This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)

Talking Heads closed Speaking in Tongues (1983) with the warmest, most disarming song David Byrne ever wrote — a love song from a man who claimed he never wrote love songs. Built on a looping, hypnotic groove and lyrics that wander between the sweet and the surreal, it has become one of the band's most beloved tracks, a fixture of weddings, film soundtracks, and cover sets across every genre. This string quartet arrangement brings that gently circling melody to four strings.
