In this talk I will summarize the new insights into the chemistry of the dense interstellar medium offered by the Herschel Space Telescope. Herschel offers unprecedented sensitivity as well as continuous spectral coverage across the gaps imposed by the atmosphere, opening up a largely unexplored wavelength regime to high resolution spectroscopy. The opening of this spectral range provides a unique glimpse at numerous transitions of water vapor, a plethora of transitions of complex organics, along with numerous other previously undetected light hydrides. It is also an opportunity to detect the bending transitions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. As far as possible, I will use this talk to define the far-infrared spectrum seen towards low and high mass star-forming cores showing spectra taken primarily using the HIFI instrument, but also include data from PACS. I will then synthesize first results into a new look at chemical complexity in gas that lies in close proximity towards the young stars and also discuss a search for cold water in proto-planetary disks. Herschel observations are grouped into a number of different open time and guaranteed time key programs. This talk will encompass results from a number of these programs.
