People who are trying to figure out whether this song is about a bar or a literal heaven are both right. Why can't a bar be heaven? Anything can be heaven. If the bar is fun enough, if it's filled with people you like, or even love, what's the difference between it and heaven? In this world of cruel intentions and greed, a place where worries are carried away, where you can have a drink, some snacks, talk to friends, sing kareoke badly, and just forget about everything bad is heaven.
its about club culture and that nothing ever happens everyone leaves at exactly the same time ,everybodies trying to get to the bar,divvy yanks trying to be profound in the meaning
Well folks, my take is that this song is about death and an opinion about what to expect. Everyone goes to this bar, (death) and nothing happens. Everyone leaves at "exactly the same time", (because you did)
At final peace cause "everything stays the same". So, implying nothing to fear....Lyrics describe death as having no afterlife, etc.
Not one person has actually got a clue what this Song is about ?!.... So for the comformins out there, I will end up demeriting myself, So I can only give a little knolage as if I say to much I will end up being DEMERITED so much it will set.me too far back so here goes: It's about a catastrathy . And when the NONCOMFORMINS Are let in for (ONE) drink and find out it's lthere first and last drink. If only they would of listened in the first place..... But then again the new few END.... PS it
I didn't realise what a marvellous guitarist David is... that 'trill'..?? I can hear he does at 0:03, 0:07, 0:17, 0:35, & elsewhere, is beautiful. he's not even looking at his fretboard, just strumming along in "Daveworld".
Watching his fingers on his left hand, it's a nuance of chord work that is very subtle & a delight to listen to.
Imagine writing just one song this good in a lifetime... what a privelige to leave this on the Earth.
@bgolshahi1 agree with you all and the comments above. I was a bit drunk when I posted that and feeling moribund, my comment was way to brief to encapsulate my thoughts. Loss of loved ones is bleak when you accept they have gone forever, framed by the bullshit of religion which allows people to maintain the fantasy that you will see them again. Life is beautiful, but oblivion is bleak no matter what spin you wish to put on it. I am atheist fwiw.
TODAY is MY BIRTHDAY! for my BIRTHDAY I ask that YOU search SNAPSHOT BOYS so we can reach the 3000th mark FOR my birthday PLEASE & THANK YOU !! #PEACE
@drchoc22 Atheism is NOT bleak. It's only bleak to people who haven't understood humanity, compassion and what we're all on this bloody planet for. Telling ourselves stories about how we don't actually *die* and we're not *really* gone when we're DEAD as a doormat is BLEAK. Not atheism...
@benjammin107 That's a beautiful thought man! I went to 'Heaven' nightclub in London ages ago. There were massive painted paper mache fish hanging from the ceiling :D
my local bar is called heaven, i wonder why haha i guess this must be the place, life during wartime is tough but if you take me to the river once in a lifetime i swear ill burn down the house, im no psycho killer
- Just goes to further endorse your ignorance and give us all a vital clue that you were born at the wrong time.... They don't call the 80's the decade of bad taste for nothing you know... so being the best of the worst really says SFA. If having "horrible taste" as you put it is my bag, then I'll hug it for dear life... and leave you to remain in light with the Britney's, Justins and whacko's of this world... good luck! Air can hurt you too! At Least I listen to Music!
77' , More Songs about Buildings & Food, Fear of Music... 3 of the greatest albums on the late 20th Century 1970 - 2000. Anything else they did you can keep.....!!!! Fear of Music.... Brilliant!
This is a sarcastic song about the common idea of Heaven. At what point during eternity would living out your fantasies over and over again get stale? Our finite existence is what makes life worth living. This song pokes fun at the idea of Heaven and it is summed up in this very sarcastic line "It's hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so exciting, could be this much fun." Clearly David doesn't think Heaven would be all it's cracked up to be.
@trdbrglr Well when James Lipton asked David what he would expect at the Pearly Gate's?...David replied that God would be....................? work it out find out! ;-)
@smilemediagroup I couldn't find the quote you mentioned here but I did find more than one quote by David along these lines "I'm of the generation or part of a generation that doesn't feel a connection to any religion or, more precisely, any established religion.". This quote gives me the impression that he might not be an atheist but that he would never be a person to try and establish some sort of idealistic picture of any afterlife and tell other people it might be that way.
I disagree. I don't think this song is simply a sarcastic jab at the idea of heaven. I think its his own interpretation of what his ideal heaven would be, and its much simpler. "Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens..." Then he says, "Its hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so exciting." It goes in correlation with the chorus, heaven is a simple idea, unromanticized. Sounds like he entertains eternal recurrence rather than mocking heaven.
@knichole0412 David Byrne has been noted as being an atheist and anti-religion. What you have to remember about Talking Heads is that they were born of the punk rock scene. They held a lot of the same anti-commercial and anti-establishment ideals that punk rock bands did. The difference was that they were intellectuals and preferred clever and often sarcastic lyrics instead of the straight forward outright statement. This can be seen in a lot of Talking Heads songs just like this one.
Not sure. But the idea of heaven portrayed in this song, is getting drunk everyday waking up without a hangover and being able to do it over and over again. Yes sir, now that's heaven.
@trdbrglr Yes, this is what I have always thought about this song. I think its pretty clear; all the lyrics suggest this. More generally, I wonder if it is about the impossibility of being happy all the time.
To me this song is a commentary on multiple lifetimes or multiple timelines or both. It's kind of like if we keep coming into the forgetfulness and the pain then Heaven must be really boring . Or maybe not boring but just a state of being where there is no doing only being therefore nothing ever happens as you can do nothing and only can be. It is said by man masters that you can experience heaven on earth if you can just be present in the now . Stop thinking and doing and just be.
I really like this song, I feel like he's talking about infinity and meaninglessness, the infinite repetition of party and kiss, written like decrees: "Everyone will leave at EXACTLY the same time". Once I had a fever delusion that the universe had ended and thought my consciousness would exist infinitely without any sensory input. At first I was really scared but for a few moments I just totally accepted my fate and felt really peaceful. I always think of that when I hear this song now.
I love this song so much. If you search for "Heaven" on YouTube, you get a million super religious songs singing about how much they love god, but this song is just like a giant metaphore, which doesn't even mean anything in particular.
Cool man, I out James yukich's work, live after death is amazing! I think what I meant to say was this performance didn't need any props in particular, just something I didn't expect when I watched this. I've been on YouTube for years and I have been getting a few comments back from this video, thanks everyone.
Watching this video...it;s interesting to notice the expressions on Tina Weymouth's face as she glances at the weird and wonderful David Byrne.Rumour has it that the two'' don't get along'' these days...but I've never been into gossip, personally. Thanks for posting this awesome song.
"My name's David Byrne, I'm a musician, and sometimes an artist... and other things" He's so loveably awkward and tentative when he speaks. You just have to love these guys, David Byrne is once in a billion lifetimes! :)
Ah, but, metaphysically speaking, Heaven is outside of time, so that the kiss would be infinite, as would be the song, as would be the joyous moment -- not an endless loop, but a perfect moment that never goes away -- maybe, kinda -- or maybe there will be 80 virgin angels for me to have sex with (at once?) if I blow myself up as God wants me to, to kill other people who believe in Him -- wait, what??! Looks like things stopped making sense a long time ago --
I've once heard that Byrne wrote all the music for Talking Heads: the chords, the bassline, etc. The other band members only played what he wanted them to play, but did not contribute in the writing process. Is that true? Anyone knows?
@kubaszymkowiak nope nope nope. there was actually a huge dispute about songwriting credits on remain in light - you can read abt it on wikipedia. they also used different methods of songwriting, from jamming and sampling that to 'traditional' songwriting. so while i believe byrne was the primary songwriter, they all took part in the writing process.
To know EXACTLY how to go to HEAVEN when you die, please click on my name and view the video "HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN" on the right side. If anyone thinks that you will go to heaven simply based on being a good person, or doing good works, don't be deceived, for no good work will take you to heaven when you die. You can, without a doubt know for certain your eternal destination and God has made it so simple. Please watch to hear the most important information you will ever learn in your life!
NUT of Cefn cribwr was here 22/4/11 Everyone is trying to get to the bar. The name of the bar, the bar is called CEFN The band in CEFN plays my favorite song. They play it once again, they play it all night long. CEFN is a place where nothing ever happens. CEFN is a place where nothing ever happens. There is a party, everyone is there. Everyone will leave at exactly the same time. Its hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so exciting, and so much fun.
i love this song and am learning the bass for it. it looks like she playing open notes but tab i have doesnt show any open notes. Any one know?? also is she playing wiith her thumb on her fret hand or is it just the way tina holds it???
@tuell01 Yes, and I find most of the crowd annoying: Talking during songs, getting plastered, getting high, dancing so you can't see. Yeah, I've been to a live gig, and if it makes me a dickhead to make jokes about a crowd yelling when they see equipment, then you must be a pussy.
This recording sounds like it has been sped up, or played in a higher key than the CD that I have.

I've once heard that Byrne wrote all the music for Talking Heads: the chords, the bassline, etc. The other band members only played what he wanted them to play, but did not contribute in the writing process. Is that true? Anyone knows?

@kubaszymkowiak nope nope nope. there was actually a huge dispute about songwriting credits on remain in light - you can read abt it on wikipedia. they also used different methods of songwriting, from jamming and sampling that to 'traditional' songwriting. so while i believe byrne was the primary songwriter, they all took part in the writing process.

The one band I regret not seeing live, and I've seen hundreds.
Just as well I can watch the greatest live gig film ever.

Great band. Just bought this concert on DVD and it's very hard to get tired of watching it.
Tell you what, though, Tina Weymouth has the most bizarre bass technique I've ever seen. Totally inefficient - I love it!

I think this song is about how perfection doesnt mean anything. I personally would rather be me with all my inconsistancies then some perfect person.

Oh you dickhead. Have you ever been to a live gig Buck?
tuell01 9 months ago
@tuell01 Yes, and I find most of the crowd annoying: Talking during songs, getting plastered, getting high, dancing so you can't see. Yeah, I've been to a live gig, and if it makes me a dickhead to make jokes about a crowd yelling when they see equipment, then you must be a pussy.
