Never one to shy away from adding his own signature style to a song, David Byrne has been known to drop a cracking cover or two. This 1990 cover of Cole Porter’s song took a special place on Byrne’s early solo album Red Hot +Blue. Whether it’s arthouse or not, Byrne is always poking fun at himself. This track is more proof that smirking wit is cent...
Though Byrne has an infectious sense of fun that runs through his work, he is also more than capable of delivering a wonderfully sombre ballad. This song is certainly one of Byrne’s more melancholy pieces, and, because of it, it shines brightly among his other work. ‘A Long Time Ago’ from Byrne’s self-titled solo record from 1994 allows the singer ...
Byrne may well have cut his teeth in the depths of the no-nonsense new wave but he soon developed a taste for the elaborate arrangements of classical music. As part of Feelingsfrom 1997, Byrne allowed a sumptuous string section to tell the story of mortality with stunning directness. Although, should we expect anything less from Byrne than directne...
We’re going to let you in on a little secret, The Brighton Port Authority is actually just Fatboy Slim in a shack by the seaside — but that doesn’t mean that he and Byrne aren’t capable of providing a kinkier-than-sex track. Stream the lively dance number from 2008 below and listen out for Dizzee Rascal’s verse too. It’s one of Byrne’s more adventu...
Taken from the band’s 1985 album Little Creaturesthe song was another extension of Byrne’s increasing art-driven post-modern vision. While some pursuits of pop had seen the band fall short, on ‘And She Was’, Byrne delivers a straight-up pop song. Powered by classic rock chords, Byrne’s lyrics add some extra colour to the track, while much of the so...
David Byrne and Brian Eno would find kindred spirits in one another when they first met in the mid-seventies. As well as working together on some of the band’s seminal moments they also combined on this track. ‘Strange Overtones’ appears on Byrne’s 2008 record Everything That Happens Will Happen Todayand is a shining example of their partnership. E...
By the release of the Talking Heads’ final album, Naked, the writing had been on the wall for the band for some time. Hostility between Frantz, Weymouth and Byrne had become unbearable and the clear signs that it would all be over were there for everybody to see. While much of Naked can be forgotten, the album did produce one last hit record, the b...
De La Soul are a band who are genuinely infatuated with David Byrne. Most rap groups will cherry-pick their ’80s flavour but De La Soul are all in on Byrne. Posdnuos, Trugoy, and Maseo jumped at the chance to work alongside the Talking Heads man. The snaky new wave sound on ‘Snoopies’ not only gives Byrne his own verse and the hook but a quick remi...
‘Cities’ may well seem a relatively straightforward track about searching for somewhere to settle in life. The song even talks about the pros and cons of living in a particular area: “Look over there, dry ice factory / good place to get some thinking done,” he sings, but the song is much deeper than that. As well as addressing mental health, it’s a...
If you were looking for a counterpart for David Byrne in modern music you wouldn’t go far wrong in pickingSt. Vincent, AKA Annie Clark. The mercurial singer has done her fair share of genre-bending and her collaboration with Byrne proves they’re on the same page. The horn-driven foot-stomper is a guaranteed party starter and sees Byrne perhaps meet...
In addition, three songs were performed with David Byrne as a guest singer: two takes of "Let the Mystery Be" (one of which was released as a B-side to "Few and Far Between" and reissued on Campfire Songs: The Popular, Obscure and Unknown Recordings of 10,000 Maniacs), Dolly Parton's "Jolene" and "Dallas".
