@randytorres8211 Год назад

Written by Al Green with his guitarist, Teenie Hodges, "Take Me To The River" first appeared on Green's 1974 album Al Green Explores Your Mind. It wasn't a hit, but attracted lots of cover versions, including by Syl Johnson in 1975, Foghat in 1976 and Bryan Ferry in 1978. Green and Johnson's versions were well known in R&B circles, but the Talking Heads brought it to the New Wave rock crowd and had the highest charting version of the song, reaching #26 in the US. The song is about a baptism, a topic that jelled with Al Green, who later became an ordained minister. You wouldn't think a New York City-based art-rock band could pull off a gospel-tinged song by a Southern soul singer, but Talking Heads kept the spiritual feel of the song while putting their own spin on it - lead singer David Byrne doesn't sound like a traditional vocalist and could inhabit a character quite believably. His version of preaching on "Take Me To The River" foreshadowed a later Talking Heads hit, "Once In A Lifetime." (Songfacts.com)

This is one of the few bands where I will recommend live versions of most of their popular songs. Their live sound is spot on, which is good, but it's the visual performance that is the seller. It's hilarious and full of energy. Life During Wartime is the best. He literally runs laps around the stage during the song. When he isn't doing that he's dancing like a goofball while he sings...thats not an insult either as he is smooth as could be even while moving very strangely. It's just amazing enetertainment.

The playful back and forths of singing and dancing between Byrne, Harrison and the back up singers are amazing on that track.

@bobschenkel7921 Год назад

The lyric "Love is an ocean" is your biggest clue to the meaning of the song. All rivers eventually run into the ocean, so the songwriter is asking for the object of his song to start him on the route of love, just get him started. It's a love song, but a person in search of love, not someone who already HAS love in their life. And Tina Weymouth's Bass line is insistent and urging.

@rgractor Год назад

Pretty sure that’s not the lyrics and is just a poor transcription. I think it’s, “Love is a notion that I can’t forget,” not, “Love is an ocean that I can’t forget.” But, that’s a cool interpretation nevertheless!

@@daledodson1279 the original lyric in the Al Green version was, “Love is a notion that I can’t forget.” It seems to have been inaccurately transcribed here and may have been sung inaccurately in a cover, but I’m pretty sure this version is also “notion”. The line is about the singer not being willing to give up on the notion of love, despite all the things the other person had put them through.

@sjw5797 Год назад

The Committments had the best version.

@rossmacintosh5652 Год назад

I think the being taken to the river & dropped in is a metaphor for baptism & being saved. In the verses it seems the lyrics are about seeking love, so requesting the 'baptism' may be about asking to have a fresh start. As we all know, when we have a crush on someone our lustful feelings can be baggage that get in the way of the relationship we crave. We often just wish we could start over. Soul singer Al Green who wrote & recorded the song four years before The Talking Heads covered it. He went on to become a pastor so if the song has some religious references, it might not be unexpected.

There was something so different in it that I pulled off the road to stop and listen. I think that only happened once or twice in my life. Still one of my favorites to sing to myself. Brad, you've probably heard the "squeeze me, tease me" rhyme in lots of songs; it shows up a lot, going back to at least Fats Waller and Ella Fitzgerald. One of the more recent examples is Li'l Kim's "Touch Me, Squeeze Me": "You gotta please me Touch and tease me Love me, hug me Rub me, squeeze me Kiss me, and never deceive me."

Talking Heads were a very unique, artsy punk rock band. New wave punk and always had funk added to their music. Bass guitars. Very danceable music. lol Similar to B-52s, David Bowie (some years), Devo, Oingo Boingo, etc. Punk funk! Punk rock bands hung out with funk bands often back then at underground clubs, therefore the influences. They were kind of a nerdy, odd, smart band (they met at an art college in NYC area). Lot of their stuff was played on college radio, alternative radio stations. Al Green cover, BTW. Always watch Talking Heads live videos and music videos, they are very fun and funny. Dance moves and antics. BTW, Brad heard the familiarity with Journey "Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin" Yall done that one awhile back.

Yes, Stop Making Sense is a fantastic concert movie - but I still think this studio version is ace. The stealthy tempo and atmosphere are superb, and David Byrne's vocal is commanding. One of the things I love about this take on a soul classic is that Talking Heads truly remake the song in their own image, and Byrne doesn't try to "sound black", by which I mean he doesn't try to ape any of Al Green's vocal inflections and phrasing.

You guys are great, and your skin color compelled me to make this comment, I think it will interest you. This is a very old song, a pure blues song. I did not do my fact finding homework before this writing, I just started commenting. Who actually gets the credit for this song as the first recording artist with a contract. Another commenter below says it is Al Green and I am not going to doubt him, but where did Al Green get the idea from? The slaves working the fields in places like Georgia and Alabama under way too much sun heat and in known oppressed circumstances would sing this song "Take me to the river, dump me in the water" in pure blues fashion in a cry to be cooled off by water and to in dream like fashion quest for the sense of freedom of just going to a river for fun and cool down. All this as a means to cope with the day, the work and their circumstances. I can just imagine black musicians in the 1930's to 60's going to Chicago for a music career and playing altered versions of this song in the Chicago clubs. Of course subsequent recording artist altered and changed the music and lyrics up to make this song more light weight and palatable for audiences. So many blues musicians in their sense of purity love to play this song, I would say that it is a staple in blues music, popularized further by blues themed movies like "The Commitments" (the movie features this song). I am with Lex, this Talking Heads version has quite a bit of tasteful funk to it. David Byrne is a great artist and The Talking Heads a great band, as they are praised in many comments below. What's interesting is that The Talking Heads were a "split-off" of a late 70's, early 80's, equally interesting pure Disco era and genre New York band, the "Tom Tom Club".

I enjoy your reactions. This song is catchy. I really appreciated music more when I started playing instruments. I started with the guitar and learned the bass. I played bass in a jazz band and a school stage band. I really do appreciate Tina Weymouth's bass playing in this song.

The talking heads are more than music. It's an artistic expression. You really need to watch Life During Wartime live to see what David Byrne intended us to experience.

If you can believe it, I played this song at my Brothers funeral. It was the first song that my other brother and I thought of when we were picking a favorite song of my brother that passed. He loved The Talking Heads period. Of course we also played traditional funeral songs but we wanted to have a couple of his favorite songs. The other song was The Flame by Cheap Trick. My brother was not a cryer but everytime he would be listening to The Flame, it brought tears to his eyes. It must have meant something to him. I do not know why I am telling you all this, feels a little odd. Thanks and have a great day everyone

xo The Flame is a beautiful song.. that holds special meaning for me, too. I'm so sorry to hear that your brother passed away... please give my regards to your other brother and the rest of your family. My heart is saddened at all loss... before their time. xo Be well.

It would be nice to hear “And She Was” by Talking Heads as I haven’t heard anyone react to it out of all the reactions I’ve e watched for may years! Great melodic song, good upbeat!

"Damn we blew our cheese on that thing" is now my personal motto and what I will always say whenever I enjoy something.

I watched them perform this live on SNL in Feb of 1979.

Aww man I got so excited by the thumb nail, they're finally doing the live version rather than these low energy album remasters. I love Talking Heads but live it's like a different band with the energy and funk cranked to 100

First song I ever heard by them, and I fell in love with it!!!

I saw them in 1978 for free at UCLA and again in 1982. The second time I was in the throes of addiction . I actually thought I was going to see the Clash. Fortunately it was the last show I went to high. I just celebrated 40 years of sobriety. Thing about Talking Heads is they were always evolving with their music . One of the great band in my opinion.

@Jessica_Roth Год назад

So Talking Heads AND The Clash were doing shows in your city on the same day? Dang!

@richardlavarini7334 Год назад

@@Jessica_Roth no,i was so high on drugs at the time that in my head i believed it was The Clash i was seeing until i arrived at Pantages theater.
