Watch Charlie Worsham record a one-man-band version of David Bowie’s “Heroes” as a salute to healthcare workers
’s 1977 song “Heroes” as an homage to the nation’s health care workers fighting COVID-19.
The country singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist filmed a homemade video for the clip that shows him recording the track in the studio and hamming it up in his backyard with a vintage microphone and bongos. It’s musically intricate but visually lighthearted, and acts as a balm for the frazzled nerves of many music fans.
“One thing I think we can all agree on is that this global pandemic highlights the courage and selflessness required of frontline health care workers to do their jobs,” Worsham said in a statement. “We owe them a debt of gratitude always, but especially right now. I’ve always loved the song ‘Heroes’ by David Bowie, and I think it’s the perfect song to thank these people for their incredible sacrifices.
While Worsham is shown working in the studio — programming a beat, playing bass, and laying down an inventive banjo bed — the video also features photos and videos of doctors and nurses at work.
