| Talking Heads – The Big Country Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Arguably the finest "song" ever crafted; it is devoid of cant. I agree to some degree with the comment on New Yorkers and Los Angeleans. I read what Mr. Byrne had to say about this song years ago but his response sounded more like a "if you don't know, I'm not going to explain it" blowoff. For 35 years, I have found this tour de force to be an inscrutable work because it struck me as a work painstakingly written on what writers call the god plane. Persons who at one time or another have acted out a soul-searching full-circle human drama at the mercy of the wind would call this bottom-line straight thinking. | |
