Check out those fingers!  Davis is always unique and one to surprise us! The song did not win, but David Byrne, Stephanie Hsu and Son Lux performed "This is Life" at the Oscars last night. Everything Everywhere All at Once came away with 7 wins, but not for this song.

David Byrne wrote it with Ryan Hott and Mitski.

We know David Bryne from the Talking Heads.  They got started in New York City in 1975. They opened for the Ramones in June of '75 at CBGB. I got to see the Talking Heads at the Mann Music Center August 30, 1982! Set list including Psycho Killer, Love-> Building a Fire, Cities, Big Blue https://davidbyrne.com/radio/turkishlymouth (Eyes Wide Open), Once in a Lifetime, Mind, My Big Hands (Fall Through the Cracks), Slink, Big Business/I Zimbra, Swamp, Houses in Motion, What a Day That Was, Life During Wartime, Take Me to the Rover and Crosseyed and Painless.

Byrne did win an Oscar for his work on the score of the movie The Last Emperor with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Cong Su. That was back in 1987.
