i know it's not how it's supposed to be interpreted but i heavily associate this song with just being home. idk i heard it a lot when i was really little and it's kinda just... got that feeling to it. like a warmish spring day where the sun's out and I'm just laying down or something. idk. it just makes me forget everything that's going on.

The parenthesized title refers to the simple ("naïve") construction of the song, which is framed on a sparse ostinato that lasts for the song's duration. This simplicity marked a departure for Talking Heads, which was known for its complex African-inspired polyrhythms and funk. According to the Stop Making Sense commentary track, the title "Naive Melody" refers to the music. On the recording, the guitar and bass each repeat an ostinato for the entire song. According to David Byrne, many professional musicians would not play a song written in that fashion, and that is what makes the melody naive. Byrne played the lead keyboard solo. Bassist Tina Weymouth stated in the liner notes of Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads that the song was created through "truly naive" experimentation with different instruments and jamming.

I'm in love with the playful melody, reminds me of the cure in a way. Like a summer day in childhood.
