Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime


Music Appreciation

Named one of the most important American musical works of the 20th Century, David Byrne's and Talking Head's "Once in a Lifetime," was released on February 2, 1981.

I remember watching this music video on MTV, when I was young. Back then, I thought the video was a bit disturbing to watch Byrne dancing with convulsions to lyrics that didn't make sense.

It wasn't until my adult life when this song started to make a whole lot of sense.

Sometimes we find ourselves with everything we need and want, but we're still unsatisfied. We want more and more. In the process, we're missing out on living life with what we've got.
