i don't get why people like this song so much when born under punches and the great curve are clearly superior, and that's just on remain in light

Those songs are better, but this song perfectly captures what's happened to me

>tfw I starting to get this song

This.
It used to be funny. Now it hurts.

The Great Curve is based.

SAME AS IT EVER WAS
SAME AS IT EVER WAS
SAME AS IT EVER WAS
SAME AS IT EVER WAS

what yoyu mean

Because sometimes you find yourself, asking how did I get here?

Great song, the more boomer you get the more it makes sense. It’s a song zoomed quite literally do not understand

Does anyone else get a Tucker Carlson vibe off this music video?

>Great song, the more boomer you get the more it makes sense. It’s a song zoomed quite literally do not understand

Care to spell it all out for us retards?

It's more that Tucker Carlson gives off an air of 80s disillusionment and yuppie vibes.

I don't get why people like those songs so much when Houses in Motion and Seen and Not Seen are clearly superior, and that's just on Remain in Light.

Patrician taste

it's the poppiest song on remain in light and doesn't have as much funk/afrobeat influence as the first few tracks or as much darker post punk influence as the later tracks, so it's the song normies love the most. plus the video was played on mtv a lot back in the day

Once in a Lifetime is still the best song. Remain in Light is my favorite album, but Once in a Lifetime is pop song perfection.

not of my time boomer

it's a great song indeed, although for me i prefer seen and not seen and born under punches
the truth is every single track on that record is a great song, even tracks that don't get as much love like the overload or listening wind

Listening Wind is awesome. Great song calling out American imperialism.

>the truth is every single track on that record is a great song, even tracks that don't get as much love like the overload or listening wind
Absolutely. And in fairness I get exactly why tracks like Born Under Punches and The Great Curve often get more love. There's so much ambition and creativity in them.
>the vocal layering on Curve
>percussion for days
>Belew's computer beep guitar solo on Punches
>that ridiculously loud bass that never got replicated in live shows.
But for me, Once in a Lifetime is a perfect song from start to finish. Lyrically and sonically it encapsulates its subject material perfectly. It exists so perfectly in the time period it was created, and yet its themes are universal. The imagery, Byrne's increasingly desperate vocal inflection, the lackadaisical guitar adding just the right amount of ironic ambivalence to the narrator's anxiety. Man, it really is just that good of a song. The video only adds to its legacy.
