Love it David , also saw you at Birmingham and again in Manchester this week, the new tour is a real knock out will be there again in November when you return to Birmingham uk your still the best by far , please don’t stop x
The album "Here Lies Love" is all about Imelda Marcos, this song is about one of her old friends seeing her after she becomes successful. It was turned into a musical.
It's about stealing the wealth of a country, one pair of shoes at a time. After the 2020 election, the White House china and silverware will have to be inventoried.
David got interested of Imelda Marcos fond and love for music, dance, disco, party, fun... not common for a political figure. This is where he got the idea. The title, was from Imelda's saying that her tomb be inscribe with "Here lies love". Why Imelda Marcos?... She's bigger than life.
You clearly don’t know how corrupt and greedy her and Ferdinand Sr were they stole 10 Billion American dollars worth of money from the Filipino people for their own gain while many were starving so far they have recovered 3 million sixty nine thousand eight hundred and sixty five Americans dollars you are delusional if you think she is a good person and I for one will be throwing a celebratory party when her rotten heartless greedy ass bites the dust
It's sad your art gets tainted with politics. I don't know if you're defending her thievery or condenming the role the US took part in, but I just wanted to hear a nice song.
I didn't know that she was that much of a sensation, wow.

The show is about what a criminal and narcissist she became. The whole show is making fun of her.

A criminal, a thief, a liar-the greatest narcissist of her country
I always loved David Byrne. This song doesn't suck, but it's not something I'd expect from him. Not too much to my liking.

Theres this thing called irony.
Also for context, I believe this was used in a musical. Not sure what the musical was ahout
@@WingMaster562the musical is an examination of Imelda's rise to power and the way that it corrupted her, set against some very danceable songs
