"'Heroes'" is a song by David Bowie from his 12th studio album of the same name. Co-written by Bowie and Brian Eno and co-produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti, the song was recorded in mid-1977 at Hansa Studio 2 in West Berlin.
It was Released in edited form by RCA Records on 23 September 1977.
In the fifth and final verse, the narrator recalls standing and kissing by the Wall while guards fired bullets above their heads. Perone states that this moment captures the sense the narrator's love can "overcome anything" and, as dolphins can freely swim as they wish, the proclamation that "we can be heroes" "gets well beyond anything the listener might have anticipated at the start of the piece"
According to Bowie, the quotation marks in the title were intended to express "a dimension of irony" on the otherwise romantic or triumphant words and music. Describing the song, he stated it is about "facing reality and standing up to it", about achieving "a sense of compassion" and "deriving some joy from the very simple pleasure of being alive". Likewise, Pegg contests the song contains underlying dark themes that juxtapose its uplifting chord sequence and delirious vocal, such as "you can be mean, and I'll drink all the time", which is "hardly the most promisingly heroic statement", while the repeated announcement of "nothing will keep us together" asserts that time is short.
(from Wikipedia)
Humanity is facing dark times. Now more than ever, we need to stay together, and bring sense and reason, stand against totalitarism and populism. We don't need to be heroes in the field of war, we need to be heroes in the streets, in the election days.
"I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day"

New Mini Challenge # 213 ~ Juxtaposed Diptychs ~ The Award Tree ~
The snowdrops I had cut yesterday juxtaposed with the plaster cast head of a Diadoumenos, a winner in the Olympic Games of antiquity. Let the young man dream, perhaps of snow - outside, there is in fact a snow storm going on. Contre-jour (open window) with a reflector to illuminate the face.
No editing except cropping and then a thin scarlet border. The title is referring to the spring like subject of the garden flag (hummingbirds on flowers) vs. the surrounding snow.
I purposefully juxtaposed this landscape against yesterday's to exemplify how we change our social landscape to be more in tune with nature by introducing what had been there in the first place - TREES !!!
In yesterday's image humanity has created a horse path through an old growth forest to intermingle with nature, thus allowing for a robust natural experience. While in this image humanity ravaged the entire landscape and compensated it's intrusion by planting trees between large swaths of asphalt and cement.
The question hangs; Is one truly 'better' than the other?
Go ask the man walking alone through the Yukon. His would be the only righteous response.

Juxtapose low-tide north of Scripps Pier, in between cold cloud and rain sets and pelicans flying in ahead of the next rain. They veered off from the coast cruise and headed to the pier behind me. Others peeled off and headed to La Jolla cliffs to ride out the rain.

At the southern end of the photo-walk path I generally follow with the dogs along the Mojave riverbed stands a great scattered grove of Joshua trees spread beneath a string of electrical transmission towers running east and west across the riverbed. The juxtaposition of the ancient trees and the modern towers is a bit uncanny—the Joshuas, denizens of the desert for 25,000 years, their irregular branches reaching eternally skyward, contrasted with the unwavering lines of the towers and wires, carrying the electricity upon which so much of our 21st-century life depends.
