10,000 Maniacs & David Byrne - Let the mystery be

[TJJ0808]

Sweet sweet sweet.LOve it so much. This has been such an important song in my life.You tube rocks.Count me in as well,Flopp.cant be sure if youre sinsere or not Zeldo, about serving the devil.but what an absurd comment.good one!

[LaraKid]

WOW Byrne have hair!

[Zeldovich]

I like how they serve the Devil here.

[FlopSideOfLife2009]

If this is how people serve the devil then count me in!!!!!

[Zeldovich]

Can I count you in sexually?

[FlopSideOfLife2009]

What?

Stay out of my pants freako.

[Zeldovich]

I haven't even gotten in them yet, though I will if I want to.

[1privatepop1]

I never heard this song before. Very sweet.

[bluenoserr]

A good cover of a great song, that was somewhat spoiled by a chunk of the audience cheering and whistling for their "saviour" when David got to that part. I guess if you're that insecure in your faith, everything becomes a straw poll.

[CoisesFoiledAgain]

Spoiled?

David's startled look at that point, like he's checking to be sure he knows where the exits are, is priceless!

[Reluctant5]

The crazies turn up in the least expected places sometimes!

[MrBluesforyou]

the best Cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MiraNikolic]

sounding so joyful, this simple beautiful song is lifting me up, always.....!!!!

[bronyrjhm]

Cool.... Daddyo!

If there are kids on here , this is a better place to get their music than the Jonas bros.!

[Reluctant5]

Pretty cool to do an MTV unplugged and invite David Byrne to do a couple of covers with you.

10,000 Maniacs really were something, werent they?

[sidobeef]

Do you have any more video from the Unplugged show? I love the CD (Like the Weather is the best!)

[girlfriday59]

I've got the Iris Dement original on my ipod. love david byrne,talking heads,natalie merchant,10,000 maniacs. great cover. loved it and thanks for posting the vid

[sparrowhawksailer]

Wonderful cover of this Iris Dement song. The vocal harmonies and Natilie's unique style keep the basic integrity of the song while adding a richness.

[babaradio]

WTF? David Byrne can't sing???? Are you joking or what? You must be about eleven years old.

Skip off. "isacsc".

[zeph1955]

Thanks for posting this! I've been looking for their version of this DeMent song for a long time and after watching Iris, saw the link to this. Love it! :D

[hocsoin]

famous people get too much praise, they are just singing songs, nothing more.

[tarstarkascarthoris]

What a peculiar combination.

[walterbrob]

your wrong about david byrne he has great unique vocals

[newtonmonroe]

Got this link from TREELEAF on line Zendo.Love the two voices, love Natalie Merchant's voice. An interesting song with a subtle message.

[isacsc]

It's amazing how David Byrne simply can't sing. Ruined the song, so many other beautiful voices they could have picked.

[kavallodefire]

What the f***! are you talking about ???? David Byrne can't sing ? My God, can somebody please talk to this person.....and explain that D.Byrne is one of the actual geniuses on this planet !!!

[nikkinkent]

Iris DeMent wrote it - it's on Infamous Angel

[timhampi]

About 9 months or so ago , there was a 9 minute clip here on YouTube from this MTV Unplugged video , of this great song plus 'Jolene' + the wonderful 'Did you ever see Dallas from a DC9 at night', all with Natalie + David .. WHERE HAS IT GONE .. ??!!

'Dallas' was an incredible duet ... I need to see it again .. !

Can anybody help .. ?!

[Reluctant5]

Agree. Dallas was fantastic. Its one of the great frustrations of youtube that gems klike that come and go. It was my favourite song of the whole gig. Dallas is a jewell, Dallas is a wonderful sight.

[obxangie]

I have a cd recording of the "Dallas" duet, I will see if I can post it sometime. I am kind of slow about getting around to doing these things, but I will give it a good effort.

[Reluctant5]

It would be much appreciated! When I left my girlfriend back in 1996 she kept my copy of it. I hadnt behaved well enough through the break up to ask for it back... But surely now I've served my time!?

[oliwrightbro]

Me also. Now where is the complete MTV Unplugged video at for this show?

[wvbluejeep]

I have searched and searched for this song...Love, Luv it! Wish I could travel back in time and watch this live. Very moving to me as a fan of the 80's.

[Ueltondaporra]

Me too

[1cloner]

me three! :)

[zeph1955]

me four!!

I finally found Iris Dement version (great!) but this was the one I was always looking for! Love it!

[sbryant328]

I love Natalie and I am a life-long fan. David Byrne adds another dimension that makes her sound even better. He is awesome too!!!!
