Former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne gave his heirs apparent some shelved lyrics he wrote in 1978 for the 2009 Dark Was The Night charity benefit at Radio City Music Hall
Here is the sound that photographs make
When I see them
When I hear them
I see regions of sharp precision
Over abundance
Over indulgence
Tied together with rope and twine
Stuck together with paste and glue
Two old planks of knotty pine
And a couple of nails poked right on through
Knotty Pine was written by David Byrne & Dirty Projectors.
Knotty Pine was produced by Paul Heck & Miwa Okumura & Bryce Dessner & Aaron Dessner.
Dirty Projectors released Knotty Pine on Thu Feb 19 2009.
