It’s a record that questions meaning, purpose, and connection, wrapped in Byrne’s signature blend of avant-pop and lyrical wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"808\" data-end=\"1085\"\u003eSongs like “Who Has Seen the Wind?” and “Tiny Things” tap into themes of love, identity, and the weird beauty of everyday existence.
