Talking Heads classic "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" shows off synthesizers heavily, but it was recorded and performed completely using a single keyboard: the Prophet 5. William Kurk is here to run through the grooves in our studio (using the Prophet 6) to help you feel right at home when you experiment with the #SynthSounds of...Talking Heads.

My favorite Talking Heads song...The live version from Stop Making Sense is even more badass

@sebastianf.6558 3 года назад

Funny I was literally thinking exact the same 30 sec before I read this post.

@ac1232 Год назад

Totally 👍 agree

@nilychkirilov 9 месяцев назад

Stop Making Sense is one of the greatest live albums ever recorded.

Love how accurate you got the synth sounds. I've seen covers that forget that little drag at the end of the note

@nospammuppet7017 6 лет назад

Wow, soon as you said a south African quality to the music, I finally understand after all the years. You are one amazing guy.

@mrdavies7894 21 день назад

That wee bit of breakup you get on the lead sound is just perfect. When talking VSTs v The Real Thing, this example is exactly the little tiny subtle difference that takes it over the edge. But most importantly… beautifully played, man!

@Luschan 3 года назад

I never really noticed the pitch bends, but you’re right about how crucial it is. It’s used so much in this song, it makes me wonder if the keyboardist had just discovered pitch bending, and was using this song to play with the concept.

@MongerOfStrings8222 2 года назад

David byrne, the lead singer played keyboards on this so he probably didn't know as it was his first time playing keys on a talking heads track

This is brilliant. I only knew Talking Heads from Once in A Lifetime and Psycho Killer, but when I heard this song and other songs from this album, it just got me straight back into it, as well as watching Stop Making Sense Documentary, just making me want to listen to them! The Prophet is a key part in their music and sound!

@Sound8VisionVibe 6 лет назад

Would be a cool segue considering they covered this song in their college days. Theres a video of Andrew playing the break line on Electric Feel where he’s like “YES I FINALLY GOT IT DOWN!” It’s so funny. Would definitely make an interesting video.

@sdaniel724 6 лет назад

Sound8Vision I can imagine them covering The Talking Heads, MGMT was influenced by Brian Eno.

I'd never thought about it back in the day but you're right about that bassline having that South African influence that Paul Simon later incorporated to great commercial success. Man, I need to watch Stop Making Sense to warm my heart during this social distancing pandemic situation and it will provide the special bonus of seeing the late great Mr. Bernie Worrell!

@RationMinds78 6 лет назад

Great job breaking down the sounds of that song. I actually thought for one of the leads it was a electric guitar being manipulated to make that kind of noise (I'm sure it's possible that it can be done). One thing you missed was the drum part, what did you use to replicate the beat?
