Songs To Love: TALKING HEADS : ROAD TO NOWHERE
I love this song. From the gospel choir-ish intro to the galloping drum pattern this song is as original as it gets but then that is the Talking Heads for you. David Byrne has one of the most distinctive voices and artistic visions in music and this song about futility and death feels happy with zydeco type rhythms and flavors. It is a dark joke within a really cool song.
