And She Was

Byrne wrote the song and sings lead. In the liner notes of Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads he recalled a blissed-out hippie chick in Baltimore who told him she used to lie on a field by the Yoo-hoo chocolate soda factory and fly out of her body. He called it a tacky kind of transcendence that was nonetheless real. Frantz described it as a story of a woman who can levitate and look at her neighbors from a bird's-eye view, while the narrator, in love with her, wishes she would come back down to the ground.

It reached 54 on the Hot 100 and 17 in the UK. Jim Blashfield directed the stop-motion video. Cash Box praised Byrne's discreet pop ingenuity, and Spin's John Leland praised the extended mix. Harrison played keyboards, guitars and piano, with Gordon Grody, Lani Groves and Kurt Yahjian on backing vocals, Lenny Pickett on saxophone and Steve Scales on percussion.
