The Kim Deal vocals really take many pixies songs to the next level. There is something about her voice that takes me to a special place even after all these years.
@@victorbuzana3997 Pixies were 100% ahead of the curve on the grunge sound of the early 90s. Cobain was worried people would think they were ripping them off for the loud-quiet-loud dynamic that Pixies are well known for.

Nah. Back then there were plenty of bands that were fronted by ordinary-looking looking white guys but hit superstar status. Huey Lewis, The Cars, Phil Collins, The Outfield, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp, George Thorogood, even Steve Miller and a bunch more really. Things were nowhere near as image-concious back then and not every artist had to have a team of stylists and PR people crafting their persona.
@@rickelmonoggin Hmmm I think I missed it, too... I would agree that things were less image-conscious (especially in alternative/college radio-rock). I would add REM to the list. PS I'm not sure about the "white guys" distinction though
Sounds like one guy who can write interesting tunes and a completely disinterested average band backing him, not that strange of a phenomenon in the music world.
roosterrugburn Just a basic overdrive pedal, and playing their instruments. Incredible songwriting. Simple songs that are easy to play, with just the perfect notes in the perfect places. As Santiago once said, "I don't shred. Plenty of other people that do that."
@@mixedreactions714 What are you on about? Perhaps I'd have agreed with you back in 1990 but today, they've hit cultural icon status. I mean fuck, they closed Fight Club. Every D-grade cover band has covered them and they're getting even more love from the newer generations today. Cobain even said his biggest influence were The Pixies. Doolittle is regarded as one of the best albums of all time and practically everyone loves their music. Tl;dr: The Pixies are highly appreciated and beloved
Right. Before I knew much about the band I thought that sound was an effect or something not a person standing in front of a mic. Amazing. So fucking cool, an instant original sound.
mikewayda I thought this was 90s or early 2000s. They sound ahead of their time. I was so surprised when I found out this was a product of the 80s. Love this song still.
I bought my first Pixies CD (Doolittle) in 1989. Wish I could have seen them live back then. Firma Onrust was a music programme of the Dutch VPRO broadcaster.
That's because most every 90's band plagiarized their style. They single-handedly invented the 90's sound and had many copycats, but few (if any at all) disciples.
This song gives me the feeling of finishing a good book or series or something and facing real life and stuff, wishing the book was longer and I was still reading it
It's such a weird thing, but i just absolutely LOVE how the drums kick in on this song. It's one of my favourite things about it. There's something so unique about it that if you isolated that 1 second you'd know right away it was this song.
It's because it's just the kick and snare for almost the entire thing. He doesn't ride the high hat or do fills, he hits it once every 8 bars, it looks like. It's just boom boom - pop, boom boom - pop.
Kim Deal really was the heart of the Pixies sound. Her backing vocals and her bass-playing are legendary, in rock circles. And I feel after their comeback in 2014, their sound did get softer and went in more of an indie rock direction.
@@universe1225 she hadd the right amount of input. if she had more it wouldn't be The Pixies. there's a balance and they had it right. When she wanted more it would have changed the overall thing into something different.

I was a Pixies fan from the start, and even saw them in a 400 year old music hall in Geneva, Switzerland in the late 80's when I went over there to teach. One of the best concerts ever AND intimate. You could practically touch the band, and a great floor for dancing.
Timeless sure... but I wouldn't say ahead of their time. They're not doing anything special here except write and play good songs. Music is a derivative medium
Eric Martin this came out in 87 I believe, the popular genres in the 80s were, post punk, goth, metal, and synth pop, this sounds like a late 90s indie/alternative song due to the electric messy guitar tone and the vocals, sounds nothing like an 80s song very impressive

For an underground band, this song was everywhere when I was in middle school. That is in Raleigh NC. I think they pulled the Led Zep trick, and convinced everyone who hears them for the first time that they just discovered The Pixies. Heck, Nirvana cited them as one of their biggest influences. Maybe growing up in a college town does that. I was into REM at the same time too.

But I was with friends going somewhere else and we kept moving, but only my body I must say. If I wondered then "where is my mind", it was in that bar. A special moment!
Jason Howard Don't know about "the best", but I'd say they're by far more influential and seminal than a certain trio from Aberdeen that always inexplicably gets mentioned in the same breath as some of music's all-time heavy hitters.
The memories this brings back, it sounds just as fresh as the first time I heard it, and I can't say that for many bands. Kim, you just ate up that haunting siren call, and steady base, the song would not have been what it is without you. What a wonderful, simple tune.
Thank you George! Jesus christ....”the chick on the bass”. Some nerve. Though to be fair, if he’d written it like The Chick On The Bass, i could understand
Ah yes, the song from the movie that brought me to my favourite band of all time. The oh so haunting ''ooooohhhhhh" and guitar riff will live with me forever and for that I am grateful.
This song was my ex’s favorite song and although we are no longer together or speak, I still listen to it every now and then drunk to make myself sad. I can still hear her sing it.
My brothers funeral was last Thursday 4/3/20 a day after my birthday and this was the song we picked for him before the curtains came down around him . Sadly died of a heroine overdose . It was a well suited tune 👊
Jezz. Sorry to hear. Honestly. You picked out the best song for him. He would have..and does...love it. The best choice. My condolences. Internet hug. x
Imagine having the opportunity to hear this live when it first came out. Like 'holy shit, I'll remember this moment, through good and bad marriages, and long years, and roadtrips down and back, up and down mountains, to the worst moment of my life, and the best moment of my beautiful life.
The first Pixies song I got to know, as the girl living one floor lower in my student house kept playing it on one of her tapes. Next week will see them life in Amsterdam, can not wait for it.
The "hooo" vocals are amazing
Distinctive to be sure
That song isn't the same without them. Haunting with that riff. Never got to see them live.
The Kim Deal vocals really take many pixies songs to the next level. There is something about her voice that takes me to a special place even after all these years.

One of the things that I love about Pixies is that the manage to sound as closely as possible to the original record.
I prefer this live version over any other tuned version by far
I think it’s cause the records have such a real sound, you can hear the room echo on vocals and acoustic guitar, it sounds so awesome
@@AnnoyingOrange420 Steve Albini produced and that is how he does it. Minimize production, maximise energy.

winilula totally agree!!! Just turned 40! I remember having all this on cassette tape walking to school
Even after all these years they remain the best band in the world
I preferred Kim's band The Breeders but okay.
Only like Pixies that sound like Kim influence! :)

Don't know about "the best", but I'd say they're by far more influential and seminal than a certain trio from Aberdeen that always inexplicably gets mentioned in the same breath as some of music's all-time heavy hitters.
You just can't beat pure rock n roll poetry, Kim is the real Deal , long live the Pixies , credit to all
This song means everything to me. I absolutely love it.
To say this song was ahead of it's time is an understatement. This song exists in it's own world. So amazing.
You met me at a very strange time in my life.
+liam kirk Exactly
ahahah i get it
Is that an opening line from "Brief Interviews with Horrible Men?
Don't forget to add "and in a freakishly unusual way."
coreycox2345 No it really isnt
The simplicity of the background vocals and acoustic guitar accompaniment make this song so hauntingly complex. A true classic.
The memories this brings back, it sounds just as fresh as the first time I heard it, and I can't say that for many bands. Kim, you just ate up that haunting siren call, and steady base, the song would not have been what it is without you. What a wonderful, simple tune.
This track is pure genius...
Still love it. Always will.
Ich wusste nicht, dass Lieder , vor vielen Jahren mal so wichtig waren, heute so essenziell sein könnten.
Been singing and rocking this song nearly 30yrs, and this is the first time I have ever actually *seen* the Pixies :D
I love how the chick on the bass can't stop laughing 😂
That's the one and only Kim Deal
Thank you George! Jesus christ....”the chick on the bass”. Some nerve. Though to be fair, if he’d written it like The Chick On The Bass, i could understand
Chick is high as a kite lol
She was probably high
“the chick on the bass”
Ah yes, the song from the movie that brought me to my favourite band of all time. The oh so haunting ''ooooohhhhhh" and guitar riff will live with me forever and for that I am grateful.
Kim Deal- the best “HOO-ooo!” since 1986.
This song was my ex’s favorite song and although we are no longer together or speak, I still listen to it every now and then drunk to make myself sad. I can still hear her sing it.
Buena novia debió ser jeejej
Omar Damian I feel that. Hope things get better
Omar Damian :( stay up champ
Be kind to yourself friend.
我好希望活在他們活躍的那個年代，並且在台下欣賞他們閃耀的時刻
Siguen dando conciertos
Who's still listening in March 2024?
I am
Still trying to find it
Here
Everyone
Everyone ❤
My brothers funeral was last Thursday 4/3/20 a day after my birthday and this was the song we picked for him before the curtains came down around him . Sadly died of a heroine overdose . It was a well suited tune 👊
Jezz. Sorry to hear. Honestly. You picked out the best song for him. He would have..and does...love it. The best choice. My condolences. Internet hug. x
Sorry for your loss 😢 I would love for this to be the last song I listen to before I die
Rip to your brother :( I hope you’re doing well
Sorry for your loss
RIP 🙏
Imagine having the opportunity to hear this live when it first came out. Like 'holy shit, I'll remember this moment, through good and bad marriages, and long years, and roadtrips down and back, up and down mountains, to the worst moment of my life, and the best moment of my beautiful life.
The first Pixies song I got to know, as the girl living one floor lower in my student house kept playing it on one of her tapes. Next week will see them life in Amsterdam, can not wait for it.
Tremendo,impactante,tengo 72 abriles y no paro de sorprenderme con estos tamaños de talentos,gracias por el vídeo 👏👏👏👏👏🥰👍🙏🇦🇷
Pixies look like the people who set up the stage and everything for the pixies before the show
..Gotta love ‘em
This song was so ahead of it's time and never gets old.
My parents kissed to this song at their prom while I was trying not to disappear from existence.
@@KKDriver What? His comment was only a week ago, and i think it was a reference to Back to the Future
I think he was calling it "ahead of its time"
Marty?
oh your so back to the future
Can I borrow your Toyota 4x4?
Did you play it with Marvin Cobain
They had such an amazing raw but melodic sound, very fond but slightly intoxicated memories.
Oh man, still such an amazing song... gets me every time...
Song and band 😎
