Talking Heads - "And She Was"


A happy little song about flying away from life, even if it's with chemical assistance.  David said he wrote the song about "a blissed-out hippie-chick in Baltimore [where he grew up].  She once told me that she used to do acid (the drug, not music) and lay down on the field by the Yoo-hoo chocolate soda factory. Flying out of her body, etc etc. It seemed like such a tacky kind of transcendence… but it was real! A new kind of religion being born out of heaps of rusted cars and fast food joints. And this girl was flying above it all, but in it too."

Music may be my drug of choice, but getting away from the world every once in a while is a necessary and wonderful thing.

"And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions"
