Talking Heads - And She Was (Official Video) [HD] 

David Byrne is a Living Genius, a musical treasure...

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

I am 65 years old and I can truly tell you the Talking Heads were the best and still are! Makes me Happy every time I hear them!

I grew up in the 80's and I liked this band but it wasn't until I was older that I realized how brilliant that they were.

Imagine me, a seventy year old senior listening to Talking Heads; I love this song! It lifts my spirits, makes me tap my feet and nod my head.

61 year old, and this song has new meaning: it's about my wife, multiple sclerosis has stripped away her ability to do anything but lift her right hand to her face, but her mind is still intact. She loves all that she senses: wind, bird song, sun's warmth, music, stories, humour, food and drink, being touched.

Happy 73rd Birthday Charton Christopher Frantz May 8, 1951.. Fort Campbell, Kentucky.. The Talking Heads were this really fantastic band that came out of the whole N.Y.C. C.B.G.B.'s scene. It took time but they caught fire and then everyone was burning down the house..

I'm 65, good music never gets to old.

My ex husband's (now late) grandmother never saw a music video in her life. This one happened to be on MTV at that moment I saw her. Tears were in her eyes. This video made her so happy. Her husband was physically abusive and controlled her every move. The ONLY one she saw before she passed. I still think about it today. He wasn't in the room. She saw this in it's entirety. I cry because I gave her happiness. So did this video. Much love. Thank you for reading.

Funny thing.....I was always a big fan of the talking Heads, and knew their songs well. When my Mom died, amid all the sadness....someone said "She is...I mean, "She Was'. So This song, and video came to mind! Bizarre I know....But I looked at it, and it all seemed to fit a woman, that died and moved up and on, and out in all directions'...liberated of her old body and life, moving into so much exciting and new. It just made me feel good and Happy for her.....like her soul was happy, and letting us know as much. Weird Eh?

I'm 24, both me and my Mrs love 80's music. I've always said I'm an old soul born too late. Will forever cherish this song and have it on my playlists

Was in England in 1986, and my boyfriend and his band used to do this song to perfection when they played pubs and social clubs. Its still one of the songs on their list that i remember vividly. Inwas 25, am 61 now and this brings back awesome memories 😊

David Byrne was way ahead of his time. What he and Brian Eno did. Amazing music that still resonates today.

You can tell at the end of the song they knew they had an amazing hit: cowbell clanging away, guitar riffs come in, silly and obnoxious vocals. They're having so much fun, and their music is pure joy.

Im 50 years old and I can say without hesitation that this band was tops in my childhood!

61 and remembering how great the music used to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song was in the charts while I was captured in the John Radcliffe hospital in Feb 1986, I was pregnant and my baby wasn't growing properly because I couldn't stop dashing around , this tune saved my sanity, and even now in 2020 "and she was" relates to my baby girl who is 34 and beautiful ♥️

The most original band of all time. Every person I know who loves The Talking Heads is weird.Including myself. This song envokes such a strange sense of nolstalgia even if you haven't heard it before

This reminds me of flying dreams that I used to have.

Without the Talking Heads, '80's Mtv just wouldn't have been the same. It was like each of their song's videos was a trip inside the mind of David Byrne. Artistic expression at it's best, I believe..

I was in an abusive relationship and would creep out onto the trampoline in the dark in my pajamas. This song always reminded me of me and the joy I was able to feel in the middle of lunacy. Love it.

This song never gets old.

This is the song that introduced me to the Talking Heads. I was 15. Every single one of their songs are different and to me that is amazing with their vast catalogue. Incredible talent here.

Got to see the David Byrne/Heads 2 times in Seattle Bumbershoot. During Burning down the house, David Byrne changes his wardrobe into a flaming suit of fire. Awesome! Long live the Heads!

Hey! And she was lying in the grass And she could hear the highway breathing And she could see a nearby factory She's making sure she is not dreaming See the lights of a neighbor's house Now she's starting to rise Take a minute to concentrate And she opens up her eyes The world was moving she was right there with it and she was The world was moving she was floating above it and she was And she was And she was drifting through the backyard And she was taking off her dress And she was moving very slowly Rising up above the earth Moving into the universe and she's Drifting this way and that Not touching the ground at all and she's Up above the yard The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was (Hey, hey) The world was moving, she was floating above it and she was (Hey, hey, hey) She was proud about it, no doubt about it She isn't sure about what she's done No time to think about what to tell him No time to think about what she's done and she was (Hey hey, hey hey, hey) And she was looking at herself And things were looking like a movie She had a pleasant elevation She's moving out in all directions oh, oh oh Hey, hey, hey Hey-hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey-hey hey! Hey, hey, hey Hey-hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey-hey hey! The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was (Hey, woo hoo) The world was moving, she was floating above it and she was (Hey, hey) Joining the world of missing persons and she was Missing enough to feel all right and she was And she was And she was And she was And she was And she was Hey! And she was! And she was And she was!

This band is gonna be big! I just know it.

I didn't appreciate any 80's music in the 80's, and now I search it out!

I am sixty-nine and I've been rocking to the Talking Heads for,..forty years at least

My daughter, all of 8 years old use to dance around to this mid 1990s. Now she's a Mom with her own kids. I STILL see her moving to this . She can't help it 😆😆

Trying to get my mind off the plague right now. This is exactly what I needed. I'm smiling and tapping my feet.

ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC!! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj

There is a wonderful eccentricity and surrealism about Talking Heads, in their music and wonderful videos. This is such a cool idea... a story as well as a song, that a woman was able to just float off into space one day and become a missing person just because she felt like it; using the power of her mind. This kind of stop-motion animated video was very trendy in the 80's. Another in this style was "Big Time" by Peter Gabriel. I've always loved Talking Heads and David Byrne's edgy, slightly mad-sounding vocals. I've never forgotten seeing him dancing insanely on stage in that rubber yellow suit. So original and so entertaining. 😍

Their stuff is so amazingly fresh that I keep forgetting how old these songs are.

I was born in 1967 and the 80's were the best without a doubt. Peace 🚂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👌

I'm 62 years young and still listen and dance to them crazy,just like them all good though 💯❤❤❤

This song never gets old. No, really, it doesn't! LULZ!

The most original band of all time.

One of the best songs about tripping on acid ever written....so joyous.

Something about listening to old upbeat songs like this that just makes you feel like your a main character in your own little movie or something.

Rising up above the Earth 🥰

Talking Heads was a GREAT band, consisting of four GREAT creative musicians lead by the indominatable incredible David Byrne! Miss them & their fun music!

I'm 53 now and everytime I hear this song it takes me back to being about 17 and all the stuff I had going on in my life at that time. Love it.

Seen David in a shopping cart in a parking lot in a rainstorm, giving a interview with MTV when this song came out. Over the top funny, I'm still gigglin... long live talking heads - I'll keep listening forever...

Still loving the music of the Talking Heads in 2022 Heading into 2023!😁❤

This is going to be my exit song at my funeral. It's in my advanced directive.❤ It's my love letter to all who attend to let them know that I'm happy and I'll be waiting at "The Bridge" for them when it's their turn to go.

I love this wonderful wonderfulness, thank you so much for this beautiful place in my mind!

seeing so many people comment on this music video with their own experiences is so amazing to me. this band united so many different people and this song still means a lot to them to this day. i love this song so much and always will!

The world is moving she right there and she was

This song was, is, and always will be a part of my inner soundtrack. ❤

Just makes ya wanna dance 💃. Even while you're laying down.

The stop motion and cut out animation is my jam right here 🤩

Really great song.The power ending is brilliant.

She was, and still is, in my rapidly fading memories of the 80's. Great song, great times.

Three most under rated bands of the 80's - Talking Heads, The Cars, and Cheap Trick.

0:05 you're asleep, the 'Hey!' wakes you up and you fall off the sofa along with a bowl of crisps.

A band that was a billion years ahead of there time🎸😜

Who else caught David Byrne's outstanding appearance on Saturday Night Live a couple months ago? This man is forever relevant... I'd be honored if some Talking Heads fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal RU-vid performance of THIS MUST BE THE PLACE (re-interpreted as a ballad) in tribute to one of the most unique & iconic bands of the late 70s/early 80s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe.

I’m a carer at an old folks home, my favourite resident said this was his favourite song, it could be mine now too, I’ll always remember him now ☺️

❤ absolute Bliss🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

i’m so glad I was raised on talking heads

LOVE DAVID! GENIUS! ♡♡♡ Here we gather in the world of missing persons, doesn't it feel lovely?

I was singing this song to myself when I was riding my bike today. It always makes me ride in long swooping curves while I belt it out. Thank you David Byrne.

Gosh, it's been so long, but took me right back!

This song along with most of their music has always lifted my spirits and made me happy!!

This is eternal.

Pure Fucking Genius.

I remember loving this as a kid. I'm going to play this song for my grandkids, you can't be anything but happy listening to The Heads.

I know this song is about a lady high af, but it makes me think of my gramma and my mom. RIP to the Ladies who helped make me a man.

This song makes me happy. Makes me long to be 21 again!

I love this song too at 68!!! My body sways to the music.😄😄😄

They had a great vibe. Miss them. It is such an inspiring song. She was(is) busy. And she was! Doing it all. Running at the speed of light it seemed. That is if she took a breath to realize, she was ...a bit too busy but still she was...amazing. 😎

CHRIST!!! THAT IS SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SOOOOO F'kin GOOOOOD!

I was born 1954. listen to old and new music still. so many levels ones are recorded in my mimd

David Byrne for President.

The production of this music video is indelible.

David byrne, fecking genius, all these these songs still sound fresh , one of the most underrated bands of the 80s

The world was moving and she was.

Classic song, classic video, pure class David....

Rising above the earth, Cheers!

"True Stories" is one of my favorite films though I always fall asleep. Dallas was so small in the 80's. Jamming "Dream Operator" right now.

Thank you, David.

There will never be another song like this one. So unique. Brilliant.

This is my childhood music in Glasgow growing up dogging school. Lol this band was way ahead of its time. David Byrne is just class... Not many bad songs I can think off.

The talking heads a great group, and David Byrnes a great singer I remember in 1985, when I was 18

Love this song. Great group.

Oh had totally forgotten this song by them. One of my favorites and such a great group. Their music videos and songs were some of my favorites from the 80s . Timeless music Thanks so much for the upload David!

What a masterpiece! Killer drum track. Solid groove with perfectly timed snare roll fills.

Such an awesome song!!

Thank you David Byrne for not dealing with VEVO I don't know any details or anything about VEVO; I just hate monopolies dealing with artists

Def one of my most fav Talking Heads songs/music videos... perfectly captures the magical essence of 80's music.

Great, Classic song! Talking heads are among many of my favorite bands of the 80's.

Needed major surgery on my ankle& leg- seeing this helps to rehabilitate - moving flexing & extending foot learning to walk again!- Thank You Talking Heads x

I love talking heads! Great band that brings me back to happy times

First Talking Heads song I had heard, back in 1985. Was the introduction to what is now my favourite band.

Love this great song!

3:35 damn bro you got the whole squad laughing

Thank you David Byrne

Haven't seen this in years and still the piece of absolute genius as I remember it. Happy, happy days...

Just fucking brilliant. Always was; always will be.

Great song and music video by the great David Byrne of Talking Heads 🙂
