Everything That Happens
Brian Eno & David Byrne Lyrics
I ride on a perfect freeway
Many people on that road
I heard the sound of someone laughing
I saw my neighbor's car explode
Just up ahead
Against the sky
Quicker than you blink your eye
Oh my brother, I still wonder, are you alright?
From the milk of human kindness
From the breast we all partake
Hungry for a social contract
She welcomes you with dark embrace
(Puts) socks and shoes
Upon our feet
Little fishes swim upstream
Oh my brother, I still wonder, are you alright?
In the deepest silence, gold and diamonds, all through the night
[Repeat: x2]
Everything that happens will happen today
And nothing has changed, but nothing's the same
And every tomorrow could be yesterday
And everything that happens will happen today

Avant-rock pioneer Brian Eno and Talking Heads frontman David Byrne collaborated for a groundbreaking album called My Life in the Bush of Ghosts in 1981. They combined found recordings of voices (off the radio and so on) with funky Afro-Latin grooves, using the voices more or less as instruments rather than for the content of the words.
In December 2007, David Byrne announced on the BBC Radio music show, The Weekender, that he was working Brian Eno on a brand new album of "proper songs" Read Full BioAvant-rock pioneer Brian Eno and Talking Heads frontman David Byrne collaborated for a groundbreaking album called My Life in the Bush of Ghosts in 1981.

In December 2007, David Byrne announced on the BBC Radio music show, The Weekender, that he was working Brian Eno on a brand new album of "proper songs", describing it as a "completely different thing" from My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, which was mostly experimental. Eno had invited Byrne to finish some songs that he had written but that did not have lyrics, some of which were eight years old. The resulting album, Everything That Happens will Happen Today, was self-released on August 18, 2008 through the official album's website. No record label was involved, and it available for stream or download at EverythingThatHappens.com.

Raoul Trahan
Listened to this album over and over ten years ago on the day my son was born. Life is Long, especially. As I cried tears of joy, this was the perfect soundtrack to life.

Laced with some of the warmest music I've heard from these two, this is an extremely enjoyable & satisfying album! My life would be a far less interesting place to be were it not for Eno & Byrne!

2 greats coming together to create a masterpiece. Every song is amazing.

"I feel my stuff"- def my favorite track on this great album!
Brett Warren
This album has held up really well, and frankly seems to keep getting better. When it came out it felt kind of jarring and borderline disappointing to me because I was expecting My Life in the Bush of Ghosts 2 for some reason.
