It would work at night and it would work in the middle of the afternoon.вЂќ While the wait continues, Harrison recently talked to Vulture about the legacy of an album that Rolling Stone recently declared as the 39th greatest of all time.

It was all about the joy of performing those songs again. вЂњWe knew that it was something that didnвЂ™t rely on lighting or staging. вЂњIвЂ™m disappointed that we didnвЂ™t get to do the tour,вЂќ Harrison says now.

While 2020 has proved to be formative for other Talking Heads members (ByrneвЂ™s Broadway-to-cable show, FrantzвЂ™s memoir), the pandemic has sidelined HarrisonвЂ™s big project of the year: a series of performances to celebrate Remain in LightвЂ™s four decades of life, which was set for a robust summer-festival schedule alongside album guitarist Adrian Belew.

David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison - under the sonic tutelage of producer extraordinaire Brian Eno - hopped between the Bahamas and New York City to complete the album with their bevy of international influences, which culminated in the bandвЂ™s best-known single, вЂњOnce in a Lifetime.вЂќ ItвЂ™s the type of music that was destined for 40 years of scholarly attention to its stanzas (вЂњthe world moves on a womanвЂ™s hips / the world moves and it bounces and hopsвЂќ) yet was still accessible enough for Kermit the Frog to boogie down to in an oversize suit. While the Rolling Stones were preaching about emotional rescues and Pink Floyd were chanting about their wall, Talking Heads came together in 1980 to create their magnum opus: Remain in Light, an eight-song masterpiece that anointed them New Wave royalty with reign over the punks. The band circa 1979, one year before Remain in Light was released.
