I needed a lift today. This did the trick. Neil Finn–you know him from Crowded House and Split Enz–plays a beautiful acoustic version of David Bowie’s “Heroes.” Enjoy.

cheers neil that was great
Thank you so much, you really moved me. When I wwas listening to you playing this fantastic song, I thought of all the heroes working day and night taking care of all the corona-virus victims. I and everybody else cannot thank them enough
I was moved to tears what a tribute thank you so much our heroes are heroes everyday
Bravo, maestro! Couldn’t hear Steve Stevens and his one-note lead. A favorite of mine performed incredibly well
Maybe a little up-tempo’d version of “Layla” be “a real cool hand.”
I’m a massive Bowie fan and I thought this was excellent it’s a hard song to sing but I thought his rendition was really good
