Everybody’s wearing everybody else’s shoes, which not everybody does, but I have done. I tried to sing about these things that could be seen as negative in a way balanced by an uplifting feeling from the groove and the melody, especially at the end, when St. Vincent and I are doing a lot of hollering and singing together. Music can do that – hold opposites simultaneously. I realized that when singing with Robyn earlier this year. Her songs are often sad, but the music is joyous.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matador","offers":[{"title":"CD + folded poster","offer_id":58342352978303,"sku":"OLE2178CD","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/2825\/4773\/files\/David-Byrne-Who-Is-The-Sky.jpg?v=1749483308","url":"https:\/\/vinilo.co.uk\/products\/david-byrne-who-is-the-sky-cd","provider":"Vinilo Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
