Once in a lifetime- Talking heads- 1981
This song is about people thinking about their life, questioning what they have and feeling like its not theirs. It was sung by the Talking heads and was released in 1981. It features David Byrne who performs abstract dancing infront of abstract backgrounds. He actually researched into people's behaviour when in trances and performed these movements. It was to portray the words of the song that he feels life is a trance and what happens is beyond control. He acts in puppet like ways as if he is being moved and instructed how to live. This video was the first music video that explored art and abstract ideas and therefore was featured in the museum of Art NY.
