Listening Wind (Talking Heads)

Показать описание
One of my favourite songs of one of my favourite bands, from the still outstanding album "Remain in Light". The lyrics are still valid - unfortunately... (see below)

Listening Wind

Mojique sees his village from a nearby hill
Mojique thinks of days before Americans came
He sees the foreigners in growing numbers
He sees the foreigners in fancy houses
He thinks of days that he can still remember now

Mojique holds a package in his quivering hands
Mojique sends the package to the American man
Softly he glides along the streets and alleys
Up comes the wind that makes them run for cover
He feels the time is surely now or never more

The wind in my heart
The dust in my head
The wind in my heart
Will drive them away

Mojique buys equipment in the marketplace
Mojique plants devices through the free trade zone
He feels the wind is lifting up his people
He calls the wind to guide him on his mission
He knows his friend the wind is always standing by

Mojique smells the wind that comes from far away
Mojique waits for news in a quiet place
He feels the presence of the wind around him
He feels the power of the past behind him
He has the knowledge of the wind to guide him on

Exceptional song! Current, scathing, an example of refined and unique music. Very good. Thanks sir. Byrne and Sir. Kolbe

(...sadly, amazingly prophetic .... ) Always loved this song, the groove. (at least I have another "Best song to cry to"... ;-( When TH expanded their 'circle of friends' (b.e.), all sorts of cool weird period if you expected to see Heads 77....

Fantastic! What a brilliant interpretation of my favorite Talking Heads song. Really beautiful. You distilled the essence of that song in an equally moving and lyrical way. Thank you!!!

Wow...this song has unfolded a kind of magic when I was a teenager that never stopped, till today. Now in my early 50ies I am working on a cover version, which is not so easy ... and I find, this one has really captured some of the magic of the original version without being a copy or a "dance bla...". Congrats, very skillfull, souvereign and with lots of feeling and vibe covered ... !

Extremely Well Done! All aspects are great and this quality should garner way more positive attention. I wish this song wasn't perfectly relevant today.

Wasn't expecting much from a cover of this obscure (albeit genius) TH track, but this is really excellent. Well done. I heard Byrne play it live in late '90s; I can't imagine he wouldn't dig your take on it.

There's a bunch of covers of this song on youtube, and this one is by far my favorite. Nailed it. Great video, too. Really well done.

Hey! Amazing mix! I like it a lot..Brian and the guys in the studio would be proud 🙂

Hey ich würde selber sagen das Brian selber stolz sein würde! Tut mir leid aber mein Deutsch ist nicht meine erste Sprache. Aber ich will trotzdem Mal sagen das du genau so wie Brian aussiehst
