David Bowie - Heroes

This song written by Bowie, one thinks there are many reasons behind it.  Maybe he was a hopeless romantic like me.
His song's setting takes place in Berlin Germany.  How do we know this??  Well he refers to the wall.
During the war
I don't know about you but we assume it's during the war where West and East Germany was still around.
Communism vs capitalism.

According to research David Bowie's song was written because of the following events during his stay in Berlin.

David Bowie was Inspired by the sight of Bowie's manager Tony Visconti embracing his girlfriend by the Berlin Wall, the song tells the story of two lovers, one from East and one from West Berlin

This is seen as a hopeful romantic,  
But did you know that this song played a role in the tearing down of the Berlin Wall.  

The title itself was inspired by many other German bands who were aiming at freedom from the Berlin Wall.

But listening to the song Bowie sounds like his is yelling,  this is to emphasise doomed love as his manager was married yet seeing this lady?  

How can a beautiful image be so harsh. 
I believe the song is a sign of hope and as a firm Bowie fan.  
This song gives me hope for the future. 

No matter the chaos love conquers all. 
This is my infinite song,  My everything song 
Always will have a special meaning to my life
