St. Augustine on time, “This time is longer than that,” or, more precisely, “This is twice as long as that.” I know that I am measuring time. But I am not measuring the future, for it is not yet; and I am not measuring the present because it is extended by no length; and I am not measuring the past because it no longer is. What is it, therefore, that I am measuring? Is it time in its passage, but not time past?”

I was just learning to live. 26 years old and working with the best friends I've ever had, also my bosses. Had a fungi connect in California and the whole next year was a celebration of me being re born. That was 40 fkn years ago.... This song puts me right back on lower Broadway Street and cruising east Tennessee with my woman and a headful. Beautiful state, beautiful people... The beautiful people...

This song really has a positive message [about marriage and staying together] and not many people do that these days. I have liked this song for a long time.

A few years ago I suffered from a very traumatic experience, recently a few days ago, I've been finding myself reliving the traumatic experience over and over again, and I decided to put on this song and it made me feel as though everything is going to be alright, and has helped me to move past this trauma, and so I've been listening to this song nonstop and I'm feeling happier. Thank you David Byrne and the rest of the Talking Heads, I don't know what you did with this song, but it's really helped me out.

Give a break. They are a BRILLIANT band. David Byrne is a literally genius who has gifted the world with his own quirky and unusual sense of humor, intelligence, wit, political awareness, concern about the World In General. They are really amazing and David himself is my favorite of course...but I never have had an opportunity to see The Heads or even David Byrne's solo concert live. I would love to see either, but just being with the kind of crowd that would come...in legion...to see The Talking Heads play just one reunion world tour for all the fans, would be a life-altering experience. SO many great bands I love and have never seen live: The Cure, Depeche Mode (MAYBE saw them one time, I have a faint memory), New Order, The Smiths, REM, The B-52's, Sting & Or The Police, The Rolling Stones, (can't afford the damn $500 tickets!), Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Doors, Jimi, Janis, Nirvana, only got to see U2 ONCE in concert and the audio was fucked up so Bono sounded like he was sucking helium all night. The Talking Heads...like The Violent Femmes, Sublime, (saw Garbage play with No Doubt once...GREAT show! There would be a million YOUNG people. That's how great this band is. Even teenagers would be there. This music is timeless.

quite literally one of the best songs ever created

Happy 73rd Birthday Charton Christopher Frantz May 8, 1951.. Fort Campbell, Kentucky.. The Talking Heads were this really fantastic band that came out of the whole N.Y.C. C.B.G.B.'s scene. It took time but they caught fire and then everyone was burning down the house..

To whom ever may be reading this, we are all on the road to nowhere, we all have bumps to go over, stay strong, we were given this wonderful gift of life to experience the highs and lows that we do, and its truly alright, dont worry, dont be afraid. 🙂

Well we know where we're going But we don't know where we've been And we know what we're knowing But we can't say what we've seen And we're not little children And we know what we want And the future is certain Give us time to work it out Yeah We're on a road to nowhere Come on inside Taking that ride to nowhere We'll take that ride I'm feeling okay this morning And you know We're on the road to paradise Here we go, here we go We're on a ride to nowhere Come on inside Taking that ride to nowhere We'll take that ride Maybe you wonder where you are I don't care Here is where time is on our side Take you there, take you there We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere There's a city in my mind Come along and take that ride And it's alright, baby, it's all right And it's very far away But it's growing day by day and it's all right Baby, it's all right Would you like to come along You can help me sing the song And it's all right, baby, it's all right They can tell you what to do But they'll make a fool of you And it's all right, baby, it's all right There's a city in my mind Come along and take that ride And it's alright, baby, it's all right And it's very far away But it's growing day by day and it's all right Baby, it's all right, yeah Would you like to come along You can help me sing the song And it's all right, baby, it's all right They can tell you what to do But they'll make a fool of you and it's all right Baby, it's all right We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere

A million years ago, I had a college teacher tell me, "Don't use 'that' in a sentence. It's more often than not excessive."

I feel like songs like this one, tackling mainly the topic of the passage of time and inevitability of death, usually make me feel way better than most other "happy" or optimistic songs.

Amira F I love this Talking Heads’ video. But, let me tell you about the song and this video. "Road to Nowhere" is a rock song written by David Byrne for Talking Heads’ 6th studio album "Little Creatures" (1985). It also appeared on "The Best of Talking Heads" (2004), "Sand in the Vaseline: Popular Favorites" (1992), the "Once in a Lifetime" (2003) box set and the Brick box set. The song was released as the 2nd single in September 1985 and reached number 25 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number 6 in the British, German and South African singles charts. It also made No. 8 on the Dutch Top 40. «I wanted to write a song that presented a resigned, even joyful look at doom,» recalls David Byrne in the liner notes of "Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads" (1992). «At our deaths and at the apocalypse... (always looming, folks). I think it succeeded. The front bit, the white gospel choir, is kind of tacked on, 'cause I don’t think the rest of the song was enough... I mean, it was only two chords. So, out of embarrassment, or shame, I wrote an intro section that had a couple more in it.» The video for the song was directed by David Byrne and Stephen R. Johnson and featured the band and various objects revolving, as if in their own "road to nowhere". It was nominated for "Best Video of the Year" at the MTV Video Music Awards 1986 (lost to Dire Straits for "Money for Nothing"), Best Concept Video (lost to a-ha for "Take On Me"), and Viewer’s Choice (lost to a-ha for "Take On Me"). Some parts were shot in the back yard and pool of actor Stephen Tobolowsky, who was co-writing David Byrne’s film "True Stories" (1986) at the time. Director Stephen R. Johnson reused some of the effects techniques in award-winning videos for Peter Gabriel the following year: "Sledgehammer" and "Big Time". David Byrne - guitar, vocals Chris Frantz - drums Jerry Harrison - keyboards, guitar, backing vocals Tina Weymouth - bass guitar, backing vocals Additional musicians: Andrew Cader - washboard Erin Dickens - backing vocals Diva Gray - backing vocals Gordon Grody - backing vocals Lani Groves - backing vocals Jimmy Macdonell - accordion Lenny Pickett - saxophones Steve Scales - percussion Kurt Yahijian - backing vocals The genres are pop rock and new wave.

All this song reminds me of is the end credits of Little Monsters. Still part of my childhood. 😁
