Talking Heads

Every now and then, I have a catch-up session with an old love. Recently it’s been Talking Heads, which reminded me of a David Byrne solo song that I loved. It’s pretty special. I remember hearing this song for the first time on Jools Holland when I was 18 and being taken away by the different instrumentation that he was using.

Lots of staccato, but these fit perfectly alongside Byrne’s soft vocals. It sounds to me like an out-take from a David Lynch directed West Side Story. Not sure why.
