Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Verse 2]
And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Bridge]
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
[Verse 3]
Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Verse 4]
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God, what have I done?"
[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
[Outro]
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (I couldn't get no rest)
Same as it ever was, hey let's all twist our thumbs
Here comes the twister
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

I'm looking for a specific comment someone left on here saying they tried to do this dance in a nightclub and got kicked out, it makes me laugh every time.
I saw it too
lmao same

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cuz UA-cam comment section sorting is shit.
It’s my mental breakdown *I* get to choose the music
Lmao
This fuels me
Inspiration
Brilliant

*"Look, Dad!!. He dances like you. Its like hes getting tazed but refuses to give up."*

Haha 😂 I shall be stealing this saying.
@@ChrisJS1987ditto 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
never quit dancing, no matter how bad you are
its better than being a coward
😂 what!?
😂 my daughter asked if I had to pee!!!! 😂
as I get older in life I find myself becoming more and more acquainted with the phrase "My god, what have I done"
Yes! I find myself saying MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE EVERY DAY! lol
I saw a post once that was basically "you can tell how hard someone's going through it by how hard they sing 'i sometimes wish I'd never been born at all' in bohemian rhapsody," and that's the EXACT feeling I experience for "my god, what have I done"
lol it's daily life after 30
They add up, don't they?
I relate to "And you may find yourself."
Dude, this edible ain’t shi-

I discovered this song when I was on edibles lol
@@swagmaster6973 If you aren’t making that up, it must have been quite the experience!
@@adamj1367 dead serious, I had heard their music plenty of times but never this song even though it's their most popular. I love it though
*LET THE WATER HOLD ME DOWN*
I'm high on medical mamajuana for severe nerve damage and I'm laughing my ass off !!!
Hearing this play in a supermarket was the most surreal thing I've experienced in a long time.
I kinda wish I would've experienced that.
~~forgot to type "wish" because I'm an idiot~~
Nice pfp
They play it regularly at my store, as well as Queen, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Tears for Fears, ABBA, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and other wildly influential artists for some reason
Update: they also play Blue Monday
@Buick GSX
what kind of grocery store do y'all _HAVE_ 😭😭😭
bruhh all the stores where I live play crap like katy perry or justin bieber 😔
I was at a Penny's store shopping for some nice work clothes. I have to go to the big and tall section. My son was with me in his stroller. I stopped by the suit jackets and this song started playing in the store. I put on a large Shaquille O'Neil brand jacket and started dancing like David Byrne. Made my son crack up and my wife embarrassed.
keep doing it, in the car, at home, on your lawn, just don't stop doing it because of what others think. great songs with great dances deserved to be sung and danced to!
Well done.
Luv it!!!!🎶
Perfect!
😂😂
Tina Waymouth is one of the meanest, funkiest and most badass bassist in history. Those baselines are hypnotizing and make you want to move.
Yeah mad how she didn't want to be a bassist at first. She much talented..
Abouslty
In this song, the bassline is quite literally 2 notes played in the same exact phrase, unchanging, for the duration of the entire song. lol.
Funny thing is I think she’s seriously overrated.

Great comment right here.
You can only do this dance to THIS song.....imagine a whole club of ppl on the dance floor doing this?
"Somebody call an exorcist! They are all possessed!"
That's what the dance floor was than in the 80ies. Man, why did I ever go home from there.
yeah and all wearing the same black suit

Nah. I’m kinda feelin’ it.
I could never understand why people left the dance floor whenever I got up to dance. After all I learnt everything from David Byrne.
lmao
because they did The Great Curve afterwards and we got fucking crazy for that one
That's fukn brilliant mate,

Most impressive thing about this video is this man’s glasses never moving from his face

@@thebadash4165 i see

Reminds me of my belated brother Lloyd (Rocky) Woodard. I was just a kid when he joined me, mom, my other brother and step dad on the beach back in the early 80's. He had this small portable radio with a cassette and he played this song over and over. This is an anthem to my brother, Rocky - brings me so much happiness when I hear this song because it reminds me of him. He was part of an African dance troupe and he played all of the percussions and kalimba. I understand his appreciation of this song - it has an African under-beat.
Let's say, hypothetically, for the sake of the argument, that this IS my beautiful house, and this IS my beautiful wife.
In that hypothetical, you would have to establish an inner dialogue to determine the events that brought you to that place and time.

I love this comment ❤❤❤

I haven't heard this song in 40 years!
Complete Contemporary Art GENIUS----->DAVID BYRNE was a man way ahead of of his time doing this video. The coregarpahy cannot be compared. I was born in 1984, knowing this came out in 1980, but this damned masterpiece will not get through to the next generation.
The choreographer was Toni Basil, a very talented woman.
My grandfather went to high school with him
According to him, he was always this...David Byrne like.
When I graduated from high school, the Principal tracked down my folks and asked them if they had anymore kids he should know about. That's when they learned I'd been on restriction for the last three weeks. Hey, old enough to do what you want and young enough to get away with it? That only happens once in your life. High School is there for a reason. Kick ass!
so, would you say his whole life was... the same as it ever was?
@@andyk5467 I believe he has spoken about his experience with Aspergers, I dont remember for sure though.

That suit is somehow too big and too small for him at the same time

So it fits???

This is definitely one of those videos that if you showed it to a poor Victorian era child they would disintegrate on the spot
What did he mean by this?
@@garybusey9941 he meant that this is so wholly separated from anything comprehensible from an 1800s person's perspective, as they couldn't even wrap their head around a single concept in this incredibly wild video
@@toasternuke343
I mean wouldn’t that apply to any video? Could you imagine showing a mukbang video to a child from America during the industrial revolution?

Good analogy because the song is about being an NPC in your own life!!!!
Dave Byrne’s antics used to crack me up when I was a teenager.
This song is so freaking weird, and so brilliant at the same time!
These comments are some shaite too, very entertaining
i remember a discussion a long time ago about how David Byrne in the foreground is imperfectly trying to mimic the david byrnes in the background. he is trying to follow along but just doesn't have a hang of the moves. like he's trying to imitate successful businessmen but failing to do so.
i still want to find this background to use in my pc
That actually makes a lot of sense
Huh. But then I went back and realized when he's immitating african muslims and talking about living in a shack, he actually performed those moves pretty well, like they were natural. And in fact defaulted to them in the first 'immitating the men on the background' sequence.
... Is this song actually brilliant?
Hes also really sweaty
I thought he was trying to imitate some kind of church preacher
I don't know what emotion is portrayed here but I've definitely felt it before
Some combination of regret, acceptance, and going along with the absurdity of Life.
It’s really complicated but I can feel it. It’s really hard to explain
Lust

David Byrne IS A MUSICIAN....
@Unojhiir0 doesnt sound like a terrible Saturday nighf
What do you mean "looks like".
That's exactly what he's doing, he was playing a demented preacher
I lived through the 80s as a child and had fun in new wave, punk, fast forward to the 90s, grunge rock, metal, and yet found myself irresistibly recycling back to Talking Heads in the mid 90s and appreciating the art of their music more than anything I had yet sampled, and by the time I was almost finished with high school in 1995, I was dressing like David Byrne at school when everyone loved “Live” and “Bush” and “Gin Blossoms” and wore flannels and I refused it all because none would ever touch what Talking Heads touched. 🎉
I still wear their t shirt to this day and say no one from that era of music, not even the Cure, who I love, touched the breakthroughs in sound that they did, and they became something altogether different than the genre of new wave, or post punk, but found their own and no one would ever join them and never will.
This is the source of ENA's movements to all that don't know.

Talking Heads were way ahead of their time. It's hard to believe that this song was released in 1980. A timeless masterpiece.
And I have loved it ever since. 67 years old. A masterpiece. Starred in a movie with Tom Hanks as the theme song - A Hologram for a King. Highly appropriate and meaningful.

Happy 73rd Birthday Charton Christopher Frantz May 8, 1951.. Fort Campbell, Kentucky..
The Talking Heads were this really fantastic band that came out of the whole N.Y.C. C.B.G.B.'s scene.
It took time but they caught fire and then everyone was burning down the house..
Fun fact: The choreographer for this video (yes, it was actually meticulously choregraphed) was Toni "Oh Mickey you're so fine" Basil. She had a career as a dancer and choreographer going back to the early sixties, and was good friends with David Byrne, David Bowie, and a whole slew of legends besides. After her one hit in the music biz, she happily went back to dancing and choreographing full-time. She still moves like a pro even in her golden years... Yes, that was a Bowie pun. I apologize for nothing.
That’s actually a pretty cool fact, I wouldn’t have guessed
Considering how much she's done during her career (it's absolutely insane), this shouldn't come as a shock.
Yep, she has done a ton of work behind the scenes for decades.
I always liked the parody oh Ricky you're so fine by Weird Al hey Lucy

"You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack" is undoubtedly one of the greatest opening lyrics to a song ever. Right up there with "Saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand"

"She put on her boxing gloves and went to sleep" - the song Glory from Television
"That there, that's not me"
Right up there with: “… Somewhere in a lonely hotel room, a guys starting to realize that eternal fate has turned its back on him… it’s 2am…”
"bitch I'm back out my coma" - ye
You may ask yourself... "WTF did I just watch?"
You may say to yourself... "I actually kinda liked it."
Yes
My God, what have I done?
I love this song...
BEST COMMENT
Someone pin this it’s important

When your main character finish the story and there's nothing more to do
100% ACCURATE
@@muhammadazim3374 well, should said person go out and shop for shoes? Get real. No shoe stores. There's a reason for that. I don't like it either, Honey. ( Total lie )
@@jamesgilmore7955 what?
@@insightfulinsight7013 spend an ENTIRE day shopping for shoes, and settle for two pairs of (matching) sandals at 40$ apiece. I could gotten that for half just by taking her to Papa Felipe's. Great enchiladas! Go mild with the sauce, when they Hot they really mean it. Just saying. Goat's milk is 2$ a glass. You'll pay it.
@@insightfulinsight7013 i think he’s writing a song based on this one
That episode of Billy and Mandy when Grim has a nightmare and Billy yells "Same as it ever was! Same as it ever was!"
This is not me beautiful house!
This is not me beautiful wife!

Thank You Dave,
Thank You Boys,

This may be the greatest music video ever made.
Gordon doesn't need to hear all this. He's a highly trained professional.

And you may find yourself angrily dancing to this song at 1:30 AM.
Oddly specific mate
Well, midnight but yea how'd you know
1:24 AM, Actually.
Angrily dancing? ☠️
yes.
This is the first hit of Talking heads to really have that New Wave 'sound'..
What a chorus!
This is not the full version. it is missing the really awesome break in the middle. "Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing"
I once heard this song on a midnight run to Daytona to watch the 500. At 1 am this song came on while I was considering pulling over to a hotel to sleep and hit the road early that morning. But this song fucked me up so badly that I stayed on the road wide awake for the next 2 hours until I made it to my AirBNB in Orlando. I'll never forget this damn song.
Good story
Brilliant mate
Hey gen z. 1979. God bless.
I thought you were relating an experience from the 80s until I see the word AirBnB
LOL.
I swear, the budget for this song was 99% cocaine
Lmao
Same as it ever was
When I first saw this.. "what in tarnation is he doing? Lmao..." then it became a meme
My friends treat this as a shitpost meme.
