[@THEBEN364]

The classic car seat sound over Talking Head's incredible writing is too perfect

[@deathrattles214]

Ben_Dawg just the talking heads is perfect this cover sounds like complete shit

Death Rattles Jesus dude you weren’t gonna change anyone’s mind... (After the first comment thread I saw you in I checked, out of curiosity, and you responded to multiple people... just don’t listen to the song/band if it bothers you so much. Write a blog or something. Your not gonna get your point across in a comment section of a bunch of fans).

[@patrickdowney1455]

This song needs an official release, it legit might be the best cover ive ever heard

It's refreshing to listen to a musician like Will Toledo who is a true student of music and has as much respect for what came before him as he does.

I love to listen to musicians who have chemistry onstage and know how to improvise and jam: cueing each other, playing off each other, and generally being tight. These guys have that for sure

[@nikchhetri2686]

@@deathrattles214 you good mate? You’ve replied abuse to loads of comments. If somethings wrong let me know.

[@shoogerkane]

Didnt have time to read all the comments but, 1. This song is criminally underrated, the original that is. 2. This cover of it is amazing. The guitar playing is flat out top notch. And I love how they made up the ending on the spot - they dove in head first in learning it, didnt have time to rehearse how to end it but figured it out on the fly. Great stuff indeed.

[@thuccie]

it’s so rare to hear a good cover of this song. One of my favorite songs and I love this remake of it! Perfect blend of sounds where there’s still a distinct car seat sound

[@joedavies6918]

What more could you want than your favourite band covering your favourite song?

[@deathrattles214]

Joe Davies how about doing it good

[@naomiomiom]

Death Rattles god i love that you were so angry about this cover that you replied to like practically every positive comment

[@deathrattles214]

declan mc Thanks, I love you too. Fuck this abomination. The members of this heaping pile of shit should be marched in front of a firing squad and shot to smoldering hunks of meat for this crime against humanity. Double check for me but I’m sure this is in violation of NATO.

@@deathrattles214 Why are you wasting the very little time you have on this earth, spreading weird hate about something that's fucking subjective?

[@jessemoynan4332]

"This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)" Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me round I feel numb - born with a weak heart I guess I must be having fun The less we say about it the better Make it up as we go along Feet on the ground Head in the sky It's ok I know nothing's wrong... nothing Hi yo I got plenty of time Hi yo you got light in your eyes And you're standing here beside me I love the passing of time Never for money Always for love Cover up and say goodnight... say good night Home - is where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home - she lifted up her wings I guess that this must be the place I can't tell one from another Did I find you, or you find me? There was a time Before we were born If someone asks, this where I'll be... where I'll be Hi yo We drift in and out Hi yo Sing into my mouth Out of all those kinds of people You got a face with a view I'm just an animal looking for a home and, Share the same space for a minute or two And you love me till my heart stops Love me till I'm dead Eyes that light up, eyes look through you Cover up the blank spots Hit me on the head Ah ooh

[@user-ei8go8og5g]

they all have great chemistry, you can tell with how easily they bounce off each other and improv, I love this cover

[@markdacey7877]

He actually sounds like Jonathan Richman from the Modern Lovers (the old band of Talking Head Jerry Harrison)-comes full circle

[@deathrattles214]

Mark Dacey he sounds like shit

[@MisterAppleEsq]

Yeah, Will and Jonathan definitely have a similar sensibility.

[@cuthburt3636]

When I first saw CSH, I actually thought Will sounded like a young David Byrne. They are equally talented. Thanks for posting this!

Seeing this band is on my bucket list. I had tickets to the early test show for the Making a Door Less Open tour but that was in 2020 so I'm sure you can guess what happened. I just hope they have as much fun as they are here whenever I do see them!
