What is recorded here
David Byrne is a birthplace in County Dublin, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who left that place ran fields until his knees ached, chasing a leather ball across grass that no longer remembers his name. Maybe he was born on the last day of April in 1905, when rain and celebration share the same sky. Imagine a child learning that distance is not the same as forgetting, because a field can hold a life long after the life has left it.
