Highly recommend the entire "Stop Making Sense" film. IMO the best concert film ever made.

Glad you reviewd that song. Check out the whole concert. Stop Making Sense!

Hmm, what else?? ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING from Stop Making Sense. This is WIDELY, and I mean that sincerely, one of the absolute BEST concert movies of all time. Bar none. Generally considered to be right up there with The Band’s Last Waltz. Phenomenal!!

David had complete control over the entire performance from the lighting, costumes color scheme and choreography. Talking Heads were former Art College students and it shows, unique 😎

You're right about him being an artist. David Byrne has openly discussed the possibility that he is on the autism spectrum, though he has never received a formal diagnosis. He describes himself as neurodivergent, with traits that align with very mild autism, and has said that music has been a crucial tool in helping him navigate social situations

I'm so glad you reacted to this one Steven, the entire Stop Making Sense concert movie is one of the best ever made! These lyrics really are about 'life during wartime' and how unpleasant that is, yet it's delivered as a killer party song! I think the part where he's lying down and the drums hit and he jerks, is supposed to simulate being awakened by bombs when you're sleeping. There's probably lots of running for your life as well, and the keyboard at times sounds like alarm sirens. The guitar player mimes shooting a machine gun, great choreography.

Take me to the river is my favorite from them

Live burning down the house is a must watch

Tina Weymouth tearing up that bass. Check out "Road To Nowhere".

The great Tina Weymouth on bass. Can you imagine maintaining that groove while running in place? Such a great performance by the whole band.

The bass player. In 2020 was ranked as the 29th bass player by Rolling Stone

They added a lot of musicians for this tour. The band is actually a four piece. David Byrne on vocals and guitar, Jerry Harrison on keys, and the rhythm section is the married couple of Tina Weymouth on bass and Chris Franz on drums.

Happy dance song about the saddest, most horrific time.

David Byrne is always more than a great musician. Like you called out, he is very intentional and precise: He curates the entire experience of a song with motion, lighting/color, location, the political and social influence, etc. He is Performance Art.

Such a massively great performance. Talking Heads is the best! That’s what you get from David Byrne. He’s a certified genius. A member of MENSA. And as far as being on the Autism Spectrum, so better for him!!! 👏🏼🙌🏼

This was a great concert movie *Stop Making Sense*, David Byrne is a unique artist creator. and don't forget Tina Weymouth the Bassist (Also from Tom Tom Club) she's married to the drummer Chris Frantz

He has great solo work too. I like his album "Uh oh". A definate Latin flavour to it, showing his creative deversity.🤘😯
