| | Listening Wind Lyrics Artist(Band):Talking Heads
Mojique thinks of days before Americans came He sees(serves) the foreigners in growing numbers He sees the foreigners in fancy houses He dreams of days that he can still remember...now. Mojique holds a package in his quivering hands Mojique sends the package to the American man Softly he glides along the streets and alleys Up comes the wind that makes them run for cover He feels the time is surely now or never...more. The wind in my heart The wind in my heart The dust in my head The dust in my head The wind in my heart The wind in my heart (Come to) Drive them away Drive them away. Mojique buys his equipment in the market place Mojique plants devices through the free trade zone He feels the wind is lifting up his people He calls the wind to guide him on his mission He knows his friend the wind is always standing...by. Mojique smells the wind that comes from far away Mojique waits for news in a quiet place He feels the presence of the wind beside(around) him He feels the power of the past behind him He has the knowledge of the wind to guide him...on.

Review about Listening Wind pre-intellectual mysticism, not terrorism! | Reviewer: Yaroslav | 12/18/08 Immortal song! I doubt it's as straightforward as the previous reviewer's reading of it (terrorism and all). It's more enigmatic than that. You can't understand the Russian muzhik, and he probably can't understand himself either, whatever he's doing in that song is beyond anyone's comprehension, including his own. We cannot even tell what he thinks about the growing foreign preesence in his "realm" (positive? negative? indifferent?). But he's a wonderfully animistic creature, and the wind (who's every bit as wordless, lacking self-reflection, and enigmatic as the muzhik himself) that wind is muzhik's friend and his helper. What a wonderful, beautiful, dreamy text. True poetry. Terrorism | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/5/07 If you want to understand the lyrics, pay close attention to them: Mojique feels that the foreigngers whom he sees "in growing numbers" are obliterating his culture and heritage. So he "buys equipment," "plants devices." Get it? He's planting bombs. He's committing an act of terrorism against the "foreigners." Once the bombs are primed for detonation, he leaves and waits in a "quiet place" for "news" of the attack to reach him. That's what the lyrics are about. moving song | Reviewer: Karl Suni | 4/13/07 This is truly wonderful, moving music with great lyrics, as well. The album is one of the greatest ever, with 3 other unbelievable songs and a bunch that are just very good. If you have not heard it, or have but don't own it, go buy or borrow "Remain in Light". And give "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" a try. I, too, greatly wish that Eno/Byrne were still collaborating musically. what a timeless track | Reviewer: Collin Batchelor | 7/5/06 well what a timeless track. It always sounds good to me, like an old friend. I don't even need to understand what it's all about. It's gentle and persuasive, draws me in, makes me think of times gone by, other cultures. One of those songs that take you away to a far off place. another classic from the Byrne and Eno farm, I wish they were still making music together Review the song Listening Wind The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
