Talking Heads - Little Creatures - 1985

Little Creatures es el sexto álbum de estudio de los Talking Heads, editado en 1985.
En el álbum la banda avanza otro escalón en el eclecticismo de su propuesta, incorporando elementos de country.Muchas de sus canciones incluyen "steel guitar".
Fue también el más vendido de su discografía.
Para mi uno de los mejores discos de Talking Heads y entre lo mejor de su década prodigiosa.Cada canción tiene su propia chispa y originalidad sonora, y las letras de Byrne por supuesto, otro tanto.
La ilustración de la portada es creación del artista Howard Finster, y fue seleccionada como portada del año por la revista Rolling Stone.

No destacaré ninguna canción en especial, porque todas son una genialidad, pero despleguemos aquí la letra del tema que abre, "And she was".Una que sabemos todos, para cantar junto al fuego...

AND SHE WAS

AND SHE WAS

And she was lying in the grass

And she could hear the highway breathing

And she could see a nearby factory

She's making sure she is not dreaming

See the lights of a neighbor's house

Now she's starting to rise

Take a minute to concentrate

And she opens up her eyes

[Chorus:]

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)

The world was moving she was floating 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

Moving into the universe

Drifting this way and that

Not touching ground at all

Up above the yard

[Chorus]

She was glad about it... no doubt about it

She isn't sure what she's done

No time to think about what to tell him

No time to think about what she's done

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

[Chorus]

Joining the world of missing persons (and she was)

Missing enough to feel alright (and she was)

GIVE ME BACK MY NAME
