It's not yesterday anymore
I go visiting, I talk loud
I talk to make myself clear
In front of a face that's nearer
Than it's ever been before, not this close before
Nearer than before, not this close before
It is, is a million years ago
I hear music, it sounds like bells
I feel like my head is high
I wish I could meet every one
Meet them all over again
And bring them up to my room
Meet them all over again
Everyone's up in my room
And now, now I'm busy, busy again
I feel like sitting down but
I'm still thinking, thinking about my friends
In my guarded moments
But now I'm speaking out
Speaking about my friends
But now I'm speaking out
Thinking about my friends

Talking Heads

Ground-breaking rock band Talking Heads is arguably one of the most influential bands of all time. Spearheaded by their slightly crazy lead singer David Byrne, they were at the forefront of the New Wave movement.

The band was formed in 1974 by Byrne and drummer Chris Frantz. Frantz’s then-girlfriend-later-wife Tina Weymouth was quickly recruited to play bass. After a few recordings and performances, guitarist/keyboardist Jerry Harrison was hired to round out the group.

Their first album, Talking 77, was appropriately released in 1977. It quickly received critical acclaim.
