I am aware that it is incredibly old and I've blogged about it before. However, it is life-changing. Its writer, David Byrne, had this to say about it:
"That's a love song made up almost completely of non sequiturs, phrases that may have a strong emotional resonance but don't have any narrative qualities. It's a real honest kind of love song. I don't think I've ever done a real love song before. Mine always had a sort of reservation, or a twist. I tried to write one that wasn't corny, that didn't sound stupid or lame the way many do. I think I succeeded; I was pretty happy with that."
If this doesn't cheer you up, you're a Martian.
