The making of "Heroes" (Reprise Version) by Moby

Even after all this time i’m still humbled and amazed that i got to be friends and neighbors with David Bowie, the greatest and most inspiring musician of all time. Here’s a little video about my friendship with David, and how ‘heroes’ came to be on Reprise - moby

We should honestly find away to prolong this man's life indefinitely. Thank you Moby your music is timeless and a blessing🙇🏾‍♂️ R.i.p Bowie a missed legend

[@JGV_IX]

If ever there was a person worthy of covering a song - it’s you Moby!!

[@scottcharman5033]

Reprise is the best album I’ve bought this year, and this version of Heroes reduces me to tears every time I play it. It’s haunting, beautiful, vulnerable, simple, stripped back and I think it will be played, loved and hopefully appreciated by many for years to come. Thank you Moby, peace and love ☮️💜

[@plomosfundidos]

This song and the whole album is incredibly beautiful. Thank you for your music Moby

[@kellybarrett188]

My favourite song in the world by my favourite artist on the planet - Bowie... I'm a tough critic where David is concerned but this version is truly hauntingly beautiful... Well done, Moby! 👏👏👏🎶🖤

[@shortie_2023]

I think you did David Bowie proud by covering this song because it's so incredibly beautiful ❤️❤️

[@faaaduma6876]

I like how he always has interesting story tell, behind the creations of those songs 😌

[@ahcmit]

Thank you Moby. Your music also has a time in our souls so thank you for your contributions. DavidBowie a legend RIP

[@lifemelon]

The world "vulnerable" is just the right one for this cover. Thanks Moby!

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Very emotional. The photos of you two together are beautiful. Thanks for all. ✨💖✨

[@Romalvx]

As I listen to you speaking, dear Moby, I feel like I were on the couch with you two. Thank you, for being so inclusive. Love David forever- and you, too.

[@CosmicSauna]

Thank you, Moby for existing & making music up to this day. I've listened to your art from the days of 1995, when Everything Is Wrong was released. It's booklet was one of the important reasons why I became a vegetarian. Reprise is awesome, I bought the 24-bit/48kHz-version of it & it sounds great. You are such a blessing to this Earth & humankind. Again: thank you!

[@JonseyWales]

Two of my greatest musical 'heroes'!! It makes my heart glad to hear that they got on so well together. The original recording of Heroes will always be a beloved icon, but this version is a lovely homage to it and a joy to listen to. Keep doing what you do Moby!!!!

[@Chris-jb8di]

Very beautiful hommage at David Bowie 👏🏼👏🏼❤️😊🎶a beautiful song thank you Moby ❤️

[@pettisUSA]

Great example of creativity and giving feeling to a cover. I so appreciate this video. There are a lot of learnings in it.

[@tearleyss]

Your cover version of that song sounds really touching and fragile - I think "Heroes" and "Extreme Ways" are my favourites from "Reprise". Thank you, dear sir, for sharing those little stories about your friendship with David. And for all of "The making of" videos... for some reasons watching them just makes me feel better.

[@AndreasWesthues]

Your cover version is a beautiful homage to David Bowie. It’s shows all the beauty that’s in its lines. And Mindy’s courage to show herself so vulnerable makes it something very special. Thank for including this song in your album!

[@alexeychetverikov9852]

Great ! The story about playing "Heroes" on the sofa is really touching!

[@KomigangmedThomas]

im almost addicted to this song. SO beautiful

[@JAMESFERNANDEZ]

All these videos explaining the making of each song of Reprise are just wonderful!! There was a lot of hard work and dedication behind and not just one more album of remakes! Bravo Moby once again! The World needs your Music, Now, more than Ever!

[@germanmartinmerino894]

Thank you for share the history with David Bowie behind your version of "Heroes". It is lovely. I love your music Moby!

[@ileanalartigue7182]

Your version was stunning Moby. It is a hommage to the towering figure that Bowie was. Thank you for your music. It's like an acoustic beacon for many of us.

[@msbadkittie]

‘Heroes’ and ‘Sound + ‘Vision’ are my 2 favorite Bowie songs. Bowie is a God. what an amazing experience for you, Moby. sitting in your apartment with Bowie, collaborating on a song. you have a wonderful way of explaining these special moments in your life. we’re so lucky that you share them with us. i love that you’re exploring working with a live orchestra. seems like a natural progression for someone with your great musical gifts. hope i can experience it live some day.

[@mindaugaskliukas8667]

Thnx yet again, moby, for what you're doing! Very moving tribute and the story behind it!

[@bererive2411]

Amo lo que haces Moby, gracias siempre 💗

[@76jmcc]

Moby do you know you are a legend at the same level David Bowie was ....? And one of the Best things you ever done was create this KZbin channel that open the door not just to listen your music but also to discover you as a person One more time Thank you Moby

[@TheDerider]

“When I can’t hear the song for the singer”: playing/covering a song well breathes life in to it and let’s it resonate as it was intended. Viva la resonance. “This is just a tribute”. Awesome cover version🙏😎

[@nathalieletort2127]

Juste...génial... Que d'émotions, de belles émotions 🥰

[@ggrinfan]

It's 6 o'clock in the morning, already up, I haven't slept much for a while now. Worldly concerns have trapped me, like many others, more now than ever. Among the suggested videos I come across this one, for a little over eight minutes there is nothing else that worries me. This beautiful account of your meeting with David in your apartment, your fantastic version of Heroes, the importance of that song in the lives of so many teenagers yesterday and today. Among them me. Somehow it manages to convey that we are all interconnected in some way, and that music is the most powerful medium so far. Thank you for this quiet reflective moment.

[@SomebodysVincent]

Moby. This was wonderful. I have put together a playlist for when I'm gone that will be played, with songs that hit home. This is one of them.

[@momoore5826]

I was always wondering why you did a cover of Heroes on the album. I love our version/take of the song. But now hearing the story and reason behind, make me love it more and more. As for the album Reprise, I can't stop listening to it. Its my go to album when working from home. When I'm traveling. When I want to play something at the end of the day. Thank you for this song and this album.

[@ghirapi]

It’s beautiful Moby, have no doubts, it’s a remarkable version. David, wherever where he is, would appreciate it.

[@AnthonyNewman-pq3el]

moby you are great in your own right , so lucky to be friends with bowie , my lifelong hero sadly never met him , please never change your humble personality you are so admired and respected , your experiences inspire us mere mortals !!

[@TheMetaluz]

Thank,you mr .Moby.! Beautifull cover!

[@mickhell1]

lovely story about David and why you covered Heroes - Thank you, still feel sadness when listerning to David saw him so many times in concert even missed doing my O levels in 1976 just to see him in London ,he help me thought my early life so many times

[@Michaelfremix99]

Your music has raised generations..so beautiful ️,we thank you.. =) ️

[@tosicz]

Beautiful story.

[@teaser1045]

Exceptional cover of Heroes! Greatest homage ever to David Bowie. I’m sure he would be proud. thank you Monsieur Moby 😊

[@yribiere]

RIP David Bowie, your good friend and my little god. Thank you Moby !

[@LeonWick526]

I like how this cover sounds like an actual love song.

[@christhianalvarez4856]

Genial tema, gracias por hacerlo a su manera. ... David te queremos dónde estés y Moby sigue creando más.

[@150six5]

Moby, Your version of Heroes, takes a piece of music that has always been such a favorite of mine, to a completely different stratospheric plane for me. Gentle, vulnerable, slowly graduating crescendo of deep abiding feeling that brings in for me nothing short of exquisite beauty . Such an experience as this is for me all that life is meant for. You've done this song an infinite degree of justice. Thank you for such a masterwork of artistry!

[@arramia]

Amo la versión de Moby. Me conmovió ❤️

[@truedanbo]

You don't need to write a single note, just sitting there and talk your stories, and the entire image of yours shines.

[@waltergries7869]

Thank you so much for every note you did and this cover version Moby...Best wishes from Vienna, Austria

[@Imforeverenglish]

I absolutely love it when masters of their craft deconstruct such iconic pieces. This is without doubt one of Bowies greatest songs in its original form, but your reimagining of it is exactly what it needed to differentiate it from the epic original. Hauntingly beautiful and atmospheric...pretty much your trademark style. Mindy Jones' vulnerable, gorgeous lyrics do nothing but improve it! ...One of the Greatest covers of all time!! Outstanding and thank you

[@catherinebeduer3838]

I'm sure David would approve, Moby. He missing us so much. 🌹🕊 It's beautiful and the wonderful voice of Mandy Jones makes the result perfect. Congratulations and thank you very much to everyone. 💕💕💕🌹💐🌹💐🌹💐🌹💐🌹💐😊🌹❤🙋‍♀️

I love these. Thank you for sharing kind sir.

[@alishabsteinberger949]

thank you for your amazing music Moby!

[@railgap]

Not everyone feels Heroes is as sacrosanct, and I find it amazing that the power and beauty of it shines through whether it is Motorhead, Moby, Blondie or Peter Gabriel performing the cover. The song works for me no matter who is performing it. To me that demonstrates the power of a truly great song, a truly great musician.

[@maryfiquet8254]

So much pure, honest ❤️. Your heart’s openness and willing authenticity is a profound inspiration for all of us to embrace all of our emotions, our very BE-ingness with spacious Compassion. This age, this time of paradigm shift, we’ll, we’ve never needed you more. Shine ✨ on and on ✨, Wondrous Soul. May LOVE hold you and yours,and all of your fans in Forever Tenderness. 🤗❣️🤗. 🙏🏻😘. ☮️ May ☮️ reign, ever more.

You've done a great job.. I love seeing how music is created..

[@jayros]

This "making of" videos are like listening to an audio version of the books "Porcelain" and "Then It Fell Apart"

[@valeriyk7565]

Thank you!

[@hellvis2025]

David would be very proud and happy with Mobys version of Heroes, I hear that version of Heroes at least one time per day

[@wul01]

Outstanding.

[@mickimarbhmusic]

You did it, Moby 🙌

Beatiful.

[@istvann.huszar420]

I know that Robert Fripp's unique guitar contributions made this song iconic. However, the more I listen to covers, and especially this beautiful orchestrated version, the more I realise that those riffs were never really necessary in the first place.

[@vjones2960]

Forever and ever David Bowie 👨‍🎤👨‍🎤

[@slinseebi6261]

Moby so great

[@randomuser8033]

It’s one of the best🎧😊Thks for doing this Moby!! What are the cords? Blessings 2U!

[@marcg.1871]

It would've been easy to fail with such a classic but that's really a great cover. Well done!

Love his vocabulary! :)

[@elena11293]

thank you 🙏

[@jaramillolugo5921]

Truly love the live cover version of Heroes by Blondie with "special thanks to Mr. Robert Fripp he-hey!" on guitar nonetheless! This Moby cover with Roxy Music's 'My Only Love' and Innocents' Mindy Jones turns out to be my new favorite right now! 👍 Same thing when I actually heard Laura Dawn singing the first lines of Temptation by New Order on Moby's Hotel. And being friend to another friend, here is more than an homage from a 'Low' obsessed kid. From Dead Man Walking and Sunday remixes, to Spiders to Heroes you've come a long way baby!

[@epl803]

You nailed it mate

[@robertodefraia5196]

Thanks!

[@nidiaandradetejeda4646]

I am your fan you know it!!

[@spiesonmars]

Wow, I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to be friends with such an amazing musician. It's a wonderful tribute and I'm sure David would approve!

[@LyoshaLozhkin]

Super album! I thought it wasn't going to be great again (the last few albums haven't really impressed me), but this one is the bomb!!! Listening to the fourth song - the flight is great))

[@DrEricGablehauser]

It was good that you dared to cover Heros. Your version does the song justice and brings its own quality. For me it's better than the original (sorry David). Great work. Thanks, as for everything else.

[@isatisblablah4067]

Ma chanson préférée de David Bowie.

[@TECH-gx9le]

Una versión muy bonita y con mucho sentimiento. Realmente esa canción es memorable.

[@aphilipsen]

Unfortunately on my pressing of Reprise on Clear Vinyl, the sound is totally wrong on my Linn LP12, do other people have this? I tried the normal black Reprise Vinyl and here there is no problem at all.

[@surality]

Wow, awesomeness. Met, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, loverly people. "In answer to your question, young man, the umbrellas were placed by serendipity, I love golf, where I hit the ball, I place an umbrella, does that answer your question." @1998 Southampton art & design Institute.

[@dorota8415]

I love this cover, inspired a little by yet another great artist's cover, Peter Gabriel's (the orchestral part) I think.
