Talking Heads — Love → Building on Fire
from Love → Building on Fire 7” b/w ‘New Feeling’ (1977)
Hadn’t heard this before—the first single by Byrne & Co., released in Feb 1977, seven months before their debut LP, Talking Heads: 77. (This track didn’t appear on the LP until the 2005 reissue, whereas the b-side ‘New Feeling’ did get a spot on the original release.)
Characteristically strange and lovely Byrne lyrics. Again, the obsession with buildings!
Been listening to this on repeat lately. Infectious.
It’s not love, which is my face, which is a building, which is on fire.
Greatest weird song ever. Or weirdest great song ever.
