Talking Heads, con su estilo único y experimental, dejó una marca indeleble en la historia de la música. Fundada en 1975 en Nueva York, el grupo se destacó rápidamente en la escena musical por su mezcla ecléctica de punk, rock, funk y ritmos africanos. La banda se compuso originalmente de David Byrne (voz y guitarra), Chris Frantz (batería), Tina Weymouth (bajo) y Jerry Harrison (teclados y guitarra).
David Byrne, Chris Frantz y Tina Weymouth se conocieron en la Rhode Island School of Design. Compartían intereses similares en arte y música, lo que los llevó a formar una banda llamada The Artistics. Sin embargo, al mudarse a Nueva York y para alinearse con la vibrante escena punk del CBGB, decidieron cambiar su nombre a Talking Heads.
El 8 de junio de 1975, Talking Heads debutó en CBGB como teloneros de los Ramones. Su actuación llamó la atención del crítico de música del The Village Voice, John Rockwell, quien elogió su frescura. Esta exposición les permitió firmar con Sire Records en 1976.
Su primer álbum, Talking Heads: 77, presentó al mundo su estilo inconfundible. El sencillo "Psycho Killer" se convirtió en un himno y ayudó a establecer su reputación como pioneros del nuevo sonido post-punk.
And She Was (Early Version) Song Lyrics
And She Was (Early Version) by Talking Heads And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's makin' sure, she is not dreamin'
The world was moving
She was right there with it and she was
The world was moving
She was floatin' above it and she was
And she was
And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
The world was moving
She was hung above it and she was
The world was moving
She was right there with it and she was
And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions
The world was moving
She was right there with it and she was
The world was moving
She was floatin' above it and she was
Joining the world of missing persons and she was
She was
Missing enough to feel alright and she was, and she was
And she was, and she was, and she was
And she was
