Music Monday: Once In a Lifetime

"Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down,
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground,
Into the blue again/in the silent water,
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground."



I remember loving this song as a middle school student as much for the video from the Talking Heads concert movie Stop Making Sense wherein lead singer David Byrne was running around stage in "the big suit," as for the music.

Like books read and not understood in youth, when I heard this song on the radio last week I realized how much meaning is in the lyrics that the thirteen-year-old Scotty never heard or felt...

Embrassez votre été invincible!

Hi Scotty!

I too have favorite songs I loved back in the day, but love even more once I realized how much meaning the lyrics hold. :)

It's the first time I've heard of this song.. and I love it! It's soooo contagious! Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this. I'm gonna find it and put it on my iTunes! :)
