David Byrne - Nothing But Flowers (Live at Union Chapel)

[Flanker24]

Listen to the words people...



[continuity570]

pay attention kids , this can change your life !!!

[SupernalOne]

what a pleasant fantasy, that human civilization would cease to cover the earth in a layer of toxic technology -

[rgaleny]

The state of nature is sometimes imperfect for it is not made for man alone. sea water is poison to us, fresh water is poison to sea fish. nature has the potential that human technique makes use of. Culture. ZEN.

[stigmaweb]

Does anyone have the song "Road to nowhere" live at Union Chapel??? If so please could you post it?

[Pootsforever]

Is it me but does David look exactly the same as he did when he was younger except for his hair?

[cbarrett34]

don't understand why he's dissing clerks 2 for using it, he is the one who gave the permission to kevin smith to use it and he got paid, what a hyprocrite he is

[scifiaudious2]

i wonder when this was recorded...because kevin smith used this in the beginning of clerks 2- but it fit

[dap106]

I LOVE DVID BYRNE AND HIS WAY!

[idic5]

where is union chapel and when was this recorded?

[verityandstu]

@idic5 - it's in Islington, London. It's a great, great venue.

[DaRandom90]

I wish he stayed with the Talking Heads so bad... I say Reunion.

[ironman2008vichy]

@DaRandom90 i agree this was so shit big time ....

[NorcrossMedia]

lol, this particular song... forget it, we'll just play it...

[negrojveltid]

Dose anybody have videos from the 1992 tour " Between the teeths" ? Lie to me with the solos is my favorit.....

[lyingdead17]

does anyone know where to find the version of this song that was used in clerks 2?

[lesterclaypool1]

That's the original Talking Heads version.

The Fuckers at Time Warner probably own it and keep getting it taken doen.

[Mommy2EP]

That is what I am looking for too!

[lyingdead17]

i found it on limewire

[ligerliker]

hes so weied even in his old age but i love him!!!! and i love weird so it all works out!

[pacotabaco2]

hey c'mon, he is not that old, he's just got grey hair... he must be as old as my dad or something.

[ligerliker]

it's not a bad thing that he's old... and mostly I was just commenting on his weirdness. He's strange and it's cool that he is still strange.

[wildcatter63]

Darn, I WISH he would do a reunion. This backing don't cut it compaired to the real band...

[transonicbuoy1]

I used to have the 10inch record of this!

[thedoors107]

best song by talking head NOW THERES THERE NOTHING BUT FLOWERS amazing song

[Goooooaaal]

that's the real shit, sweet, juicy shit, sweetems, sweetshits!

[gauchatche]

Não sei onde foi parar a criatividade do Byrne para compor músicas como da década de 80!

Essas músicas dele em carreira solo são muito ruins, a única q presta é "Like Humans Do" e nada mais.

Seria melhor o Senhor Byrne emplacar em outra carreira, quem sabe de ator??

[ficus]

I've followed this guys whole career and he's always done somebody I never expected. It wasn't always welcome but I appreciate his surprises. Like covering "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce...I never saw that coming. LOL!

[shemz71]

Did you really mean to say " he's always done SOMEBODY " you never expected?

[willinkeywest]

umh, other way around, dude. Crazy in Love was a Talking Heads tune.

[bojk]

No it wasn't. Errr dude,

[casamesadoof]

This song and "Totally Nude" off the "Naked" album are terrific. Great songs for when you're feeling down.

[das9582]

I totally agree.

[paulbuss]

Check out this painting if you can find from comic artist R.Crumb called 'A Brief History of the World' its subject matter is very similar to the lyrics of this song...PS Johnny Marr played on this track!

[boboreese]

this is a different key than orig- yes?

[trollfinger]

I don't think so, im actually confused if it is or not. its a lot more relaxed then the original.

[caminofeld]

Probably to keep the audience from dancing lol.

[trollfinger]

I dunno, you could still get down to that haha

[rock2208]

amazing..!!

[mrbadx19]

god damned fucking awesome!!!!!thank you for posting!

[twiki2099]

dis song is on clerks II

[Mazlanka24]

Kudos to David and the other talking heads for writing the song, but I think the band Guster sings the song better. If you type in Nothing But Flowers in youtube its like the forth song down.

[Mixmy1200s]

lol Guster < David Byrne

[jawsquid]

LOL

right . . . as if that even needs saying

[bitemyballz]

Awesome! Thanks!

[bonghitt]

this is brilliant,thanks to the uploader.

[Spooksie]

fuck man, byrne did a BBC session too? i loved John cale's. links to where i can see it all?

[MSimp2k6]

You might be interested to know that the BBC sessions were (more or less) released as the DVD "Live at the Union Chapel". I watched the concert live on TV and the DVD is pretty much the same set with some other stuff & interviews etc.

[thesarahkid]

awesome DVD...they are so tight! One of the best live performers ever.

[bdsinferno]

i LOVE this song!!!!!

[favc1974]

[Hutchence88]

If this is paradise i wish i had a lawnmower!!!
