Just back from Stop Making Sense the movie, it struck me how courageous David Byrne is. He does his dance and sings his lyrics in a way that only he can. He does it with confidence that conveys "you be you" and it works. He was and is a great inspiration. Hearing Lorde's maturity, curiosity and humility is very enjoyable. This interview reminded me how talented she is and I need to go listen to her music. Thank you to both for doing this interview.
Oh, it had to be much longer than that. 41 minutes was only how long the final cut was, they had to be in there shooting for at least 3 hours. And I'm sure there were in-between sections of the day where he had put them back on when the camera was off
@@glennoc8585He’s Autistic and it totally makes sense! In a lot of his interviews he says he’s always been incredibly anxious and socially anxious and has struggles with socializing, especially when he was younger and really blowing up in fame. I’m also Autistic and so many of his gestures, his cadence and eye contact are all things I do as well. ❤😊
This is how a mature, intelligent and totally engaging conversation should happen between the older and younger generation of rock artists should look like and sound like! Lesson to the rock world all over!
Indeed its very refreshing and clear hopefully we hear and see more support and care from other artists all the twitter beefs and lives on the gram between some artists now is so cringe.

Watching these two made me think about elegance. Elegance is more complex and interesting than beauty. Beauty likes the sunshine and warm breezes. It tends to fade on stormy days. Not elegance, it is there all the time - often in the background and never too loud. Elegance listens and over whelms you quietly. Elegance is on your mind the next day and the following day, and all days you care to remember.
Love both David Byrne and Lorde. Got to see them do American Utopia on Broadway and the Melodrama Tour respectively. Great to see them chat for 40 minutes, Rolling Stone!
How poetic that a couple years after this interview, Lorde covered the same song she mentioned here that influenced her as a young and upcoming artist 🖤
18:18 - Same thing happens to me. Some people, who are "geniuses' kinda force others to LIKE a specific artist or song just because it's "Iconic". Sometimes, we just don't vibe, no matter how great the artist can be. It's amazing that she spoke about it because I feel the same way, sometimes I feel forced to like an artist. We should stay true to what really speaks to us.
@@_b_e_a_n_s_ I think many people would be surprised about things that speak to them or that they like if they were to actually give things a fair chance. I didnt initially like the majority of my favourite music when listening the first 2 times
@@antonkjellberg2897 If I don't like an artist or their music is usually because listen to their music first. People can choose to not be inspired or influenced by someone.
I love this interview they are both musicians, so the questions have a lot of depth. I love the way they are in awe of each other. David looks up shyly at Lorde, older musicians admire younger musicians who are original and brave, which Lorde is. Lorde looks like she wants to go "OMG I'm with David Brynes !"
Yes, absolutely music is so much more ingrained in our nervous systems than any theater experience or movie! Probably because we listen to it over and over, overtime! So yes it's wonderful when you play your old music. And yesssssss I love to listen to the new music too. Gotta stay relevant? Thank you so much thank you so much thank you so much.
i loved it, nothing forced but David at first looked very uncomfortable then gradually you can see he started to enjoy the interview and relaxed. This was great
David Byrne is one of those people that transformed and continues to, so many different things within the art spheres that future generations will be in debt to him greatly. Talking Heads was a beyond brilliant band and Byrne is without a doubt a creative visionary.
@@graemehenderson1743 My answer was nothing other than a “no” and you turn that into something about being a misogynist who is scared of girls! Wow. You must be a terribly happy person. I’m going to go to the kitchen and tell my wife and my daughter that some simpy boy on the internet called me a misogynist for not agreeing with him that Lorde is on the same level as David Byrne! You just made our night with your ridiculous comment. By the way, I’m going to deduce by your name that you are a boy. Grow up kid.
I not such a big fan of Lorde's music but I have seen a few interviews and she struck me as someone ahead of their time. Not so much that her music is but that she has a musical wisdom and insight of someone that is 20 years older. Truly an extraordinary woman and a kick ass conversation. 💖💖💖💖
I'm 49 so David is my era but I absolutely adore and respect Lorde. She is such an inspiration to young, female artists that you don't need to conform to the "music industry standard" for young female artists. She is such an talented and original, free spirit.
Byrne is so gracious and humble here. Seems like he`s achieved a lot of growth since his Talking Heads days where ego and hubris reportedly got in the way of both his own success and the survival of the band. Really showcases the value of experience.
Not at all what happened. He found growth and the band got in the way. And he'd been there and done that and did not want to repeat any of his past works with them. Time to move on.
How cool to put these 2 together! 2 really original artists from different times. I remember at school in the '70s hearing Talking Heads and I felt this is awkward uncomfortable music but it suits me. 40 years later I realized I have David Byrne and I bother have Aspergers.
After being a Lorde fan for years and years, and as a neurodivergent person myself, I'm pretty sure she's also autistic, or at least she has some kind of spicy brain-what with the synesthesia and sensitivity-and that's why I loved watching this interview. It reminds me of myself and my friends!
My monkey brain kept trying to drag me off and really had to focus to get through this, but it was well worth it. Just think, one day an elder Lorde may sit just like this with a young brilliant artist who hasn't been born yet
Wonderful and i loved the reference to cooking and music as alchemy-i’m not a musician but i love to cook-it requires the same amount of consideration to nuance…💕
5:00 On that note, I remember one of the radio stations I was listening to tried to play a dance remix of the song. I think the minimalist song was more influential to other artists than any remix or more polished version could have been.
Great conversation. Wish David would’ve mentioned his collaboration with St. Vincent though-What a mesh of unusual artistic tastes and personalities! Genius.
I saw Stop Making Sense in New Zealand and I think that may have been one of the first times they did it. It was the headliner of a pretty good music festival, which had Simple Minds and the Pretenders (and Chrissy Hind and Jim Kerr met and later got married). It was years before Lorde was born.

Yes , he is a courageous individual, he's overcome his awkwardness in the best possible way...and inspired millions of people probably.
He was high on drugs then
'You and Mitski should do a song." I've already gasped so much in this interview and then there's that David Byrne x Mitski collab 😢
I almost fell out of my chair when he said that
Yes. I love mitski. She's brilliant.
This was such a wholesome interview! It felt a grandad and a granddaughter talk to each other. It was lovely!
Aw come on David's not *that* old
@@omegafilming he’s 70 and she’s 25. He definitely is old enough to be her grandpa.
And yet there was a clear mutual respect and an air of equality between them.

David Byrne really held his glasses in his hands for 41 minutes straight. I could not handle that without fidgeting. Living legend.
Oh, it had to be much longer than that. 41 minutes was only how long the final cut was, they had to be in there shooting for at least 3 hours. And I'm sure there were in-between sections of the day where he had put them back on when the camera was off
He didn't blink for a minute and a half the glass handling makes sense.

I can hardly think of a more apt pairing, one each, for the other. Inspired and what a treat for us fans of both.

Today is just such a good Friday 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
My two favourite songwriters and performers had such similar sounding names - David Bowie and David Byrne. They both appreciated Lorde and so do I!
They're both so socially awkward with each other & I absolutely love them for it
I am so here for this meeting of brilliant minds. Well done Rolling Stone 👏
INDEED!
Yes this is what I need
Lorde is absolutely lovely and David Byrne is a legend.
No surprise that their convo is much like their music: insightful, unpredictable, smart, quirky, with a dash of awkward 😄 💖

A truly elegant and wonderful korero between two originators who set out to make the greatest impact on musical lovers ✨ love n light 2 you both.
His song with mitski is sooo beautiful! It’s in the film “Everything Everywhere All at Once” favorite movie of 2022 and possibly of all time.
When I found out, My jaws was dropped 😮
“A paradise without a vocabulary” WOOWWWW. So true.
Shes so pretty! I love her smile!
Wow, Lorde is smart, thoughtful, and engaging.
Such a great idea, putting these two people in the same room. They are both so charming and intelligent... and talented of course!
Yes, absolutely music is so much more ingrained in our nervous systems than any theater experience or movie! Probably because we listen to it over and over, overtime! So yes it's wonderful when you play your old music. And yesssssss I love to listen to the new music too. Gotta stay relevant? Thank you so much thank you so much thank you so much.

“Reportedly” is the key. Maybe he just didn’t enjoy their company and knew what he’d rather be doing.
@Bruce Laidlaw then that makes him sound like a dick. He evidently was. He has grown up a bit more now which is good to see. Takes men a long time.
Not at all what happened. He found growth and the band got in the way. And he'd been there and done that and did not want to repeat any of his past works with them. Time to move on.
@@brucelaidlaw1441 The way Tina and Chris talk about him gives me bad vibes.
He is on the autistic spectrum. It wasn't so well understood then and I imagine that could have explained a lot of the trouble.
Imagine if Bowie was still here to have a conversation with Lorde
I’d love to see Bowie and Byrne have a conversation.
They did, it just wasn’t for our enjoyment
0:59 now she performed the song on Talking Heads tribute album
"It's okay. He's just one of the most iconic musicians ever. We don't need to get a professional to mic him. Just get the intern to do it..."
She is unbelievably amazing on every single level
My favorite artists 💜
Loved this, two legends
