A new restoration of Jonathan Demme’s one-of-a-kind 1984 Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense is underway via A24, the production company announced Thursday (March 16). It hits theaters August 18, alongside a deluxe reissue of its soundtrack (via Rhino) featuring previously unheard takes from the four December 1983 L.A. shows where the movie was shot.

The news comes with a teaser in which former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne picks up the iconic gray suit he wore for the film nearly four decades ago from the dry cleaner’s. Pleasantly surprised at the great condition it’s in after all those years, he bikes home with it, puts it on, and busts out some of his signature goofy dance moves in front of a mirror, at which point the clip cuts back in time to the original footage of those same moves from the movie.

Last year, Byrne contributed with Mitski to Son Lux’s “This Is a Life,” an Oscar-nominated track from the Oscar-sweeping 2022 film Everything Everywhere All at Once (another movie prominently featuring a dry cleaning business).

Watch the new trailer above.

FRANK OCEAN – Provider lyrics

Memo finna start acting out if I don’t see him soon
Yeah my best friend ain’t backing out, it’s still on sight, fool
I’m the only one out here on the night loops
I’m the only one out here on the night loops
Trophy case still light, body need a race stripe
And these minerals on my body break light
And these reds on my body brakelight
New man comin’ up ahead on his own two
Is you a natural blondie like Goku?
Sleepin’ on my belly in a loop like a serpent
Talking Heads ripplin’ on the surface

[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes low, chin heavy shoegazer
Moonwalkin’, R.I.P. Stanley Kubrick
You had you some birthdays, could you prove it?
Show me the wisdom in your movement
Show me some wisdom in your movement

[Chorus]
Feelings you provide
Feelings you provide
I know it, I know it
The feelings I, the feelings, I know it, I
Feelings you provide
Feelings you provide
I know it, I know it
The feelings, I know it, the feelings, I, I

[Bridge]
Tonight I might change my life
If you lived like I live
You couldn’t live without it
Said I’d be your new best friend
But what more? Yeah
Ain’t too late to out
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ahhh
Provide, provide
Pro…
Ooh, oooh, oooh
Tonight I might change my life, all for you
All for you (Provide)

[Verse 2]
Provided, diamond lane that didn’t exist
Packed the Astro van and brought my kids through
Prada tee on the eldest, throw the Gildan on the children
Hand-me-down fits
Chest pass, see mist off rotation (Swish, swisha)
Stiff smile just like I’m Aphex Twin (Yeah, come to daddy, yeah)
Pat the Patagonia pockets, tryna find my zip (uh, where it’s at? Yeah)
Blunt twist, tightropes, I’m not fallin’ off (never that, no)
Watch friends, go pro through fisheye lens, drownin’ off clear
I just saw JAWS, divin’ under influence
Been feelin’ like the Lord just out of reach for me (for me)
How I feel lettin’ man speak
How I feel lettin’ man speak for me (for me)
Holyfield, keep your ears split for me
Can’t show my face if you spit for me
Spit for me, yeah

[Chorus]
Feelings you provide
Feelings you provide
I know, I know it
The feelings I, the feelings, I know it, I
Feelings you provide
Feelings you provide
I know it, I know it
The feelings, I know it, the feelings, I, I

[Outro]
Tonight I might change my life, all for you, all for you
Provide
