David Byrne - Road to Nowhere (Live at Union Chapel)[18/18]

"Road to Nowhere" is a song by Talking Heads, from the 1985 album Little Creatures. It also appeared on Best of Talking Heads, Sand in the Vaseline: Popular Favorites, the Once in a Lifetime box set and the Brick box set. The song was released as a single in 1985 and reached number 25 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks and number 6 in the British singles chart. It also made #8 on the Dutch Top 40.

The video, released to promote the single, was directed by David Byrne and Stephen R. Johnson and features the band and various objects revolving, as if in their own "road to nowhere," and it was nominated for "Best Video of the Year" at the MTV Video Music Awards 1986.

According to the sleeve of Talking Heads compilation Once in a Lifetime, Byrne added the choral intro after deciding the song in itself was embarrassingly simplistic and monotonous

DAVID BYRNE LIVE AT UNION CHAPEL

Recorded live at Union Chapel, London, 2002 during the Lazy Eyeball tour — complete concert footage featuring DB backed by a full band and the Tosca Strings.

"Byrne is at the central point of pop, where his dental wail and lyrical pranks can wreak the maximum mental havoc." 

(The Guardian)

"A Performance that underscores Byrne's remarkable ear for skewed but unmistakably pop melodies"

(Rolling Stone)
