Talking Heads Seen and Not Seen (HQ)

[zregime]

"...this is why first impressions are often correct."

Byrne at his observant best.

[TheBrendanio001]

Heard and Not Heard ;) I love this stuff so much, fucking ART.

That was great

[ghaladgwaith]

Awesome track, awesome album, awesome band.

[MrSKINFLICK]

Pure genius !

[erreur]

best Talking heads tune from their best album

[phlypped]

0:16 - 0:20 in the beat slows down ever so slightly, and i love that.

[kapry67]

Le titre phare ...hormis le single...

[PartyBoy64]

the lyrics are the best fucking thing ever.

[boibad12]

This album is a masterpeice.

[newfuckingwave]

definitely inspiration from 'the gift' by the velvet underground

[diskochimp]

@newfuckingwave Never noticed that before but, yeah, you might have a point there...

[newfuckingwave]

@diskochimp and i'm not even saying it's intentional, but who WASN'T inspired by VU

[dropzBiG]

@newfuckingwave absolutely! VU is prolly one of the most influential bands in modern muiic. they were scary influential, so primitive, and so fucking underrated, its a shame.

[newfuckingwave]

@dropzBiG maybe THEE most influential . . .

[imitione]

Eno Fans; should read his book, diary " A Year With Swollen Appendices: "

[royalnaz1]

lady gaga is missing a few light bulbs up there

[bensterism]

played on repeat, synchs perfectly with The Fly (jeff goldbloom)

[zoooooopopo]

@bensterism lol smoking alot of grass recently?

[bensterism]

I listen to this song everytime before i get my haircut.

[jovanna242]

my parents had this album when it came out in 1980? and i was only 2 years old and

this song has always stuck out to me and even now at 32 this song still has got me

[Contextcatcher]

Pokerface? 2:10: "They may have arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them". The face becomes a mask. For me it's about self-fulfilling ideal of longing for a kind of look or identity. Popmusic and image building:....like smart Lady GaGa.

[dubhippy]

@Contextcatcher

lady gaga wears meat. she ain't quite right

[Contextcatcher]

@dubhippy Wearing meat looks strange but for image building a smart move: they will talk about it and Lady GaGa is in the picture again. Music business is all about "Seen and not seen"...

[youtubbs67]

This is the strangest concept for a song I've ever heard.

[dubhippy]

@youtubbs67

try the laughing song - the residents, pursuasion - throbbing gristle, le bal - hans reichel, vivianna doganna - v-human, who's afraid (of the art of noise), or just listen to byrne & eno's my life in the bush of ghosts & catherine wheel albums

[Contextcatcher]

This is maybe the first philosophical essay on music in pop. And popmusic is all about identity...how do I look?

[Darkiver]

This is pretty much hip-hop! Counting also Tom Tom Club, the Talking Heads were an unlikely group to influence rap music so much but much due respect. Great band.

[SclafaniBagni]

@Darkiver Blondie, as well.

[pcostel1]

@Darkiver Yeah I totally agree! I think that's why I loved this song so much when I was younger even though it is so outlandish. I'm a hip-hop fiend nowadays.

[ddellanneyy]

afrofunk!

[111redthread]

so strange and awesome

[koolfraser]

brian eno magic touch

[Mr4scoreand20]

@koolfraser it suprises me how few people are familiar with Mr Eno, even those who know about music

[minxlabrada]

@koolfraser No wonder this is my favorite Heads album.
