Its fun watching Lex during this. You can tell she's starting to like what she's hearing. The Talking Heads slowly creep into your listening subconscious and little by little they have you. Sometimes its just a vibe more then a message.

Except for Once in a Lifetime, that message will grab you before the unorthodox rhythm

[@randytorres8211]

Written by Al Green with his guitarist, Teenie Hodges, "Take Me To The River" first appeared on Green's 1974 album Al Green Explores Your Mind. It wasn't a hit, but attracted lots of cover versions, including by Syl Johnson in 1975, Foghat in 1976 and Bryan Ferry in 1978. Green and Johnson's versions were well known in R&B circles, but the Talking Heads brought it to the New Wave rock crowd and had the highest charting version of the song, reaching #26 in the US. The song is about a baptism, a topic that jelled with Al Green, who later became an ordained minister. You wouldn't think a New York City-based art-rock band could pull off a gospel-tinged song by a Southern soul singer, but Talking Heads kept the spiritual feel of the song while putting their own spin on it - lead singer David Byrne doesn't sound like a traditional vocalist and could inhabit a character quite believably. His version of preaching on "Take Me To The River" foreshadowed a later Talking Heads hit, "Once In A Lifetime." (Songfacts.com)

Ya'll need to watch the live version from the "Stop Making Sense" tour. Sounds like a completely different song.

[@CCDzine]

The live version from their concert film, Stop Making Sense, is my favorite song of all genres, all time periods, even after all these years since I saw the movie in a theater in Hollywood.

[@TheNeonRabbit]

Such a simple beat yet so powerful

[@mikecaetano]

Brad, maybe this is what sounded familiar? "You've got to love her, tease her, don't squeeze her \ Gotta try nah nah nah, try \ Try a little tenderness, yeah, watch her groove" -- "Try a Little Tenderness", Otis Redding (1966)

[@lindawulfkoenig4907]

The "hold me, squeeze me, never leave me" thing...good catch; maybe Brad's thinking of Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness"? "Hold her when you wanna squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her."

[@chickendinner9219]

Their concert film Stop Making Sense is widely considered to be one of the best concert films in rock history . Definitely worth a watch beginning to end . Individual songs from the film are still great but the way the performance builds from the first note gets lost if you don't watch from beginning to end

[@T-ShirtMagic]

FYI - film *Stop Making Sense* was the most rented video of the 80s decade.

[@charliecochran3035]

This is one of the few bands where I will recommend live versions of most of their popular songs. Their live sound is spot on, which is good, but it's the visual performance that is the seller. It's hilarious and full of energy. Life During Wartime is the best. He literally runs laps around the stage during the song. When he isn't doing that he's dancing like a goofball while he sings...thats not an insult either as he is smooth as could be even while moving very strangely. It's just amazing enetertainment.

I'm glad Led pointed out how funky this is. A lot of people miss that about Talking Heads. When they came out they were classified as alternative-new waves artsy white college kids and their funk was overlooked. Also: "there's a lot of cheese on that"? Hahaha! Yes, there is! Layers and layers. ..

[@timpindar]

Glad that Lex is gradually “getting” Talking Heads. Once you do, you’re sucked in. A brilliant, incredible band. Back in the day I remember when Fear Of Music came out, and then Remain In Light, both fantastic albums, revolutionary and very influential. But above all, great to listen to!

"Try a Little Tenderness" has "You've got to hold her, squeeze her, never leave her...". Otis Redding wrote it, I think, and 3 Dog Night covered it, as well as many others. Also a great song.

[@sjw5797]

The Committments had the best version.

[@bobschenkel7921]

The lyric "Love is an ocean" is your biggest clue to the meaning of the song. All rivers eventually run into the ocean, so the songwriter is asking for the object of his song to start him on the route of love, just get him started. It's a love song, but a person in search of love, not someone who already HAS love in their life. And Tina Weymouth's Bass line is insistent and urging.

[@rgractor]

Pretty sure that’s not the lyrics and is just a poor transcription. I think it’s, “Love is a notion that I can’t forget,” not, “Love is an ocean that I can’t forget.” But, that’s a cool interpretation nevertheless!

[@daledodson1279]

@@rgractor Pretty sure the lyric is, “ Love is an ocean “.

[@rgractor]

@@daledodson1279 the original lyric in the Al Green version was, “Love is a notion that I can’t forget.” It seems to have been inaccurately transcribed here and may have been sung inaccurately in a cover, but I’m pretty sure this version is also “notion”. The line is about the singer not being willing to give up on the notion of love, despite all the things the other person had put them through.

[@quintoblanco8746]

@@daledodson1279 I'm leaning to 'a notion' that seems to be the original lyric and it's what I hear when I listen to Talking Head's cover, and lyrically, 'a notion' actually works very well.

This is not "funky," this is GROOVE. Easily my favorite Heads groove... you can do anything, and this tune is going to suck you into its groove.

[@joesmith8725]

Talking Heads were a very unique, artsy punk rock band. New wave punk and always had funk added to their music. Bass guitars. Very danceable music. lol Similar to B-52s, David Bowie (some years), Devo, Oingo Boingo, etc. Punk funk! Punk rock bands hung out with funk bands often back then at underground clubs, therefore the influences. They were kind of a nerdy, odd, smart band (they met at an art college in NYC area). Lot of their stuff was played on college radio, alternative radio stations. Al Green cover, BTW. Always watch Talking Heads live videos and music videos, they are very fun and funny. Dance moves and antics. BTW, Brad heard the familiarity with Journey "Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin" Yall done that one awhile back.

[@Chrisharrison-tf7mg]

Momma's got a squeeze box by the who. To answer you question.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

I think the being taken to the river & dropped in is a metaphor for baptism & being saved. In the verses it seems the lyrics are about seeking love, so requesting the 'baptism' may be about asking to have a fresh start. As we all know, when we have a crush on someone our lustful feelings can be baggage that get in the way of the relationship we crave. We often just wish we could start over. Soul singer Al Green who wrote & recorded the song four years before The Talking Heads covered it. He went on to become a pastor so if the song has some religious references, it might not be unexpected.

[@WindmillChef]

You guys are great, and your skin color compelled me to make this comment, I think it will interest you. This is a very old song, a pure blues song. I did not do my fact finding homework before this writing, I just started commenting. Who actually gets the credit for this song as the first recording artist with a contract. Another commenter below says it is Al Green and I am not going to doubt him, but where did Al Green get the idea from? The slaves working the fields in places like Georgia and Alabama under way too much sun heat and in known oppressed circumstances would sing this song "Take me to the river, dump me in the water" in pure blues fashion in a cry to be cooled off by water and to in dream like fashion quest for the sense of freedom of just going to a river for fun and cool down. All this as a means to cope with the day, the work and their circumstances. I can just imagine black musicians in the 1930's to 60's going to Chicago for a music career and playing altered versions of this song in the Chicago clubs. Of course subsequent recording artist altered and changed the music and lyrics up to make this song more light weight and palatable for audiences. So many blues musicians in their sense of purity love to play this song, I would say that it is a staple in blues music, popularized further by blues themed movies like "The Commitments" (the movie features this song). I am with Lex, this Talking Heads version has quite a bit of tasteful funk to it. David Byrne is a great artist and The Talking Heads a great band, as they are praised in many comments below. What's interesting is that The Talking Heads were a "split-off" of a late 70's, early 80's, equally interesting pure Disco era and genre New York band, the "Tom Tom Club".

Reading the comments, I didn't know that this was a cover. That said, back in the day when this was played on MTV or the radio, I'd listen. I liked it. My default is rock/hard rock, but loved going outside my comfort zone. I could make a list that no one would read, but 50's through the 70's rock, what at the time was considered rock. Two examples: I loved Rick James and Tori Amos. Bigger list, of course, but those two gives you an idea.

Talking Heads all met in New York City performing arts school that’s why did you get the theatrics and weird storylines they made a movie about concert they did in late 80’s It’s timeless, few bands have as much fun performing And it comes through in their performance.

[@Dr3amtime]

I remember the first time I heard the Talking Heads was when I was a high school senior and this song came on my car radio. There was something so different in it that I pulled off the road to stop and listen. I think that only happened once or twice in my life. Still one of my favorites to sing to myself. Brad, you've probably heard the "squeeze me, tease me" rhyme in lots of songs; it shows up a lot, going back to at least Fats Waller and Ella Fitzgerald. One of the more recent examples is Li'l Kim's "Touch Me, Squeeze Me": "You gotta please me Touch and tease me Love me, hug me Rub me, squeeze me Kiss me, and never deceive me."

[@kbrewski1]

This is a cover of a song by soul legend Al Green. Talking Heads originally intended to record it with a faster groove, but while they were messing around in the studio they noticed more people were nodding along to it when they played it slow.

Yes, Stop Making Sense is a fantastic concert movie - but I still think this studio version is ace. The stealthy tempo and atmosphere are superb, and David Byrne's vocal is commanding. One of the things I love about this take on a soul classic is that Talking Heads truly remake the song in their own image, and Byrne doesn't try to "sound black", by which I mean he doesn't try to ape any of Al Green's vocal inflections and phrasing.

[@karenduell1027]

Agree.
