Talking Heads: This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)

Talking Heads along with their entourage from the early 1980's, that we grew to like and admire after their amazing act in "Stop Making Sense" all appear in this video for "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody") where they watch some home videos of themselves on a projector and later on perform their act inside a small basement that doesn't somehow they manage to fit.

A lovely intimate moment of the group having a fun time both during their musical act and also in between laughs and admiration for each other as they view themselves on the screen. But David Byrne "stealing" the cookie before the performance was hilarious. The song? Catchy, groovy and fun to hear it over and over. A pity that it's a little cut since the instrumental bit at the opening is a little prolongued, but doesn't hurt the whole experience.

Far from the kitsch and the almost surreal spectacle of their other music videos, the Heads makes of this a charming and enjoyable view of themselves, just relaxing and doing what they like. After all, "home is where I want to be." 9/10.
