    I played this song for my dad as he died. He always told me that he thought this is what heaven would be like, a place where nothing ever happens. I'm learning to sing and play this on guitar so I can play it at his memorial next month. he's been gone for almost a year. I miss him so much. The Talking Heads were a huge part of our relationship.

      @@haggishead7558 “heaven is a place where nothing ever happens”. a poetic way to say that all happening towards death, is done with. This life is a journey towards death. Inevitably. Space between those advances, room for boredom I suppose- but “when I’m done dieing, I’m gonna bust out of my grave”.

      @@fosmith61 I noticed some of that too, but her voice is also quite prominent and a distinctive counterpoint to Byrne. Neither of them have pure, classical tones, nor does the music itself, which is really a deconstructive form of rock music. Byrne and the band were so original and innovative, evolving increasingly with a theatricality to their shows. Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel also featured interpretive movement, dance, etc. to accent their performances. Here, with McDonald, she performs along that continuum, and is fully on board. In my view, though I don't particularly enjoy her singing individually, I think it works quite effectively with the band. That dystonic sound pairs well with Talking Heads dystopian vision...Belew's cacophony is marvelous...

      She has some of the edgy rocker persona, yet exudes a striking refinement, intelligence/intellectuality (they kind of all do, in this band) and real feminine elegance: pure artist with no affectation or evident ego. Her appearance generally conveys this, but most especially as she moves with the instrument. The effect is *mesmerizing*.

    I saw them during this tour at Radio City Music Hall in November 1980. They had never had an ensemble like this. The acoustics at Radio City are fantastic. It was overwhelming, the best concert I ever went to, and I've gone to many. It was definitely better than a few years later at Forest Hills, which was the tour that they filmed Stop Making Sense, and that was damn good. The next morning I did something I had never done before, or since, I bought tickets for their second show, which was that night. Incredible.
