On this day in 1986, the Talking Heads single “And She Was” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #45 ( February 8 )
Drummer Chris Frantz said of the song, "It's a story about a woman who has the power to levitate above the ground and to check out all her neighbors from a kind of bird's eye view.
And the guy who's writing the song is in love with her and he kinda wishes she would just be more normal and, like, come on back down to the ground [Laughs], but she doesn't. She goes floating over the backyard and past the buildings and the schools and stuff and is absolutely [upside-down] to him in every way."
On the liner notes of “Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads”, songwriter David Byrne recalled:
"I used to know a blissed-out hippie-chick in Baltimore.
She once told me that she used to do acid (the drug, not music) and lay down on the field by the Yoo-hoo chocolate soda factory. Flying out of her body, etc etc.
It seemed like such a tacky kind of transcendence… but it was real!
A new kind of religion being born out of heaps of rusted cars and fast food joints.
And this girl was flying above it all, but in it too."
The track from their “Little Creatures” LP went to #9 in Ireland, #10 in Australia, #16 in New Zealand, #17 in the UK, #31 in the Netherlands, and #54 in the US.
