    So many people (looking at you, Lumineers) cover this song as a sad song about longing or going back home to your parents. That's not it, and Hayes gets it. "Home" is the person you're in love with.

      I've heard a lot of covers of this song, and haven't noticed the distinction you are raising. It's a love song, but the melody and lyrics have a tinge of sadness, as every great love song does?

      Never had the thought that it was about anything besides the (perhaps slightly melancholy) feelings of love from one towards another, or between a couple.

      Dunno. I've listened to 100's of covers of this song. Covering just about every genre of music known to man. There is a reason it gets covered so much and in so many different ways, over and above it being a great tune.
      There is something ineffable about this song that makes it one of the most malleable tunes ever written. It can be twisted, turned, and morphed in so many ways while still being recognizable as the song it is and sounding at least decent, if not fab.
      Its the thing about this tune that fascinates me most.

      I'd be honored if some Talking Heads fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of THIS MUST BE THE PLACE (re-interpreted as a ballad) on my YT channel in tribute to one of the most unique & iconic bands of the late 70s/early 80s era. Raw acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.

      @@mostlyharmless88 the singer in the Lotus version is a "guest" singer. Definitely trying to do his best David Bryne impressing from Stop Making Sensr out there for sure. Lotus most certainly is NOT a Talking Heads cover band by any means. They did this one for a festival and bust it out on rare occasions. What I love about their version is the wicked guitar solo and overall groove to it.

    My fav part of this cover is how they change the lyrics from “and you love me until my heart stops, love you til your dead” to “and I love you til my heart stops, love you til I’m dead” it’s a change that makes the world difference in terms of me liking this version over the original. More romantic.

Your version is by far my favorite ever, even anything Talking Heads ever came up with. Kudos to you and your bandmates on what seems to be just a normal routine session for you guys. I will definitely be a fan of Sean Hayes from now on.

    It is an individual interpretation. For some it can be a literal place called home. It can also be home in a relationship. It is lovely that this song can be absorbed in so many different ways. Some take a "weakened heart" as a physical illness. Some see that as a weak in strength of the mind. To me, it is a love story between 2 people.

    Listening now, for the first time. The lowdown, warm vibe of the beginning of the song grabbed me big time...made me feel good, made me smile..Naive Melody is one of the most romantic pop songs ever written, methinks. It is also one of my favourite songs to sing (I have been singing 30 years and miss it live)
    This fellow can sing. He's kept it in the same key, faithful to the song, and has adapted vocal skill and style, to accomodate an uncomfortable key., transposing...fucking brilliant..
    Arrangement?? Don't get me started :)
