Neil Finn - "Heroes" (David Bowie cover, live from home)

[@bovisjeaks]

Theres nothing better than a talented person with an acoustic guitar, period.

[@nc_oakland]

Yes, there is, period.

[@spalewsky1974]

Totally!

[@tkomauer]

so you dont hear hear the bass line?

[@gatoryak7332]

@@tkomauer Everything I hear is either voice or acoustic guitar, simultaneous, single take. I'm guessing that you don't play guitar.

That Most Certainly Was Bowie's Immortality Coming Through And Hitching A Ride With Neil Finn.....Great Ride.....Well Driven.

I wish I lived next door to him.

Neil Finn covering David Bowie, absolutely perfect.

[@Royeblack-nv9et]

Yeah so true Neil has been one of my best since my childhood my friend Mary and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook 🌺🌺🌺

[@austincellar]

Pretty good

[@henrylawson430]

Neil Finn, never young, never old, always cool.

[@Claire-om1cw]

Isn't he? He's so fookin talented too.

[@tkconnell]

And always with great hair.

[@Joshualuv13]

So true.well said.

Love his hair too

[@jfcjake]

Well said.

[@alekshai9629]

It is Amazing Neil Finn....

[@SDSsongs]

Hits that high note with no fear. What a legend.

[@DiscoFang]

​@josephcrsn You should have stuck to a previous comment of yours about not being able to sing. Bowie had a range of more that 3 1/2 octaves.

[@muttleycrew]

One of Bowie’s best, which is really saying something, performed by one of the world’s best ballad writers and performers. You could parachute this man into any city in the world carrying nothing but a guitar and he’d draw a crowd in minutes

[@cortya]

Perfectly said Muttley

[@Undercoverbrotherfromanother]

Too true. That statement could describe his career at ant point.

[@muttleycrew]

@@Undercoverbrotherfromanother Absolutely. Not just an outstanding musician, also a brilliant composer and lyricist. I was a fan of Split Enz from first contact, which happened for me in 1979 or 1980 or thereabouts at the age of 9 or 10, living in the cultural wasteland of Perth, Australia. Would still rate _Message To My Girl_ as one of the greatest songs ever written. Musically and lyrically flawless.

[@ThePorkypete51]

He'd draw in a crowded house

My favorite too Adam 👌

[@certifiedbiker580]

I have never heard Neil sing better than this, getting better as he gets older, and can you imagine being his neighbours you wouldn't be telling him to turn the music down. Brilliant

[@alejandrosicardi9531]

Simple , Direct , Natural... Brillant !!!

[@josabudsf]

Neil took requests on Mixlr, Fang Radio broadcasts back in 2020... this was my request ❤

[@CarminaSuzanneFatta]

Hearing this live during the broadcast was probably the best thing that happened to me the entire pandemic. This is an absolutely epic performance and one of the best interpretations of this song

[@governorriffraff7601]

It was incredible. What a talent.

[@1957PLATO]

Such a great tribute to David. He is smiling from above

[@Dehzee]

I love how certain guitar players are so distinctive you can't mistake them for anyone else. When I hear this acoustic version, I realize how true this is of Neil. No production or accrutriment and that distinctive sound is there. I loves it.

[@drewbabydrew7742]

He's just bloody amazing

[@franksteyn]

Mr Finn proves in a fine way that the Amin-G sequense (at o.43) works just as wel as the Amin-Emin in the pre chorus which is also played by some ...Always been a big Crowded House fan myself,I find it fantastic to see him doing other people's stuff...Cheers ...

[@jeffwhitehead7990]

worthy of another listen.

[@santytjet]

I love this man! More than 30 years have passed and he still sounds as pure as ever!

[@akwinoz]

Couldn't have said it better. Neil is definately one of my musical heroes and David is the other.

[@lanternerouge8268]

Since the pandemic when I heard this for the first time, it’s become one of my all time favorite performances of any song ever. Nicely done, sir. And thank you.

Thanks for sharing. Thanks for Sharon.

[@ericlange3476]

Thank you Neil and Nick for your kindness. I worked for EMI /Capitol Canada a while back. When Temple of Low Men came out. Working for a record label can truly be shit when you really believe in music and a certain band and you must deal with the "pleasure" of music business politics.. You made my job feel worthwhile......And I think of Hessie often...Cheers....

[@lauskop5995]

Hats off to you Neil. The octave up in the singing made my day. Stay healthy, all the best from germany

[@raymondmcmenemy303]

I like Bowie's German version of "Heroes" from the film "Christiane F. Neil does a great cover here though. He is a wonderful artist.
