BORN: May 14, 1952, Dumbarton, Scotland David Byrne was born in Dumbarton, Scotland, on 14 May 1952. When he was 2 years old, his parents moved to Canada at the expense of a company that was recruiting engineers and semi-scientists from Europe. When David was 8 or 9 years old, his parents moved again, this time to the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. In September 1970, David went straight from High School to the Rhode Island School Of Design. It was here that he met Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth who were also enrolled as Freshmen. David was not very impressed by art school: "I think art school is a real racket, especially in this country. You run into a couple of good teachers and some interesting students but for the amount of money you spend, it's not worth More...

Anyway, the lyrics in the second verse are incorrect: "we're eatin' off plates and we kiss with our tongue" should be "I never watch TV, except when I'm stoned" peace and love! | Reviewer: the one ------ About the song Like Humans Do performed by David Byrne i love this song. it makes me feel strangely peaceful, and i think that David B. describes life just the way it is, we don´t so anything but complain about our life's and he is right with such profound words. i love him, and i love this song. peace and love to you all folks. see ya in another life To L'Analyste Universel | Reviewer: Curtis ------ About the song Like Humans Do performed by David Byrne L'Analyste Universel: I suppose you are entitiled to your opinion, but I personally don't think your lyrics are that great. Pretty Darn good | Reviewer: Marion Wilson ------ About the song Like Humans Do performed by David Byrne Not bad at ALL! I actually really like this song. It's not my favoutire song I must admit, but still really good. I'm looking for the name of a song | Reviewer: Claudia ------ About the song unknown performed by David Byrne just heard a few seconds of a song which said something like "Looking for a home" and the other thing I heard was something like "doing it for money not for love or something like that" I apreciate your help! Jism | Reviewer: Haig ------ About the song UNDER HEAVY MANNERS (Fripp/Byrne) performed by David Byrne In the psycho-crazed intellectual art rock daze, Robert Fripp and David Byrne regularly surprised and satisfied with essential stimulation. Yet, they seemed a world apart, Byrne hitting beats that Fripp never touched; Fripp clicking and tricking guitar that buzzed and rocked. It seemed that whenever Fripp allowed drums to play a hard beat, his guitar playing with it just amazed, leaving us laughing, jumping, thinking fast and even dancing. We don't know where or how we got hold of this track, and to this day our few friends in-the-know refer to it as "The Jism Song"! The innovative use of one word lines of lyrics are statements in themselves, copied by several artists to follow including INXS, and of course the Talking Heads. Whoever posted these lyrics must understand these thoughts and hopefully it reminds you of how wonderful it was to attend college in a n environment such as Ann Arbor, MI. Thanks for clarifying the memories! Those that enjoy any Fripp and Bryrne have got to hear this one. basically | Reviewer: jared ------ About the song You and Eye performed by David Byrne this song is great. it has an eclectic blend of latin and funk, with that ever so "subtle" twist from david byrne. Amazing Song! | Reviewer: Will ------ About the song Like Humans Do performed by David Byrne I love this song, I think it should have made it to the top of the charts or at least close to it.

God like humans do | Reviewer: gail kennon ------ About the song Like Humans Do performed by David Byrne i'd been listening to the album look into the eyeball all week and it was on my c.d. on good friday. just before i replaced it with messian's "quartet for the end of time" for good friday meditation i listened to "like humans do"...what an insight into Christ's passion i received. He was aching and shaking and breaking from his torment in the garden to his dying on the cross...the Son of God suffering "Like Humans Do"...thanks david byrne. great | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Like Humans Do performed by David Byrne First time I heard this was on my boyfriends Ipod, and lemme say this song rocks. It's a song that makes me wanna just dance, and I hate dancing. Like Humans Don't Do | Reviewer: L'Analyste Universel ------ About the song Like Humans Do performed by David Byrne Unfortunately the title of David Byrne's song is vastly misleading by letting us think that one will hear a song with some sort of meaningful and insightful analysis or at least a truthful commentary on humans, the human impact, or something worth thinking about and opening a debate. However, "like humans do", or as one would expect from so many songwriters, it is a shallow, general misrepresentation of human lives as though everyone wastes their time in some such light, flighty daily activities of most life forms. Like Humans Don't Do, it doesn't transcend such observations and present the general truth and where to go from there. In reality some humans do indulge themselves as such while others indulge more meaningfully in some of these daily activities and/or in other activities of much more importance to the future of all life including humans. So, unfortunately, I have to give the lyrics a 0 because of a meaningless theme and recommend they be changed. However, the music is good and just needs good lyrics to make it great. Since I believe it is always best to critique with a good example of my view, I shall leave you with one possible scenario of lyrics for this song that could and should clarify my point. I shall try to keep it in the flavor of Mr. Byrne's original, but with more transcending thoughts, thus Like Humans Do For millions of years, In millions of ways Humans have done well, Humans have done ill We've learned how to love and we've learned how to kill Like Humans Do [Chorus 1] We're breathin' in We're breathin' out But humans must find what it's all about All life's made a wreck No justice will ensue As we glorify our ills And pervert the truth We're achin' We're shakin' We're breakin' everything Like Humans Do We're achin'like We're shakin'like We're breakin' everything like Like Humans Do We work and we sleep and we think until we die We're eatin' all, we're laughin' all and we're lovin' our ills We never critique our misdeeds until it is too late Like Humans Do [Chorus 2] We're breathin' in We're breathin' out But humans must find what it's all about Restore the wrecked earth To a reasonable home Begin to see the truths And face the ills we've done We're achin' We're shakin' We're breakin' everything Like Humans Do We're achin'like We're shakin'like We're breakin' everything like Like Humans Do etc. (I like it better thus and will sing with such lyrics.) Hooked on a tune | Reviewer: Gainer ------ About the song Like Humans Do performed by David Byrne Hooked on a tune... magical, compelling lyrics, funky fun and profound. Buried on my new computer. Must have come along with Windows XP. Thank you Bill Gates. Some of the other music that was also installed by Microsoft was a pretty good mix, but "Like Humans Do" just "hit-the-spot"... tight. super song | Reviewer: Rahul singh ------ About the song Like Humans Do performed by David Byrne this song was in my computer and i never heard it but when i did i was stunned. what a song. it pictures the life of a man perfectly. i myself is a huge lover of this song. Latin spirit, English lyrics. | Reviewer: Fractal-q ------ About the song Make Believe Mambo (Orisa) performed by David Byrne David Byrne definitely captures the spirit and essence of the Salsa rhythm in Make Believe Mambo. While his english lyrics to what is essentially a Latin American artform sounds a little mismatched and to an extent, out of place, he compensates for this with authentic spirit and instrumentational arrangement to make this piece a spicy, zesty, sonic experience. His music video was my first exposure to this song and I've enjoyed it everytime since. To my mind, Make Believe Mambo is a fine example of music's power to cross cultural and social barriers to eventually influence artists who will then take this artform, co-opt it as their own and add a new dimension to it. Musical evolution. wooahhh amazing man | Reviewer: Liza ------ About the song Like Humans Do performed by David Byrne i think this song is just out of this world- no joker.. it was randomly on my computer and i had never even heard of david byrne before i when i heard this song i was like yesssssssssss! its soo good.. i have based my messenger names on it for example "do slip inside this pumpkin house" hehe. well lets jus say thank you for making this truly wonderful song!:) You could review the artist/band David Byrne in Biography page You could review David Byrne album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review David Byrne song by clicking the song which you like | | ||||||||||
