the great intoxication

Since the first time I ever heard The Great Intoxication, every single time I listen to it, this song has affected me with tears of happiness.

I am moved by David Byrne's other songs as well. He has been in heavy rotation in my collection for nearly 27 years. Still, I cannot fathom how so much of his profound musical and cultural brilliance can be compressed into the 3:49 of this song in particular.

David Byrne finished working on his masterpiece when this song was recorded!
