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, and at the time, it didn’t get a music video.

Head-heads are in luck with a fantastic, better-late-than-never video marking the anniversary. Directed by Mike Mills, the short stars Irish actor Saoirse Ronan as she voyages across the spectrum of human emotions during her daily grind. Watch it on Vimeo.
