare. You made this look easy. This shows your abilities.

[@SlimEstrada]

You nailed it. Nice playing. Especially those harmonics... So difficult on a 12string

[@travisnorman]

You sound better on one guitar than my entire band sounded together when we played this 😅 Fantastic arrangement and incredible performance as always, Angela. I especially liked how you interpreted the "call and response" vocal parts. Bravissima!

[@Littlewing6was9]

You're golden, Angela. That was very pleasant... I got lost for a minute 🎶 Have a beautiful weekend 🌼 🤗

[@thomasdecarlo8543]

Mr Bowie as Ziggy was one of my first concerts as a teenager. Always been a fan and this song was one of my favorites. You let me look at it in a new light. Thank you ..

[@TheStuport]

LOVE the history of this song! The Thin White Duke wrote this tune in dedication to a German couple who loved one another and vowed to always be together. They would meet under a Gun turret along The Belin Wall every single day! David Bowie sang this for the first time at The Berlin Wall in 1987 so that BOTH sides could hear the words! He said it was the most emotional performance he ever gave! 45 years later to the day Angela and you just did the same for ALL of us in this Community! Much Thanks for sharing this remarkable cover! Cheers and Blessings From Ohio and Keep Strutting Everyone!

[@harryschaefer8563]

Thanks for sharing this story. I wasn't aware of it. It's a beautiful story!

[@TheStuport]

@@harryschaefer8563 Appreciate this Harry! I too found out about it only yesterday as it was mentioned in another story I was reading. So, you can imagine how Cool it was to see that Angela's Surprise Tune was in fact this Gem of a song! I instantly got goosebumps by Angela's playing and by the sheer coincidence of the song and story too! Cheers Bruddah

[@JacobVBurg]

The story I've heard is that it was about his producer Tony Visconti and his German girlfriend who shared a quick kiss near the wall during a recording break at the studio. David saw them through the window and he said the image of them together conjured the idea that you described in your comment and he wrote the lyrics spur of the moment in the time it took them to return inside. So he used their quick moment together and expanded the idea into what became the song. edit: It's also a nod to the song "Hero" by the German band Neu! off their 1975 albume Neu! 75, a massive influence for both Low and Heroes as full albums. "Hero" is about the singer losing the love of his life because her family takes her back to Norway from Germany so that they can never see each other again. It ties heavily into the idea of star-crossed lovers separated by the Wall.

[@TheStuport]

@@JacobVBurg Awesome Read Jacob! Very much appreciate you taking the time to expound on this Story! Cheers Bruddah!

[@stefanhall3219]

Although Angela looks sad when she plays,she smiles when she is with her dog.

[@hansemannluchter643]

It's not sadness, it's total concentration. And if you pay close attention, at some point she always gives a little smile.

[@angelalancieri]

🙂❤🙂❤🙂

[@ronluckenbach9492]

always beautiful..your mastery of harmonics is amazing .. Dear David Bowie is , I dare say, smiling down on you.❤️

[@robbabcock_]

What a wonderful rendition of a classic song!

[@dpmedhurst]

Beautiful beyond compare. Thank you

[@douglasdegraff8335]

David Bowie was such a unique force in modern day composition. What a Great song to pick of his. No one in the world sounded like him. Thanks for remembering D.B. Angela.

[@recloakedworkshop]

As another 12 sting owner, your playing blows me away. Then you bring the harmonics in… I have no idea what reality is any more! Magnifica.

[@ascuoladahiroepeppy6118]

Complimenti Angela✨✨✨ Grande👏💐👏💐👏💐 Suoni da paura⭐️💫⭐️💫

[@sennapod9]

That’s beautiful. Thanks Angela.

[@samspookyrice9058]

Absolutely beautiful and amazing. I think Mr Bowie would have loved it.

[@curtispartain7352]

watching this one literally made tears well up in my eyes...gorgeous

[@artembalabin7042]

I don’t know how you do it, but it always turns out very, very talented. Thank you very much, Angela! Soon you will have a million subscribers! 💐💐💐

[@giovannigalloppa]

Thank you Angela for sharing. That's so beautiful. You should love David that much to play this way

[@bystrouska]

Grazie Angela! Just saw Moonage Daydream the other day, there's a bit where we see David playing the flamenco chords from Space Oddity, it reminded me how much I love the chime of a 12-string in conjunction with his music… this wonderful cover of Heroes drives the point even further home. Gorgeous tribute!

[@angelalancieri]

Thank you ❤😀For me David is a visionary artist and unreachable... I love his music, I hope to play more of his songs in the future 🙂🌈❤

[@craigberbling1812]

Angela, listening to you play... It's like you are plucking the strings of my emotions. Thank you for sharing!

[@basanova3382]

Hearing you play is spiritual, watching you play is priceless! 🌹💕☮️

[@frankparto9196]

I could listen to this over and over again . Thank you …

[@frozenborderline2109]

If I'd heard this interpretation the day after the great man died, I would've been a wreck. Still enough to raise a lump in the throat and get slightly teary now. Pure beauty!

[@bennyvrads]

Thank you again! I am really amazed by you! Your playing and the whole vibe around you. If we were living together, I'd stop playing and just listen to you all the time...

[@olderendirt]

Perfect. Beautifully done.

[@kentcarter835]

Beautiful music. You never fail to amazing me.

[@mwblackbelt]

Absolutely lovely!

[@Peter-vn6gl]

There's nothing I could add that hasn't been articulated through the comments. Every person you touch with those arrangements are cast into a spell that allows the listener to really travel to another place. I haven't encountered an artist of your caliber in quite some time. Absolutely Beautiful.

[@simonemicele7604]

[@massimostangherlin3280]

Formidabile e talentuosa Angela! 🌹🎶🎼...arpeggiare con le dita una 12 corde già non è semplicissimo ma saper suonare come fai Tu 🌟 in modo così sublime e originale ti rende Magica 🌌 e Stellare 🎆😍 Complimenti! 👍♥️

[@angelalancieri]

Massimo 🙏🏼😊🌈🌸

[@JacobVBurg]

Simply amazing! Makes me so nostalgic because a 12-string fender acoustic was the first guitar I ever saved up for and bought with my own money. Wish I still had it! Something incomparable with 12 string vs 6 string especially in a solo arrangement.

[@jamesmcgraw724]

absolutely phenomenal play Angela… I had a talk with my 12 string after hearing this and it told me it did not speak or play Italian 😅

[@thomastommy1192]

Sounding great I love to hear those twelve strings. Thumbs up. Stay well & safe.

[@michaelpesce9235]

Beautiful cover, you really make that Martin sing👏👏👏👏

[@garybennetts6292]

Lovely arrangement can listen to it for hours 😊If you’re in the mood for Bowie try Ziggy on the 12 string it’s cool. ❤
