It's funny how some songs from the 1980s look increasingly idiotic as time passes, but some still hold up well - and maybe even seem to mean more, as we gain maturity.



I think this Talking Heads song is one of the best ways of capturing the puzzlement that someone in midlife feels. (Or at least, in the cases where someone=me). Where you walk around asking yourself, "How do I work this?" and "Well, how did I get here?" when you should really probably be looking at the flowing water instead.

The song makes more sense to me now than it did when I was in high school.
