I will never understand how he wrote these songs at age 21 and 22. How does he have such depth at that age? He wrote "here comes your man" at 15 years old. It blows my mind.
Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV is a genius...his songs and the way he interprets them are the solid evidence ♪ ♫ ♩ ♬ I've been enjoying his music since I was a teenager and nowadays my little son enjoys it too...
I always crank it when it gets to the "P I X I E S" part..... David's got a killer voice, I love when he does weird stuff like that, like the whistling in Something Against You.
@sannaols5582 LOL, Bowie did a cover of this song, and while Bowie's version is very good, Black Francis of the Pixies (the lead singer and guitarist wrote this song, and the Pixies delivery and version is as cryptic, howling, and as offbeat, as it gets. To me, Cactus, is the Pixies, and Black Francis.
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that i had just something you wore I put it on when i go lonely Will you take off your dress and send it to me? I miss your kissin' and i miss your head And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead Run outside in the desert heat Make your dress all wet and send it to me I miss your soup and i miss your bread And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead So spill your breakfast and drip your wine Just wear that dress when you dine P-I-X-I-E-S Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that i had just something you wore Bloody your hands on a cactus tree Wipe it on your dress and send it to me Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that i had just something you wore
no entiendo que los Pixies tocaran en ese picnic y nunca vinieran a Argentina, Uruguay o más veces a Brasil donde estadios llenos estarían con 20, 30 o 50 mil personas saltando y cantando todas sus canciones del principio al final
no critico a frank black pero te parece olvido cuando joey santiago es latino, frank black creó todo el brillo Pixie en una habitación de Puerto Rico y muchas de sus canciones tienen el español como el otro idioma. No conozco canciones de ningún disco en japonés o alemán y seguramente tocaron alli muchas veces. Estoy seguro que en una ciudad de Bolivia -sin menospreciar- disfrutaban más que esos que viajan en yate y sacan fotos con cámaras de 5000 mil dólares. Amo a los Pixies pero...
@leiposuctie i wouldnt say either of those songs are "sexy".Cactus is about a girl he wants but cant have.As for qotsa"make it wit chu" the title alone pisses me of,does he think hes a gangster rapper or somethin.basically 2 totally differnt bands

every bands best output is up to 27. After that its pretty much times up
People could say the exact same thing about Bob Dylan.
Omg
good drugs
Dave's face and Kim's laugh when he says "P-I-X-I-E-S" ( 1:36 ) is why i love the PIXIES hahaha
Been covering this genius song for 30 some years, in various bands, and still here watching (repeatedly) 2024.
Literally the best song ever
do do dedu do do dedu😎
dude that has to be the chillest concert ever. Beautiful beach, water, and really really good music. Pixies are awesome
This is true art. This is my absolute favorite band of all time.
Glad Bowie sang CACTUS on John Stewart show, Introduced me to PIXIEs...🤓
Both the Pixies and Bowie do this song GREAT justice!
I agree!! What a fan to have! Only thing I regret is only just getting into this band...still, better late than never!!
Great to see that the Pixies still have that raw edge. Fantastic sound on this. Tfp.
I always crank it when it gets to the "P I X I E S" part.....
David's got a killer voice, I love when he does weird stuff like that,
like the whistling in Something Against You.
as far as I'm concerned, life comes down to this: water, air, and pixies.
love
CACTUS! I was doing this acoustic back in the 90's
So stoked to see this version!
I want to marry this song !
Class!
Thanks for posting.
My favorite pixies song.
P...I...X...I...E...S
god, i love kim's bass. that's just monstrous.
Mannnn, this song lighten the room, the life, the day... Sexiest rhythm ever
Brilliant lyrics Frank!
that was awesome
You know what, I'm so done with sarcasm. A compliment. Why clutter the world with sarcasm? Hey, I think I'm special too. :)
I love this too, awesome!!!
Nothing will ever compare to this.
@bigerch85 nobody said anything about comparing the songs to each other, we're talking about how sexy they are
Joey's just like, "Yeah, I'm a badass. Deal with it".

buuuuuuu wish someone felt that way about me too :(.Those lyrics are just...beyond words :O
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that i had just something you wore
I put it on when i go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?
I miss your kissin' and i miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me
I miss your soup and i miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine
P-I-X-I-E-S
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that i had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that i had just something you wore
even the fucking quiet version rocks........
Today, I was outside, peeing on a cactus. Then all of a sudden my dog jumped on my back, knocking me into the cactus.
Here in 2022 still loving this!
Genial. Buena a nivel de ser interpretada por David Bowie.
kim is beyond cool
Black Friar (the guy singing) of the Pixies wrote "Cactus".
Black Francis
You are special.
Nobody. Does darker, better than the pixies. Bowie's version is pretty much karaoke. .. and I like karaoke.
@leiposuctie how dare you compare QOTSA and the pixies,a different class my friend!!!!
david bowie cover is wonderful
Did they do this? Is this the original? Or did Bowie do the original and this is a cover? I have no idea, it's not that I'm ignorant.
this is the original
uaaaa
great
@7Estrel i only find queen and pink floyd important on that list, and i stil find the pixies more influential than both combined
`you should check out the swell seasons cover...excellant!
Man. I just want to sit on warm grass and get a little stoned before the lights go out.
no entiendo que los Pixies tocaran en ese picnic y nunca vinieran a Argentina, Uruguay o más veces a Brasil donde estadios llenos estarían con 20, 30 o 50 mil personas saltando y cantando todas sus canciones del principio al final
@carmenismyname
hahaha, the sickest guys don´t have tatoos or caps, they live in the "grown up world" ;)
P-A-T-R-K
@sannaols5582 This is not boring, its perfect... and david made it gayier not sexyier
is this a pixies original or a bowie original?

hamsterinablender -geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, yes the Pixies original, and Bowies' version. I realise I mis-spoke-give it a rest, will ya?
@kellyrosello Cover something PAYING copyrights is NOT stealing. Get your facts!
Covered by Bowie ...
@sannaols5582 i was trying to use gayier like an expression to say that his version isnt even near to be as good as pixies version.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
@lonelygnome1 and cactus
!
@bluecrow00 i know!!
aseeek... tarik maaang blek
Balls to Monty!
I'm osteosarcoma! I think we'll get along juuuust fine.
turduckenband - well then I guess that's what I am for thinking hamsterinablender is a sick nickname.
powerful song, especially played out in the sun heat!
ha.
@leiposuctie i wouldnt say either of those songs are "sexy".Cactus is about a girl he wants but cant have.As for qotsa"make it wit chu" the title alone pisses me of,does he think hes a gangster rapper or somethin.basically 2 totally differnt bands
Sorry, Black Francis, NOT BLACK FRIAR-oooopppps
@ChuckyTheGoat cement floor
@irshgrl500 EDGY, that's the fucking word!
I feel this exact way about a girl...
this reminds me of my baby girl sugar bunny-
@7Estrel Shhh
Pixes vs QOTSA no contest. Pixes were are still are leaders not followers
Well, I do like the Pixies' version a lot better! It is so edgy.
David Bowie brought me here.
Oh dear. Even Bowie would say he brought nothing to the version on Heathen. You are about as wrong as a body can be. ..And I like Bowie.
Every band has those stupid combos on UA-cam...But let's leave Pixies raw. We don't need those little logo comments.
Welcome to hell pal.
Ахуй
Normal? You must be American.
Besides. I think Cactus is the weakest track on Heathen.
in this performance it kinda looked like a "boys club" maybe that is why kim left?
