  • The name of this song is Heaven
    (You might also like to watch my clip with lyrics for Memories Can't Wait: • Talking Heads - Memor... )
    From the third album of Talking Heads: Fear of music, 1979
    Written by David Byrne and Jerry Harrison
    Fear of Music is produced by Brian Eno, Talking Heads
    Talking Heads were an American new wave and avant-garde band formed in 1975 in New York City and active until 1991. The band comprised David Byrne (lead vocals and guitar), Chris Frantz (drums and backing vocals), Tina Weymouth (bass and backing vocals) and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals)
    This clip boosts several pictures of Nathan Coley's lluminated text sculpture that spells out the words "Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens"

    Lyrics:
    Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
    The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.
    The band in Heaven plays my favorite song.
    They play it once again, they play it all night long.
    Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
    Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
    There is a party, everyone is there.
    Everyone will leave at exactly the same time.
    Its hard to imagine that nothing at all
    could be so exciting, and so much fun.
    Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
    Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
    When this kiss is over it will start again.
    It will not be any different, it will be exactly
    the same.
    It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
    could be so exciting, could be so much fun.
    Heaven is a place where nothing every happens.
    Heaven is a place where nothing every happens.

    In my town, there wasn't a bar named heaven. But we did have a place called DV8 and The Zephyr Club that everyone went to and there were something did happen occasionally with cold bands performing. This has been and will always be a favorite.

    I like the line about the party everyone leaves at the same time. It demonstrates that the reasons people leave parties early don't happen there. And also the reasons people leave later.
    No fights
    No spiked drinks
    No getting so shit faced you pass out on a stranger's roof
    The vibes at the party are perfect

    Heaven is stillness is silence is is.
    The party is your life form what you do all your thoughts all other peoples thoughts about you, yours and their perceptions ideas moaning noise thinking thinking thinking.
    Heaven is a place where you don't think and where you STOP MAKING SENSE breathe in and watch the other world float by choosing when you decide to engage not your 24/7 365 running after your mind.
    Heaven is at hand

    This song could possibly be inspired by David Bowie's "Heroes". The same rhythm, the same kind of transition and tone of the chorus, the same mood and the same absurdist and conflicted lyrics.

      If you listen closely, David sings, "Heaven is a place, a place where nothing NEVER happens". Note the double negative. He believes something is happening all the time in Heaven.

    I like Talking Heads except for this atheist song. I think I know why Byrne became an atheist. It is because one of his parents was Catholic and one was Protestant and that would obviously lead to a lot of arguments and he had enough of it and wanted nothing to do with Christianity in general because it caused his parents to fight so much. Just my theory. I could be wrong but the Catholic and Protestant thing is true and Presbyterianism is big in Scotland and they are Calvinists and if you know anything about Calvinists, they are historically very anti-Catholics. I almost lost my faith because of Calvinists.
