David Byrne: “Burning Down the House” wasn't a song about arson. When I wrote the lyrics in 1982, the title phrase was a metaphor for destroying something safe that entrapped you. I envisioned the song as an expression of liberation, to break free from whatever was holding you back.

@dr.burtgummerfan439 2 года назад

The song was inspired by listening to Parliament Funkadelic. Even the line "burnin' down the house".

The axiom that there are questions that we just can't answer is a big theme in their music too. I think that "Road To Nowhere" is their strongest statement on the idea because it says that there are questions that we'll never answer, and that's OK. Talking Heads music is comforting to a worrier like me. And also funky lol.

guys, this song is one of the true legendary songs of the 80's - when we used to listen to it we ignored MOST of the lyrics, all we sang was the chorus line; "burning down the house" the whole point of this song at the clubs, on your home stereo or in your car was just to bop along to the awesome beat and cray out, "burning down the house"....nothing more. You could read into it that they were saying that your going to leave behind your old life or what problem and issues you have, pack your bags, burn down the house, and just leave....but even that is a stretch. Just bop to the beat and sing the chorus. For me 40 years later when this song comes on my car radio you have no idea how happy it makes me feel, the memories of my friends back then and the fun we had.

Good pick. These guys have a very good catalogue. "Life During Wartime" is a must. And "This Must Be the Place". It's good that you bring up Beck. The Talking Heads were huge a huge influence on Beck. You can hear them loud and clear in just about every one of his albums. They are there (along with The Pixies) in every Modest Mouse album as well. Your education in "alternative rock" is coming along nicely lol.

Agree about Beck. Favorite artist of this 66 yr old dude. TH undertones, but Beck creates a real landscape of sounds, beats and grooves.

@s.mcpherson6354 2 года назад

Like KISS, this is a band where the visual of them performing really helps to contextualize how to 'take' their songs. Even if they don't show it to us, they would likely find the band a little less mysterious if they saw how they approach doing something like 'Life During Wartime,' live.

I've never verified whether this is true - but my understanding of Talking Heads is that they all met while they were art students in college in the 1970s and decided to form a musical band. They were on the forefront of the new wave movement. If you keep in mind their "artsy" beginning - then their music makes a little more sense. But I could be wrong. THanks for your reactions.

@Jessica_Roth 2 года назад

The overwhelming theme of most of Talking Heads' work is feeling out of place and disconnected from modern society. You see it in "Life During Wartime", "Once in a Lifetime" and "And She Was", as well as this song. (All of those are awesome, btw.)

Funny story...trying to get sober in the mid 90s, staying at a halfway house in Phoenix Arizona. Small apartment style recovery house. 14 apartments surrounding a swimming pool. 4 to a apartment. My 3rd day, came home from work round 2:30pm and eating in the cafeteria/mtg room when the fire alarm went off. Counselors gathered us and walked us out the complex. I could see smoke coming from my apt. As we passed an open door on our way out, this song was playing. Come to find out, one of my roommates had pushed their bed up against a wall receptacle and a plug from a clock/radio was exposed and lit his mattress on fire. Even Alzheimer's won't take that memory away....whenever I hear this song, it always takes me back. ☮️🔥

My dad took me to Mexico as a high school graduation present in 1991 and in this little diving town we stopped at, "Burning Down the House" was playing at the bar and the Mexican bartenders were singing along to it. I don't even remember it, but my dad would remind me of it every now and then. He must've thought Mexican bartenders singing Talking Heads in the middle of nowhere was pretty random.

@wreckingKREW1 2 года назад

That was the entire point of the lyrics to the entire Speaking In Tongues album...Byrne put together a bunch of couplets that worked with each other and then randomly threw them together for each song. This band was comprised of 4 visual arts students who just came at music from an entirely different perspective and to me and many others it was brilliant. And they grooved liked no one's business too. Definitely one of my very favorite bands of all-time.

@francesw.6774 2 года назад

I'm not sure about the rest of the band, but David Byrne was an art student at RISD. Completely original, no one else like them group and music. Byrne still tours and performs and, when I saw him about a dozen years ago, his band (different members from Talking Heads, who had long since disbanded) and him put on an amazing show. Oddball genius at its finest.

@johannooyen3213 2 года назад

Talking heads had some concert filmed and turned into a concert movie. Yes, shown in movie theaters. For these concerts they added some extra band members, like from the The Brothers Johnson band. That really injected some Funk & Soul into their songs. A must whatch..

@netzahuacoyotl 2 года назад

Quirkiness and randomness were part of the aesthetic of New Wave music. It was kind of a reaction to the “we can make the world better” message of 60s-70s music. It’s like accepting that life can seem random and lack sense.

There is actually quite a bit of meaning in Talking Heads lyrics, this song included. David Byrne's lyrics talk about universal themes from a perspective unfamiliar to people who haven't been exposed to leftist theory. The "house" he is talking about is society writ large facing the crises of late capitalism which were already appearing even in the 1980s, & the responses of society to them. These lyrics are anything but random.

@skasteve6528 2 года назад

'Burn down the house!' was something Pariament/Funkadelic used to shout (You should react to them if you can find live footage). Chris Frantz, the drummer, went to a Parliament gig & during the next rehearsal, he would randomly shout 'Burn down the house!'. David Byrne liked it & the band wrote this song. I would suggest Life During Wartime if you want to react to more Talking Heads (& why wouldn't you?), especially a live version.

From what I read the lyrics were never meant to have any specific meaning...they were inspired by a Parliament/Funkadelic concert, and felt that with funk the lyrics were never meant to get in the way of a great groove. So they sang lyrics that weren't really connected to each other but fit the beat and groove perfectly. That's why you get an out-of-the-blue lyric like "Six-Hun-Dred-Six-Ty-Five-De-Grees!"--it fit perfectly into the rhythm and beat of the groove without needing to mean anything.

In the early 80's hip hop was just getting started. They would throw parties in abandoned burned out high rises. People in Brooklyn were burning their own buildings to collect insurance money. The talking heads went to one of these parties and the performers kept shouting "burning down the house" so David Byrne made the phrase into a song.

Great memories😊 my older brother was always working he had me listening to Radio as a pre-teen to find out name of artist & songs. That's why i ❤ New Wave

I’m often finding Lex’s interpretations as unusually concise and profound. Good one ya’ll. I couldn’t describe Talking Head’s music any better. This Band was mainly a husband and wife team that brought in David to Sing. I enjoy your comments too Brad, you know how she’s just good at verbalizing the intangible sometimes.

Those drums punctuating that big echoey space always sound awesome

seymour stein would hang around the exits of downtown clubs in new york after the talking heads gigs to catch the band before they headed back to their dorms at risd and offer them a deal on his punk/new wave label sire records ...it took nearly a year of weekly rejections until seymour's tenacity paid off and he finally heard the band say yes... he brokered a deal with warner bros for distribution and well soon enough the talking heads debut was available on vinyl at local record stores across the u.s...along with the ramones, the dead boys, the undertones and as the 70s faded into the 80s soft cell, the cure, the smiths, depeche mode, echo & the bunnyman, the pretenders, madonna....seymour knew what was up before it was up

Lol Lex gets David Byrne on a molecular level, and I’m very happy about it.

Someone in high school made me laugh my ass off when he sang this song. He made up the lyrics as he went along & it was different every time...

In the early eighties the two, most commercial artists who were using polyrhythms were Talking Heads and Peter Gabriel. Another (less popular at that time, but still fantastic) was King Crimson (their trilogy "Discipline", "Beat", and "Three of a Perfect Pair" were excellent albums).

And, what else do those great groups' best albums have in common? Adrian Belew, super genius of guitar sounds.

@SteveMenardDesignDXM 2 года назад

@@ezekieleaton3335 You got that right. I have some of his solo stuff, as well as an album he did as part of "The Bears".

A good follow up to Talking Heads is their side project Tom Tom Club, made up of their drummer and his wife their bassist, and their mega dance hit "Genius Of Love" which is one of the most sampled songs from the 1980's.

This is great higher volume song from Talking Heads. I turn this up, every time.

Was at CBGB's before they, and others, were signed. We had no idea what we were witnessing. Amazing music🎵❤️✌️ Watch the Talking Heads in '77 then watch the most recent R&RHOF. What an unbelievable transformation. Thanks so much for posting this. Enjoy all🙂
