Your Personal Soundtrack: Talking Heads
Unemployment is a bitch. Now that I've joined the ranks of the working class again, my retrospect is clarifying. Being out of work, to me, is like a great fog in your mind. For some reason my line of work and my job opens all the ducts of imagination in my brain. While you're in the fog of joblessness, you're only able to ask yourself questions. Questions like the ones David Byrne asks here in "Once In A Lifetime" - one of the greatest songs of the early MTV era. I'm sure there's a much better parallel you could draw for a Talking Heads song, but it's such a perfect anthem for getting off your ass and doing something.
