I first heard this on NPR in the early eighties; if memory serves me right,the first few bars was used as an interlude between segments on "All Things Considered",and it was vaguely reminiscent for the theme music for ATC's Ian Sholaes segments w/Duck's Breath alum Merle Kessler.
This was the song my friend had at her wedding. If you listen to the lyrics, it is the most beautiful love song of all time. I literally can't help but tear up when I hear it.
"And of all those those kinds of people, you've got a face with a view.
I'm just an animal looking for a home and share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me til my heart stops, love me til I'm dead..."
Those "5 dislikes" must have come from deaf people and they really meant they dislike the fact they cant hear the song... that must be the reason... WHO the hell wouldn't like this song?!
This song saved my life in 1983. I heard it on the radio when I was 15, living in a small town and in a very unhappy home. When I heard it I said, If there are people out there who can make music like this and people who listen to it, then someday I will find them and I won't be alone anymore. That's exactly what happened. David Byrne changed my life and this song remains my favorite of all time.
I can remember dancing to this in the kitchen with my mum as a kid, and now I listen to this song whenever I'm really missing my hometown. Makes me feel better but still incredibly sad at the same time, such a hard feeling to describe.
This song takes me back to a very different place in THIS world....remember? things were good, economy was GREAT, everything wasOURS for the taking.....ohhhhhh the 80's!!! Payin for it now aren't we????
