Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb burn with a weak heart
So I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong... nothing
Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight... say goodnight
Home is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be... where I'll be
Hi yo we drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head ah ooh
Ah oooooh

I have seen Kishi Bashi perform 6 or 7 times over the years and this (while a cover) is one of my favourite songs.  It's usually in the last set of the show, he comes down from the stage and plays it in the middle of the floor surrounded by the audience.  He grew up in the town I live in.  (I don't know him just know of him).  But I have seen this song performed with his parents present in the audience.  The proud and adoring looks from his parents while he  is singing is heartwarming.   Thank you RP for playing Kishi Bashi.



Great story!

I have never heard this song covered. It was stunning and other comments indicate this is a major talent!

Love the original song, and I love the Talking Heads, but this, this just isn't it.

David Byrne used a string section when he appeared on Austin City Limits years ago. It's one of my favorite YouTube videos...

I  Agree completely!

This isn't bad at all! I might even like it better than the original. Also yesterday William played a version of "Thank You for Sending Me an Angel" by Blondshell that was just amazing, so if you like nicely reimagined Talking Heads covers, check it out!

I love Shawan Colvin's cover but this is on another level. Have to check out his other work.

Decent cover, though my ears kinda want to hear similar looney vocals as David's.

A "graduate" from Of Montreal, eh?  (They are good!)  I'll listen to him a few times before voting.

In *my* imagination, David Byrne would like this. Nicely done. Captures the spirit of the original.




why would capturing the spirit of the original elevate this when the original already did it?

not sure if it's the strings but this is a quite pleasant cover of the terrific version by The Talking Heads tune, that always struck me as one of my "our tunes"....

Thank you RP! I just LOVE some of the covers you play!
Where else could music fans hear this music.
I might add that as I am writing
this you are playing" The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and this has made my day since college.

Pleasant song, not a great movie.

Nice on first listen. 
2 Talking Heads songs consecutively.

Personally, I have a red meat affinity

Happy to see Kishi Bashi on RP!  Many great considerations on lighght if you are not looking for a Talking Heads transition.  No steak required

Saw Kishi Bashi perform live twice including once 8 months pregnant. His musical prowess and command over a number of instruments is mind blowing. And his ability to get everyone on their feet dancing (including a heavily-pregnant me) with a violin an a beatbox is something I'll never forget.
