Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Verse 2]
And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Bridge]
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
[Verse 3]
Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Verse 4]
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God, what have I done?"
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Outro]
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (I couldn't get no rest)
Same as it ever was, hey let's all twist our thumbs
Here comes the twister
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

I'm looking for a specific comment someone left on here saying they tried to do this dance in a nightclub and got kicked out, it makes me laugh every time.
I saw it too
lmao same
:D
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cuz CZcams comment section sorting is shit.
Hearing this play in a supermarket was the most surreal thing I've experienced in a long time.
I kinda wish I would've experienced that.
~~forgot to type "wish" because I'm an idiot~~
Nice pfp
They play it regularly at my store, as well as Queen, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Tears for Fears, ABBA, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and other wildly influential artists for some reason
Update: they also play Blue Monday
@Buick GSX
what kind of grocery store do y'all _HAVE_ 😭😭😭
bruhh all the stores where I live play crap like katy perry or justin bieber 😔
as I get older in life I find myself becoming more and more acquainted with the phrase "My god, what have I done"
Yes! I find myself saying MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE EVERY DAY! lol
I saw a post once that was basically "you can tell how hard someone's going through it by how hard they sing 'i sometimes wish I'd never been born at all' in bohemian rhapsody," and that's the EXACT feeling I experience for "my god, what have I done"
lol it's daily life after 30
They add up, don't they?
I relate to "And you may find yourself."
*"Look, Dad!!. He dances like you. Its like hes getting tazed but refuses to give up."*
- My daughter actually said that me about a Weird Al video, but this one fits too.
Haha 😂 I shall be stealing this saying.

never quit dancing, no matter how bad you are
its better than being a coward
😂 what!?

Wait doesnt that to a bommer sound like saying "wow they made the poggers girl into a anime" cuz i get the same energy from this comment

It’s my mental breakdown *I* get to choose the music
Lmao
This fuels me

Brilliant

I was at a Penny's store shopping for some nice work clothes. I have to go to the big and tall section. My son was with me in his stroller. I stopped by the suit jackets and this song started playing in the store. I put on a large Shaquille O'Neil brand jacket and started dancing like David Byrne. Made my son crack up and my wife embarrassed.
keep doing it, in the car, at home, on your lawn, just don't stop doing it because of what others think. great songs with great dances deserved to be sung and danced to!
Well done.
Luv it!!!!🎶
Perfect!
😂😂
Tina Waymouth is one of the meanest, funkiest and most badass bassist in history. Those baselines are hypnotizing and make you want to move.
Yeah mad how she didn't want to be a bassist at first. She much talented..
Abouslty
In this song, the bassline is quite literally 2 notes played in the same exact phrase, unchanging, for the duration of the entire song. lol.
Funny thing is I think she’s seriously overrated.
@@FloopidyMcDoopidy same as it ever was
I’m pretty sure this is just David showing off how perfectly his glasses fit.

@@Megaalith David Byrne likes the topic of nervousness and angst for songwriting. Cant sleep my beds on fire, don't touch me ...................
fun fact: all of this was choreographed
The guitar riff at the end as Byrne settles down gives me chills.

I'd be honored if some Talking Heads fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal CZcams performance of THIS MUST BE THE PLACE (re-interpreted as a ballad) in tribute to one of the most unique & iconic bands of the late 70s/early 80s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe.
Yeap - Best part of the whole song!
as Byrne settles down [2]
Sure! Where do we listen?
That Egyptian walk he does cracks me up every time I watch it! 😂
Hey you should check out a band called The Doublejumps if you like Talking Heads. It's a different sound but it has a similar outside the box creative thing going on, it's a band from my home country (new zealand)
david byrne has a stroke while teaching you about life
at least he is doing it right.

You can only do this dance to THIS song.....imagine a whole club of ppl on the dance floor doing this?
"Somebody call an exorcist! They are all possessed!"
That's what the dance floor was than in the 80ies. Man, why did I ever go home from there.
Most impressive thing about this video is this man’s glasses never moving from his face
I'm 70% sure they're taped
I've seen this video multiple times the last 3 years and never noticed this until you said it
holy shit
The first use of Gorilla glue.
I head bang for a milmeter and i find my glasses across the room
Those have to be the most well fitting glasses ever. Them shits barely even slipped from their place
Tru
Bruh my glasses fall off my face when I look down
expecially with the 30 pounds of sweat he had on his face
Maybe he's super glue them to his face
@The Stan Man; Dear, you have clearly and absolutely not understood the text. Then it is also better that you absolutely do not respond. Because with the experts you now come across as absolutely enormously stupid. For those who don't know, they are going to agree with you, but don't forget at the IQ test they are all going to end on 75, just like you.
This song brings me more and more comfort the older I get. This is a message we all need to absorb.
"Same as it ever was"

"Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us." time waits for no one, and it's up to you in the end whether you're gonna be left behind
@@strider984why do you choose to act like an uneducated dick?
Great comment right here.
Reminds me of my belated brother Lloyd (Rocky) Woodard. I was just a kid when he joined me, mom, my other brother and step dad on the beach back in the early 80's. He had this small portable radio with a cassette and he played this song over and over. This is an anthem to my brother, Rocky - brings me so much happiness when I hear this song because it reminds me of him. He was part of an African dance troupe and he played all of the percussions and kalimba. I understand his appreciation of this song - it has an African under-beat.
I could never understand why people left the dance floor whenever I got up to dance. After all I learnt everything from David Byrne.
lmao
because they did The Great Curve afterwards and we got fucking crazy for that one
That's fukn brilliant mate,
Legend.
Man I would've joined you
You were granted an audience
David Byrne got that drip, literally. The man is dripping

David Byrne in the "once in a lifetime" music video is my weirdly specific celibrity crush
Mine was Bob Barker while fighting Adam Sandler
Nah. I’m kinda feelin’ it.
This is definitely one of those videos that if you showed it to a poor Victorian era child they would disintegrate on the spot
What did he mean by this?
@@garybusey9941 he meant that this is so wholly separated from anything comprehensible from an 1800s person's perspective, as they couldn't even wrap their head around a single concept in this incredibly wild video
@@toasternuke343
I mean wouldn’t that apply to any video? Could you imagine showing a mukbang video to a child from America during the industrial revolution?
Show this to prince phillip
@@garybusey9941 it would be an effective weapon to kill Victorian era orphans.
That suit is somehow too big and too small for him at the same time
🤣🤣🤣
Rich Hall: "Is this suit too big? Can it be taken in?"
This sums up most of 80's and 90's fashion
So it fits???
😅😂 you win!!
David Bryne is an incredible performer....Weird and amazing....'Stop Making Sense' is an amazing concert....I couldn't stop watching it!
i think this dude was so far ahead of his time, this is like the best song I've ever heard lol
a lot, lot deeper than you'd expect by the lyrics alone, if that makes sense. you really have to be in a special place to appreciate it.
I don't know what emotion is portrayed here but I've definitely felt it before
Some combination of regret, acceptance, and going along with the absurdity of Life.
It’s really complicated but I can feel it. It’s really hard to explain
Lust
@@samsonite7694 no
Sam Venskus yes
Let's say, hypothetically, for the sake of the argument, that this IS my beautiful house, and this IS my beautiful wife.
In that hypothetical, you would have to establish an inner dialogue to determine the events that brought you to that place and time.

Most sane person in San Francisco:
This man is my hero.. or spirit animal... he's my something.
i remember a discussion a long time ago about how David Byrne in the foreground is imperfectly trying to mimic the david byrnes in the background. he is trying to follow along but just doesn't have a hang of the moves. like he's trying to imitate successful businessmen but failing to do so.
i still want to find this background to use in my pc
That actually makes a lot of sense
Huh. But then I went back and realized when he's immitating african muslims and talking about living in a shack, he actually performed those moves pretty well, like they were natural. And in fact defaulted to them in the first 'immitating the men on the background' sequence.
... Is this song actually brilliant?
Hes also really sweaty
I thought he was trying to imitate some kind of church preacher
How to recreate the dance: have a seizure, a stroke and an existential crisis at the same time
Thats just a panic attack
Alternate: Be on every upper known to humankind.
also know every religious "dance" (don't really know any other term to describe it)
hahahaha
For me thats Tuesday
Complete Contemporary Art GENIUS----->DAVID BYRNE was a man way ahead of of his time doing this video. The coregarpahy cannot be compared. I was born in 1984, knowing this came out in 1980, but this damned masterpiece will not get through to the next generation.
The choreographer was Toni Basil, a very talented woman.
Dave Byrne’s antics used to crack me up when I was a teenager.

Talking Heads were way ahead of their time. It's hard to believe that this song was released in 1980. A timeless masterpiece.
And I have loved it ever since. 67 years old. A masterpiece. Starred in a movie with Tom Hanks as the theme song - A Hologram for a King. Highly appropriate and meaningful.

@@oosenagen9055 I'm autistic and can confirm. Sometimes I get hyperfixated on something and absolutely do not put it the flak down until I am done, sometimes I just can't begin something because there's too much and I don't know where to begin. It can be mildly crazy sometimes, but I'm cool with it
@@JetFalcon710 Hey hold on, why are all the autistic people so relatable...
@@geryz7549 No clue. Maybe you're on the spectrum as well and don't know it

When I was overseas in the Marine Corps I used to this dance in bars before the married, kids and divorced days.
I went to a pub on holiday last year. I was not sober AT ALL... and watching someone do this dance was the best laugh I had.
Yeh, this track is seriously funked up.
Then you realized you were looking into a mirror :) .

Maybe it was him… orToni Basil 😂
Most probably the Bouncer pushs you out 😉
That episode of Billy and Mandy when Grim has a nightmare and Billy yells "Same as it ever was! Same as it ever was!"

IIRC, the episode was called 'Duck!'
My brother got loafed in the face in the west of ireland when he was 18 doing this dance (head butted) hes 55 now ! Still has the scar from his broken nose - and still a massive Talking Heads fan 😊

He asks: "where is that large auto mobile" but not "how is that large auto mobile" 😔

*wheeze*
0:55 me when the world is taken over by evil clones of myself and the only way to sneak past them is by doing the same dance as them
1:06 when i'm trying to dig out the brain chip
2:16 me trying to convince the court that I’m sane
3:15 Me when I practice massage methods on my arm in hope they spare me

Don't let the Suit fool you... LOL David Byrne is crazy nuts good... December I think of 83, great concert.
