Choir! Choir! Choir! teamed up with David Byrne and a TON of singers in the Ford Foundation lobby of the Public Theater during the Under the Radar Festival to sing 'Heroes' written by David Bowie and Brian Eno
It was magical + powerful.
If we ever needed a message to be our own heroes, right now is the time.
Throw on some headphones + sing along.

@David Byrne Who are you, really? What possesses a person to start a fake channel and pretend to be someone else? Are you just empty and sad - a talentless shell - or is your intention to mislead for some nonsense and/ or general animus?

Don't get me wrong, I am both a David Bowie and a Talking Heads fan, putting those two together is a recipe for success. However, the CHOIR easily makes this a powerful performance....they compliment Byrne's exceptional rendition of this song to a T.....easily my most favorite Choir Choir Choir song....easily! I'm sure those that were there on the day felt the emotion involved....I can listen to this anytime!

I love how nervous and awkward Byrne seems at first, eyes darting looking to the choir then the choirmaster, hands in pockets. But then the choir fills the room with love for him/the song/the experience and he’s won over and at 3:15 or so he opens his throat and howls with conviction and strength. Very moving to see how each lifts the other, lovely.

Shame you had to wait over 30 years. In an amazing series of coincidences, I happened to be visiting NYC the freezing February it was released. It was probably the most moving, soulful and amazing cinematic musical event I've seen, especially being a Talking Heads and Eno fan. This heroes performance channels the original Bowie performance I love and is better than many of Bowie's live versions.

I lost my voice for a long 3 months this year (late February through late May) - bad cold late February followed by probably exacerbation of GERD - & it was hard for me to listen to choral music. But my voice is back now. What a phenomenal experience to sing that song with David Byrne! I don't know when we will be able to gather & sing that way again - if ever - but I long for that kind of unique togetherness. Well done!!
