This may be the best song I have ever heard.........

[@limer4330]

I agree.

[@douwevenema3748]

This was precisely what I thought when I clicked on this song. Then I wanted to like your comments but the likes went down... Already did xD

[@magdazielinska8504]

Definitely it is :)

[@bernlin2000]

Not sure why MJ gets the title...I think David Byrne is the king of pop. This song is pop perfection

[@williamholcomb1490]

Absolutely splendid. David sounds great. Anne Clark just looks so cool leaning against the sax player until she "patters" over to the mic to sing backup. And what a great solo from her. This band has such talent. Great video, great show.

[@mr.darth_vader_wants_a_new_tv.]

fall in love with life every time i hear this song

[@davidryan7386]

i been playing in front of a grocery store for years and i can't believe i forgot about this song. Will learn tonight and have roughed for the moorw, god willin iT IS is such a celebration of being human.

[@Psyfrox]

i have seen this maybe 60 times non stop...

[@troyastro]

David Byrne is a legend. Brian Eno is MAGIC.

[@diegobis2048]

at this point I feel like I'll never be over this video

[@wilkesysublime]

You know what’s up when the live version is better than the studio version 😍

[@Spamfish]

Last week did not know this song existed. A week later and it's one of my all-time favs.

[@user-sc7cb6zw5n]

It took a week?! 😂 By the end of it I was hooked n dancing around ! I needed this jam.

[@PoisonIvyLeague]

One of the best songs of all time, performed brilliantly by the genius Byrne, and backup vocals by the goddess St. Vincent. Life doesn’t get any better than this

[@ashleymoore158]

This song always makes me cry happy tears, I have no idea why. I love it so much :) its a happy place for me

[@iansevsek1987]

I feel ya ! They always said he was strange but when he carries you to a chorus like this or once in a lifetime , you cannot help but let it out 😉

[@angelacristina984]

Beautiful words! Same with me.

[@lucifer-ic9th]

You're not alone

[@timcarman5238]

my go to song

[@Mark.H.9192]

I'm with you, Ashley, and many others too! This is a brilliant performance. Hold on to your happy place and visit often! Cheers to you!

[@dyathink]

damn, he´s so cooooool and his voice still is so clear and fresh..how does he DO it? *sigh*

[@ChrisR_68]

Also David's voice hasn't faltered, brilliant live singer & performer !!!

[@jamespriest9658]

I'm 66, David is unbelievable still, Annie is ahhhh hell yeah.

[@rjmprod]

Absolutely the best rendition of Strange Overtones I have ever heard him or anyone else do. Fucking incredible with the horns and Annie. David's voice gets better over time, and his phrasing is unmatched. I am only sorry I missed this tour. I hope this was recorded for a live album, I smell CLASSIC!!

[@martyjansing2675]

[@ishrashad]

I watch this. Again and again. And again I think: I love Annie Clark. I love David Byrne. And NPR... I so love you.❤❤❤

[@bluebee29]

The opening is amazing! Goosebumps!

[@lefunk22]

Has his voice even aged at all???!!! Still strong, smooth and clear. He's clearly been doing things very right all these years.

[@veras1228]

This is absolutely sublime

[@jeneenpenman8407]

By far my favorite song by them!! It's everything, the vibes of the music, David's voice, this one's got it all. 💫💥

[@randyrichardson3063]

this song could be 20 minutes long and I would listen to it on a loop

[@jamj1877]

Never heard this song before. Excellent, world class performance!

[@andrerodriguesdecarvalho4517]

a FUCKING LORD OF ALTERNATIVE MUSIC. GOD BLESS HIM.

[@spacedoginnebraska]

I love both of their music individually; together, it is pure bliss on a whole other level. Thanks for sharing this.

[@williambruner4287]

This song is so beautiful. All versions.

[@ChrisR_68]

Bloody brilliant, one of my favourite tracks on Everything that happens will happen today, I love David Byrne, I'm quite new to St Vincent but I like her 😋

[@TCNHC]

Absolutely awesome. He was always on the forefront. That's so good! Thanks Mr David Byrne.

[@carlisle3469]

Someone in twitter linked to this song in April ‘21 and i have been obsessed with it since-learning the chord structure, melody, and the pure pleasure of playing and singing slong with the studio version. THEN I discovered the several live versions on youtube, fell in live eith St Vincent, and been playing along with it all almost daily ever since.

[@qcoe115]

I saw this concert. David Byrne is my #1. Now I also follow Annie aka St Vincent.

[@quackman]

The little solo toward the end is even better than usual in this version! Love Byrne's white hair with his white coat.

[@bigwille11]

quack man he is classic

[@eichgon]

how does this song not have over a million views?

[@JaQuicker]

This song melts me into my seat every time

[@kpyng]

Two musical geniuses on one stage...

[@dlp2006]

What a voice David has

[@cindyc1674]

I saw them in Santa Barbara. Thanks for uploading it. A fan behind me kept saying "Strange Overtones, Strange Overtones, Strange Overtones, util they played it. Great song!

[@MrJames1994UK]

I really love St Vincent's guitar solo towards the end.

[@bernlin2000]

She's amazing, great partner to David's sound

[@pcm7315]

Never missed horns so much as when I hear them in songs like this. Annie's playing toward the end of the piece seemed to reach back through the years and I got a little nostalgic for some of those sounds from years gone by. Wow! What a great ensemble. If not for KZbin I would not have heard any of these collaborations. Not sure how it took me this long to hear this. This is some of the best 'feel good' music out there.

[@IveGotToast]

Feels very Robert Fripp

[@7sterling]

I just got chills.

[@control665]

this song totally caught me off guard a while back. I absolutely love it so much!

[@morogoro50]

I celebrated my bday in 2013 with my significant other and this magnificent concert at the Vittoriale Anphitheatre in Salo' Garda Lake ... PERFECTION !what a Stunning DUO

[@davidryan7386]

this song is the heart of my neighborhood

[@paulbradnick786]

[@666JOEBLOGGS]

[@andrewyeung7317]

This is SOOOOOOO good.

[@TheOyeoye000]

Made me cry, good way to start the day.

[@mipapantla]

Definitly agree!!!

[@achilleskatsamas6430]

Absolutely brilliant! One of my favorite songs of all times

[@wellingtonweather]

Simply sublime Byrne/Eno... out of fashion? well.. still right on the spot!

[@BEHEDETY]

annie moving with small steps on stage is absolutely cute

[@julietaaguiar4678]

Cómo puede ser que la voz de Byrne siga tan bella a pesar de los años? qué tipo increíble

[@raygavin8645]

A brilliant version of this song.

[@loicbaes9160]

So beautiful melody !! Pefect healthy David !! Great artist !

[@bernlin2000]

Dude still had it....what an unbelievably talented artist.

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Byrne is Byrne - always inventive and a great voice. And Annie - well she's not only great as a singer, performer and guitarist, but damn, she's adorable.

[@zakwando]

david's steady rhythm on guitars!!!!

[@74jailbreaker]

That left me speechless omg

[@booshting3520]

Awesome tune. These 2 sound great together.

[@JoaoFerreira-pj4me]

Byrne is GREAT!

[@thebeelight]

This is the best collaboration of all time

[@bv9434]

I love Byrne and st Vincent so much. Glad they let the song be and didn't force Annie's vox to be louder in the mix. So great they did this together

[@c.s.2063]

This is wonderful

[@lisacurrier7727]

David Byrne is magnificent!

[@gezma12]

saw these guys play this at the 'end of the road' festival last year, and it was so perfect. It became our little crews ear worm for the weekend. thanks David Byrne and St Vincent for a great show.

[@miracle1formation]

I wake up every morning I hear your feet on the stairs You're in the next apartment I hear you singing over there These beats are out of fashion This groove is 20 years old I saw you lend a hand to The ones out standing in the cold Strange Overtones in the music you are playing I'll harmonize It is strong and you are tough But a heart is not enough Put on your socks and mittens It's getting colder tonight A snowball in my kitchen I watched it melt before my eyes Your song still needs a chorus I know you'll figure it out The rising of the verses A change of key will let you out Strange overtones though they're slightly out of fashion I'll harmonize I see the music in your face That your words cannot explain Strange Overtones in the music you are playing We're not alone It is strong and you are tough But a heart is not enough

[@ChrisR_68]

One of my favourite songs of his , love it !!!!!!

[@SethMarcell]

i LOVE THIS.What a great version!

[@chrismofer]

damn I didn't know St Vincent played w David Byrne this is amazing. I've had Strange Overtones on repeat lately.

[@Maus5000]

[@johnbarry8542]

It's up there on the real good list
