On January 6, 1998, The Wallflowers received three Grammy nominations; “One Headlight” and ” The Difference ” were both nominated for Best Rock Song while “One Headlight” received an additional nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. At the 1998 Grammy Award ceremony on February 25, The Wallflowers received two Grammy Awards; “One Headlight” won for Best Rock Song as well as Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Despite the fact that Bringing Down the Horse was released nearly two years previously, The Wallflowers released an additional single from that album on March 23, ” Three Marlenas “. “Three Marlenas” would be the fourth and final single to be released from Bringing Down the Horse . By 1998, The Wallflowers had begun declining on the Billboard charts and receiving fewer spins on the radio. However, that changed when the soundtrack for the 1998 film Godzilla was released on May 19. The Wallflowers had recorded a version of David Bowie ‘s ” ‘ Heroes ‘ ” which was chosen as the lead single for the soundtrack. The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and The Wallflowers’ version of ” ‘Heroes ‘ ” received heavy radio play. Though The Wallflowers did not tour in 1998 they did play a series of one-off shows including the Tibetan Freedom Concert in June at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. and the Bridge School Benefit in September in Mountain View, California , which was hosted by Neil Young and his wife Pegi .
