"Home is where I want to be, but I guess I'm already there" What a great line.

David Byrne's idea of a "love song" It's called Naive Melody because the bass and lead are repeating an ostinato for the entire song. Byrne said professional musicians wouldn't play a song written in that fashion, hence the melody being naive. One of their greatest compositions ever.

If heaven has an elevator, I hope this is playing.

As someone once said "it doesn't get any better than this, not even the same band playing the same song. God was in the studio that night"

[goulash]

Why do I love this song so much? It's like some other-worldly ecstasy I feel and sometimes I cry. I just love it. It moves my insides around. Thanks David Byrne.

Every verse of this one is just packed with lyrics most songwriters would kill for. It's something else.

"I feel numb, born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun"

"And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time"

"There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I'll be"

Seriously. How do you even?

[mattiasgraff]

This song makes me so happy and sad at the same time

[AKUAKU]

I’m drunk as hell singing along to this on New Years night, I hope everyone who sees this has an amazing decade ahead of them you are all beautiful

[jjfromtexas]

It’s 2024 and I’m still jammin this classic ❤️

[comentakeit]

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong... nothing

Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight... say good night

Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home - she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time
Before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be... where I'll be

Hi yo
We drift in and out
Hi yo
Sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home and,
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head
Ah ooh

Im autistic and this song is one of the few that pulls me out of a shutdown/meltdown or prevents one. Its almost instantaneous.

This song has been an intimate favorite since I first heard it as a struggling depressed college student. I got to see the band on tour in Lexington KY - a highlight of my young life. As a good musical mom I introduced my children to their music. And then my son tragically died at age 20 in a wilderness accident. I wrote out the lyrics on special paper and sang it over him and then tucked it into a niche in the rocks near his final momentarily alive place on earth. I’m hoping it will also be my farewell song.

Lol. This was hubby n my “first dance” at our reception when we were married in 1985. So funny to watch reactions of all guests who were expecting Elvis or something. He and I have never second guessed “our song.”

[FossilHntr]

My funeral song! Thanks Talking Heads! ❤

[anthonyveltri]

This song legit makes me cry everytime I listen to it.

[TB]

The best song ever written, lyrically, musically.

My kids will play this at my funeral, as long as I get there on time.

Make it up as we go along.

[louisal-arab]

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb, burn with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong... nothing
Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up + say goodnight... say goodnight
...
Home, is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be where I'll be
Hi yo we drift in…

[leahkoval]

I believe this is my most favorite song by Talking Heads

[ecitraro]

I listened to this song a million times in my 20s. Still think it’s the most romantic song ever written. Sing into my mouth...

"Home is where I want to be
but I guess I'm already there"
