  • @AnonYmous-ry2jn
    @AnonYmous-ry2jn 2 місяці тому +2

    Rarely does a song achieve such magic through the feeling, energy and passion of singers not just transcending, but utterly trivializing technique. Like a lot of the alternative music scene and masterpiece performances at the time, music focused on certain kinds of poetry and poetic effects, pushing technique far into the background, and this gives the music incredible power. When they sing the repeating refrain, several are off key, yet anchored by Byrne, one or two others in the group, and that luscious sounding but simple bass. The resulting dissonance and spontaneous variation gives it incredible living energy and naturalness that would be ruined by polished singing. I can't get enough of this sound, just plain ADDICTED. Their youth and energy captured at that moment is forever, thanks to this recording. Utterly CLASSIC and TIMELESS!!!

    To be alive is a fine thing. It is the finest thing in the world, though hazardous. It is a unique thing. It happens only once in a lifetime. To be alive, to know consciously that you are alive, and to relish that knowledge - this is a kind of magic. Or it may be a kind of madness, exhilarating but harmless....Don't waste your time to make new dreams. but waste it to make one of your lifetime dream, come true....

      It's definitely good to see him freed from behind the guitar. (Why keep playing guitar after you add Adrian Below to your band?). IMO, that opens up a whole new dimension to his weirdness when he's running around on stage acting out his existential angst.
