Imagine me, a seventy year old senior listening to Talking Heads; I love this song! It lifts my spirits, makes me tap my feet and nod my head.

No worries I’m damn near 60 and listening to it lol...good music can be enjoyed no matter how old we are....👍🏼
Well I'm 16 and I fucking love the talking heads.
You’re saying70 like it’s old or something? I’d be more concerned if you’re 70 and not listening to this.
@@chevyman1722 you're going to look back on this 20yrs from now,and say"oh,why didn't I realize that I was still young!
@@Mr102405 exactly!
70's the new 30.
My ex husband's (now late) grandmother never saw a music video in her life. This one happened to be on MTV at that moment I saw her. Tears were in her eyes. This video made her so happy. Her husband was physically abusive and controlled her every move. The ONLY one she saw before she passed. I still think about it today. He wasn't in the room. She saw this in it's entirety. I cry because I gave her happiness. So did this video. Much love. Thank you for reading.
Yes. Thank you for sharing this.
Connie Webster You're very welcome. She was the kindest elderly woman. The little things gave her joy. "And She Was" part of my life.
Heart wrenching and beautiful.
Wow wipes tears, happen to be missing Mom n me Gramzz'ss today Love ya Ladies ps Thank You PnL StLM
That is really sweet
David Byrne is a Living Genius, a musical treasure...
De do de vienes succionar forasart
I've always loved DB, but the rest of the band are no slouches either! Take Chris Frantz & Tina Weymouth--The Tom Tom Club, hello? That song, 'Genius of Love' WILL NOT DIE. And all their production work w/ The Marleys? I mean, come on!
Hi I recommend taking a listen to a Song which is called 'Where I Come From' By Robert Nix
HE TOtALLY IS!
absolutely, indeed; he was my passion during the 90`s music;🎼🎹🎤🎸🪕🥁🥁
I grew up in the 80's and I liked this band but it wasn't until I was older that I realized how brilliant that they were.
I liked them enough in the 80's as a teenager, but when I started dating a recent Art School graduate in 90 I learned how many layers there were to Byrne's work and i got a new appreciation for Talking Heads.
Same here.....
Me too
Exactly the same for me. 80s kid, kinda knew them but there was so much else going on. Big revival for me now. Keep on keeping on.
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Me, too.
David Byrne & CO --- just awesome!
Literally could not word that better! spot on
With you there bleep77
Decades come down to a few songs. This is one of them.
61 year old, and this song has new meaning: it's about my wife, multiple sclerosis has stripped away her ability to do anything but lift her right hand to her face, but her mind is still intact. She loves all that she senses: wind, bird song, sun's warmth, music, stories, humour, food and drink, being touched.
Just beautiful. Strength to you both.
My wife died back in July of this year. About 5 months before she died, she discovered the Talking Heads. Man she really loved this band!! I think she watched or listened to the Stop Making Sense album every day until she died.
Toby, I'm really sorry to hear that. A friend's wife was diagnosed with it, and she's 35 with two small daughters. Stay strong.
God bless you and your wife.
So hard to discern the plan or purpose, yet all the joys of life still hers deliberately.
What else do we have Toby as human incarnations? All of it everything to you both.
I am 65 years old and I can truly tell you the Talking Heads were the best and still are! Makes me Happy every time I hear them!
makes you feel young no matter what age!
I am 35 years old and it makes me Happy every time I hear them!
I know of somebody’s now late grandma who said the same thing!
I’m 16 (Turning 17 On April 4), & I Agree What You All Are Saying.
i am 43 years old. me too
Miss the 80s so much
Funny thing.....I was always a big fan of the talking Heads, and knew their songs well. When my Mom died, amid all the sadness....someone said "She is...I mean, "She Was'. So This song, and video came to mind! Bizarre I know....But I looked at it, and it all seemed to fit a woman, that died and moved up and on, and out in all directions'...liberated of her old body and life, moving into so much exciting and new. It just made me feel good and Happy for her.....like her soul was happy, and letting us know as much. Weird Eh?
I never listened to the words of this song too closely till I read your comment. Now I gotta tear in my eye thinking of my own mother who is gone. You nailed it. Awesome. Thank you.
That's a beautiful thought about your mom! It's very Interesting! It's probably the truth
The same goes for me man, I lost my mom last year, I think about her everyday. Thank you for giving me one more thing to remember her by:)
How sweet, bawling my eyes out...why do I feel I know your Mom??
@@debralynnneidenthal-davis7107 Thank you Debra....Who knows. : )
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..
I'm 24, both me and my Mrs love 80's music. I've always said I'm an old soul born too late. Will forever cherish this song and have it on my playlists
Child of the 80’s here, David’s vision and of the future was wildly correct. Now that we got it what are we gonna do with it? Maybe we’ll keep ruining it! Sorry we missed the warning signs too!
You both have great taste in music
I’m. 26 and the 80s brings me such a nostalgic wonderful happy feeling idk why and it all is so familiar it’s so weird lol but I love it can’t beat 80s music none can idc what generation were talking bout lol
Im 50 years old and I can say without hesitation that this band was tops in my childhood!
So much this 😃
I was in an abusive relationship and would creep out onto the trampoline in the dark in my pajamas. This song always reminded me of me and the joy I was able to feel in the middle of lunacy. Love it.
Hope your situation better now
Nasmate
I had a trampoline
Whats with all the abuse stories?
This song always reminds me of hypergamy and the milkman.
Not abuse, but lo-fidelity, nonetheless.
@@frankyw8803 😂😂
I'm sorry for what you had to endure. I hope that you're in a better situation now.
I'm 65, good music never gets to old.
The one band i truly regret never seeing live !!
Was in England in 1986, and my boyfriend and his band used to do this song to perfection when they played pubs and social clubs. Its still one of the songs on their list that i remember vividly. Inwas 25, am 61 now and this brings back awesome memories 😊
David Byrne was way ahead of his time. What he and Brian Eno did. Amazing music that still resonates today.
Word
Absolutely
Music still hasn't caught up to him yet.
Eno didn't produce this one, but did the three albums right before it.
This song was in the charts while I was captured in the John Radcliffe hospital in Feb 1986, I was pregnant and my baby wasn't growing properly because I couldn't stop dashing around , this tune saved my sanity, and even now in 2020 "and she was" relates to my baby girl who is 34 and beautiful ♥️
Lovely,I hope both of you stay healthy and happy.
I was sent to the Radcliffe in 2012,for an angiogram. There were banks of screens on either side of me so it was possible to see my heart and what they were doing in the procedure - only I crashed out asleep for most of it. I'd felt a bit nervous but they put me at ease and were very good to me all the way through. I was supposed to be collected and taken back to Milton Keynes Hospital,only between the two of them they forgot! So the Radcliffe put me up for the night in a good single room,like being in a 3 or 4 star hotel,with a nice view from several floors up over a leafy part of Oxford.
Right on! Stay righteous!
Beautiful
💖💖💖💖
yes I was working for the BBC in Shepards Bush going out a girl named marion
75 and loving it!
This reminds me of flying dreams that I used to have.
The most original band of all time.
Every person I know who loves The Talking Heads is weird.Including myself.
This song envokes such a strange sense of nolstalgia even if you haven't heard it before
Exactly! I've been listening 2 this song since early 80's. I love this band.
Well said about yourself
I see you!
You can tell at the end of the song they knew they had an amazing hit: cowbell clanging away, guitar riffs come in, silly and obnoxious vocals. They're having so much fun, and their music is pure joy.
one of their best for sure... I'd be honored if some Talking Heads fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of THIS MUST BE THE PLACE (re-interpreted as a ballad) ua-cam.com/video/ufAJixCpGZU/v-deo.html on my YT channel in tribute to one of the most unique & iconic bands of the late 70s/early 80s era. Raw acoustic with no digital editing. Peace and stay safe.
......AND SHE WAS!!!!! AWESOME!
More cowbell!
MORE cowbells
61 and remembering how great the music used to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't appreciate any 80's music in the 80's, and now I search it out!
This band is gonna be big! I just know it.
GB89 this album was from 1985...
Yuuki Goku You don't understand comedy
Yes, and I was born 1989, not yesterday.
GB89 👍
You know what Yuuki Goku, I'm sorry. I don't want to be that guy who's a jerk in the comments section. I think we can both agree this is a great song from a great band and shouldn't squabble with each other.
Got to see the David Byrne/Heads 2 times in Seattle Bumbershoot. During Burning down the house, David Byrne changes his wardrobe into a flaming suit of fire. Awesome! Long live the Heads!
Without the Talking Heads, '80's Mtv just wouldn't have been the same. It was like each of their song's videos was a trip inside the mind of David Byrne. Artistic expression at it's best, I believe..
This video still blows my mind. The colors all look washed out and similar grainy because they used old school photographs copy/pasted together and put through a Color Xerox Copier to create the images for what is basically a cartoon made with photographs. Crazy stuff.
This is the song that introduced me to the Talking Heads. I was 15. Every single one of their songs are different and to me that is amazing with their vast catalogue. Incredible talent here.
Mine was Road to Nowhere from the Little Monsters soundtrack...I think I was like 7 or so lol. It's still my favorite of theirs but this is a close second :)
Hey!
And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbor's house
Now she's starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes
The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
And she was
And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe and she's
Drifting this way and that
Not touching the ground at all and she's
Up above the yard
The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was
(Hey, hey)
The world was moving, she was floating above it and she was
(Hey, hey, hey)
She was proud about it, no doubt about it
She isn't sure about what she's done
No time to think about what to tell him
No time to think about what she's done and she was
(Hey hey, hey hey, hey)
And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions oh, oh oh
Hey, hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey hey!
Hey, hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey hey!
The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was
(Hey, woo hoo)
The world was moving, she was floating above it and she was
(Hey, hey)
Joining the world of missing persons and she was
Missing enough to feel all right and she was
And she was
And she was
And she was
And she was
And she was
Hey!
And she was!
And she was
And she was!
Thanks !!!
Thanks for posting
Thank you
Hi! can someone tell me the right sense of "and she was" while translating the lyrics into Spanish? thanks!
G C . . 🥳👍 , Thank - You ! 👏 Good Health to you & Yours !
This song never gets old.
My favorite TH song
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC!! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
0:05 you're asleep, the 'Hey!' wakes you up and you fall off the sofa along with a bowl of crisps.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Talking Heads. Two of my favourite bands
You'd probably like wild child!@SarahSmoothieface
David Byrne jump scare
My daughter, all of 8 years old use to dance around to this mid 1990s. Now she's a Mom with her own kids. I STILL see her moving to this . She can't help it 😆😆
Something about listening to old upbeat songs like this that just makes you feel like your a main character in your own little movie or something.
this band helped us understand the future we are living in.. they was ahead of the game..
There is a wonderful eccentricity and surrealism about Talking Heads, in their music and wonderful videos. This is such a cool idea... a story as well as a song, that a woman was able to just float off into space one day and become a missing person just because she felt like it; using the power of her mind. This kind of stop-motion animated video was very trendy in the 80's. Another in this style was "Big Time" by Peter Gabriel. I've always loved Talking Heads and David Byrne's edgy, slightly mad-sounding vocals. I've never forgotten seeing him dancing insanely on stage in that rubber yellow suit. So original and so entertaining. 😍
The world was moving and she was.
In a different direction, and I left. Pun intended.
I'm 53 now and everytime I hear this song it takes me back to being about 17 and all the stuff I had going on in my life at that time. Love it.
I'm the mabuti, I'm from the planet Zaboobia, and I agree with you.
I love this wonderful wonderfulness, thank you so much for this beautiful place in my mind!
I am sixty-nine and I've been rocking to the Talking Heads for,..forty years at least
Good god...this is almost 40 years old now.
Trying to get my mind off the plague right now. This is exactly what I needed. I'm smiling and tapping my feet.
me too
From Canada. all the best to you
Me too. 😂😂✌🥰
Me too.... all the best from Australia!
Isa virus...
Who else caught David Byrne's outstanding appearance on Saturday Night Live a couple months ago? This man is forever relevant... I'd be honored if some Talking Heads fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal UA-cam performance of THIS MUST BE THE PLACE (re-interpreted as a ballad) in tribute to one of the most unique & iconic bands of the late 70s/early 80s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe.
Billy Joel and David Byrne.. 2 biggest jerks in music who make it great. Go figure
@@franksbandi2869
Sorry, whut? I mean, I'm no fan of Joel's music but 'The Talking Heads' were and still are, amazing. Tina Weymouth is still playing bass and their songs still matter. I don't know any of them personally but from a musical standpoint, they are originals.
The world is moving she right there and she was
Seen David in a shopping cart in a parking lot in a rainstorm, giving a interview with MTV when this song came out. Over the top funny, I'm still gigglin... long live talking heads - I'll keep listening forever...
Their stuff is so amazingly fresh that I keep forgetting how old these songs are.
I was born in 1967 and the 80's were the best without a doubt. Peace 🚂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👌
Pure Fucking Genius.
I know this song is about a lady high af, but it makes me think of my gramma and my mom. RIP to the Ladies who helped make me a man.
The most original band of all time.
Same with the Beatles too
@dread true The B52's are alright, but compared to the Talking Heads, their songs are gimmicks.
The B52's songs are fun, Talking Heads however are on a whole other plane of existence, their songs were profound and meaningful.
Music is art. Art is subjective. What about this band makes them more original than any others? Your statement is an opinion with nothing to back it up. All musicians are influenced by someone else. What is deep and meaningful to you may mean absolutely nothing to someone else. There is no need to disparage or put someone else's favorite music down because it doesn't resonate with the same way with you as it does with them. To not realize or understand this is ignorance in it's purest form.
@dread true My statement was made to the original post by GRADSKA BOY "The most original band of all time." and the conversation that followed. I was in a way actually defending what you said about the B-52's to Luka Baljkas' reply stating that B-52's songs are "gimmicks" or tricks. When clearly the B-52's mean more to you than they mean to Luka. I said "art is subjective." art is subjective to the person who experiences it. That is not an opinion. That is a truth. I was not being arrogant and I displayed no personal tastes for any music at all. I asked what makes them more original than any other band because I am curious.
"Blah blah blah, voicing an opinion may hurt someone's feelings, so you better not have one and just shut up, blah blah blah."
That's you Higgins, in case you dont recognize yourself.
Do you realize how empty inside and boring you sound?
Still loving the music of the Talking Heads in 2022 Heading into 2023!😁❤
David Byrne for President.
This song never gets old. No, really, it doesn't! LULZ!
I'm 62 years young and still listen and dance to them crazy,just like them all good though 💯❤❤❤
I’m a carer at an old folks home, my favourite resident said this was his favourite song, it could be mine now too, I’ll always remember him now ☺️
And we "old folks" are still fans of the Talking Heads. We were there for David Byrne in the mid-80s and many of us are still here in our 80s still listening and thinking "When are we going to wake up this 2020 clusterflock?
The stop motion and cut out animation is my jam right here 🤩
its funny, before even watching the music video this is about what i imagine the music video to be in my head!
Three most under rated bands of the 80's - Talking Heads, The Cars, and Cheap Trick.
I heard a lot of all of them when I was a kid in the 80s! But maybe my parents just had good taste haha
@@oxfordpictionary underrated !!! first i heard of it ,,, by who
Fun fact I know all of those bands.
That title goes to NRBQ!
❤ absolute Bliss🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
seeing so many people comment on this music video with their own experiences is so amazing to me. this band united so many different people and this song still means a lot to them to this day. i love this song so much and always will!
Rising up above the Earth 🥰
This is going to be my exit song at my funeral. It's in my advanced directive.❤ It's my love letter to all who attend to let them know that I'm happy and I'll be waiting at "The Bridge" for them when it's their turn to go.
That's amazing one of my older sisters loved this song as do I she passed in 2000 and your comment just made me smile so thank you!!!
isn’t this song about LSD though
i’m so glad I was raised on talking heads
This was a cool graphic designs of this music video
Talking Heads makes more animated music videos
Imagine, all of us young'ns during this time are going to be listening to this, Sid Vicious, the Ramones, and punk in our retirement homes. Can't wait!!!
One of the best songs about tripping on acid ever written....so joyous.
Talking Heads was a GREAT band, consisting of four GREAT creative musicians lead by the indominatable incredible David Byrne! Miss them & their fun music!
If your kids ever ask you what the 1980s was like show them this video. 😂
God i miss this music so much.
here's a playlist of Olde 80's, I hope you enjoy. ua-cam.com/play/PLEAE7BC4A0FAC8E95.html
LOVE DAVID! GENIUS! ♡♡♡
Here we gather in the world of missing persons, doesn't it feel lovely?
Just makes ya wanna dance 💃. Even while you're laying down.
If you have a partner that's the best way to dance.
This song is very relatable. I was once, too.
I'm a Punk, New Wave and Post-Punk music fan
Hi I recommend a new indie song called 'Looking into the Mirror' by Robert Nix
This song was, is, and always will be a part of my inner soundtrack. ❤
Same with me. One of those songs I love so much. How are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe out there?
Gotta remember that, 'inner soundtrack'
Part of my 77 y.o. soundtrack, too, along with many other tunes by Byrne, Talking Heads, and Tom Tom Club. Numerous comments here reminded me of Greg Khin’s immortal hit from the same era, “The Breakup Song”: ua-cam.com/video/vjWd_7OzO84/v-deo.html. I hope that some you from later generations will hear this for the first time 🥰
ua-cam.com/video/vjWd_7OzO84/v-deo.html
Really great song.The power ending is brilliant.
Being a 68 Year Old Hispanic from San Antonio, Texas, I danced to this Song at Night Clubs during the New Wave Music of the 80's. What a mesmerizing, blissful, splendid moment in Time.

thanks for posting the lyrics
If and IF you have ever taken that gear you get the song.
Still better music than anything in the past 25 years. Talking Heads are legends
bang on there mate!
I wish my head would stop talking
A band that was a billion years ahead of there time🎸😜
Me and My Crush having a good day is what this sounds like! Peace!
Brilliant song and video
I was singing this song to myself when I was riding my bike today. It always makes me ride in long swooping curves while I belt it out. Thank you David Byrne.
...and she was singing this song.
and she was riding her bike.
and she was belting and swooping.
and she was thanking David Byrne.
...the world was moving and ....
The amount of music packed in the 80"s was phenomenal, 100 different genres played by great musicians, Talking heads to Prince, Ozzy Osbourne to the Bangles, George Michael to Guns and Roses. Tears for fears to Phil Collins Motorhead to Madonna.
And they all worked for it, Unlike today's instant star status without the hard work blood sweat and tear.
And Segovia, Yoyo Ma, Leon Kotke are a few more.
Needed major surgery on my ankle& leg- seeing this helps to rehabilitate - moving flexing & extending foot learning to walk again!- Thank You Talking Heads x
I'm 22 and this song slaps. Thanks, Sky High.
Hi I recommend taking a listen to a song called 'where I come from' by Robert Nix
This is eternal.
She was, and still is, in my rapidly fading memories of the 80's. Great song, great times.
I bought the 7" single of this when it came out in early 1986. I've probably still got it - definitely still have the copy of Once in a Lifetime that I bought five years before that.
I thought this was about a girl he knew who did her own thing and went her own way,however eccentric or unconventional,and came in and out of his life on her wander through life.
Moving very slowly rising above the earth
The World was moving and she was right there with it
Boom
Thank you David Byrne for not dealing with VEVO
I don't know any details or anything about VEVO; I just hate monopolies dealing with artists
💟
They don't make 'em like this anymore.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Talking Heads. Two of my favourite bands
think maybe David Byrne knew what an out of body experience was?
On going projects, piece of cake, America 🇦🇷
Free Palestine
A have the CD....but I like to listen the song and watching the vídeo.....eh he hehehe.....love it soooooooooo much.
I remember loving this as a kid. I'm going to play this song for my grandkids, you can't be anything but happy listening to The Heads.
"True Stories" is one of my favorite films though I always fall asleep. Dallas was so small in the 80's. Jamming "Dream Operator" right now.
Racing my 94 black Taurus SHOGUN 140 mph down the freeway, the mild spring in my face, i look to my left and as the momentary glare of the sun clears my eyes I see a 93 red SHOGUN passing with a confident outside flare. It is piloted by a petite, long haired blonde wearing sunglasses, cute little dress. An angel driving her demon for all it has to give. I pin the pedal to meet, greet, and beat, this sweet pair. The intake ports rumble deep and I draw even quick, one of the most well known heavy turns in the region approaches, who will back off. We scream through screeching tires, people cheering the cars, the beauty of youth on fire. This was the song and that was the wedding, 5 ft from me 30 years, the song plays.

Gosh, it's been so long, but took me right back!
