A Little Mood Music for You Youngsters . . .



The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground

Head in the sky . . . 
I can't tell one from another 
Did I find you or you find me? . . .
Out of all those kinds of people,You got a face with a view
I'm just  an animal looking for a home 
Share the same space for a minute or two



David Byrne with Arcade Fire  (not great sound quality, but . . .) 
. . . and just by his godly, perfect self with the Talking Heads singing This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody in 1983 ).. and David Byrne singing it recently with Tosca Strings - maybe my favorite, and exquisite live (below). As an unusually astute YouTube commenter says, "The groove tears your guts out, then the lyrics come in and take your milk money." I concur. 

*** I saw him riding his bike around San Diego before a show. I die.
