The Talking Heads was one the most intelligent and highly praised volume and of the eighties seventies. Altogether 10 albums were published since 1976. With its unorthodox sound the Talkings Heads was promoted fast to cult volume of the last two decades. Talking Heads music was too alike to art and Pop. 1991 separated the volume officially. Now the three musicians of the original LINE UP, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison and Tina Weymouth (without the Songwriter and singers David Byrne) firmieren as The Heads and take the bases of its sound, in order to ring in a new era of their musician careers. The result of these part Reunion is present with the here available album "NO Talking - Just Head". Since "escape From new York" route, together with which Ramones 199 More...

I would translate: "Cross and we not cross the same river, we are and we are not". This song for me recalls you are not the same before or after cross the river. Neither be the same the second time you cross the same river. This song is pure existencialism!! Is when you question yourself and when you act that you know and be you. :) Sorry my bad english :$ Quintessential Love Song | Reviewer: Robert A. Sears ------ About the song This Must be the Place (Naive Melody) performed by Talking Heads A lovely, happy piece of music. This song always makes me smile, or cry, and puts a spring in my step. It reminds me so much of my beloved wife, Kari; hers is the kind of love that this song epitomises so well. This song speaks to my soul. I play bass guitar, and I love the synth bass riff that pins this song together. It's got a great groove. I was unaware that other musicians had covered it; I will definitely give them a listen. I am glad I checked out this review page. Psycho Killer..Qu'est-ce que c'est? | Reviewer: AnGi ------ About the song Psycho Killer performed by Talking Heads Oh boy. i love this song! its truly amazing. I'm a huge Talking Heads fan and this song is what got me hooked. I absolutely love it! Every time i hear it i just want to get up and dance! [[Excellent Song]] Funking Heads!!!! | Reviewer: seth goldberg ------ About the album Remain In Light performed by Talking Heads posable the funkyest album of all time. This album has its own genre of music packed into the tracks of the fantastic talking heads. This album reveals tight beating drum sounds that crack yours ears when you listen to. This is the real classic post-funk sound that David Byrne himself put together to create an avalanche of pure music. Under-rated? | Reviewer: cmto ------ About the song Seen and Not Seen performed by Talking Heads One of those bands acknowledged as brilliant but yet still maybe not as appreciated as they should be? There are a few of those. I've seen them mentioned when favourite bands comes up as a topic on forums and they are well received whenever I've mentioned them to friends. More fans than you realise? I didn't appreciate them as much when I was younger but having rediscovered them now, listening to their stuff a lot recently, they were great. BTW, I have a notion as to what this song is really about - and it's a topic they may have written about more than once. Unfortunately, most people are too dull to | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Radio Head performed by Talking Heads appreciate the brilliance of a band like the Talking Heads... It's sad really... And the few people that do claim to like them have only heard or seen "Stop Making Sense," which, as brilliant as it is, does not fully encompass the band's wide variety of musical knowledge and experimentation. And if it weren't for the Talking Heads, Radiohead would not be what they are today... and that thought really scares me, because they are my favorite band... It occurs to me however, that no one will ever read this, so I guess I'm done..

Existentialism | Reviewer: Raul Madrigal ------ About the song Once in a Lifetime performed by Talking Heads I think this is an amazing song. It's quite deep, and I believe it's a song about existentialism. Whish is to say that you are aware you exist, but you don't "Wel.. How did I get here?" and you could end up anywhere in life searching for meaning. And since my favorite book, "The Stranger" communicates the same thing, this is one of my favorite songs. progress is a comfortable disease | Reviewer: James Murray ------ About the song (Nothing But) Flowers performed by Talking Heads pity this busy monster, manunkind, not. Progress is a comfortable disease: your victim (death and life safely beyond) plays with the bigness of his littleness --- electrons deify one razorblade into a mountainrange; lenses extend unwish through curving wherewhen till unwish returns on its unself. A world of made is not a world of born --- pity poor flesh and trees, poor stars and stones, but never this fine specimen of hypermagical ultraomnipotence. We doctors know a hopeless case if --- listen: there's a hell of a good universe next door; let's go -- E. E. Cummings LOLZ! | Reviewer: Kit ------ About the song (Nothing But) Flowers performed by Talking Heads hey, you guys, if you've ever listened to talking heads before (which i assume you have) then you'll know that they are just a bunch of loonies who love singing these crazy songs. Most of them don't mean anything, they could've just been making this up as you go. Though it does seem as though this one has a meaning, i'm almost tempted to assume that it doesn't. it's just a funny song. and people arguing and gettig worked up about it and talking in all these political terms i think are just silly. or perhaps it's just the only song they've ever written that actually has meaning. First Time I "Really" Heard It. | Reviewer: Krakan ------ About the song Psycho Killer performed by Talking Heads I've heard this song on the radio growing up and didn't think anything of it, until I heard it on Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. It was so good that I thought it was a cover. By the way, Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon "Is" an awesome movie. What "Making Flippy Floppy" Means | Reviewer: Mark ------ About the song Making Flippy Floppy performed by Talking Heads The key to understanding this piece is in the album’s title – Speaking in Tongues. When caught in rapturous moments of epiphany, people babble. The meaning is not in the words, but in the experience that gives rise to the utterations. Here, the issue is what is the meaning of our lives, and how can we cope in the face of human fallibility, confusion, pain and suffering: where can we get grounded and rise above the tempest of human existence? The answer is in the music – the sound and rhythms, which will lead you to a deeper understanding of who you are, and an acceptance of the uncertainties of life and personal reconciliation to the fact that finding meaning to life is difficult, and when it’s found can’t be put inot words. Deep meaning is found in activity and in our resiliency to push on in spite of conflict, oppression, deceit. Flippy Floppy refers to changing your position on things, essentially holding opposite opinions at the same time. This refers to the deep, Zen-like goal of seeing and embracing both sides of reality, the good and the bad, the creative and the destructive,. the ying and yang. When you can embrace both, and reconcile yourself to their eternal co-presence, you find relief and are able to maintain a sense of humor, like the “smiling Buddha.” You keep your sense of humor and positive sense of self by engaging in activities that are fun, joyous, rejuvenating. In short, it’s a song about the power of music. It’s also about dancing to music – flipping and flopping your body. It’s a brilliant work of genius that is about itself and its creator, David Byrne. Wow | Reviewer: Jerry Harrison's cousin's aunt's uncle's room mate's mailman's dog's caretaker's friend's baker's sister ------ About the song Seen and Not Seen performed by Talking Heads This might qualify as THE weirdest song in history... I mean, it's about a guy who can control anyone's looks by thinking hat enough... David Byrne sounds like a drone, and the creepiest thing would have to be those planetary 80's synth effects. Bravo, Talking Heads. You have baffled me, again, and still remained my favorite band. It's sad no one today knows of their existence. Reminds me of the time I tried to introduce the album, "True Stories" to my friend. "WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT?!". (It was actually funny because to see how she would react, I put on "Remain in Light" and played only the crappy B-Side...) I ( Y ) Davis Byrne. \ / play this at my memorial! | Reviewer: john langdon ------ About the song This Must be the Place (Naive Melody) performed by Talking Heads not that i'm gonna die anytime soon, but this song says so much with so little, it works for me both as a romantic love song and speaks about my relationship with the world, makes my cry most every time i here it! thx for the heads-up on the covers, i'd heard s. colvin's, i'll check out others *dances* | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Psycho Killer performed by Talking Heads i'm almost embarrassed to admit, but i first heard this song on "behind the mask: the rise of leslie vernon." (great movie). and absolutely loved it. it's both fun and creepy at the same time. =] Beautiful | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song This Must be the Place (Naive Melody) performed by Talking Heads I have always enjoyed this song very much, even when other bands play it, but it wasn't until very recently that my girlfriend sent me the lyrics and I actually put things together and realized how perfectly this song sums up the feeling of love that we share. Amazing. I can't believe | Reviewer: Brad Lambert ------ About the song Seen and Not Seen performed by Talking Heads there are no other reviews for Seen and Not Seen. Possibly my favorite Talking Heads song. The word hypnotic is often used to describe certain TH songs but none come close to this one. ..This is why first impressions are often correct.. brilliant. best version | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song This Must be the Place (Naive Melody) performed by Talking Heads I think my favorite version of this is the cover by String Cheese Incident from 06/27/02- Little Rock, AR (the entire show is worth downloading)-- this version is absolutely amazing -- hands down my favorite. I am a huge fan of PGroove, but their version isn't as good as this one. arcade fire cover | Reviewer: Genny ------ About the song This Must be the Place (Naive Melody) performed by Talking Heads just wanted to add that the arcade fire also has a nice cover of this song..but I indeed love the 80s original the best :) american psycho fa fa fa | Reviewer: wesley ------ About the song Psycho Killer performed by Talking Heads american psycho in music, well done and that fa fa fa fa fa is that from the monkeys or something in know its from another band but cant remember for shure. brilliant chorus You could review the artist/band Talking Heads in Biography page You could review Talking Heads album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Talking Heads song by clicking the song which you like | | ||||||||||
