Think you've had enough-

Stop talking, help us get ready

Think you've had enough-

Big business, after the shakeup

Think you've had enough-

Stop talking, help us get ready

And you think you've had enough

Big business, after the shakeup

Get ready get ready

Stop talking, help us get ready

Stop

Big Business

Big Business stands as a defining track from David Byrne's solo career, capturing his signature blend of art rock and new wave sensibilities. Released during a period of prolific experimentation, the song reflects Byrne's enduring fascination with the intersection of commerce, culture, and human behavior. The recording features his characteristic angular guitar work and detached vocal delivery, creating an atmosphere that is both observational and slightly detached. As part of a broader discography that ranges from his time with Talking Heads to his later conceptual projects, this piece exemplifies Byrne's ability to distill complex social commentary into accessible, rhythmic pop structures. The track remains a staple in his live performances, showcasing his continued relevance and unique approach to songwriting within the alternative music landscape.
