WALK THE MOON - Burning Down The House Lyrics

Sorry I'm late. WOW.

Incredible cover! Great creativity and passion!

Outstanding. Best live cover of this song yet. Second only to the Heads themselves.

This is fucking cool 🤘

Wish i was there, a powerful song , awesome!

This should be the new direction they take

I talked to all of the other people going to Pride in Pittsburgh and we agreed that you should play this cover. ❤
***update***
Pittsburgh thanks you! just... wow! So much love for you! Amazing show tonight ❤❤❤❤❤

So much better than the original version! I could listen to this all day!

holy crap this was FANTASTIC. I never thought a cover could be THIS good!!

🔥🌪

Its confirmed... You are now my favorite band. You guys should consider playing this again live, say tomorrow in Grand Rapids. Lol

Not bad. Not bad at all.

*Anyone? 2018!?*

This is better than the original. WOW,,

Wow!!! I'm blown away! ❤

This is one of my go-to karaoke jams, whenever I wanna' get asses movin'.

Bo Burnham lookin good these days

Pretty cool even though he sang the wrong lyrics.

Still amazing four decades on: ALL HAIL TALKING HEADS!!!

Wouldn't it be appropriate to mention Talking Heads in the description at least? Well done covering the song, anyway.

It's fun when indie pop fans are forced to actually dance

A UnFking believable performance! This is one of my favorite videos - already listened 6 times in a row. Nick's vocals are off the charts as are the other band members and amazing how in sync they are, truly gifted musicians.

I remember when my mum would play talking heads and when hearing this I couldn't stop dancing

I just watched Walk the Moon cover Talking Heads on Christmas morning- Christmas is off to a great start! I'm sure Stop Making Sense will be the music over board games with my family later (it usually is), and I'm looking forward to seeing Walk the Moon in DC soon!

hope you sing this in phx brings back old memories saw them here in the 80's. jill smothers see you at the van buen

Talking heads!!! Seriously guys, is there nothing you can't do??!
( sorry for my double negative but that's how effing awesome you are 🤓)

They look and sound awesome!

if i dont see it i dont believe it!!!!! these guys are AMAZINGGGGG

great band..but I'm here as a 90s "kid" to tell u they sampled U2 on their smash hit...and fucked uplyrics here...great band...I gues??

They didn't fuck up any lyrics, changed em maybe. Also they didn't actually sample a U2 song. It's the notes from Where the Streets Have No Name and the arpeggio from the live version of A Sort of Homecoming, but it isn't exactly the same as either.

tg72211 i noticed it immediately..clearly that song wouldnt have been written if streets have no nanes wasnt..cmon..its obvious to massive music fans like me, prob not their fan base tho..i hope they paid royalties to U2..they 100% should be

"strange but not a stranger" talking heads are so fuckn cool...when bands were over here talking heads were waaay over there...very unique band way ahead of their time...david byrne is the definition of an artist

that's about as cool as a cover as u will EVER see

I saw these guys and my god... they need bigger venues though, this guys voice is amazing and could fill a large venue easily. Cough* cough* woodlands pavilion h-town cough* cough*

Damn this is sick.

This cover blows the original out of the water so hard...

I'm an ordinary guy, burning down the house

HOLY SHIT THIS IS A GOOD COVER!! GODDAMN

Ace cover. You guys killed it. Fantastic video and audio production too.

Nice cover, but it's written nowhere that this is actually a Talking Heads composition (from 1983).

best cover of this song I've heard

Now this is what a cover is suppose to be. A lot of the original and just throwing in a bit of your own stuff. Fucking brilliant

I speed read like shit......you tricked me :(

I would never have described a keyboard performance as "raw" before this. If they were doing a studio version of this in today's music industry, that would never be allowed. All the rough edges and powerful attacks would be fixed by producers who want to make it perfect. Perfection is the enemy of good music.

His voice is... Magical

this is the sole redeeming quality of this band. that was a good cover. undoubtably. haha

Einfach nur geil!!!!!

Oh wow, I heard these guys do a cover of this same song in Santa Barbara!

Meh ... That synth part sucks bigtime. No Wally, no p5. Hahahaha

nick is a vocal powerhouse

Gaga broughtme here! 😎

Cover, more like a complete rip off of the Talking Heads Live "Stop Making Sense Tour. Where's the talent in that????

+Sandy Mac They are massive massive fans of the Talking Heads, and are absolutely unapologetic of that. Imitation is the finest form of flattery.

its just really weird to hear this song actually sung ha nice job tho omg

I'm sorry Walk The Moon. Please take me back. I discredited you because my sister was annoyingly obsessesed with one of your songs with pop appeal... I thought you were a crap band... and then I'm listening to the Heads and I find this I have to admit you have talent and I am interested. In fact now that I recall that song was pretty good before it was repeated ad naseum. Sorry. Might be a fan now.

SwordLily they really are one of the best bands live. A lot of my friends don’t care for their style or have never heard of them but loved the live show I had tickets for. They entertain so well.

This shows their true potential. This band should try some heavier and darker stuff. He's got the voice.

Check out their new song, Headphones. It's definitely heavier.

And pretty cool.

he rocks it--you go Nick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now this is how you do a cover

i love it
give me more
such a beautiful voices OMGGG

GREAT, how covers should be. ..

This is so good, holy crap. 🙌

can't wait for the next Album.

I'm not a huge Walk the Moon fan, they're a bit too pop-y for me but I would see them live just to hear them cover this song, it's one of the best I've heard. I also agree someone said they sound better live then studio & have to agree. His voice has an amazing gravel, very nice

Do it. They played at Buffalo’s Kerfuffle festival and they played this song. A seas of people slam dancing and bellowing out all the words. I was in heaven

I dont know what to say besides THIS IS LIKE REALLY AWESOME I MIGHT DIEEEEEEEEEEE O.O

great cover!

amazing🙌

now this is what I like to see, an actual band, these guys have got it! I'm in love :D

Awesome cover

fucccckckckckck THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
who just turned up their speakers?? :PPPP

I love them, they are a very lively crew.

Can't wait till I see them in October in la

+@D-Aeyd3n 4 more days until the concert at The Greek

This is so rock and roll!!!!!
Did you right this song?

While I prefer the original, I have to say they did a really good job. I like it.

Depressing. Not bad for a cover band, but they're really missing the vibe of the era they're struggling to copy. Go ahead and hate. I'm right. And depressed that suckers buy this.

The Talking Heads would be incredibly disappointed if they were just trying to emulate their 80s sound. It's obvious that you're the sucker who would rather have music remain stagnant and get stale.

I love this band. They don't get enough credit it's amazing they can do this stuff live.

I love how Nick gets so into it

okay I am sold you can sing live and are this good when you and mates come to Pittsburgh I am going

Luv this group!  Hopefully, I'll see you at an airport nearby!

HOLY SHIT THEY COVER DAVID BYRNE?!?

I know this is a little different than their usual sound, but they should produce originals with this kind of vibe. Nick has an incredible power behind his voice that we never get to hear the full extent of. The band as a whole is underrated, but he's even more so as a vocalist. Someone with as much range, clarity and strength as he has in his voice is extremely rare

<3 Nick

jesus these are amazing vocals. is he really singing like this live?

+nuncaleite The thing I love about Nick is that he really knows how to sing in different styles and play around with his vocals. It's super cool. He can go from rock and roll to whistle tones in 2 seconds.

+nuncaleite I think so! He's phenomenal.

Yes! They are one of the best bands to see live. They entertain so well. Even people who don’t like them agree with that.

He s got nice sound to vocals but sometimes he goes flat, sometimes he just breaks into falsetto. His lows are nice but he cannot control his highs

Watch the live version of The Talking Heads performing this song. No comparison.

1:19 for a short moment i thought that was ben affleck O.o

+Biathletin Birdy Kevin does sort of look like him. Haha! It's funny how you noticed that.

@_@ ♡

Shoutout to homegirl @1:00 for being the only person who knows the lyrics in the audience

these guys got it. they really got it. so many shit bands today. good to see somebody still nailing the vibe that this song had.

I love that song

I've never heard him sing like that. That was awesome!

IS AWESOME I'M YOU'RE BIGGEST FAN!!!!!!!!!! I have heard shut up and dance

Holy Shit! I'm an Aussie... and that is THE best cover!

Can't stop listening to this cover! 😝

The ver left one has a Detroit Tiger baseball hat I played for them

This is probably one of the better covers I've heard, being that it's live is even more impressive. They stayed true to the song when so many don't in covers. I'd like to hear them cut it in the studio.

Saw them live in Albuquerque (it was their first time) on May 6th  and it was insanely awesome. The energy in their performance and music is epic. Im pretty sure I cried at some point during the show.

OMG!..I don´t say this too often. Absolutelly love this fresh cover with many energy from classics Talking Heads.
I cant stop staring and listening!

Arb hhhhhhh smoke weed every day

Woww...I was just saying how these guys have this neo 80's pop feel.
Than they do this awesome cover of burning down the house .

I'm digging this ...

@WorldWearyAngel​

I was real into Rage Against The Machine and Limp Bizkit than I got into Linkin Park & p.o.d. .
It's funny before any of these groups did any crossover hip hop & rock medleys , I use to bump them next to NWA, WuTang, 2Pac, DMX, Ruff Ryders and the Lox's . 

+Reggie B I thought the same thing.

When Talking Heads performed this song live for Stop Making Sense, there are three people playing keys/synth – Nick does it all by himself here AND sings AND plays percussion; TH had a nine-piece band! I think it's a great cover and a nice tribute from a band who are obviously big fans (they've also covered Naive Melody many times). Why so much hate?

Not bad but too bad he sang the wrong lyrics.

@Max Hess you don't know what you're talking about they did a great job covering the song. They put their own spin on it and that was the idea not to sound exactly like the Talking Heads and they pulled it off I'm a huge fan of this group and also the Talking Heads cuz I grew up in the 80s
