I'd be honored if some David Byrne & Talking Heads fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of THIS MUST BE THE PLACE (re-interpreted as a ballad) on my YT channel in tribute to one of the most unique & iconic bands of the late 70s/early 80s era. Raw acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.
What a guy, surrounding himself with top notch musicians and rearranging his famous songs tastefully, and taking well care of his voice, and collaborating with younger, exciting artists as well
Reminds me of my dad. The Talking Heads was his favorite band along side of many other bands. The car rides with my dad was epic and full of wonderful music. Now I get to pass the car rides to my daughters. I really miss my dad. The Talking Heads is a nice reminder of my dad and my childhood.
you 'got light in 'yer eyes....and 'yer stand'n here beside me, I love the passing of time, always for love, never for money... cover up 'an say good night....
I ain’t ashamed to say it watching the strings and percussion instruments along with that voice got me all in my feelings. Such a special song. Gratitude
Someone introduced me to this song more then 2 years ago, and I’m grateful for that! Its a masterpiece, makes me dance while swinging my hands in the air. Total freedom 🤍🖤
Dancing in the kitchen wile cooking dinner and playing this over and over again. Nothing like real talent, real music, and the sublime David Byrne. It does not get better than this, folks.
Agree across the board. And his "does anybody have any questions?" at the end of Life During Wartime is one of the great moments in cinema and video...
So so good. An amazing tune then that has only improved with age. A remarkable talent. Loved reading all these comments. It seems this song holds a special place for so many people as it does with me. Best song ever? Its certainly up there..
This is one of the very few songs that make me want to combust in joy as well as drown in misplaced sadness at the same time. I can’t quite put my finger on why it triggers so many buttons in me- is it the composition, the lyrics, his vocals, what is it I don’t know. Or does it have to do with that tendril-like bassline that loops on from front to end... It can’t be explained. It’s one song I really want to listen to if I were given five songs to listen before I die.
My mother visited me in 1985 when I was living alone. 'must get lonely here with just your music"... But Mum I had music like this to listen to. It wasn't too bad.
How could one not get up and dance to this song? Me and my dance partner would share the floor with David, swaying to the rhythm. Because...this is where I'll be.
Still watching this from time to time....its just pure magic and my fav lyric "you got a face with a view" love it and this arrangement so uplifting and above all entertaining
No pretension. Pure art. Genuis and total inventiveness along with Bowie, Waitts, Zappa etc etc etc Pop art, ingenious, humorous, cynical but sublime snd and never replaceable !
This is brilliant, got my scar on my leg going to see talking heads Edinburgh. Last night of the festival, pissing with rain, sliced my calf on a chipped glass table, no taxi so had to get an ambulance to hospital asked them to stitch very quickly as going to see talking heads. Stitched, sorted made the gig.
Um, I'm sorry, but this is perfect music making. Everything about it. It's a stellar performance by a genius working with talented musician. I cannot love this any more than I do. I love this guy!
One of my favorite songs. I love the strings added. I love it when David takes music and improves on it. He certainly improved this song for me. I loved the song to begin with then this version turned my head again. ❤🌼😍
Heard this again after many years on a trip to Barcelona in May this year in a market. The stall holder was just playing it, I went over s we ended up dancing to it for 5 minutes including a repeat. Played it everyday since in between tears as it is quite possible one of the most beautiful songs ever made.
there's a chance that this is the best song of all time and i don't say that lightly ..cuz i listen to a lot of music ..i got a lot of time on my hands
![David Byrne - "This Must Be The Place (Naïve Melody)" [Live from Austin, TX]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/BIbrrAbsDpw/mqdefault.jpg)
Easily the most beautiful version of the most beautiful love song ever written.
Possibly the best song ever written.....

"Naive melody not playing here? This is def not my house."
Whats up with you mentioning the use of commas
It could just be....
Is it just me or is that absolutely awesome?

What a guy, surrounding himself with top notch musicians and rearranging his famous songs tastefully, and taking well care of his voice, and collaborating with younger, exciting artists as well
and he still doesn't age

That is nice. Good luck and God Bless! I bet you're a cool dad!

David Byrne and his masterpiece "This Must Be the Place" are aging like fine wine.

I ain’t ashamed to say it watching the strings and percussion instruments along with that voice got me all in my feelings. Such a special song. Gratitude
Nothing to be ashamed for, that's fine.
Masterpiece by a genius
His voice sounds the same as it ever was

This song always makes me cry, but this version is really something special. Wow.
I have nothing but love for David Byrne! Love his moves!
If you are ever feeling down. Listen to this song. Also give JAMES sometimes a quick listen. Stay safe.
Dancing in the kitchen wile cooking dinner and playing this over and over again. Nothing like real talent, real music, and the sublime David Byrne. It does not get better than this, folks.
THIS IS THE FINEST EVRER WRITEN SONG IN HISTORY!
If you had to listen to one song.forever…👍one of the top 3 songs of all time…just 3…
Mr David Byrne you sir... Are absolutely magical... You and your band have made me so happy with this one song!!
Every time I listen to Davld Byrne and Talking Heads they still sound ahead of the times and I think they always will
Great live version but for me the best version will always be the one in "Stop Making Sense" where he's dancing with the lamp
yeah but that's also the best thing that happened, ever...
That entire concert was brilliant, I grew up with that!!
Agree across the board. And his "does anybody have any questions?" at the end of Life During Wartime is one of the great moments in cinema and video...
No need to be compare
Holy Jesus, this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I'm flabbergasted.
heee! David is a genious...some of his stage stuff is crude, but effective...
the original is thee best..........good western scottish boy.
So so good. An amazing tune then that has only improved with age. A remarkable talent. Loved reading all these comments. It seems this song holds a special place for so many people as it does with me. Best song ever? Its certainly up there..
Not my quote, but on another post I read:
“If heaven has an elevator I hope this is playing”
I like it a log more than their song called "Heaven".
Why does this song make me cry
It's a masterpiece
Whos Still listenin to this Classic in 2021💯
Just goes to show there are many gems out there ! Never stop listening to old stuff , wonderful tune !

Yes. Yes.
Beautifully stated
it's an ultimate love song, weather 'yer a boy or a girl....
Well said - beautiful
Exactly
If I only had one song left to listen to.........true beauty
My mother visited me in 1985 when I was living alone. 'must get lonely here with just your music"... But Mum I had music like this to listen to. It wasn't too bad.
How could one not get up and dance to this song?
Me and my dance partner would share the floor with David, swaying to the rhythm.
Because...this is where I'll be.
This could be the best song I’ve ever heard, I’ve listened to 1000,s of tunes over the past 40 odd years, this is the place to be.
I've almost put a hole through my phone from pushing the like button so many times for this
Beautiful David, Beautiful song .
This made me pull through after my mother 's funeral. I am eternally grateful.
Once David started singing it changed the whole vibe. Everyone started smiling in the band and grooving.
Still watching this from time to time....its just pure magic and my fav lyric "you got a face with a view" love it and this arrangement so uplifting and above all entertaining
Literally my favorite song of all time.
I'm 42 only found david Byrne this wknd on BBC what a f artist ....
WOW. Still sublime, and the strings make it all the more beautiful! This is one of my favorite love songs EVER, and to hear it like this....WOW.
So so good!
No pretension. Pure art. Genuis and total inventiveness along with Bowie, Waitts, Zappa etc etc etc
Pop art, ingenious, humorous, cynical but sublime snd and never replaceable !
I can't even... Gawd I love this song. Even more when performed live... I'm jammin and crying

David Byrne - Total Genius , His music is timeless
David Bryne 2019 still looks and sounds great. Cool cat that guy
Dan Lum Just saw American Utopia, better than ever!
brings a tear to my eye
yep, one of the greatest love songs in recent memory.....
David Byrne - Great performer who does his own thing thankfully.
My favourite version of this record...
David Byrne is a musical genius
What about that voice,damm after all this years and he still sounds great.
Violins make everything sound more epic. Even pieces that are already epic. They merely make them epicer.
Come on 3 years later and it still rocks
One of the greatest love songs of all time. "I can't tell one from the other. Did I find you, or you find me?" Gosh, just so beautiful. ❤
Sing into my mouth, love me till my heart stops.
The insane string arrangements get me each time. It's superb.
No words to convey my love for this song or David Byrne.
This is brilliant, got my scar on my leg going to see talking heads Edinburgh. Last night of the festival, pissing with rain, sliced my calf on a chipped glass table, no taxi so had to get an ambulance to hospital asked them to stitch very quickly as going to see talking heads. Stitched, sorted made the gig.
The most beautiful song ever. Simply wonderful!
gets me as well
There's something about it, brings a smile to my face....
this version is brilliant can listen over and over
Love me till my heart stops, love me till I'm dead
home, home is where i want to be, pick me up 'an turn me round....
i listen to and watch this at least once a week. watching such skilled people is pure pleasure
me too!
Hard to a pick a favorite. Why bother. I could gush and gush. Just so good!
Amelia Channer Facts!!!
I love the drums on this
ruclips.net/video/usdHtogSw-w/видео.html
My hubby n my “first dance” at our wedding. Perfect song. 30 years later we still love this song.
He's a genius, knows how to entertain with sight and sound. I like to watch him walk back and forth on stage or run in place. COOL
He’s a true eccentric.
Always makes me feel joyful and David Byrne always make me feel its OK to be different!
Great band having fun
Um, I'm sorry, but this is perfect music making. Everything about it. It's a stellar performance by a genius working with talented musician. I cannot love this any more than I do. I love this guy!
He still has it!!! yes unique artist this song takes me back to some good times my youth love it xoxo
Love Love Love Such great memories 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Effortlessly spectacular performance
The strings and marimba really add a lot to this. Wonderful new(er) arrangement of a really good song.
Long way from the stage at CBGBs.
I ❤️ David.
This arrangement is so lovely.
One of my favorite songs. I love the strings added. I love it when David takes music and improves on it. He certainly improved this song for me. I loved the song to begin with then this version turned my head again. ❤🌼😍
Loved this back in the day and this version is even better. Some music just gets better with time.
this is my fave version of this song ❤
come on we all want original talking heads back together & in the studio & a tour!!! come on please
Never gets old....Just amaizing!
A brilliant obscure performer who created his own genre of modern music
WOW unreal. He and all band members are INCREDIBLE. LOVE HIM.
Genius. Knows what people want.
this version, amazing
i need to record myself singing this, so it can be played in my funeral. Those lyrics are just perfect...
I think this is the best version of this number, period !
the harmonizing of lead n back up vocals is insane,,,am i the only one that hears this?
Beautiful!
Heard this again after many years on a trip to Barcelona in May this year in a market. The stall holder was just playing it, I went over s we ended up dancing to it for 5 minutes including a repeat. Played it everyday since in between tears as it is quite possible one of the most beautiful songs ever made.
100% agreement.
