"Once in a Lifetime", the 1981 song by Talking Heads, written by David Byrne with Brian Eno. I painted from it once before, in 2020: [361] How Did I Get Here?

Byrne said it was never about greed. "We operate half-awake or on autopilot and end up, whatever, with a house and family and job and everything else, and we haven't really stopped to ask ourselves, 'How did I get here?'"

His questions are all in here. So are mine.
