Hollywood Bowl

Last night we went to the Hollywood Bowl to see the beginning of the KCRW hosted series of concerts that will be performed there this summer. David Byrne was headlining and he was absolutely phenomenal! The below was my favorite song that David Byrne performs (from his Talking Head days), well, he performed it on Sunday night along with the band The Arcade Fire. They were rather good as well, although not my favorite of the opening acts. I preferred Sise, who had a more eclectic and worldly feel, not as dark sounding to me as The Arcade Fire.

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE (Naive Melody)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb- born with a weak heart
So I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go alone
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 good night

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 is 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
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...

It's really the music to this song that I wish you could hear, I'll have to figure out how to link it here. That really is my next step in growing as a blogger...creating hotlinks. Because the musci just swells aroung you from this song and makes you feel so happy, safe, and secrure. It's very optimistic music...of course a lot of David Byrne music feels that way to me. It makes my heart feel light. Billy Joel makes me feel that way too. I know people are giggling at me saying that, but it's very true. I used to put on "Second Wind" when I was crying or in a bad mood, because how could you possibley resist grinning when he sings, "You're only human, you're supposed to make mistakes", or some such sticky sweet nonsense. It pulls you back into the world. Back from the heartless, lonely, desolate brink and makes you a part of everything around you. I love that music has such power.
