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... (Submit New Talking Heads Lyrics) (Submit New Talking Heads Lyrics) Review about Talking Heads What its about... | Reviewer: Colin ------ About the song Life During Wartime performed by Talking Heads In David Bowman's book This Must Be the Place: The Adventures of Talking Heads in the Twentieth Century, Byrne is quoted as describing the genesis of the song: "I wrote this in my loft on Seventh and Avenue A." And later, "I was thinking about Baader-Meinhof. Patty Hearst. Tompkins Square. This a song about living in Alphabet City." That's just copied of Wikipedia though, never read the book myself, but I'd guess its accurate. The killer kittin | Reviewer: Carly ------ About the song Psycho Killer performed by Talking Heads I love the talking heads!!! My dad got me into all of his music... So i got that going on. This song rocks!!! I would say much more but im typing from my ipod so... Yeah... And its11:30 so... But i would fill this box in a heart beat with positive comments about psycho killer!!! Not Rat Race | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Life During Wartime performed by Talking Heads I wouldn't say this is just about the constant survival of living in a rat race. The character is living out in the country by his lonesome at the start, simply surviving, and then eventually moves into the city to fight back against whatever "force" has taken dominance over the area. Now obviously he mentions the names of American cities, so I guess the hypothetical situation could be if Hitler had taken over the US during WW2, but I like to think he is expressing and empathizing the pains of foreign nations that get imperialized and assimilated by Western Countries, like say, Iraq (I realize when the song was written the Gulf War or the Iraq War were not around), or say, Vietnam, and David Byrne is bringing those fights home to America to show what everyday people in those countries are experiencing. Or it could really have no themes, and just be a cool post-apocalyptic war-zone survivalist. This is the place... | Reviewer: EK ------ About the song This Must be the Place (Naive Melody) performed by Talking Heads My Granfather just passed away and at age 80 he enjoyed listening to Talking Heads - I was able to take him to see David Byrne live this year in Spokane. After leaving the hospital this trak was playing and it said everything I needed to hear. This exemplifies the love I had for him and the love he shared with his family. Thank you David for easing the pain! Take a step back... | Reviewer: Mike Jonze ------ About the song Life During Wartime performed by Talking Heads Ok, if Germany won WWII, I'm not sure if the entire world would take on the German language, or that we would have to constantly identify ourselves; nobody will ever know. One thing I do know is that history is written by the winners, so there is still a bias which a lot of people like Court tend to overlook. Unfortunately these are the only texts considered sufficient enough to teach the public, so that is the only history anybody ends up knowing. It's sad, really. the classics | Reviewer: greg ------ About the song Psycho Killer performed by Talking Heads i totally agree with the review about "singing in the mirror with the full lunacy on your face". The driving beat is just addictive combined with the laconic singing style and french splashed throughout! Just smashing mad! A riposte to Joy Division | Reviewer: MC Culloch ------ About the song The Overload performed by Talking Heads The song was written by David Byrne after reading about Joy Division, a kind of a homage without actually hearing the Manchester band. When Byrne did hear Joy Division's music he was disappointed, stating it was too traditionally rocky. Foolin' around? | Reviewer: Court ------ About the song Life During Wartime performed by Talking Heads Not to turn this into a political argument or anything but saying that the United States saved us from "speaking German and being searched by nazi soldiers for your identity papers 24-7" is just as ridiculously ignorant as claiming that the US was/is responsible for millions of deaths. Before you start trying to make arguments to support your country pick up a history textbook. Anyway, wonderful song...wish they still made them like this. (: Great song | Reviewer: Chris ------ About the song Psycho Killer performed by Talking Heads Hey, to a young kid's ears, it does sound very dated, but it's a great song. I actually heard it from my father BEFORE it got on the TV show, Heroes. When I heard it, I jumped up and almost screamed, and said "Dad;s gonna be happy about this." Sylar is, in fact, a psycho killer. Hints of Goth and Post Punk | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Overload performed by Talking Heads A surprising departure from most of Talking Heads work... Very post-punk/goth as opposed to the art school sound that they original cultivated, and the world influenced direction that they eventually pursued. LOVE IT! | Reviewer: Anna Woodfield ------ About the song Life During Wartime performed by Talking Heads Only today I found out what it was all about. It is a really good song. Full of rhythem... I love it. Not to go off subject but 'And She Was' Is also one of the 'Gems Of Talking Heads' Overall it is a really good song. GO DAVID BYRNE! XA Oh, dear! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Life During Wartime performed by Talking Heads Take a few deep breaths everyone. "Life during Wartime" is a SONG. It has lyrics and a very dance-able melody and on "Stop making sense" it rocks. It is not about World War III, just the battle for every day survival in the rat-race. BTW, I suggest reading up on the Russian front of WWII before you suggest USA takes credit for the defeat of Hitler, and as for the USA being responsible for "billions of deaths" -excuse me? Was I out of the room when this happened? RockBand-tastic! | Reviewer: RoseH. ------ About the song Psycho Killer performed by Talking Heads I played this song in Rock Band 2. At first, I didn't really think much of it. But when I sang it, I found it really fun and catchy. I love the the French lyric twist it has; it's the part I enjoy singing the most. Achtung darling! | Reviewer: Whatduzitmatter ------ About the song Life During Wartime performed by Talking Heads U.S.A. responsible for billions of death? Are you for real? Obviously you never lived in the United States and.... If it were'nt for the U.S.A. be assured you would be speaking German and being searched by nazi soldiers for your identity papers 24-7. You do know what totalatarianism is, dont you? Wake up. well yer alright | Reviewer: Frank ------ About the song (Nothing But) Flowers performed by Talking Heads of course it means nothing and it also means everythingk you're the thought put into it... and sew if you've got a problem with the lyrics, then yes it's entire leftist proper-gander... and if you take every word, then yes; spend your time looking up the updated statistics... main question is did it and are you going to take its urging and do something.. if you want to then yes, you are absolutely right to do so; and if you don't then yes, you are absolutely right that it's based on the venison strips on a post apocolyptic highway mentioned in fight club... an masturbatory aids to the final kickings of the 80s pop with lyrics that tried to speak... ok.. that does sound like I'm one sided but so arse you pre-intellectual mysticism, not terrorism! | Reviewer: Yaroslav ------ About the song Listening Wind performed by Talking Heads 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. Yay Talking Heads | Reviewer: Cristina ------ About the song Psycho Killer performed by Talking Heads Talking Heads are well put together band with Great songs and Great lyrics. When i first heard this song "Psycho Killer". . . It got stuck in my head and I couldn't stop singing it. Just Brilliantly Awesome. :) Guys | Reviewer: Carlos ------ About the song (Nothing But) Flowers performed by Talking Heads The song is a mock, taunt, jab or gibe on what is called here in Chile as 'green fascism', you know, those neohippie-anarco-syndicalist-wool-wearing-snobby-vegans who come crashing into people's lives telling them how awful it all is, trying to impose their views by tiring everyone with panfletic discourses, thinking they have the right to change your mind just because they assume a morally un-criticable posture: "You can't critize me! If you critize me your against all the good things that the good people of the world can aspire too!" You got it? Totally nude... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song (Nothing But) Flowers performed by Talking Heads Hey, all you people digging in the sauerkraut trying to discuss the political meanings of this song, Keep in mind the tune "Totally Nude" is on this album, one song away from nothing but flowers. Look up THOSE lyrics, then tell me what you think. Jeeze Anyways... "And as things fell apart, nobody paid much attention" -That's the most telling line in the entire song, if you're trying to interpret politics. Quibble | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song (Nothing But) Flowers performed by Talking Heads The talking heads started its own dada music movement. That's what I Zimbra was all about. Doesn't mean every song they've produced was meaningless, though. Byrne didn't like writing story songs, but on occasion the heads churned out things like this. The big country, don't worry about the government, life during wartime, etc. As for this particular song and its message, I've been there. Grew up in a city, moved into a cabin in the woods. It sucked after the first year or so. Back in the city now, thinking about moving back into the woods. It's better to fantasize about. There is no political message. Rather a message on futility. A lot of his songs were like that.
