This is my favorite heads song. This was mine and my beautiful wife for 40 years song. Every word in this song hits the heart. My wife died last year and the words are so true.
Sorry for your loss. I had a loss much like that, perhaps worse. If she had died, it would have been better. I would have had closure. But the way she chose it, I had neither. At least she died while still loving you.
Hi Bob, my beautiful wife of 35 years went for a "routine surgery" and was rendered without speech or mobility due to admitted medical negligence. I am now her sole carer and although it is hard, I know that this still is the place. God bless you. Kevin xxx
My favourite song of all time. Applicable to any event or milestone in life. Could be foreshadowing the happiest of beginnings. Or the saddest of endings. Truly genius.
Sanity is seeing the importance of these words.. This movie hit me in my gut.. I had to watch the movie this was cut from twice right off.. ten times since.. Brilliant.
The notes are whimsy...the words are full of the anxiety and bliss that envelopes the soul when love finds you...they swirl together in a dance that makes you want to cry. Sublime.
David Byrne is one of the finest groundbreaking original musicians of the last 50 years. He's humble magnificent and ever changing. He's the American Bowie. And god do I love him.❤
Agreed. My holy trinity of TH songs is this, Nothing But Flowers, and Road to Nowhere (OK, add Girlfriend is Better and a bunch more too), but this is the music of the spheres. Some of String Cheese's versions are transcendental and now they are doing Nothing too. Life can be such a blessing...
@@stickykitty what's with this gangster nonsense, have you watched the mans performance on later with Jools Holand. out standing. those strings really come to life and the man's movement is just as mad as he ever was, or is that just the same as it ever was.
I truly believe you will not find one single person on this planet who will not love this song. If there is one out there, then I'm afraid he or she will need to take a big mirror to the bottom of their garden and have a huge word with themselves. Thank you and goodnight.
David Byrne on this song: "That's a love song made up almost completely of non sequiturs, phrases that may have a strong emotional resonance but don't have any narrative qualities. It's a real honest kind of love song. I don't think I've ever done a real love song before. Mine always had a sort of reservation, or a twist. I tried to write one that wasn't corny, that didn't sound stupid or lame the way many do"
Thank you for posting this, it’s the first time I’ve read David’s opinion/interpretation of the lyrics and I’m glad he wasn’t being ironically negative about love and relationships. I’ve always believed this song perfectly encapsulates the crests and troughs of love and life, and how it can sometimes be so hard but ultimately it’s worth the fight because the good far outweighs the bad. It’s a beautiful song and I’m glad he meant it as so.
Every time I listen, I get an unnatural compulsion to stay up for numerous days straight fuelled only by coffee, making industrial quantities of Kimchi... Hauntingly beautiful...
I saw Talking Heads in 1983...the Speaking in Tongues Tour that became "Stop Making Sense". To this day...and I have seen alot of live music since then...it's one of the greatest concerts that I have ever been to.
I was in the crowd as a extra when they filmed this. Honestly, I had no idea Sean Penn was in the crowd as well. It was a long day if take after take after take. Fun regardless of who was there :)
Just pure awesomeness and joy of love. David Byrne one of the greatest musical prophets of our times. Huge fan since the first time his music hit me like a ton of bricks back in 1980. 🙏❤️💯😇 🎼
Their songs were the best songs for 80s film's soundtrack, especially the ending credits of a action/adventure film. Their songs were really good wrap up songs to make the film feel like it'll go on forever and makes you wanna rewatch it.
What is this???? I have never seen this video before. Seriously I have been playing this song/ melody for more than 20 years. The simple, naive melody is exactly the internal pulse I feel in my body. I believe we all have an internal rhythm and this song IS MINE. It is my background music, my ear worm, my answering machine background music. and my comfortable place.
This scene features in the film "This must be the place" starring Sean Penn. There's an extended version of the film on the blu ray which features an even longer version of this scene. I found this to be the best scene in the film.
yeah i bounce around a lot..but every time ..i mean every time i end the night with this soo i guess i must be having fun ..and i guess this is my favorite song
Beautiful words! I feel the same way about this song! I even have dreams with it, like the soundtrack of my mind, I hope to feel the same 20 years later just like you! Im on my twenties, so yey!!
This song wasn't my favorite as a kid. I thought it was so sweet, sickly so. So mellow and kind in tone; even though I knew the words I didn't know what they meant. When I got older, when I experienced a little bit of heartbreak and love, oh... Oh God when I heard it again I wept. My initial impression was true, but there's just a mix of sadness, of disappointment and resignation mixed in there. A divine heaven or a miserable outcome, a genuine yet unexpected connection that may or may not be permenant. It all hit me and I cried like a child, it became my favorite. This moment in this film captures that perfectly. The stage, the performance, even the crowd getting into the beat and singing along. And then right in the back is the musician, someone who not only hears the lyrics but understands their meaning, and he's crying. This film is heartbreaking but so very good.
Tears flowing down my cheeks watching this after one year of Covid-19 lockdown; feeling just how much I miss the joy and happiness of being part of a crowd watching a band you love 😢❤️
My partner,THE, Love of my life died recently,(NOT of covid,but through the cost,covid has caused to EVERY one else who has been ill this last 12 months... I love you babe.. This is for June.)... First time in my life I've REALLY HOPED... There IS some sort of Heaven..? And this is playing....
28 años ! y recién descubro esta canción!! que maravilla, llevo exactamente 4 días escuchandola por lo menos 4 veces al día! Me gusta cuando se escucha al público! :))) ALEGRÏA!
I’m from Baltimore, David Byrne’s hometown, and somehow never heard this one until I found MGMT singing this early at their college (one of my favorite videos!). I’m thinking of this for my mother/groom dance! Love this orchestral version so much!
I wish I could have been an extra in that audience. This is one of the sweetest performances of this song I've ever seen. Love hearing everyone sing along.
This is my ‘Heads’ love song… my family. This is my family’s official national anthem. Whenever we’re together nothing is better. We played this song every day growing up. When we hear the song we stop, call each other. Tell everyone that ‘home’ is where I want to be… where I want to be!
I was so disappointed when David decided to stop singing. And with the endless sea of whatever people call music today. I'm so happy see his videos again.
Great Song and great overall direction of this performance. David Byrne's creativity has definitely not stopped after Stop Making Sense. Amazing stuff!
When I first heard Talking Heads in 1980 it blew me away with what they were doing , it made me become a massive David Byrne fan just so different to everything else that’s out there I swear he’s David Bowie’s brother

Great memories...riding am track along Hudson River to and fro New York, with my Sony player headphones on and bopping my head...to talking ....heads priceless
I always come back to THIS video of THIS song. I listen to it and it makes me excited to get married, excited to grow old and just be happy for today because wow this is a piece of heaven on earth.
This is my favorite heads song. This was mine and my beautiful wife for 40 years song. Every word in this song hits the heart. My wife died last year and the words are so true.
That's a really beautiful story. Music is the theme of our lives. I'm sorry for your loss.
Yes it a wonderful song and love the different versions as the one live in jools Holland especially
Sorry for your loss. I had a loss much like that, perhaps worse. If she had died, it would have been better. I would have had closure. But the way she chose it, I had neither. At least she died while still loving you.
Im sorry for your loss but glad you have that connection to such a great tune.
There’s something in this song, something you don’t understand, but can’t get enough of it. i call it perfection.
This is the song your puppy sings to you.
thats art
get over yourself.
This is a perfect song

I dream of a happy home, thank you Mr Byrne for keeping that dream alive
I wish we really had music today like before where people could really sing. What a blessing to have david
My favourite song of all time.
Applicable to any event or milestone in life.
Could be foreshadowing the happiest of beginnings.
Or the saddest of endings.
Truly genius.
This s da rite place
Legend
You have impeccable taste then my friend! Totally Agree!!
Am I crazy or is this the best song ever written?
It's sheer genius
then I must be crazy too, because I feel the same way
Sanity is seeing the importance of these words..
This movie hit me in my gut.. I had to watch the movie this was cut from twice right off.. ten times since..
Brilliant.
You are not crazy. I was thinking the exact same thing. Right before LCD Soundsystem Dance Yrself Clean..
yesssss
The notes are whimsy...the words are full of the anxiety and bliss that envelopes the soul when love finds you...they swirl together in a dance that makes you want to cry. Sublime.
Well put ! I'm 😂 now ! Why I don't really know
Poetically well said,,,💕👌
You, are a poet
I'm not crying, my eyeballs are sweating.
Amen.😊
David Byrne is one of the finest groundbreaking original musicians of the last 50 years. He's humble magnificent and ever changing. He's the American Bowie. And god do I love him.❤
Do you know someone named Brittany?
He's Scottish no
@@gideonrubyai1 Yeah, he's from Scotland
Bowie wishes he had half the talent Byrne has. Not even in the same league
David Bowie is dead and did quite well for himself.
I thank the parents of David Byrne for letting him be himself as a child and for the encouragement they gave him.
The song is totally built by the rhythm section, Chris and Tina.
Yes,he is courageous for being himself! Extremely Admirable! ❤😌
Possibly the most beautiful David Byrne and the Talking Heads song.
Agreed. My holy trinity of TH songs is this, Nothing But Flowers, and Road to Nowhere (OK, add Girlfriend is Better and a bunch more too), but this is the music of the spheres. Some of String Cheese's versions are transcendental and now they are doing Nothing too. Life can be such a blessing...

My wife and I were lucky enough to be at this Filming in Detroit. It was filmed and recorded live.
Hey, what year did you see this show?
How do you film and record something that's not live?
Always emotionally well when he sings "love me till my heart stops, love me till I'm dead"
What an absolutely perfect song. Anytime I remember this song exists I have to play it immediately and it always feels timeless

A completely unpretentious love song. It's beautiful.
fucking strange reply. like this song or the kid singing it in the movie! i like the song.
@Donald Peat Transcribed from Byrne's "Self Interview" extra feature on the DVD of the Talking Heads concert film "Stop Making Sense".
They told David when he first showed interest in music he would just didn't have a good singing voice.
He said ok and became a national treasure.
talking heads tunes now and then and this one, this vid = proof that time-travel exists
Every time I listen, I get an unnatural compulsion to stay up for numerous days straight fuelled only by coffee, making industrial quantities of Kimchi... Hauntingly beautiful...
Loved the way the crowd got in on the vocals. What I'd give to spend just a minute... There.

“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.” ― Leonardo da Vinci.
I have deeply loved a woman and after 35 years have absolute no understand of her what so ever!
David Byrne is a musical Genius!
This was my "first dance" song at my wedding in 2012 and I'm back in 2024, sobbing again (still happily married)
David Byrne is my spirit animal always.

It's from the movie This Must Be The Place by Paolo Sorrentino.

Janet Greenwell 🎶🎵OOoohh you got plenty of time.🎼 Home is where I want to be so I guess I'm already there. 👍😀

David is a genius. No matter how many times I watch him, I'm never let down.
Tears flowing down my cheeks watching this after one year of Covid-19 lockdown; feeling just how much I miss the joy and happiness of being part of a crowd watching a band you love 😢❤️
This song sounds damn amazing with the strings
The people in the audience just don't know how lucky they are.🥰
I agree! The best show I ever saw was David Byrne in the early 90s... so damn good that it still aches to remember.
This song is a total masterpiece. ❤
The closest warm feeling to love you'll ever feel
Sean nailed this role... I played the Building Organ in David's installation - it was a moment I'll never forget.
Brunette violinist to David's right her side to side and head nod dance moves are hypnotic :)
DAVID B. AND THEN HEADS, MY PEEPS! LORD KNOWS THEY SHOULD COME BACK. AMEN🦄🦁🖤
THANK YOU, WHO EVER YOU ARE IN THE TRUTH. GOD BLESS👊🖤👏
I'm so sad I lived a half of a century before I discovered this song!
so beautiful - never for money, always for love I feel 17 again.
Lesley Cooomer ❤❤❤
My favourite line in this Beautiful song.
One of the best Bands ever.. its songs are timeless.. and still will be playing in the future.
full body goose bumps. Had never heard this ver. I almost cried. Life was soooo good then in my youth
40年間変わらず好き!
I love the audience vocals at the end. Makes me keep coming back to this version
The song that, hopefully someone who cares enough, will play at my funeral. ❤
Talking heads are,for me,one of the best bend's ever,i listen them almost all my life....love them...
Still a great performer, but nothing will beat the on-stage sound, energy, synergy/chemistry that the Heads had.
My partner,THE, Love of my life died recently,(NOT of covid,but through the cost,covid has caused to EVERY one else who has been ill this last 12 months... I love you babe.. This is for June.)... First time in my life I've REALLY HOPED... There IS some sort of Heaven..? And this is playing....
I lost my dad last July and I felt that there's got to be some sort of heaven because there is no way this is it.
This sort of music is the genesis of pure genius! David Byrne is a legend!!
Everyone singing together at the end is making me emotional 😅 ohh the power of music
The strings are a nice touch. "You have a face with a view". Goodnight David!
28 años ! y recién descubro esta canción!! que maravilla, llevo exactamente 4 días escuchandola por lo menos 4 veces al día! Me gusta cuando se escucha al público! :))) ALEGRÏA!

I wish I could have been an extra in that audience. This is one of the sweetest performances of this song I've ever seen. Love hearing everyone sing along.
Bit scary if you saw Sean Penn, though....
From a cinematography standpoint that is so cool.
directed by paolo sorrentino ;)
Four and half minutes of sheer joy.
Saw the great man twice last year Manchester and Nottingham on his American utopia tour and he is still simply the best I've ever seen or heard
This is my ‘Heads’ love song… my family. This is my family’s official national anthem. Whenever we’re together nothing is better. We played this song every day growing up. When we hear the song we stop, call each other. Tell everyone that ‘home’ is where I want to be… where I want to be!
Talking Heads/David Byrne. I’ve not heard this song before. I’m really enjoying listening to this music. A very talented group.
Lyrics are great too.
One of many classics i heard it first with the Tom Tom club &David Byrne stop maken sense BRILLANT artist 💨💨💨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A good find for you then..
I love this song!
I was so disappointed when David decided to stop singing. And with the endless sea of whatever people call music today. I'm so happy see his videos again.
What a beautiful film. Sean Penn. Francis McDormand, and a killer secondary cast. See it. THIS MUST BE THE PLACE.
What a marvellous scene, the ph composition is amazing combined with such a piece of art like this song!!
Great Song and great overall direction of this performance. David Byrne's creativity has definitely not stopped after Stop Making Sense. Amazing stuff!
I'm so glad we still have David.
When I first heard Talking Heads in 1980 it blew me away with what they were doing , it made me become a massive David Byrne fan just so different to everything else that’s out there I swear he’s David Bowie’s brother
I'am laughing because it#s true
Ab Fab! Thank you Kilgore Trout. I think if David Byrne were the President, the world would be a much better place... Bless Talking Heads
Smoked it...plain smoked it... One of the greatest groups evah!
I'm sorry for your loss
i always come back here to watch this masterpiece, timeless
Holy shit this song is amazing! How have I missed it all these years?!?!
My favourite song! And I'm liking this orchestral version
What orchestra? There’s just a few violins and a cello
@@devilruski my sincere apologies... Smart arse!
Love this Brilliance of Human evolution..
This song has made me so happy and made me look at the sad times as nothing more as memory. I hope this finds you. It gets better.

Maybe the most beautiful thing I ever saw!
+Patrick Faulkner you may well be right !!
Patrick Faulkner right!?!?
Patrick Faulkner Sean Penn Sissorhand is beautiful
Creative. David Byrne truly is an artist
Always enjoy the trip his music takes us on ... and the videos.
this must be the place .... I want to go home; back to the 80's. One of my favorite Talking Head songs. EVAAAA !!!!
Made me cry (again) :) Will be one of my favourite movies of all time!
You can always tell the original members. No one else can make a subtle move look so good
So awesome. Love the opening. And David Byrne looks fantastic. The Talking Heads is still one of my favorite bands.
David Byrne pure genius!
tears to my eyes every time
Will Douglas me too
Me too
I always come back to THIS video of THIS song. I listen to it and it makes me excited to get married, excited to grow old and just be happy for today because wow this is a piece of heaven on earth.
Makes me feel so good, just get that fuzzy feeling when David does his stuff.
I saw the movie yesterday, and I liked very good. This scene in it, for me, looks like as a resume: a contemplative art in another art.
That just took my favorite song and made it ten times better. I literally just caught the Holy Ghost!!
Heard this for the first time when my Californian girlfriend played it to me. Jesus I loved this track...!
Holy frick... that is Sean Penn.
I have loved this song ever since I was in my twenties. I love the beat and it always makes me feel good.
Its hard to say what my favorite Talking Heads song is they have so many amazing tunes. One of the greatest bands ever
Necesito escuchar esta versión todos los días de mi vida.
