Negative Positive
Title: Loved it then, still do now.
Review: Okay, I admit that I had never heard of Talking Heads before the single "Once in a Lifetime", but I loved this album. Quirky? Yes. Poppy? Yes. Humour a bit jouvenile? Definitely, but then so was I when I first it.This is not so much a review as a comment. I wonder whether there is a darker meaning to "And She Was", which most people have missed, and which juxtaposes with the cutesy melody. "And she was" - i.e. was, in the past tense. And now isn't. "No time to think about what she's done," "Rising up above the earth." "Joining the world of missing persons", etc. I've seen it interpreted as a love song, or as nonsense verse, but is it about a suicide?
Is the review positive or negative?
