Tickets. Dates. What’s the story?Explore the tour About This Track
'Blind' by Talking Heads is a 1988 Pop/Rock track from 'Naked'. The lyrics are built around a tightening sense of signs going missing and people turning invisible, with paranoid, animal-tinged images closing in as everything gets “Torn all apart”. As the narrator describes a world of blank signals and hard faces, the tone feels restless and suspicious, like a biography written by someone else while the scene deteriorates.
"Blind" is a single by Talking Heads, from the album Naked, released 15th March 1988. The track is 5:00 long. It's filed under Pop/Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 12 articles about Talking Heads.

Marie Ulven’s 2024 Talking Heads cover came with a plain-spoken explanation: the band had helped define her identity as a teenager.

From the name-reading ritual of ‘Hell You Talmbout’ to slogans and protest images, David Byrne’s live work makes political attention part of the collective experience rather than an interruption to it.

From sampled voices to a new live-era co-write, David Byrne and Brian Eno have kept finding different practical uses for their shared musical language.

Tom A. Smith’s move towards synth-led music began with a Dave Stewart songwriting observation and broadened through Talking Heads’ example of restless, flexible songwriting.

The 1979 album returns on 13th November with rarities, two previously unreleased concerts and newly shared ‘Life During Wartime’ footage.

David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison and Tina Weymouth will join Este Haim for a live Q&A before Talking Heads Radio launches.
