Saoirse Ronan Stars in a Quirky 50th Anniversary Music Video for Talking Heads' 'Psycho Killer'
Briefly

The iconic New Wave song "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads, released in 1977, is approaching its 50th anniversary. Prior to its official release, an acoustic version featuring Arthur Russell was recorded but did not have an accompanying music video. To celebrate this milestone, a new video directed by Mike Mills has been released, showcasing actress Saoirse Ronan as she navigates a range of human emotions in her daily life. This fresh visual interpretation offers a retrospective nod to the song's enduring impact.
It's hard to believe that a song like "Psycho Killer," a pioneering New Wave track by Talking Heads, is nearly five decades old.
While the song was released in 1977 as part of the album Talking Heads: 77, an acoustic version was recorded before that with late musician Arthur Russell.
Head-heads are in luck with a fantastic, better-late-than-never video marking the anniversary, directed by Mike Mills and starring Saoirse Ronan.
The short stars Irish actor Saoirse Ronan as she voyages across the spectrum of human emotions during her daily grind.
