Once in a Lifetime
For the moment you ask: wait, how did I get here? 🌀
Who it's for
Talking Heads built this around an existential crisis, with David Byrne delivering lines like a preacher as he wonders how he arrived at his own life.

What it is
"Once in a Lifetime" is a Talking Heads song from the 1980 album Remain in Light, produced and co-written by Brian Eno, with lyrics by David Byrne. It deals with existential crisis, questioning conventional middle-class success and how one came to be living that life; Byrne has described it as being about living on autopilot.
