More Songs About Buildings and Food is the second studio album by American rock band Talking Heads, released on July 14, 1978 by Sire Records. It was the first of three albums produced by collaborator Brian Eno, and saw the band move toward a danceable style, crossing singer David Byrne's unusual delivery with new emphasis on the rhythm section composed of bassist Tina Weymouth and drummer Chris Frantz.

The title of Talking Heads' second album, More Songs About Buildings and Food, slyly addressed the sophomore record syndrome, in which songs not used on a first LP are mixed with hastily written new material. If the band's sound seems more conventional, the reason simply may be that one had encountered the odd song structures, staccato rhythms, strained vocals, and impressionistic lyrics once before. Another was that new co-producer Brian Eno brought a musical unity that tied the album together, especially in terms of the rhythm section, the sequencing, the pacing, and the mixing

The fetishization of work and the increasingly long work week, self-help individualism and the power of positive thinking, the inspirational entrepreneurial success story, the nightmarish system that underlies and exacerbates these horrors.

Producer – Brian Eno, Talking Heads. Written-By – Al Green (tracks: B4), Chris Frantz (tracks: B3), David Byrne (tracks: A1 to B2, B5), M. Hodges (tracks: B4), Wayne Zievel (tracks: B1). Notes. On the front cover the title is yellow on a white beam.

The band's second album, "More Songs About Buildings and Food," sounds so refreshing, unique and singular that it seems like another debut. Their first album, "77," sounds musically light years away from the follow-up's thick arrangements and electronically laden atmosphere. Many bands require multiple releases to fully gestate, but Talking Heads miraculously attained it after a single album. Like an infant blue whale, they grew up fast and never sounded the same again. The 1977 version of "Stay Hungry," a bonus track included with the album's 2006.

Produced by Talking Heads & Brian Eno. Album More Songs About Buildings and Food. The Big Country Lyrics. I see the shapes I remember from maps I see the shoreline, I see the whitecaps A baseball diamond, nice weather down there I see the school and the houses where the kids are Places to park by the factories and buildings Restaurants and bars for later in the evening. I guess it's healthy, I guess the air is clean I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends Look at that kitchen and all of that food Look at them eat it, I guess it tastes real good. They grow it in those farmlands, then they bring it to the store They put it in the car trunk, then they bring it back home, and I say. I wouldn't live there if you paid me I wouldn't live like that, no sirree I wouldn't do the things the way those people do I wouldn't live there if you paid me to.
