Dream Operator - TRUE STORIES - TALKING HEADS

[mlawren7]

I bought this movie on DVD at K-Mart for $7.99. In K-Mart you can find all sorts of things!

[dmatej79]

It's just like a real dream, perfect! She is not a good singer, but I love how she sings. Great!

[SidneyTucker1313]

This is such a good movie.

[betterinformed]

"dream operator" as in quantum physics (the observer effect) dream operater?

[TheSimplyDaft]

Ionic order (ιωνικός ρυθμός) @ 03:20. When fashion and architecture devolves into fascism, style lapses and people tend to look too much alike. Note the Astroturf Family @ 02:40. Just a casual observation & another day at the mall ...

[transonicbuoy1]

Life=odd. When I heard this, it was UK north folk. Special heads, damn special music and too many memories. Industrial city. England. The shop vilnyl,　had the inches, big display on the wall. Next to George H and The Fall. And The Smtihs. Greek version was James Dean, in pink. And my dream was buying these sounds. And DB made it all true. If my grand-father suffered on European battlefields, then thank-you for the sound.

[Willium95]

sometimes i cry when listning to this. :) it diggs strait into your own memories, thats why this song is so powerfull. long may heads be remembered!

[sxpression]

saw it at the castro this weekend :)

this song made me cry happy dreamelancholic tears

david byrne is a legend of all time

this movie!!!good man, real good.

who is the woman singing here, i LOVE HER!!!!

[vigo894]

@sxpression= Her name is Annie McEnroe. Wikipedia has no information about her. She was in Beetlejuice as the lady who gives Lydia the skeleton key. And she was seen last year in Wall Street: Money never sleeps.

[DrewDabble]

This movie is a feeling.

[daniellefarrar]

I love this movie!! I'm seeing it in The Castro this weekend!

[marginallymental]

My husband didn't like Byrne's attitude in this film, thought poked fun at small towns. But I thought it was a loving look at all of America---strip-malls and developments, families and love. I thought it was gentle and even admiring: "Look at this...who's to say it isn't beautiful? Hope...love.....satisfaction..­." The book contains deleted scenes, and one is a poem: "We are not afraid / We are wathing it and doing it at the same time / And the family really IS the center of the world".

[marginallymental]

"Part Two / This is Part Two / I am singing in my sleep / Is everybody ready? / Ok? / Let's go." Luis Fine thinks this poem as he finally marries. It's the most wonderful thing Byrne ever wrote--powerful, elegiac, courageous and optimistic. It's also the thing I thought of when I heard how the Shanksville plane went down on 9/11.

[Lived2112]

i have something to say about this video...but ive forgotten what it is. i have it written down at home somewhere.

[monkynmee57]

"I wrote it all down...but I think I mis-spelled it" (Mary Woronov "Night Of The Comet")

[mrebelo71]

This move is awesome! The voice of this woman is adorable!!!!!

[iHeartFerenc]

Oh my god David Byrne is a sexy thing

[slut4berniesanders]

I love this scene so much. One of my favorites in the whole movie... I also love the part where they play with food at the dinner table, and the big show at the end, and of course "Wild Wild Life"... but this is soooooooo beautiful. And also hilarious. All at once. David Byrne's "Mm!" at 3:25 makes me crack up.

[transonicbuoy1]

Went to Universal Studios Japan this week. Totally surreal. Just like this.

[333Hille]

Does anybody know if there is a soundtrack with her singing? I,d love to have this version without the "aroundsound".

[crlclgrv]

I love this movie. Need to watch it again!

[PaulCastle001]

Gentle, weird & funny. A great scene from a wonderful film.

[robwheelut]

David Byrne is a genius. True Stories was one of the best indie movies ever made.

This song is so touching, and soft. Her voice is a beautiful whisper she sings so haunting and lovely.

It reminds me of a mom singing it to her child, you dreamed me a heart, brings a tear every time. Simply Exquisite..

[SheWhoPlays]

I wrote this somewhere tonight somewhere on these postings. I got blessed when I found a DVD of True Stories. It was on clearance for about $3.00 uSA. And the last one or I would have bought them both. A great favorite in this movie is when Mr. Spalding Gray tells of the people God created that loved the rocky left over creation named Texas. She who plays from Texas.

[SheWhoPlays]

Dream it forward

[ActionFigureWorld]

timeless movie

[governorgilf]

I wore out my cassette of True Stories I listened to it so many times. Finally saw the movie last night and liked it a lot!

[timbenton72]

Shopping is a feeling, brilliant!

[igloocookie]

I love this movie...David Byrne might be an alien though.

[transonicbuoy1]

I only recently understood how to buy this from ITunes. I bought True Stories on vinyl in 1988. At that time, my dad used to beat the shit out of me. This music was everything to me. Of course, I always wished I was bigger. And they opened a huge shopping centre, like this, not far away. I could never buy David B`s vinyl there.

I`m not a big guy, physically, even now. But I`m a decent fella. Thank God for the memories and the music. Even now, I am a dream op.

[garbo215]

it's all you

there ought to be

a law

[thosetigers]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE

[RunAMuckGirl2]

LMAO!!

[RunAMuckGirl2]

"If everybody knew, it might be too much"

[ncbloom]

i think true stories is just a commentary on the 80's. it makes more sense now than when it was made.

[mwells219]

i think david probaly wears a cowboy hat and western shirt most of the time.

[jburrelli]

God I hope so

[xtallyx1]

Those outfits are HIDIOUS ! And shopping is feeling.

[imthepb]

gather round the tree and sing this with your family! families love shopping & feelings!

[w0mblemania]

I adore the album version of this song. It's just amazing.

(It's a pity though, that the rest of the album isn't of the same quality. But, still, a gem is a gem.)

[animal90sFreak5]

cool this movie has john goodman and david byrne,2 cool stars.

[BlakeVII]

Here in the UK you can't find this film on sale for love or money.

[BaseDeltaZero1972]

Yeah, had to get my copy from ebay.

As for this version of Dream Operator, it's absolutely beautiful...worth the price alone.

[BlakeVII]

I envy you.

You're right. It would be worth the price.

[dudlecat]

got in on ebay after waiting for years after i saw it.

[BlakeVII]

I guess you were lucky.

Maybe I'll get lucky one day.

I just get this feeling...

[liquidmonkey2000]

Brilliant!

I have been looking for this for a long time. Thanks for posting.

[paddyoshea55]

beautifull song

[paddyoshea55]

shopping is a feeling

[BlakeVII]

It is a feeling.

[juanmanuelvarela]

do you know who you are?

you are the dream operator

[tgodridge]

I got the re-recorded True Stories album just lastnight (The one where all the tracks are done by Talking Heads). It's really good, but I ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY need to get the film version (If it's still possible to buy it). Dream Operator and City Of Dreams are the definition of what music should be.

[thrash5409]

The idea for this scene came from "Fellini's ROMA" (1972). To see it on YouTube, search "fellini roma fashion show". The complete one is 9:51 minutes. DON'T MISS IT!

[gefan3]

One ors of my favorite movies of the eighties. The actors seem to be uniformly having a great time.

[peetellu]

this is my fav song from the true storys album by talking heads which i cant find but hey

[joelkazoo]

She sings it so pretty. This song works really well with a female vocalist.

[gawagirl]

oh yes yes, I would so dress like that, this movie has caused many tears of anguish, but they sustain me...........

[drdracula]

my favorite movie, this is my favorite track from the movie too.

[kult1975]

u have to watch this movie all coked up & go shopping after!!!

[turnoutjim]

Ok all of you John Goodman fans - Name three movies the he and Holly Hunter have starred in?

Answer: Raising Arizona, O, Brother Where Art Thou?, and Always

[doodahbagel]

This movie has and always will represent the 1980's to me.

[mano8er]

two version of this and the other songs exist-the talking head record of these songs and the cast recording of the songs in the movie. very rare to get either one now a days on cassette or CD.

[Lancealot24]

I've never seen the movie but I'm going to see it now!! Love the heads

[jokerkiwi]

"Shopping is a feeling..."

[Marmaduke78]

A very good song, a very good movie.

A cool multi-purpose movie.

If you can think of it, it exists somewhere.- David Byrne

[amaxamon]

Agreed - brilliant film, amazing songs, unique performances. No one is making films this interesting or original anymore.

[Attocboy776]

its cool

its a multi-purpose shape. A box.

[mfromthetrain]

My favorite movie. well, my favorite scene from my favorite movie perhaps. making this lady sing this song was genious!

[chrisgreen67]

This scene was filmed at NorthPark Center in Dallas, Texas, which is a beautiful 1960s shopping mall (that may seem like an oxymoron, but it's true...) Much of the movie was shot on location in Texas.

[transonicbuoy1]

Thanks for those comments. It makes - the music, the whole thing, worthwhile x x

[satyr72]

Ever notice almost all the extras in this movie are twins.

[transonicbuoy1]

In my teens, in northern England - there were The Smiths, and there was Byrne, Frantz, Weymouth (nice coastal town) and Harrison. They made me very happy. Now, it's so good, I could shed a tear. Actually, I will do, in private. Top quality material, everything about it.

[quadeadzone]

favorite movie evar.

[cxseven]

I'd love to own a copy of this exact version of the song.

This song's surreality is magic and natural, sort of like a song before you completely understand its lyrics. This one will remain elusive for a while.

[ipyramus]

This clip is too profound for words. Beauty, genius and wisdom in an American setting. Magic.

[dtoeppen]

Priceless!

[beatityatube]

I love this movie. Too funny and no amount of watching it is never enough. Be sexy in business... ;-)

[midwestmacrame]

So beautiful it makes you wanna cry!

[turksfruit]

If the room is pink, then you're in the pink! Yeah!!!!!!!!!

[wearetired]

I want a brick coat. and I think this movie really highlights how much david byrne was inspired by dada. but what do i know?

[jtj909]

the HEADS most beautiful song

[gilgameshrex]

this movie changed my life. thank you for posting up so many clips.

[bitemyballz]

I like the Grass Clothing best.

[paulflah]

i think david lynch took inspiration from this video for his t.v. series "twin peaks",the red curtain and the breathy vocals,and the dreamlike quality to it.anyone else agree/

[bitemyballz]

Hey! I think you're on to something there.

[Taranau]

It looks like Bjork has watched this movie a few times,for fashion advice.And yes,so much for David Lynch being an original.

[Shamborn]

>i think david lynch took inspiration from this video

both are off-beat directors named David whose last names describe violent acts.

Hm! Puzzling Evidence!

[midwestmacrame]

Hmmmmmmm. Yep. Good call!

[moogytee]

One of my favorite things ever. Thanks for posting!

[bitemyballz]

I love that lurid red curtain. Kay's hair is perfect. Such a great scene.

[mbp284]

Such a great movie, such a great song, such a great scene

[bookr98]

From the movie, TRUE STORIES with David Byrne of Talking heads.
