David Byrne leads a flash choir in an amazing rendition of Bowie's "Heroes"

Simply transcendent.

Everything about this is wonderful. The group singing event called Choir!Choir!Choir! had a very special guest artist in the incredible David Byrne (an amazing performance artist, poet and best known from his Talking Heads era) at an event back in January, as part of the Under the Radar Festival at New York City's Public Theater.

The audience is taught parts and harmonies a little earlier and then it all comes together in the moment. An epic public singalong that becomes something that makes me yearn to just sing in the streets with strangers.

Just watch and enjoy this incredible performance.
