| Talking Heads – Heaven Lyrics | 13 years ago |

"Everyone is trying to get to the bar." That has two meanings. You have the bar to which you go for a drink, or the bar that you have to reach or pass for success. Think of a high jump or a bar exam. I have always thought of this as a very romantic song. When you first start dating someone, every meeting has to have some kind of event tied to it: a movie, dinner, or a show. I remember telling my new girlfriend at the time that I looked forward to doing the boring things with her, where you do not have to dress up, buy tickets, and show off. Times where you can just stay home and watch TV or play cards, and just enjoy each other's company. "Its hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so exciting, could be so much fun." It's like Heaven. |
