ABOUT THE SONG

I must acknowledge this song by Talking Heads as it shares the title of my show -  And is so apt! The lyrics are lovely… and quite long … so I’m ripping out a few precious lines – with apologies to Mr Byrne.

Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky…

I got plenty of time
You got light in your eyes…
Never for money, always for love…

Home, is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there 
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place…

There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I'll be.

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE, TALKING HEADS. SONGWRITERS BYRNE, DAVID/WEYMOUTH, TINA/HARRISON, JERRY/FRANTZ

And mmm - I just discovered these videos - a couple of awesome covers and the real deal. Now lets see if I can get someone to perform this at my exhibition opening....

The Lumineers! Love this video too...
