A lot of times performances on these television shows don't really have the impact they deserve. Although I can say from working in live television, it's just the nature of the format, really. But they did a phenomenal job on the mixing with this one.

Amazing performance. But I’m currently hooked on the American Utopia Broadway version. There’s just something about it with the new different textures that was rearranged.

Y'know, this guy is such a good performer. He is constantly interacting with the music and seems to follow its trajectory. He starts slow and grows into a chorus that reminds me of heaven-bound worship, all in the name of TV. Byrne has always been a master of irony with his lyrics, this song proves that. I even like the lighting in this performance, it is so angelic, emanating from the horns and Byrne's dancing. He goes almost classical, almost chamber music, with the use of horns on the album. French Horns, Trombones. The meter of classical music compliments the robotic effect. Lastly, St Vincent may play second fiddle in this performance, but her voice sounds nice and she does her part admirably. "I'm glad the swelling went down"

I have only seen this type of silence at the end of a performance two other times: When Kyung Wha Chung performed Debussy's "Beau Soir" (on KZbin I saw it), and when my choir performed Durufle's "Requiem" (7 seconds of silence after Ad Paradisium). This performance by Byrne obviously had a profound impact on the audience. Wonderfully done, sir!

This is pure musical perfection. I was lucky to catch them on this tour, and it still easily ranks in my top 5 concerts of all time. Seriously, the setlist was perfect: most, if not all of the album that they wrote together; plus about 5 St. Vincent songs, 2 or 3 solo David Byrne, and as many as 5 Talking Heads tunes.

is it just me or did annie clark turn into david byrne after this tour, her hair, makeup, odd dance-gestures when she plays now, super funk horns (which I'm assuming were mostly byrne (if you listen to like Feelings or Rei momo or other solo stuff from decades ago it sounds just like the collab album). Seems kind of odd.

@williamsanders234810 жыл бұрын
Heavily influenced, yes, but her music still sounds more like her than it does Byrne. The choreography was something she never did till touring with him, and she enjoyed it so much she incorporated it into her show. The one word she used to describe Byrne was fearless, when it came to creating music. That seems to be the attitude she tried to emulate when making the new album. My opinion is she was mostly fearless the whole time, and Byrne influenced her to run with it. That's what the great artists do.
@falcychead819810 жыл бұрын
William Sanders She's picked up his brush, but she's doing her own paintings. You're right, she's always been fearless -- because she's so into music, it's never occurred to her to worry about what people would think. I don't know if Byrne gave her permission, exactly, but he certainly energized that. She was clearly having the time of her life working with him. Then when the tour was done, she went for a walk around the block for fifteen minutes, and came back with a whole new album and hitting us with this whole Queen-of-Neptune schtick. By this time next year she'll probably completely change again and be the Clown Princess of Hip-Hop Zydeco, or something. So, while other people worry about what they think about her music, she's given me permission to just go ahead and love it.

I used to think that I should watch TV I used to think that it was good for me Wanted to know what folks were thinking To understand the land I live in And I would lose myself, and it would set me free This is the place where common people go A global franchise, one department store Yes, there were many awkward moments I had to do some self-atonement And I would lose myself and it would set me free I know, I like Behold and love this giant Big soul, big lips That's me and I am this Everybody gets a touched-up hairdo Everybody's in the passing lane Aberration makes you touch dark shadows The weird things that live in there I took a walk down to the park today I wrote a song called "Just Like You and Me" I heard the jokes from the sports reporter The rival teams when they faced each other The more I lost myself the more it set me free How am I not your brother? How are you not like me? Everybody's in the hotel lobby I'm living in here, yes I am I feel it moving in my arms and fingers Touch me and feel my pain It's good to lose and it's good to win sometimes It's good to die and it's good to be alive Maybe someday we can stand together Not afraid of what our eyes might see Maybe someday I'll understand them better, The weird things inside of me.
