Feeling Low? — Would You Like to Come Along?

There are days when something in me just gives out. I don’t want to do anything, don’t want to think. There are moments when being alive itself gets under my skin.

On days like that, I put on this song: “Road to Nowhere” by Talking Heads, released in 1985.

Watch the music video while you listen, and the little story in it is almost comic — and somehow it feels like it’s cheering us on toward whatever comes next: don’t let a thing like that break you.

David Byrne, as it happens, is a strikingly handsome man, and a gifted writer of both songs and words. He’ll do the oddest, wittiest things without a second thought — and yet his sense of beauty is exacting.

With the turn of the season and one dreary thing after another, I was about to go under myself. So I put it on again, for the first time in a while.

To put ever-finer music in your hands — that is the mission of "The Creator." That is mine.
