Talking Heads were like a combination of New Wave & performance art. David Byrne is a TRUE artist, in every sense of the word. You need to be in that kind of mindset. He's really a musical genius, imo.

[brianh]

One thing for sure - the song is unique and unforgettable. :)

According to David Byrne’s own words, this song (“Once in a Lifetime”) is about how we, as people, tend to “operate half-awake or on autopilot”. Or perhaps a better way of explaining that statement is that we do not actually know why we engage in certain actions which come to define our lives. Thus even though an individual may fulfill certain aspirations, such as acquiring “a large automobile”, “beautiful house” and a “beautiful wife”, at the end of the day he may find himself questioning how he reached that destination and why.

[Cadinho]

I remember the singer David Bryne saying this song is about people who just go through life like zombies, just going through the motions and not taking time to enjoy the small things.

[FitFunAna]

This is my favourite Talking Heads song. And yes the contrast can be weird but it was always something I expected from them. For me this song was always about that moment of “what now?” We get the education, the career, the family - and we are consumed by “daily life” to the point that we let go or forget who we are. And at some point “when the money’s gone.” It can be a shock, not knowing who we are anymore. But there is still water flowing underground - something inside us waiting to be reconnected to, that helps lead and inspire us to find ourselves and our true joys again.

Not just one the best Talking Heads songs, but arguably one of the best songs of the 80s. David Byrne is truly an artist and this song sounds just as good today as it did 40 years ago. Listen to the song a few more times, absorb the message, and do yourself a favor and watch "Stop Making Sense, " their concert video - one of the best you'll ever see.

[hellokimmy]

Imagine being a 14 year old kid in the early 80s and you've never seen anything like this in your entire life. I like to credit Talking Heads with part of the reason I'm such an awesome weirdo now.

[ThaneOfEurmal]

This song has always been a musical Midlife Crisis to me - the dangers of sleeping through life, not thoroughly engaging, and realizing one day that you never really made the choices that led you to NOW. This and American Beauty have always been my "consciously choose" life mantras. The music is beautiful, but the lyrics have helped me stay in love with life. ❤

[GoodStuffForeverMore]

David Byrne is a performance artist! He doesn't just sing the song, he feels it, expresses it in a way that causes you to feel a sense of awkwardness, angst. He is projecting what is feels like to question and doubt your choices. So many of us just sleep walk through life. It is definitely bizarre and jarring the first time you are exposed to Talking Heads. It's usually a similar experience, for most people, when they are first exposed to Kate Bush. They are both incredible performance artists who are pioneers in what they do. Give it a little time and a few more listens. I think it will grow on you😍

[ellenphillips]

How can you not love that song! The "talking part" is what makes the song pure artistry! I've been singing "same as it ever was" since I was 6 years old. lol!

[terryb]

I'm an 80s Rock and Heavy Metal guy, but I definitely got into The Talking Heads!! I think they were genius instead of weird!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[Serai]

The Heads were all art students; that's where they met, in school. So their videos, their stage presence, their music, all are multi-layered and referential. Byrne has always been fascinated by older religions and spiritualities. The bits of film you see in the background of this video are recordings of rituals from different groups, notably santeros and Candomble. (Byrne eventually was initiated as a Candomble priest and has written a number of songs influenced by it.) His gestures call up not just the films (you can see him imitating the images in the background) but also movements typical of people who are "ridden" or possessed by the spirits. The other layer of the song that contrasts strongly is the lyrics, that talk of how people commonly just let their lives happen (letting the days go by, let the water hold me down) instead of taking charge of them, and then end up shocked and unmoored (well? how did I get here?) when they realize how far they are from where they started or saw themselves living. (This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife!) It's some deep stuff. Like I said, multi-layered. :)

[bobblowhard]

You may not have recognized it, but this song is pure genius. You have to really listen to it a few times. David Byrne is a musical genius.

[jasonsabbath]

To me, every Talking Heads song forces you to think and not just mindlessly listen. The older I get, the more I identify with the lyrics. I truly love hearing the songs now on a different level then when I was younger.

[danoi]

This is my favourite song of all time. I used to listen to this when I was a young man. I'm now 49, I have a beautiful wife, a beautiful house, a large automobile and I've found myself in another part of the world. I've never lived in a shotgun I do own a Wingmstar 870 !

[Don-lgoy]

Wow this reaction caught me off guard! Figured they’d love it! I was 10 years old back then when I heard it and it instantly had my attention. The music, vocals, and his movements. It’s a frickin’ classic…come on lol. 42 year old song and some are still not prepared for it. Mind blowing.

[bencorn]

An absolute favorite of mine. There is deep wisdom in this song.

[sieglindeeilserv]

From songfacts:

Some critics have suggested that "Once In A Lifetime" is a kind of prescient jab at the excesses of the 1980s. David Byrne says they're wrong; that the lyric is pretty much about what it says it's about. In an interview with NPR, Byrne said: "We're largely unconscious. You know, we operate half awake or on autopilot and end up, whatever, with a house and family and job and everything else, and we haven't really stopped to ask ourselves, 'How did I get here?'"

[mikekling]

Talking Heads were like the art school geniuses of music expression in the 80s! So experimental and mind altering! Love it! Please check out their songs "And She Was", "This Must Be The Place (Naïve Melody)", Road To Nowhere, Swamp, Slippery People, Stay Up Late, and Love → Building on Fire. Also revisit OINGO BOINGO!!

PS. J we all hope for a speedy recovery!! Keep smiling and healing!! 🎶🙏🎶

[debbiechang]

Jay is never gonna recover from “Rock Lobster” 😂😂😂. I love the B-52’s and these guys are definitely similar in many ways. 🌺✌️

[prankman]

This song deals with the futility of not being happy with the things you have. Like trying to remove the water at the bottom of the ocean, there's no way to stop life from moving on. The forces of nature (like the ocean) keep you moving almost without your conscious effort - David Byrne's choreography in the video was done by the Toni Basil, who had a hit as a singer with "Mickey."
