Who's listening to this masterpiece in 2024?
Me
Me,for sure
🙋
Same as it ever was... June '24.
same
at it ever was
The "same as it ever was" theme is PERFECTLY alluded to in the bass line. What really bends your ear is that through the verses and chorus's the bassline does not change one bit. It supports the I in the verses and inverted it supports the V in the choruses. I'm sure that is a Brian Eno move and it's just pure absolute genius!!
Guess you could say the bass line is the same as it ever was
Yeah because Brian Eno played bass on the track and wrote the song.
Eno loves those kind of loops. He didn't play the bass, but likely played around with a loop of it.
This is Tina on bass.
@@lucaswalker6919 exactly the point of the whole thing
This is one of those songs that you hear when you're young.
You like it.
You may love it.
It's catchy.
But then someday you get a little older and you're listening to it one day and you realize just how incredible this song is.
And then you start watching more Talking Heads stuff and then you realize that you were right there in the 80s when this dropped.
And you realize that you didn't fully appreciate them.
And you realize that it's just because you're old and stuff means different things to you and that your perspective shifts greatly across your life.
Then you just sit back and ponder life.
I was there.
Then I was in another place.
Then I was somewhere else.
Now I'm here.
Where will I be next?
Where will I be next?
Thanks, Talking Heads.
You beautiful artists.
You NAILED it! Wonderfully stated.
100% agree
Great post that mate. Nailed it
At 9 years old I somehow heard this as the inevitable quarter and midlife crisis I saw coming that was utterly powerless to stop hitting me like a tsunami, but I'm somehow still standing, and it scares me to this day
What a pretentious comment 😆
That was literally my exact experience lol
A timeless classic for every midlife crisis
This and road to nowhere
Nailed my mood 👍
I don't think this song is about midlife crises. You can be any age and realize the absurd reality the vast majority of us have been forced into since probably the mid 20th century. Just utterly thoughtless and selfish, placated with sugary meals and entertainment. Joy redefined as acquiring a bigger TV or car or house. Made to believe life is only about pursuing short term joys and endless comfort.
It is. It’s about the days go by, water flowing underground, Alston! You know, those who are proud of Carlisle. But they’re daft, the river is holy to horses. Yep. It’s holy to a horse. But they’re not all loyal. I don’t know. Above ground rages a terrible fire, and that man was a parrot.
@@M00SE414yes. The realisation that our lives are futile. Lived on the hamster wheel of a rich man's exploitation.
One of the greatest songs of all time
this song is so damn good
Yes
gonna be
60 years
old
May 28th
didn't see
it comin....
know
now
how
I. got. here.
the kind of song that only comes once in a lifetime
Fr its amazing
This year is 2024, but I don't feel old-fashioned about this song even now. It's really amazing.
And you may find yourself... replaying this song on loop.
This is one of the most unusual song I have ever heard, it is simply entertaining to listen to.
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix

Feedback
Are you a Gen Z kid?
I agree. And the song is far better than the video.
released in 1980, still sounds fresh
I guess you could say it’s the same as it ever was
@@saladviolator😄Very good 👍
@@saladviolator 🤣🤣💯💯💯💯
@@saladviolatorSame as it ever was
eXactumundo.
one of the most SIMPLE yet ADORED basslines ever!.
I swear when ever I feel like I'm the verge of breaking down I either listen to this song or just yell "same as it ever was" for some reason it helps
Same bruh, you got this, King
The Cathartic Heads, yes; you're right!
Keep your head up. GOD bless you, bro.
Same, this song touches on so many different things and moves me so far emotionally. I always tell people that it's profound and has a ton of meaning, when they ask me what it is I always say "listen to it and tell me."
I literally just bought. “Shack”.
A small farmhouse with a big porch overlooking a beautiful flowing river.
I was 16 when this dropped and I had it on vinyl and 8 track. I listened to this song hundreds if not thousand times back then.
40 years later and listening to it after a long time,……I realize it’s my life’s anthem and the fact that I just bought a “shack” on a river to watch the water flow by is not lost on me for one minute.
Life is a wonderful experience…….go get your “shack” !
"Remain in Light" is one of those albums that just never stops rocking. Every single song is perfect. Brian Eno, David Byrne, and the rest of the gang cooked up something special with this.
Suffering from bipolar disorder and owning one of the best restaurants in my town, sometimes this song goes through my head after a good manic episode.
Awe keep going geezer
This song really grows on you
Tina Wentworth’s bass play is absolutely awesome.
Wentworth is a town in England.WEYMOUTH is also a town in England.However, only the second one is also the bass player in Talking Heads!.
Pure 80s classic! The most magical Era of music ever! When we had all the genres...
Never gets old.
The best of Talking heads
Great song and great group !
The best of Talking heads
Same as it ever was........
Same as it ever was........
Best album they ever did and they made some greats.
god, this song makes me feel such intense nostalgia and happiness
What an amazing and unique track! I love the intro - it feels like a culmination of all the elements that the Talking Heads are known for, fused into one cohesive song. It makes me wish I could travel back in time and experience the magic of the 70's and 80's.
😊
💋🔥👑🕊️
I mean, as an 80's kid, I definitely wouldn't say the 80's were magical, but it certainly did have it's moments! This tune was one of them!
@Efficient7x just like you can't go back, to be there, nor can those that were be there in your future😂
@@Kj16Vagree
Greatest song about being lost ever made.
And "Remain in light" is probably the best Pop album ever produced. All songs are genious, Once in a lifetime is one of them, but all the other songs should be listened
@yesalot And Trent Reznor's favorite album ever IIRC.
@yesalot Actually Rick favorite was My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts by David Byrne and Brian Eno
Brian enos masterpiece. Next to his work with BOWIE
no this isnt
I recently went on a cruise in the Caribbean and I had this song on one of my playlists. I had this song on repeat so many times walking around the ships. It fit so well on the deck with the waves washing up on the ship, even during night. It felt so good walking around inside as well, it felt moving, fast and happy. This is one of my favorite songs because of that cruise.
My Dad used to play this all the time I grew up listening to these songs brings back so many good memories they don't make good bangers like this anymore no way
IMO all previous Talking Heads songs lead up to this one. And all subsequent ones are the 'fade out.' In other words, this is the peak. The masterpiece.
You are right
I smile every time I hear this song.
I always see the music video in front of me even if it's not there, so catchy it is.
I legitimately get choked up and almost cry 😅
This song never loses steam. It is just f-ing excellent.
Oh so spot on!!!!!!!!!!
Never gets old.
The best of Talking heads
HEY MARIA
I will never forget the feeling i had when i heard this song for the first time. Something clicked in me. What to do in my life. What not to do. Now, 40 years later it still brings a tear to my eyes. Once in a lifetime.....
This is the most unique songs I have ever heard.
One of the best songs ever!
This track STILL Bangs...STILL Thumps!!! 🎸🎹🥁
Here’s a fun challenge for you and your friends: try listening to this song the entire way through without smiling at all.
Or bobbin your head lol
Challenge level: impossible. 😂😂😂
This song is LOUD even without volume.
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?
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
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!
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
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
Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
Water dissolving and water removing
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again into 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
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 yourself
"My God! What have I done?"
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
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
Letting the days go by
Same as it ever was
And here the twister comes
Here comes the twister
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was)
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
The lyrics here. and the production are different than the quote official video
Thanks, we know.
Cheers mate kno the lyrics to this classic thanking u
What a treat to stumble onto this classic - nostalgic memories flood back with the base lifting my spirits as it did when I could let the days go by without thinking they’d ever end ❤
I think that this is my favorite album of all time.
I listen to a lot of music but I always come back to this genius. Thank you David for the music. I survive on it.
Under the water, we carry the water!
Love this song ❤️
Same as it ever was........
This was made in 1980. Unbelievable.
I can't believe this song in 2030 will be 50 years old.
Went to college to be art students ended up Talking Heads thank God art imitates life
Same as it ever was! There's nothing new under the sun- SOLOMON
I love quoting "Hey! How did I get here?!" All the time lol, I love this song
Never gets old.
Your "tag" made me need to compliment you! Amon Duul II !
It's the same as it ever was.
@@mauricio460 you get it.
Was flabbergasted when it was released, still flabbergasted now...
@@mauricio460 same as it ever was.
And then a twister comes. Here comes the twister.
G Man sends his regards.
I swear I could just listen to this on repeat all day 😂
Hi I recommend a song here on youtube called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
No you can I hear this song about 7 to 9 times a day at work
HI
Same
Guilty: I just listened to this 5 times straight...and dont feel bad about it.
Literally one of the coolest bands ever
I sure do enjoy listening to this in my large automobile
Undeniably great song
The live version is pretty awesome, too
A song about the futility of every day life and being stuck in a middle class loop. A very nihilistic song presented in a very entertaining and creative manner.
Masterpiece of madness
I found myself in a beautiful house, thanks for this!
with a beautiful wife?
Did you ask yourself how you got there?
One of life's lessons from the great David Byrne. As with all great art, it never loses relevance.
The first time I got really, really high when I was 17 in 1980 I was listening to this album and it was the greatest experience of my life.
Am phoning your mother
This is one of the greatest songs to ever come out of America.
Hi I recommend a song and video called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
David Byrne born in dumbarton in scotland 🏴🕺👌✌
it kinda sums up america. its a brilliant song, i agree
Dixit David Byrne about the lyrical inspiration behind this piece : “Most of the words in ‘Once in a Lifetime’ [1980] come from evangelists I recorded off the radio while taking notes and picking up phrases I thought were interesting directions. Maybe I’m fascinated with the middle class because it seems so different from my life, so distant from what I do. I can’t imagine living like that.”
A myriad of musicians cite “Once in a Lifetime” as ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER RECORDED❗️
Among those people :
Charlotte Church, who named it the first song she fell in love with : “The first time I heard it, my mind was blown. There’s magic in that song. I think David Byrne is an absolute G.”
Nick Fieldman of Wang Chung, who loves the “almost randomly cacophonous keyboard burblings, the wonderful bass line and rhythm section groove and David Byrne’s slightly preacher-like vocals.”
Glen Balard,, who produced and co-wrote hits for the likes of Alanis Morissette, Dave Matthews and Aerosmith, stated : “That song can’t be touched. I listen to it like once a month because everything about it is so perfect.”
A MASTERPIECE BY A MASTERMIND‼️ 💎🎶💎
I love this song but never knew the name. I remember dancing to this song and shaking my head wild, lol.😱 So, I was left alone on the dance floor, and remember Billie Idol's song, "Dancing by Myself?" He encouraged me to just to do that. 😉
Dancing With Myself! Great song :D
So in effect you’re saying “same as it ever was”
that exactly what I’m dancing 💃 i love ❤️ talking heads song
Yeah i love ❤️ billie idol’s dancing by myself song 🎵 and it is on my dreamworks movie flushed away dvd 📀
Feel the Byrne.
i Always love it when alternative music with a commercial bend infiltrates the mainstream airwaves.
The song is so dang catchy!!
There is water at the bottom of the ocean.
radiohead pfp!!!!
Big if true
So true 😔😔😔😔😔
Damn, that’s deep
Who would have thought?
I found this in my early years, its weird growing up trying to savor youth b/c people/media told you to do it by letting you know it was important to.
makes ya remember old times.
Timeless
I feel like I’m having a stroke reading these comments
1:46 the best part they cut out from the official music video
Heard this on an episode of Solar Opposites and was immediately like “Oh my god! I haven’t heard this is so long!” Nostalgia hit hard and I’m happy now
I just saw the same episode and said the same thing!
What was the name of the episode?
@@cerabond7650 season 3 - episode 11: The fog of pupa
@@deadaccount6385 Thanks.
The best of Talking heads
Classic Album this is my top 5 of all time Albums
Thanks for sharing the original version
Love this song ❤️
Great song and great group !
Che dire: da brividi! A palla in auto in cinque amici/amiche, dall' 1984 eeehhh Forever♥
CLASSSIC!!!! ❤❤❤❤
The talking heads have always been a weird band, BUT HOLY SHIT THIS SONG IS AMAZING AND IVE HAD IT STUCK IT IN MY HEAD ALL DAY
Just heard my brother blasting this in the living room and singing along. He’s going through it rn
Incredible song
David could’ve fit right in with the Beatniks poets of the 50s
I just came back from 1980 man it’s even better!! I went to a disco they played this song people were smoking and they were happy wow!!! The air is better I’m going back soon fuck this place!!! Same as it ever was
Often when I listen to music, I will focus on different parts of a song.
This bass line is the same four notes, all the way through, never changes.
But all the other instruments around the bass give the feeling it's a changing bass line.
Blows my mind.
I hate the part finding myself in reality
you may find yourself in a time when music meant something more than the ocean of once in a lifetime!!! Xxxxx
For the pupa
And you may ask yourself, how did I get here?
The first time I heard it I thought "we will talk about this song for decades..."
2:16 ROCK AND STONE EVERYONE!
Yay thanks! Pray for Dave Mustaine throat cancer... But yea love my talking heads ....good times
Excellent!
Luv it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You just stole three comments...
yeah STFU bot
Love this song
Ok so I’ve always liked the outro sure but today I was in a mall-like place with that part of the song playing and it just struck me… that’s mindblowingly good… like imagine if they decided not to go with that outro/did something else. I played the outro over and over on the way home… I’m in tears. How is that sound being made? Is it feedback mixed with a synth? The outro elevates this song from a truly excellent song to masterpiece.
The keyboarding in the background along with the bassline is among the best musical arrangements in 80s music. Tina Weymouth was also a member of the Tom Tom Club. 🙂
It's so unique. Never heard anything similar to this.
@faaaduma Yeah the sounds of the 80s were amazing 👏
It's brain eno
Definitely in my top 5 albums of all-time.
you set the bar extremely low
@@riding4beers889
Only that time I hooked up with your mom.
???
this makes me feel ways
Thanks Janelle for introducing me to this group last century...
In the early 80s I did a (strange) radiointerview with a band I was a member of. We all had very different personalities and tastes in music, but could agree on this song as a request.
One of my fav albums.thanks.
Such a remarkable song. It's so well-crafted and undeniably a pleasure to listen to, but the lyrics (to me) carry such a feeling of existential dread. I find myself singing along and weeping all at once.
Such an Amazing Composition of Musical 🎼 Instruments.
I was born when this song came out😊
