My homegirl showed me this cover when it first came out. She sadly lost her battle with depression last year. This song is so beautiful, even more so now that she's not here. Brings me to tears now ..
+Puddles Pity Party You guys are cut from a similar vocal stylistic cloth. Proud to say I've been a fan of hers since 2007, and a fan of yours ever since I heard your first collab with PMJ!
+SimonOxfPhys Thank you! Nicole did such a great job! We thought donating was a great way to pay tribute to#Davidowie and all the #Heroes out there that have battled and are battling cancer. If you feel like contributing you can download the song right here! smarturl.it/pmjheroes
I was watching the Heineken add in TV & that's how I got here, that song & that voice was something else so I wanted to know who is responsible for this amazing performance, never new Nicole Atkins till now but now I'll never forget that name ever, her voice is pure magic :)
wow. This song gave me Goosebumps. Not only is Nicole Atkins amazing, but the arrangement does Bowie justice. Thank you to your whole team for continuing to share and do such amazing work.
This is absolutely the best tribute to Bowie's memory I've heard so far. Much better than other versions made lately! Nicole Atkins' voice flies over the oceans and touches the deepest parts of one's soul! God bless her!
This is not only a powerful and beautiful tribute, but also a source for a good cause. When Bowie left us for the hereafter, I was devastated and this piece does so much justice. Thank you to every performer in this and every writer and set designer and costumer. By far, one of my favorite PMJB videos, and RUclips videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
+CrunchyCrustacean Yes, Nicole's voice is simply amazing! Imagine what it is like to see a live show with so many fantastic PMJ voices! Stay updated about future tours by subscribing to our website postmodernjukebox.com/
What a total over singer she is just awful 2:21 makes me cringe her movements while performing are an ass whip as well I wish the Heineken ad would stop airing on tv
I had no idea how big this song was until I read about it in Scott's book, "Outside the Jukebox." I've always loved the song, but now I can really appreciate it too! (Page 198)
Why the fuck everyone's hating on who's singing this song? All we should focus on is this wonderful cover of a wonderful song from a wonderful artist who left this world and will never sing again, so these people make him live again through his song, and that friends, that is brillant. Thanks for the cover, was royal.
If you have the chance to see Nicole Atkins live, do yourself a favor and do it. You will not regret it. Having that voice wash over you in person is an experience not to be missed.
Had Bowie Live at Glastonbury 2000 absolutely ripping in the car yesterday, thought that it's version of Heroes was the pinnacle... this version with the sultry voice was magical :)
What can I say about this voice.Really AMAZING.I heard the song on the advertisement of heineken on tv and I was excited with the voice.Lots of kisses from greece.
Has anyone else would like to see something like a behind the scenes ?! I meanI do not say all the songs because it would be more laborious, but some occasionally. I would be happy to see something like that.
After all the videos in this channel that i have watched, this just stands out for me. Her voice is amazing and the Scott's solo was so ❤❤❤ Can't put it into words 😶
I love Nicole Atkins as well. So sad that the best music doesn't always get to the radio; all marketing baloney. I heard Nicole Atkins the first time YEARS ago when I listened to a floppy CD included in CMJ (College Music Journal). A friend of mine had a subscription to CMJ, seems like she had hundreds of CDs from it. I chose to listen to only two of them, and the one with Nicole Atkins performing two songs from "Neptune City," "Party's Over," and "Maybe Tonight." Have been a fan ever since. Saw her on stage in Portland, Oregon. Thank you Scott Bradlee for knowing how outstanding she is, and having Nicole Atkins cover Bowie's vocals on "Heroes." Scott Bradlee has the ear! After all, he had Kate Davis do the first version of PMJ's take on "All About the Bass."
I know this phrase is so often used as to be almost meaningless, but this honestly did give me shivers. what an amazing voice, what an amazing version of this song.
+tragoedia veritas It could of been cool, but puddles range is not as high as hers. Just listen to the notes she hits at around 2:50, puddles voice can not go nearly as high
They say some guy called David Bowie did a cover of his song a long time ago. Jokes aside, what a cover, what a voice. Everything is simply perfect, from piano to drums, from bass to voice. I've been listening to it on repeat for a while now.
+Felipe Yudi Thank you so much! Nicole truly did an amazing job! We thought donating was a great way to pay tribute to#Davidowie and all the #Heroes out there that have battled and are battling cancer. If you feel like contributing you can download the song right here! smarturl.it/pmjheroes
There needs to be more of this wonderful vocalist on PMJ. There is nothing to which would make it better than that. Not slagging off any of the other wonderful singers, but, she sings a niche` not done well before.
+Corler you can't really miss David Bowie. He is so great that he is simply immortal :) Now he's just floating in a most peculiar way staring at our blues.
Finally, the PMJ crew get together with Nic. Always hoped these 2 would cross paths. There must be more. A PMJ & Nicole Atkins complete Bowie tribute album would be fine thanks. So glad this has gone viral, Nic has been knocking out killer albums for years & if anyone deserves the exposure, it's her.
Great cover, her range from quiet and soothing to a stirring crescendo has me in goosebumps. She reads the musical moments perfectly and is supported by competent Muso's. Well done to all involved.
My homegirl showed me this cover when it first came out. She sadly lost her battle with depression last year. This song is so beautiful, even more so now that she's not here. Brings me to tears now ..
The rasp when she belts 'you will be queen' is truly moving
Not only is that one of the most beautifully sung covers I've heard of this song... but that piano... damn! 1:38
Yes - Scott stepped up to the plate and delivered what the song needed.
You are so right.
That piano was even more amazing when they did it live in Nashville
I love Nicole Atkins. There I said it.
I love you all. There I said it.
+Puddles Pity Party I said it. There I said it.
+Puddles Pity Party Yes, Her voice is awesome, She's done this song justice. You are also one of the greats.
+Puddles Pity Party You guys are cut from a similar vocal stylistic cloth. Proud to say I've been a fan of hers since 2007, and a fan of yours ever since I heard your first collab with PMJ!
and I love her as well, please thank your tall friend Mike for introducing me to her.... he's got great taste as well!
1. I love Bowie.
2. I love Postmodern Jukebox.
3. I love Nicole Atkins
So this is perfection for me.
Gi Bar i like heineken
I feel like this needs to be said about too many PMJ tracks: This is criminally under-viewed.
jUST found PMJ, and belive me ,they are now viewed by myself and 30,friends xxxx
Incredible, this gave me goosebumps. R.I.P. to an icon who opened so many eyes, who opened so many doors for other musicians. A beautiful tribute.
Most touching cover ever!!! What a voice!!! Thank you for giving us this chills!!!🙏
Gorgeous tribute - loved the quiet ending with just the bowed bass.
+SimonOxfPhys Thank you!
Nicole did such a great job! We thought donating was a great way to pay tribute to#Davidowie and all the #Heroes out there that have battled and are battling cancer. If you feel like contributing you can download the song right here! smarturl.it/pmjheroes
It's a shame this has only 1.6 million views. It's prohably the best song/performance PMJ ever recorded ...
Agreed. I've been listening to it for years and I keep coming back
I don't think Scott gets enough praise for his amazing piano playing.
I was watching the Heineken add in TV & that's how I got here, that song & that voice was something else so I wanted to know who is responsible for this amazing performance, never new Nicole Atkins till now but now I'll never forget that name ever, her voice is pure magic :)
AnimeManiac4Life exactly the same feeling I got. The piece on the ad was too good to be only there.
Yes, yes, yes!!!
Another legendary performance by Nicole Atkins!
+AJDisME212 She truly is amazing and talented !
+AJDisME212
Her eyes stare straight into your soul.
Aren't they all?
I can't believe David Bowie is gone. Beautiful cover.
He would have been proud of this cover!
Made me cry seriously....RIP Bowie one year later🌹
Love this, a beautiful tribute to Bowie.
+Juan Manuel Calderon +2ndamendmentgirl I think I'm missing something here lol...
You guys get that divorce settlement finalized yet
wow. This song gave me Goosebumps. Not only is Nicole Atkins amazing, but the arrangement does Bowie justice. Thank you to your whole team for continuing to share and do such amazing work.
I just heard the most magical and heavenly cover in my life........................I Love you Nicole....
Sir Jackie Stewart is a legend! Love the Heineken commercial!
This is absolutely the best tribute to Bowie's memory I've heard so far. Much better than other versions made lately!
Nicole Atkins' voice flies over the oceans and touches the deepest parts of one's soul! God bless her!
Scott was killing it on this one. I haven't heard him go at it like that since We Found Love.
Im crying
Oh My God! Please do more with Nicole Atkins!
Beautiful voice and great rendition of this classic Bowie song and I love the note/phrasing around 2:21... great energy and vocal control!
Love the piano in this song. Very dramatic and beautiful.
I am crying.... i love this song so much 😭
She's intense! Like Summer of Love-era Grace Slick. Awesome voice, awesome arrangement!
Somewhere David Robert Jones is smiling and I am in tears.
This might actually be a better arrangement to the song than the original one.
This is not only a powerful and beautiful tribute, but also a source for a good cause. When Bowie left us for the hereafter, I was devastated and this piece does so much justice. Thank you to every performer in this and every writer and set designer and costumer. By far, one of my favorite PMJB videos, and RUclips videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The piano player was killin' it
that's Scott Bradlee, the founder of Postmodern Jukebox...
+Greyson Burroughs I love his style of piano playing. I could only dream to be as good as he is, seriously!
+gooffbball as do we all.
..as do we all
+Andrew Cavett "the piano player" lol. He's the genius behind all this ;)
Scott Bradlee is a freakin genius!
When I heard the snippet in the commercial I *thought* it sounded like PMJ's work! I'm thrilled to have found the full version! Beautiful!
This version hits hard..like bob said one good thing about music when it hits you feel no pain
I can listen to this over and over...............
When was the last time you was someones hero? Even if just for a moment in time.
то что вы делаете ,красиво!!! вот бы услышать эти шедевры в живую!!!! успехов вам всем!!!!
Every time i hear this version I get shivers, so excellent.
What a voice ...
+CrunchyCrustacean Yes, Nicole's voice is simply amazing! Imagine what it is like to see a live show with so many fantastic PMJ voices! Stay updated about future tours by subscribing to our website postmodernjukebox.com/
+PostmodernJukebox nice transition PMJ 😂😂
+PostmodernJukebox +1. I have been following her since Neptune City. I saw her open for Eels a few years ago in NYC. Great voice.
What a total over singer she is just awful 2:21 makes me cringe her movements while performing are an ass whip as well I wish the Heineken ad would stop airing on tv
I can't help but appreciate the artistry of Bowie's lyrics when hearing them fit so well in such a different style. Excellent tribute!
2019 and it keeps givin' me chills just like the first day.
Goose bumps !!
Awesome! Glad PMJ is giving back, and in this musical creative way! God bless! RIP DAVID BOWIE
Scott's flourishes on the piano remind me of his work on Royals. That stuff just tingles my spine.
I had no idea how big this song was until I read about it in Scott's book, "Outside the Jukebox." I've always loved the song, but now I can really appreciate it too! (Page 198)
Got here after hearing this on a Heineken commercial. Love this version. Everything is great: the voice, the piano, the pace. Just fantastic.
Why the fuck everyone's hating on who's singing this song? All we should focus on is this wonderful cover of a wonderful song from a wonderful artist who left this world and will never sing again, so these people make him live again through his song, and that friends, that is brillant.

her voice O.M.G THIS IS AMAZING
I love the simplicity used here. Only 4 members of this piece, yet it turned out absolutely beautiful!
+hitsuguyathe1 Thank you, we usually compose our music with a small amount of musicians, but a great amount of talent!
This was simply wonderful. I was watching a Heineken commercial, and I was like who is singing that song. Thank God for Google!
Had Bowie Live at Glastonbury 2000 absolutely ripping in the car yesterday, thought that it's version of Heroes was the pinnacle... this version with the sultry voice was magical :)
touching and beautiful tribute. Thank you.
+Brad Garner (XericRonin) Thank you Brad!
This performance soothes me every time I need it. Always my go to
What can I say about this voice.Really AMAZING.I heard the song on the advertisement of heineken on tv and I was excited with the voice.Lots of kisses from greece.

This is one of my favorite songs. Totally crying. Thank you guys. Bowie forever.
Has anyone else would like to see something like a behind the scenes ?! I meanI do not say all the songs because it would be more laborious, but some occasionally. I would be happy to see something like that.
I am amazed that Nicole is not far more known. Her voice is so powerful, unique and soulful.
Miss him '--'
I cant trust he's actually dead... always in my head/heart/ears :[
After all the videos in this channel that i have watched, this just stands out for me. Her voice is amazing and the Scott's solo was so ❤❤❤ Can't put it into words 😶
I LOVE the simplicity of this version! Amazing:)
Nicole is really amazing, for me is now the best singer of PMJ! Great tribute to Bowie.
I've been staring at this comment box for 5 minutes trying to find some way to put it into words. Thank you for this.
wow. Bowie would be so proud. vocals and piano are killing it
woooooooooooooowww I was one of that asked for a David Bowie cover!! Thank you... AMAZING!! Wonderful, thanks , great!!!
+GreenTheater We're glad you liked it! Thank you!
PostmodernJukebox Can you do an instrumental version of this... and all of your songs. like what if we want to do a cover in your style
I love Nicole Atkins as well. So sad that the best music doesn't always get to the radio; all marketing baloney. I heard Nicole Atkins the first time YEARS ago when I listened to a floppy CD included in CMJ (College Music Journal). A friend of mine had a subscription to CMJ, seems like she had hundreds of CDs from it.

I really want to hear you guys do a 1950s Doo-Wop cover of Queen's We Are The Champions.
The crescendo to end all crescendos, goose bumps.
Beautiful tribute to a beautiful man.
I know this phrase is so often used as to be almost meaningless, but this honestly did give me shivers.
what an amazing voice, what an amazing version of this song.
beautiful cover, excellent job. what a great way to pay respects to a legend. good job.
Wonderful piano arrangement...and Nicole's voice is amazing!
I honestly wish Puddles would've sang this one, not saying that this rendition was bad but Puddles has the perfect voice for this specific song imo
+tragoedia veritas Nothing against this version either, but we do need MORE PUDDLES. MOOOOAAAR PUDDLES!
Good job, Nicole. :)
Wtf is the point of a cover if it's exactly the same as the original?
Puddles make everything better. Puddles is GOAT
+M. B. The big sad clown is a bit busy at the moment. He will be back soon i am sure.
+tragoedia veritas It could of been cool, but puddles range is not as high as hers. Just listen to the notes she hits at around 2:50, puddles voice can not go nearly as high
They say some guy called David Bowie did a cover of his song a long time ago.
Jokes aside, what a cover, what a voice. Everything is simply perfect, from piano to drums, from bass to voice. I've been listening to it on repeat for a while now.
This is so perfect.
I enjoy new takes on old songs and this was flawless.
"come on Eileen" in big-band style
+Jennifer Kaal living room routine?
with Morgan James possibly. I can imagine her doing that one
Still waiting for that to happen.
Oh my God that would be Fantastic :D
Jennifer Kaal
aw hell yeah
Thank you it affected me deeply to loose this man you've done him justice thank you
The best thing that I heard this year
+Felipe Yudi Thank you so much! Nicole truly did an amazing job! We thought donating was a great way to pay tribute to#Davidowie and all the #Heroes out there that have battled and are battling cancer. If you feel like contributing you can download the song right here! smarturl.it/pmjheroes
+Felipe Yudi Try Blackstar...
I'm glad you enjoy this, as do I!
+mrtactic x see my comment above, just saw yours :)
Every now and then the PMJ team absolutely nails it. This is one of those. Congratulations to all involved.
2:11 gets me every time
and 2:20
when she hits the high note for some reason you feel like crying of joy
love this song
I love Bowie, but this rendition has an epic feel.
Goosebumps everywhere... unbelievable, she got some proper sound.
Σ'αγαπώ ❤
There needs to be more of this wonderful vocalist on PMJ. There is nothing to which would make it better than that. Not slagging off any of the other wonderful singers, but, she sings a niche` not done well before.
Amazing.
Took my breath away! Just gorgeous. Bowie is smiling!
+Richard McWolff (Wolffie) Aww, thanks so much Richard!
The piano makes it compleed....:)
The best part: 2:07-2:47!!! They are just killing it!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🤜🤛👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This my favorite YT Channel, for great music performance. Always excellent tunes.

Absolutely immaculate. Heavenly, wondrous, and beautiful. God Bless David and thank you, Postmodern Jukebox.
Not afraid to say I cried.
Brought tears to my eyes.
She's a Slayer.
I miss David Bowie so much. :(
Same..
+Corler you can't really miss David Bowie. He is so great that he is simply immortal :)
Now he's just floating in a most peculiar way staring at our blues.
+Corler - True! He simply is immortal and simply keep going on forever!
Wow. Just, f@#$%ing wow. How have I never seen this? This really got me in the feels. And the piano solo is sublime too.
can you guys make a cover of Mr Sandman and Holding out for a hero?
how about enter sandman?
I LOVE that this is on my RUclips playlist...
Holy shit.
Exactly
Finally, the PMJ crew get together with Nic. Always hoped these 2 would cross paths. There must be more. A PMJ & Nicole Atkins complete Bowie tribute album would be fine thanks. So glad this has gone viral, Nic has been knocking out killer albums for years & if anyone deserves the exposure, it's her.
I wish this was the David Bowie tribute they played at the Grammys...
Great cover, her range from quiet and soothing to a stirring crescendo has me in goosebumps. She reads the musical moments perfectly and is supported by competent Muso's. Well done to all involved.
