It’s the easier to sing

[@MicheleBowieAstrologer]

[@danielb5658]

Agreed

[@coolasamoose4299]

Agreed. Not one thing or note wrong with this version.

[@soniasheehan9903]

I love this song and with the orchestra addition makes it the most beautiful rendition of Heroes.

[@haledragon1]

Agreed 🙏🙏🙏

[@craigpospisil3937]

The absolute best version of this song. So frustrating to not have availability through other subscription streaming music. Thanks KZbin for keeping this alive!

[@cnw4x4]

I miss the 90’s...

[@danieltondorf-dick6083]

My heroes are my Mom and Dad.

[@miacrawford4662]

This is flawless

[@danielb5658]

Yeah, nothing against the greatness that is David Bowie, but this is my go-to version of the song. This one is by far the best version available… sorry, just facts.

[@DavidTransformer]

Many covers of this song but few do it justice. This is awesome

[@user-vt1ss2zt6s]

DavidTransformer Rare is the cover better than the original ....... the Wallflowers killed. Love their version.

[@crypttion2061]

I have been a fan of this band, and this video ever since it came out years ago. I had taken my kids to the movie, Godzilla, when it came out in the 90's (1998). And one night when I was channel surfing, during the same year or next, (not sure), I came across the MTV Music Awards on television just in time where they announced that the Wallflowers were about to perform. I patiently waited through the several severely long sponsored commercials, and this performance immediately started when the show came back on air. Til' this day, I am still awestruck at this live performance, many times with an open mouth, while watching this video reminiscent from that one night, (not so long ago) ;-) To begin with, the sound crew for this venue deserves a lot of credit. But the orchestra was just truly amazing, and shot this song into the stratosphere. And the synchronization between them and the Wallflowers is what makes this song and video one of my most favorite of all time. I am truly grateful to have experienced this live performance, even though I was not there in person. Just awesome!

[@SanFranciscoFatboy]

that is some heavey duty bass guitar...... dang, filled my whole building

[@dukeraoul100]

no one ever can reach bowie, but this is a amazing rendition too

[@rodenbamba5714]

Its originale Song by the late David Bowie,its Nice to heard this revival Song by Jacob Dylan as we know his father Is a famous singer also nothing to worry about the praise of this Song for me It will give an strength and Energy.

[@jessemendoza4967]

In the Keanu reeves movie replacements...ending scene ...he throws a pass , catched and touched down by an unlikely deaf player...then a victory with this intros of the song...Perfect!

[@1992mysuper]

The Best Cover...

[@helenstaines1674]

Dante guerrero torres I have listened to this song on many levels. This is the best.

[@Rhonals2011]

The Best cover ever

[@z.j.gordon5127]

I am not here to comment on a competition between the Master Bowie and the Walflowers. No. Yaakov Dylan is an extraordinary musician, who came from a great legendary father’s motivator. The irrepressible Bob Dylan. And Nothing to say about my Darling David Bowie and his brilliant career and fantastic musical legacy.. May his beautiful Soul be resting easy in the light of God 🙌🏼. Magnificent version! . . . . Today is June 27th 2022 . Blessed Be

[@tcrutch65]

Awesome cover

[@Byrontheone]

very powerful rendition by Jacob. If I were his father I would be most proud of him.

[@fcoorozco819]

the best cover

[@thelivinged]

amazing vocals jakob👌

[@luandagabriela]

Nunca me esqueço quando ouvi essa música a primeira vez, chorei. Justamente em 1998 e agora em 2023 me causa a mesma emoção. Que David Bowie esteja em um ótimo lugar e não fique chateado porque essa música está eternizada brilhantemente pelo The Wallflowers. ❤

[@sonicjet7759]

WE CAN BE HEROES JUST FOR ONE DAY :) YOUR RIGHT WE CAN REALLY BE HEROES JUST FOR 1 MOMENT IN LIFE

[@jaykwek5320]

Damn! that Drum intro fill in got me saying Dafark! Epic Cover!

[@fredpunzalan8592]

You nail it jacob

[@Ra-Unhsiv]

Pleasant song

[@ABC123THISWORK]

The 90's marked us all... that were not marked already. The ink on our souls provides us so much that we all know we could never truely voice it, but nothing on the face of this earth will ever prevent us from the feelings and experiences of it. A toast to all, and those yet to be marked as we are, I love all of humanity and hope and pray we all can be our own heroes.

[@SanFranciscoFatboy]

that is some pro bass tone right here fellas amd ladies..... something to aspire to!!!!

[@AlisonWild]

I spent many months puzzling over why I felt tangled up in this song (Bowie version) & then I just surrendered. Amazing.

[@Rikanlynx86]

I can't stop playing this song everywhere i go, whether when running, grocery shopping, writing, cleaning l, lol. it has to be one of my favorite songs ever

[@helenstaines1674]

Alison Wild Yep mate. Me too.

[@GreyStreet14]

Best cover in the history of mankind

[@paulodemarchi4003]

Incredible that this version of David Bowie's classic is already 20 years old! It's always great to hear it and know that this song is eternal, whether in the voice of the great David or in this very good version of this band! wonderful song!

[@zaxmack33]

RIP Mr. Bowie...they kept it real.

[@derrickgrey5456]

Was just Blown Away..

[@15Y15F]

Love how this song is played by Wallflowers.Live is great! 97 was their year.

[@stevenharris7614]

Love the bass and drum

[@joanofarcxxi]

Most beautiful man on earth, and a phenomenal cover.

[@paultrueman2]

Fabulous version of one of the top rock songs of all time!!!👍👍

[@blah89872]

What a performance, wish I was there

[@tulungsanty8806]

Awasome...wallflowers and orchestra❤....yacob❤

[@danlewis4723]

the perfect song to dance to with your friend after you've survived a war

[@darylmoore6711]

This is one of the RARE song remakes that actually turns out to be better than the original. No disrespect to Bowie. Thank you David Bowie for writing and composing a great song. I just prefer this version, it's more up-tempo and the song seems to have a better flow with the Wallflowers.

[@darylmoore6711]

I like Bowie's version too. I never said I didn't, I just prefer the Wallflowers version opposed to Bowie's. It's one of the few Wallflowers songs I liked. Just my opinion. 95% of the time, I prefer the original. This is one of the rare cases where I prefer the remake. My opinion.

[@zigomanis18]

Daryl Moore Totally agree Daryl. I never liked how Bowie sand it. He doesn't hold any notes, and sounds flat. This is a much more rocking version with much better vocals.

[@montereypines]

+Daryl Moore That's a sign of a great song. Sounds great when (almost) anyone does it.

[@Ritabug34]

+Daryl Moore I agree too I like David Bowies song, I just like it better in the remake, I 95% of the time like the original too

[@ovalyne]

+Daryl Moore +1 Mr Moore, it also brought the song back in the 90s, so I loved it when I was growing up (just wish they didn't sell out to that damn awful movie)

[@ariesdm1981]

Thank you, David Bowie! RIP

[@caseyruthlyle6845]

Definitely the best version of this song I've ever heard. Lead guitarist Michael Ward is such a great guitar player and vocalist too.

[@brettbays7530]

Masterpiece

[@marioalois6208]

Yo estaba en la secundaria cuando escuche esta canción y vi la película de godzilla ...buenos tiempos akellos...todo era alegriaaa..ahora a mis 33 años y después de este camino me doy cuenta ke la vida duele y duele de a madreeeee pero ya estamos aki y hay ke luchar para cuando llegue nuestro final irnos a un lugar mejor y encontrarnos con las personas ke hemos amado y se nos habían adelantado

[@enriquesanchez4417]

Yo la escuche cuando cursaba la prepa y desde ahí siempre tiene que estar en mi setlist de musica. Y como dice la cancion. Podemos ser héroes

[@cyberprimo7947]

También te podría contar muchas cosas de mi vida... Hermano. Pero bueno hablando del tema me gusta más esta versión que la original de Bowie.

[@donwbennett226]

An old man and makes me cry

[@terryrutherford2114]

So good...

[@starletep70]

An excellent cover and a great tribute to Bowie. My favorite.

[@fredfagnan320]

Awesome cover...2020

[@joeallen3600]

I agree with Daryl's comments. Wallflowers made this there own. Bowie is great, and his version of Heroes is great, but I like this one better.

[@MrGiantglory]

Joe Allen check out Motörhead and The Hollywood Vampires versions too..

[@garythompson9811]

In my top 5 songs I just love. no matter how bad the day is going just put this song on.

[@jlauer3747]

[@SenorQuichotte]

[@mikeervin7654]

Excellent

[@azurerainbow4637]

The song Heroes has been heard in the movies Godzilla (1998) and The Replacements (2000),each time performed by different singers.

[@dakotacarvell6151]

Bless you Live, I Am Grateful, I Am Blessed Lightning, I Am Able

[@crisguitar18]

I remember you MTV ... great great channel

[@gav240z]

I believe David Bowie's original version was recorded in a large hall, which is why it had that open echo vacant feel that just took it to another level. This particular cover somehow captures some of the essence of the original. I miss David, it's like I've had a sickness in my stomach ever since I learnt of his death..

[@KAchtchouk6660]

What a great surprise Thank you Jakob ....

[@kathys.durbin5374]

Such great cover love bowie but this is better the wallflowers have covered a lot of different songs but this is the best

[@Grendel53]

[@marceloantonioaraujo3212]

Descanse em paz David!

[@ronaldmurray7746]
