David Byrne has shown me how to dance confidently without reservation.

[@chaddeez8446]

He taught Peewee Herman how to dance.

[@mathannexvienna3548]

Man this clip is soooo good, thank God it has been filmed so perfectly and preserved for future generations! With this performance the band opened up new dimensions of musical unison, physical freedom and stage magnetism, while keeping things simple, void of special effects - the spirit of rock'n'roll was never more alive, before or after. 🎸🎶

[@charlieguy6872]

when he starts running fucking laps!!! legendary. best of all time.

[@danielstoddart]

"Life During Wartime" will always be peak Talking Heads for me. The single just hit at absolutely the right moment: the dawn of the 1980s. Even years later, I would play it at loud volumes in my dorm room and it was the perfect "smart new wave" single. And this live version from "Stop Making Sense" is the real heart of the movie to me, the point where they're deep in, and there's no going back, it's like an electronic funk epiphany about modern life.

burned all my calories what good are calories? they won't help me survive!

[@macfleetwood1]

The backup singers, Lynn Mabry and Ednah Holt, elevate the song to a whole different level, David Byrne is just brilliant, the entire band gets an A+ for both energy and talent, but its the drummer, Chris Frantz, who drives the whole thing.

[@hlysnan6418]

There really is nothing like this.

[@gcmgcm4238]

The drummer is the amazing rhythm, so uniquely over the top, unexpectedly synchronized carrying the song, quite aligned with the bass; followed by the crême icing on top--David Byrne's unique powerfully constrained authentic voice instrument!

[@Musicman3832]

I agree.

[@invisiblestringstube]

My favorite version of the song 🎶🎸

[@serioustoday]

David is a genius. literally.

[@sandravirginia9550]

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons Packed up and ready to go Heard of some gravesites out by the highway A place where nobody knows The sound of gunfire off in the distance I'm getting used to it now Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto I've lived all over this town This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey-dovey I ain't got time for that now Transmit the message to the receiver Hope for an answer some day I got three passports, a couple of visas You don't even know my real name High on a hillside, the trucks are loading Everything's ready to roll I sleep in the daytime and I work in the nighttime I might not ever get home This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B I ain't got time for that now Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, P.A.? You oughta know not to stand by the window Somebody'll see up there I got some groceries, some peanut butter To last a couple of days But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones Ain't got no records to play Why stay in college? Why go to night school? Gonna be different this time Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard I ain't got time for that now Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock We blended in with the crowd We got computers, we're tapping phone lines I know that that ain't allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives Or in a suit and a tie I changed my hairstyle so many times now I don't know what I look like You make me shiver, I feel so tender We make a pretty good team Don't get exausted, I'll do some driving You ought to get you some sleep Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won't help me survive My chest is aching, burns like a furnace The burning keeps me alive

[@dougdrake6637]

And in a bizarre example of coincidence (or is it?), not long after this song was released, a very good friend called to tell me that they had found his dad in the swimming pool at hus brother's house the day before, and that he was going to have to take the next semester off from college to help his mom get her life (and his own) together. We lived in a small town, smoked pot, and listened to vinyl albums (and 8-tracls) because it was the 70's. That always freaks me out when I hear this song. I sm NOT making this atory up.
