How Did I Get Here ?

The title of my mashup video and the vocal set piece „Same as it ever was“ used as a loop comes from the song „Once in a lifetime“ by the band „Talking Heads“, sung and performed in the music video by David Byrne. The piece also provided the inspiration for the topic of my work.

Byrne gave his take on this song to NPR: “We’re largely unconscious. You know, we operate half awake or on autopilot and end up, whatever, with a house and family and job and everything else. We haven’t really stopped to ask ourselves, ‘How did I get here?’” Quelle: NPR
