_"So weird..."_ Amber actually gets the Heads far better than she realizes. 😁

@rbmtn4879 Год назад

They're not weird. Quirky maybe. And as on point as any group. And btw, if Amber revisits their songs, Once in a Lifetime will become one of her favorites.

"Weird" isn't an accusation. It's an admission. An admission of being basic and having very limited expectations of the world around you because of your own lack of imagination. If someone tells you someone or something is weird you ignore them and explore the thing or person they fail to get. Because it is guaranteed to be far more interesting.

@jackieknows9129 Год назад

"Two years before R.E.M. proclaimed "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," Talking Heads shared the sentiment on their single "Road To Nowhere," a deceptively upbeat pop-rock tune about facing a dire future with optimism. "I wanted to write a song that presented a resigned, even joyful look at doom," Talking Heads singer David Byrne recalled in the liner notes of Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads. "At our deaths and at the apocalypse… (always looming, folks). I think it succeeded. The front bit, the white gospel choir, is kind of tacked on, 'cause I didn't think the rest of the song was enough… I mean, it was only two chords. So, out of embarrassment, or shame, I wrote an intro section that had a couple more in it."

@peeg100 Год назад

We need more REM reactions. One thing that needs to be brought up. I think you guys need to pay some respect to 2 incredible talents who lost their battles on this day of April 5th. Kurt Cobain, 4/5/94 and Layne Staley 4/5/02. To me these two are just as important as Jim Morrison, and Janis Joplin. Kurt and Layne with their bands defined a generation. You guys should some tributes to them. Nirvana-Where did you sleep last night from Unplugged, and Alice In Chains- Love Hate Love live in Seattle.

@jimhalas4195 Год назад

Thanks for the informative message!

@burkeiowa Год назад

I still remember when a radio station was changing ownership/content and people didn't expect it. The filler content to avoid having radio silence was R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World as We Know It". Since it was on repeat for multiple days, people started to wonder if something terrible was happening at the station, and that perhaps someone there put that song on repeat as a hidden message, as in "send help, because we might die" or something. But no, they just chose that song to repeat. Oops. Road to Nowhere would have been an interestion alternative.

@joannecunliffe8067 Год назад

I might have misunderstand them but I always thought this song was about a possible nuclear Armageddon!

@myst0dreamer Год назад

I never thought about the lyrics to this song, which is historically my default. It used to be hard to figure out the lyrics of songs prior to the internet. Anyway, thinking about this song for the first time, and not ever hearing anyone else's opinions, I asked myself, "Where is nowhere?" And I thought maybe that means there is no destination, life goes round and round like some of the things that appear in the video. We go through life, we die, and the next generation carries on. There's no real development or deep meaning to it. That was my take on this. I didn't see Armageddon or anything until I read these comments.

You guys really need to react to their "Stop Making Sense" concert film, which is considered by many critics to be one of the greatest concert films of all time. 🏆😎 The creativity, energy and stamina of Talking Heads and the other musicians on stage is incredible! The performance starts out bare, with just singer David Byrne holding an acoustic guitar and pressing the Play button on a cassette tape player. Each successive song adds another band member to the mix and before you know it, the stage is full and the high energy is contagious! You could always break it up into smaller clips for posting. Even if you don't react to it for the channel, you owe it to yourself to check it out and you will not be disappointed! 🔥🎶😎

@TahoeNevada Год назад

I think they should react to SMS after hearing a few more Talking Heads album tracks first.

@JoeKueser Год назад

They're doing a 4K re-release of Stop Making Sense in August 2023, along with a remastered version of the album with 2 previously unreleased tracks. Really looking forward to it.

"Life During Wartime" live version from the concert movie Stop Making Sense. Actually, you might consider doing the whole movie for your other channel. It is one of the greatest concert films ever. edit - just to let you know there is a new version of the film being issued to celebrate its' release 40 years ago ... "Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense will return to theaters in 2023 with a newly restored 4K version via A24. A Deluxe Edition of the legendary concert film soundtrack will be released on a limited edition 2-LP Set And Digitally with two previously unreleased songs on August 18"

@jamesscully529 Год назад

Saw them back in 1983, probably the best concert I have ever seen in my life, and the tour was later made into the movie Stop Making Sense. Just a few days ago, Seymour Stein passed away and he headed up Sire Records, and was the exec who signed Talking Heads and many more of the new wave acts of the late 70s and 80s, including Madonna. David Byrne and Chris Frantz - the drummer in Talking Heads - remembered him as giving them the opportunity and how much he appreciated and loved the artists he signed. The guy was a visionary and many of these people might never have been heard without him.

@HidingFromFate Год назад

I think Belle & Sebastian had a song entitled, Seymour Stein. Back in the 00's.

@tom587 Год назад

Saw them way, way back at CBGBs. Never forgot the performance of Psycho Killer. They were just starting out. Became a great band with real variety to all their work.

@kathyastrom1315 Год назад

Back in the late ‘90s, I had an assistant manager Connie who had the best Talking Heads story. She saw them playing in a small Chicago club before they had any big success nationwide. She loved the show, and stick around afterwards. She struck up a conversation with Tina as the band was getting drinks at the bar. They got along, so when Tina invited Connie along for their club-hopping night, she said sure! She spent the night dancing with Tina and the rest of the guys at various clubs in Chicago. She thought that Tina got a kick out of having a girl to hang with instead of just the guys in the band.

@MrThesem Год назад

@Tom I saw them in upstate NY probably around the same time as you did. They played in a small bar just off campus next to a local college. Maybe 100 people in attendance. Psycho Killer was just hitting the airwaves. They brought the house down, I'll never forget it.

@aj_aka_alan Год назад

I just learned that Psycho Killer was inspired by crossing Alice Cooper with Randy Neumann. As in what if they created a song together.

@wadsworthaaron Год назад

So much of their stuff is absolutely genius. The song, "And She Was" should be on your list... a great song with a beautiful blend of youthful innocence, lyrics that paint an experience like a picture, and great music.

@fayesouthall6604 Год назад

Absolutely right

@warpspasm6652 Год назад

I thought 'and she was' is a song about a girl David Byrne met who used to take L.S.D. and practice meditation to have out of body experience, not sure if that counts as youthful innocence but it is one of my favourite songs.

@wadsworthaaron Год назад

@@warpspasm6652 The youthful innocence is reflected in the choices of description of the girl and her (likely suburban) tripping experience. Songs about a drug experience can still reflect an innocence if it's a part of the person having it. ^^

David Byrne said the point he wanted the video to get across was that we're ALL on this road to nowhere, so it had to be crammed full of different folks doing different things, to try to convey the EVERYBODY part. That's why the globe is in it, I think.

@bryanCJC2105 Год назад

I always interpreted this song as a statement of "what is this for?" A question we all have at one time or another. Like it seems like we all go through the motions of school, work, marriage, kids, grow old, and die. For what? It can all seem like a road to nowhere. Whether you became "somebody" or remained a "nobody", we all end up dead in the end. Even our experiences disappear in the end. I often think of that and I think this song is kind of about that in my mind.

@timoboyle8867 Год назад

Well said!

@0okamino Год назад

To me, this song takes what could be nihilistic dread, and steers it in a thoughtfully positive direction. Even if the road is ultimately to nowhere, it’s alright, and temporary meaningfulness can still be important.

David Byrne is like the love child of Any Warhol and Salvador Dali. Oh, and his neighbor (Marcel Duchamp) was his baby sitter. every time I watch a Talking Heads video I seem to discover some new "take" or meaning hidden in it - and am often left wondering what the "take" says about myself, lol.

I love the Talking Heads. There I was, a UC Berkeley student at a Telegraph Ave coffeeshop one rainy northern California day, and Talking Heads greatest hits playing on the sound system. It became sort of the soundtrack to my life. Don't know if that should scare me, but it all worked out. Same as it ever was.

@coachtomas Год назад

You are one of the few (maybe the only ?) reaction channel that has this connection with the viewers. Summarised perfectly in how you said that there is no way you are going to know the full meaning of a song on the first listen... or know the context or the reason why some songs are such big hits. Sometimes something happened culturally in the world that give birth to a song. Kudos to both of you. Were on this journey together ! Uhh BTW... Talking Heads were masters of opposites imo. The song can be poppy and happy, but the lyrics can be sad or deep. I haven't heard that much of their work, but I like how they smash opposites together.

@michaelcoffey1991 Год назад

Talking Heads is one of the top 5 to 10 most influential bands of the 80's as it was a MAJOR bringer of "New Wave" to America via MTV (Back when MTV was relevant and actually good). Was fun to see you both get to see another classic video and a track from Talking Heads and the brilliant David Byrne

Thanks guys! Another cool reaction vid. As for the message, David Byrne has gone on record as saying "song lyrics are overrated". According to Byrne himself, he's always been a man driven by sound more than words. But it's hard to know what to think of this. He's such a deep thinker that's it's hard to imagine he doesn't give any weight to the words in his songs. But the themes strike me as sociological, more than political. There's definitely an interest in people and the perils of western civilisation.

I love the way you said Off Grid Well, we're going off grid like the 80's predicted. God bless you both and your beautiful kiddies

To understand them, you’d need to hear more. I’ll suggest ‘Cities’. Btw, the couple in the video are Chris and Tina from the band and they are married.

"How would you describe the Talking Heads?" Me: "....yes...?" 😂

Amber, a fun song to react to for Female Friday is Janet Jackson’s “Alright”. And yes, that is Cab Calloway (in a Zoot Suit) making a cameo appearance in the video! This song is a lot of fun!

Jordan talks about not understanding songs after a first listen. There are songs I've heard a hundred times (this one, for instance) that I'm not sure I fully understand. I love the song though. The music, the singing, the experience, the feel it gives me, the mood I'm in at the time. It can still be enjoyed despite not 'getting' all of it. Every listen brings out one more detail and that makes for a great song.

One of my most favorite Talking Heads songs ever!

I always saw the church introduction as a reference to, births, baptisms, marriages and deaths. The main chapters in a person's life.

I watch Road to Nowhere and I can only think of one word to describe it - genius.

Now you know why at the end of the live version of “Life During Wartime” he asks: “Anyone have any questions?”

The man could layer rhythms better than anybody.

Love the Zydeco sound in this tune

“Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick” by Ian Dury and the Blockheads is another one I highly recommend if you want some more “quirky” pop.

This song makes me think about the movie Little Monsters with Fred Savage and Howie Mandel. Anyone else? This song made those closing credits.

I’m 50, but this [is] the only song I remember from them when they were going in the 1980’s. It’s that good.

David Byrne wrote: "I wanted to write a song that presented a resigned, even joyful look at doom. At our deaths and at the apocalypse… (always looming, folks). I think it succeeded."

I heard a cover version of this, performed by senior citizens. It really did sound like they were on the road to nowhere.

@shaunhouse8469 Год назад

I'd say Road to Nowhere is the best summary of Talking Heads, there's Country in there, there's Gospel in there, there's Funk in there, there's Electro New Wave there too

I agree, their film, Stop Making Sense was brilliant. A must see.

When you live through the creactions of this music the stories around songs become part of your memory of the songs. I know a 60's or 70's protest song and know all it's meanings while listening to it. I also experienced the same things as they. Found memories and sad ones just a part of life.

I was just looking back at your TH reactions and I saw you never did Stay Up Late by them. You have to do it. It's not they're best ever, but it's sweet and cute and fun. As the best Mama and Papa ever, you will love it!

@martinstubbs7974 Год назад

The genius that is David Byrne. Lovely to see you guys! Take care

@dougclarkson7947 Год назад

Love Talking Heads, something you might want to check out is “Stop Making Sense” live concert with a lot of great tunes, “Slippery People” is one of my favourites!
