thanks deni for sharing. what a beautiful cover. i have all the 14 songs and love the entire sing it loud album. i hope you were able to get pre-sale tickets in oz and enjoy. x
@Kohutuhutu I think this is right too. I always understood the song to be about monotony: "The band in heaven plays my favorite song. They play it once again, they play it all night long."
Love it too. ..but i think she's got the lyrics wrong. David Byrne sings "nothing never happens" which is well synchronized with the rest of his song. k.d. sing "nothing ever happens" which could not be farther from the truth...according to David.
Hmmm, I believe the lyrics are indeed "a place where nothing ever happens". Message being; while we all strive for absolute utopia, if we actually got there it would be kinda boring. How can we really enjoy whats good if we dont know whats bad? In other words, be careful what you wish for. Things aint so bad in the real world so enjoy what we have.
@sukeong lol, talking heads play with words as do most recording artists. I want my heaven to be like David Byrnes "Heaven" where some always happens :).
@72911e ... but I guess "nothing never happens" is grammatically wrong and doesn't make sense, compared to "nothing ever happens" which is correct. :-)
