Talking Heads - Heaven

Talking Heads, Heaven from the Movie "Stop Making Sense".


Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called heaven.
The band in heaven plays my favorite song.
They play it once again, they play it all night long.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time.
Its hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, and so much fun.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

When this kiss is over it will start again.
It will not be any different, it will be exactly
The same.
Its hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

This recording sounds like it has been sped up, or played in a higher key than the CD that I have.

@benjammin107 That's a beautiful thought man! I went to 'Heaven' nightclub in London ages ago. There were massive painted paper mache fish hanging from the ceiling :D

@benjammin107 I saw this on the TV years ago, we all talked about the next day, not one bad track

Oh, Talking Heads going the 80s popular laughable style, no thanks mates, this is horrible version.

It's here the same band that made the great Fear Of Music and Remain In Light, very hard to believe it.

People who are trying to figure out whether this song is about a bar or a literal heaven are both right. Why can't a bar be heaven? Anything can be heaven. If the bar is fun enough, if it's filled with people you like, or even love, what's the difference between it and heaven? In this world of cruel intentions and greed, a place where worries are carried away, where you can have a drink, some snacks, talk to friends, sing kareoke badly, and just forget about everything bad is heaven.

@falaqdad15 Well both Queen and Talking heads are epic enough to have a giant concert in heaven together.
