a difference of opinion

Talking Heads: Naive Melody

My friend recently told me that he thought this song was sad... and I couldn't really understand why. I always thought it was a love song about falling comfortably in love with someone whose eyes are bright and who will love you 'til your heart stops. A tad reluctant, scary even, but ultimately okay. And a beautiful, fun, naive melody. It's funny how two people can feel so differently about a song... and how that difference can be a real eye-opener to how they both feel about relationships. I dunno why I've been thinking about this, but I think it's interesting.
