I'm just an advertisement for a version of myself.

You can know or not know how a car runs and still enjoy riding in a car.

What's been missing from digital music sales has been the possibility of added depth.

When you fall in love, you feel like a missing piece of a puzzle that's been found.

I'm just wearing regular street clothes. Pretty much all the time. In the summertime, or when it gets warm out, shorts and sandals or something like that. Stuff that I don't mind getting a little sweaty.
David Byrne
Image
London's tempo is 122.86 beats per minute.
David Byrne
Image
It's like 60 Minutes on acid.
David Byrne
Image
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
David Byrne
Image
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne
Image
Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way.
David Byrne

I still feel like if I can get a song to work with, say, a basic beat, a rhythm, some chord changes, and a melody, a vocal melody - if it works with that, then I feel it's written and there's something there.
