      Not sure why MJ gets the title...I think David Byrne is the king of pop. This song is pop perfection

      Absolutely splendid. David sounds great. Anne Clark just looks so cool leaning against the sax player until she "patters" over to the mic to sing backup. And what a great solo from her. This band has such talent. Great video, great show.

      @daveyjoseph6058 4 месяца назад +2

      Honestly I'm not sure I can agree. It's fantastic, yes, but the studio is _flawless_
      There is something about the organic nature of live vocals, though. I think it resonates deeper within our brains

    One of the best songs of all time, performed brilliantly by the genius Byrne, and backup vocals by the goddess St. Vincent. Life doesn’t get any better than this

  • @rjmprod
    @rjmprod 11 лет назад +176

    Absolutely the best rendition of Strange Overtones I have ever heard him or anyone else do. Fucking incredible with the horns and Annie. David's voice gets better over time, and his phrasing is unmatched. I am only sorry I missed this tour. I hope this was recorded for a live album, I smell CLASSIC!!

    • @pcm7315
      @pcm7315 3 года назад +1

      Never missed horns so much as when I hear them in songs like this. Annie's playing toward the end of the piece seemed to reach back through the years and I got a little nostalgic for some of those sounds from years gone by. Wow! What a great ensemble. If not for RUclips I would not have heard any of these collaborations. Not sure how it took me this long to hear this. This is some of the best 'feel good' music out there.

    Someone in twitter linked to this song in April ‘21 and i have been obsessed with it since-learning the chord structure, melody, and the pure pleasure of playing and singing slong with the studio version. THEN I discovered the several live versions on youtube, fell in live eith St Vincent, and been playing along with it all almost daily ever since.

    I wake up every morning
    I hear your feet on the stairs
    You're in the next apartment
    I hear you singing over there
    These beats are out of fashion
    This groove is 20 years old
    I saw you lend a hand to
    The ones out standing in the cold
    Strange Overtones in the music you are playing
    I'll harmonize
    It is strong and you are tough
    But a heart is not enough
    Put on your socks and mittens
    It's getting colder tonight
    A snowball in my kitchen
    I watched it melt before my eyes
    Your song still needs a chorus
    I know you'll figure it out
    The rising of the verses
    A change of key will let you out
    Strange overtones though they're slightly out of fashion
    I'll harmonize
    I see the music in your face
    That your words cannot explain
    Strange Overtones in the music you are playing
    We're not alone
    It is strong and you are tough
    But a heart is not enough
