Byrne, David - Home Lyrics






The dimming of the light makes the picture clearer
It's just an old photograph
There's nothing to hide
When the world was just beginning

I memorized a face so it's not forgotten
I hear the wind whistlin'
Come back anytime
And we'll mix our lives together
Heaven knows - what keeps mankind alive
Ev'ry hand - goes searching for its partner
In crime- under chairs and behind tables
Connecting - to places we have known

(I'm looking for a)
Home - where the wheels are turning
Home - why I keep returning
Home - where my world is breaking in two
Home - with the neighbors fighting
Home - always so exciting
Home - were my parents telling the truth?
Home - such a funny feeling
Home - no one ever speaking
Home - with our bodies touching
Home - and the cam'ras watching
Home - will infect what ever you do
We're Home - comes to life from outa the blue

Tiny little boats on a beach at sunset
I took a drink from a jar
And into my head
Familiar smells and flavors

Vehicles are stuck on the plains of heaven
I see their wheels spinning round
And ev'rywhere
I can hear those people saying

That the eye - is the measure of the man
You can fly - from the stuff that still surrounds you
We're home - and the band keeps marchin' on
Connecting - to ev'ry living soul
Compassion - for things I'll never know

Byrne, David Home Comments
  1. N.... D....

    Fuck Wall Street sideways, this is a great song on its own and the video content is an amazing architectural tour, to understate. Then I'm here cuz I love David Byrne's music

  2. J.... W....

    I can hear Eno's voice pretty clear in this song and I just love his voice.. I love Byrne's and its obviously more unique and better, but I've grown to really like Eno's

  3. b.... ....

    Wall Street brought me here but this band is super pimp and has lots of other GREAT songs!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  4. A.... P....

    Thumbs up for the neat homes in which humans dwell.

  5. t.... .....

    "we'll infect anything you'll do ..."

  6. a.... k....

    wowww , wired funny / Amazing ? But I got throwen back & forth in times thinking its an different version of Simon & Garfunkel"s Classic " Bridge over troubled Waters " Eno&Byrne rules...

  7. B.... K....

    Finally i got this song thank you "WS" MNS

  8. R.... E....

    There's nothing to hide, when the world was just beginning. Awesome thoughts, makes me feel how children are with all their honest love, and pure joy of fun.

  9. A.... A....

    Greed Is Good - Gordon Gecko brought me here....

  10. w.... ....

    The weird part about this song is that is sounds like a bunch of different well-known songs. I don't even care.

  11. L.... M....

    Fabulous choice of pics for this! I had never heard of these guys until now. Or at least that I was aware. Very poignant song. Thank you!😃

  12. j.... b....

  13. A.... D....

    A HOMEEE WHERE I KEEP RETURNING
    hits me hard.

  14. S.... N....

    I thought this might be Roy Orbison when I watched the movie "Wall Street money never sleeps", becourse one in a while it sounded like Orbison and one in a while it did not...song "hit me" right away, maybe it was already "in my head" because of the talking heads version

  15. M.... N....

    The essence of empathy:

    "Connecting to every living soul;
    compassion for things I'll never know."

  16. M.... A....

    Money Never Sleep. Netflix.

  17. C.... W....

    Wall Street money never sleeps Gecko is back

  18. M.... S....

    Refletindo.....

  19. E.... B....

    The genius that is David Byrne has a way of subtly reminders of who we are and how small we are. I am always amazed at how this little quirky guy we think of in Talking Heads MTV vids, the parodied movements still seen on late night talk shows? Underneath lies one of the most relevant lyrical thinkers of the last century. When Byrne decides to really touch us, we feel it. I don't have a single cd, or anything that a fan would have, but I am moved to emotions and reflection from this and his other masterpieces. Truly a great, much understated talent. Like all before him who matter, his art will not be appreciated until he is gone. I think Mr Byrne wants to leave exactly what he will, a legacy. Yes my comment is a bit deeper than seems appropriate, but so is the message delivered in Home. Pardon me I must listen once more while I'm thinking about it.

  20. G.... P....

    Sounds like an excellent Eno song, but I think Mr. Sociopathic Byrne has turned it completely vulgar. In this case he can't even convey the original message properly. This is not a Talking Heads song. It's a song that Bryan Eno could sing much more tastefully, and with much better sensitivity. The music I'm referring to is on the album Taking Tiger Mountain by Storm. Listen to it, surprise yourself, and learn the difference.

  21. b.... d....

    Beautiful guitar work....

  22. V.... T....

    love it.

  23. T.... S....

    Sehr gute Musik.

  25. H.... ....

  26. T.... ....

    This song fuckin sucks this soundtrack nearly destroyed a good movie fuck outta here with this pansy ass music

  27. d.... ....

    I forgot to mention that the song is beautiful and addictive.

  28. d.... ....

    This song has a Brian Eno sort of print that appears in U2 "So cruel" from "Achtung baby".

  29. C.... F....

    Beauteous !

  30. A.... M....

    How many of these photos are real and how many are Photoshopped?

  31. y.... ....

    Straddling stasis and motion in last image :D

  32. t.... .....

    merveilleuse chanson de Brian Eno et David Byrne

  33. M.... C....

    Thanks for lyrics, God bless you so much!

  34. R.... D....

    I'd kinda like to know how 118 people could give this a nix. It's art rock,

    R.... D....

  39. T.... D....

    No, anglia square should be preserved, the council at the moment is preoccupied with knocking buildings down, why?

  40. s.... l....

    my favorite of velvet <3

  41. s.... i....

    David e' uno dei pochi artisti veramente poliedrici, che accomuna costoro una peculiarita': romans

  42. G.... O....

    Sounds like certain parts in The sounds of silence by Simon & Garfunkel.

  43. B.... M....

    that guitar sound is so freaking dirty ... raw .. aaah why so serious?! :D

  44. p.... ....

    Money never sleep Soundtrack :)

  45. r.... ....

    Brian, tengo tantos años como tu; te sigo desde el primer lp; siempre me gustó tu maravillosa musica y tu voz; pero si no nos dejas escuchar tus melodias a la gente que no podemos pagar dinero. Nunca seras un heroe.

  46. G.... P....

    semplicemente meravigliosa...c'è tutto il genio di David Byrne

  47. r.... w....

    yeah baby ;)

  48. s.... s....

  55. H.... K....

    awesome

  56. J.... S....

    Great video and good song! Like it!

  57. c.... h....

    Prophetic. Is this song about me or am I about it?....

    Yeah. Think about that shit, YouTube people.

    c.... h....

    YOU are a "YouTube" Person...So careful who you Pigeon-Hole...But yeah, if you were born Before this song then you are about "It"...If you were born After this song came out, "It" is about you...

  58. E.... M....

    Nice!!!!
    Es la misma canción del comienzo de "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps"?

  59. g.... ....

    Very prophetic song especially at the end of 'Wallstreet 2: Money Never Sleeps" , it just made you stay in 'your seat' and admire its beauty, as Gordon Gekco (Michael Douglas's role) was being hauled off the jail 'again'. One, wonders if this song will again be 'playing' after either Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump lose the big Election.

    g.... ....

    He wasn't hauled off to jail in second movie was he? That was Josh Brolin.

    g.... ....

    gjmaztr7 yes I was about to say it was Josh Brolin who was sent to jail not Gordon Gecko, Gecko was actually somewhat the good guy in the second movie.

  60. H.... M....

    Amazing...

  61. A.... ....

    00:57 reminds me of The Sound of Silence: "And the vision that was planted in my brain"

    A.... ....

    also very like Simon and Garfunkel's Homeward Bound..

    A.... ....

    Wow, I picked up on the 'Homeward Bound" similarities pretty quickly, but I never realized until reading this comment that it does sound a bit like "The Sound of Silence..." It's pretty subtle to me. A very pleasing melody- I love this song a lot.

    A.... ....

    I thought the same.

    A.... ....

    To me it reminds of "So cruel".Quite logic because Brian Eno was involved in "Achtung baby" of U2.

    A.... ....

    oh yeah that is true it reminds me either

  62. J.... S....

    Wall Street brought me here .

    J.... S....

    Fuck Wall Street. Dirty Jew.

    J.... S....

    Sam Estron
    He means the movie, you idiot.
    This song is from Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps.
    Don’t be such an asshole.

  63. M.... T....

    I keep listening to this album, and every time it makes more grooves in my brain... soon I will assimilate it and it will transform me. One can only hope. So so so beautiful. ♥

    M.... T....

  64. F.... S....

    for one moment I red David Bowie

    F.... S....

    +Loipoi Xaxia Haha.. me too.

    F.... S....

    +Loipoi Xaxia I think that David Byrne and david bowie were inspired by each other, or i'm just high.

    F.... S....

    @zeranzeran you are high and you should also change your bong water once in a while.

    F.... S....

    I am high as fuck, but I'm still right sir

  65. M.... M....

    siempre ahi un silençii

  66. J.... M....

    Seriously, I want this playing at whatever funeral I may have....incredible....

    J.... M....

    I've chosen "Pop Goes the Weasel" but it will be an empty plain pine box. Hidden cameras will be planted

  67. m.... F....

    just great ! 👪

  68. D.... J....

    dobre, good

  69. G.... B....

    'Compassion for things I'll never know.' Excellent track, stacked to the rafters with pathos and great harmonies

  70. l.... ....

    brilliant musician.

  71. X.... V....

    the inspiring  master for centuaries

  72. K.... M....

    The brilliance of Brian Eno... 3 chords, a simple melody pitched in a high key. I can't get David Byrne's rendition out of my mind.

    K.... M....

    Ken could you tell me the chords please

  73. v.... ....

    0:56 onward sounds like the sound of silence

    v.... ....

    +Michael Tendler Maybe because he was just off collaborating with Paul Simon. Who cares, this is better than both.

    v.... ....

    +Jack Shelley No I didn't mean that. Just diffenent, but better for me!!

    v.... ....

    Veritaseros no, sound of silence sounds likes this. This was released 7 years before sound of silence

  74. P.... B....

    The architectures and words are a perfect match.

  75. A.... ....

    Brian Eno inspired Buffalo Bill

    A.... ....

    @crwilso6 Brian Eno inspired everything in the last 20 years.

    A.... ....

    @ZeranZeran People say that about Guns N Roses, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Miami Vice, and so on.
