You're expecting Joey's guitar and it goes all softer than you think. It's nice to see the bones of the song, something like he would have orginally demoed to show the others the song. But on it's own it's deliciously fragile. What an artist.

as a fantasy and science fiction reader, i like the mythology and paranormal references in his songs. his voice and Kim's voice were magical together, and he sounds good here by himself
I love his lyrics. Good that he remains faithful to his initial rendition of his songs in terms of tone and pace. I'm not a big fan of reworking stuff. Shows that he clearly likes his own work and doesn't need to lazily deliver it differently through boredom.
"Underrated" there's that nonsense YT category again.... I don't know anyone that knows their apples from their pears that'd dare to utter such a nonsensical claim. People like you with your addiction to making big claims based on your narrow view make me laugh. Idiot
Hold my head, we'll trampoline Finally through the roof onto somewhere near and far in time Velouria, her covering, traveling career She can really move, oh, Velveteen My Velouria, my Velouria Even I'll adore you, my Velouria Even I'll adore you, my Velouria Say to me, where have you been?

thank you for posting this. i wish he could have told the story uninterrupted. i never knew what this song was about before this. it makes me love the song all over again.
My favorite Pixies song by far. Love the Weezer cover as well. I had a summer romance end today with the girl moving away. There was nothing I could do but loop this song...
@@nathanb5579 Yes. I wish it were a happier story over a decade later, but unfortunately it's not. I still think about her some, and she did reach out a few times and tell me I was the best man she ever met, but that's where the story ends. Occasionally I'll reminisce on the good memories, but now that I'm out of the haze of infatuation, I can see I was really just a rebound. C'est la vie.
I still just can't believe how many good songs this guy has written. Not just with Pixies, but the Frank Black solo albums are ridiculous as well. Get Teenager of the Year if you don't have it already!
That is a theremin, an electronic instrument designed 100 years ago! Fascinating instrument, played without using physical contact. Basically you use your hands to control the pitch and volume.
@Louquivole I can't even describe how crazy it's been, but there is hope. I saw her a couple months after posting and will see her again in a few weeks! :D
@machbaby Fmsus4. I think it's called. Barre the 1st and 2nd (and 6th, normally) strings with your 1st finger at the 1st fret, then barre the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings at the 3rd fret with a flattened 3rd finger - or use your little finger: like an A chord shape moved up one fret. looks like he probably mutes the 6th string.or just doesn't barre it. hope this helps.
he doesnt ramble. when he explains his songs he doesn't want to confuse people with his strange musings. So he hesitates to explain something because he knows they won't understand. I hear him do this often.
shows how people cant just listen anymore, they always need to cut to the chase, well thats not the school where real talents like Frank come from, they understand history and philosophy and feel like explaining sometimes, why the newer generations have nothing these days, just bullshit ppl
Lemuria was actually a scientific hypothesis from the 1840s - the Geologist who proposed it noted that there were Lemurs in Madagascar and India so he posited there was a sunken continent that connected them in a distant time. Then, after WWII, soñar and radar mapped the oceans and the theory of plate tectonics was proven by the planetary oceanic rifts. Some still hold to Lemuria as a real place but it was a fairly recent invention that is not supported by the actual scientific proof once ocean floors were mapped. Some say Atlantis was in what is now Saharan Africa - the climate was wet until well after the last ice age and was where Imperial Rome got its wheat until a few centuries after the Empire was formed North Africa became too arid to grow wheat.
I was wanting to do a cover of this and never realized what kim was saying at the end, I thought she was just kinda singing a melody but no real words. Now i see that she was singing VE - L - O - U - R I A. ...cool.
I think this is my favorite Pixies song.
His explanation of the song has left it making less sense than before, however.
He met a chick who whos ethnic background ties her to limuria, but velouria means like hairy and he is referring to her as that because she was hairy
google Velour
whoa
the less the pixies musics make sense the better....
well it does make sense but you would have to be smart to get the references... that´s why it doesn´t make sense to you.
maan, everything about this band is just so magical
1000 times yes
i agree
You said this seven years ago and I’m still coming back to it at the wee hours all these years later. Magical is an understatement.
@@UbiDoobyBanooby He did say he had an encounter with a Lemurian.
Pixies music is like an entire universe of their own. Their music has an atmosphere to it that just transports you to a different place.
You're expecting Joey's guitar and it goes all softer than you think. It's nice to see the bones of the song, something like he would have orginally demoed to show the others the song. But on it's own it's deliciously fragile. What an artist.
I've been listening to this song for the past 5 years, and I never realized Kim Deal is singing "V-E-L-O-U...R-I-A" until I heard this version.
I didn't realize it until you mentioned it, and I've been listening to it for the past 14 years.
ive been listening to this song for 15 and I always thought vit was really love you bye bye babe . lol
I've been listening to it for 600 years
Indeed. I was unaware Deal was singing that.
Beautiful song, even more so with this acoustic version.
always thought she said eeeeeoooh ra ra re
His explanation of this song made me love it more...didn't ever realize he was on board with the Lemuria thing.
My 26 year old daughter is named Velouria. The most Beautiful and brilliant person i know under 90.. Objectively stunning and original, totally intellectually nimble, the heart of a poet and Jesus. A Creator and muse kind of creation. I Love You Velouria Leigh 8897
One of 14 reasons why Bossanova is as great as that which preceded it.
Could watch him do solo acoustic stuff all day.
I would never have thought that a simple acoustic version of this classic sing could come across this well, but he totally kills it. So beautiful.
why does this make me want to cry? I love it.
The somberness of wisdom is relentless
so well said
Effeminate weekness?
Because it's so beautiful 🎼❤️ me too
@@franklinbumgartener1323 Binaural beats, propaganda, mind control, at the end of the... weekness. Learn to spell before you say who's weak.
I love all the stories behind Frank's songs, they're so straight forward yet intriguing, like the songs themselves!
Magnifique!!! Frank et sa bande ont enflammé l'olympia de Paris hier soir... C'était trop bien....
Ils ont joues Velouria?

Yea, it's so annoying when artists do this to their own songs, but it's understandable to a degree
hes such an underrated rhythm guitarist
and writer/singer as well. the complete package
"Underrated" there's that nonsense YT category again.... I don't know anyone that knows their apples from their pears that'd dare to utter such a nonsensical claim. People like you with your addiction to making big claims based on your narrow view make me laugh. Idiot
"underrated" is the most overused word in music videos comments.
He's kinda ok
@@darkjesy7736 can you write songs as simple and as great as him?
this is the greatest explanation of a song I've ever heard.
I''m amazed. Just found this version, listened to it 7 times straight. Genius.
Genius. Pure.
Hold my head, we'll trampoline
Finally through the roof onto somewhere near and far in time
Velouria, her covering, traveling career
She can really move, oh, Velveteen
My Velouria, my Velouria
Even I'll adore you, my Velouria
Even I'll adore you, my Velouria
Say to me, where have you been?
Finally through the roof
And how does lemur skin reflect the sea?
We will wade in the shine of the ever
We will wade in the shine of the ever
We will wade in the tides of the summer, every summer
Every my Velouria, my Velouria
Forevergreen, I know she's here in California
I can see the tears of Shastasheen
My Velouria, my Velouria

@@-barth-1889 ty interesting, I like the myth
God bless Chuck Thompsons possessed mind. This guy is a brilliant!! Pixies music will stay with me forever.
Ah there he is - my god man! Perfection. xx
This song puts a lump in my throat. Don't know why.
Amazing. Never thought this one could be buskered, but he makes it beautiful and complete
Sublime composition, he's doing a very nice version rendition here, long live Pixies!
I keep coming back to this video. Wish there was more acoustic Pixie classics...
This is the man. Ive always loved pixies. Frank Black was the pixies. I miss them.
Simply.......Beautiful, I named my motorbike Velouria...it's my favourite song to sing out loud whilst riding about :)
I love this song so mich
Frank Black always reminds me of an Anglo-Saxon Buddha; so wise and mystical! :)
Haunting -- thanks for capturing this beautiful performance!
I am in awe! Such genius.
I'm so shamed at the vastnessvof my ignorance that I didn't even pick up a hint of what the true meaning was behind this sublimely beautiful song.
Yes, this is really my favourite Pixies song, a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, M
This song, Velouria, is one of my favorites! Absolutely!
And this acoustic version is amazing
thank you for posting this. i wish he could have told the story uninterrupted. i never knew what this song was about before this. it makes me love the song all over again.
He is so out of his damn mind...
This was great !!! Thanks for posting it.. Thanks for doing it MR. F
This song is incredible amazing ,so pure & so simple at the same time ,one of my favorites song ever... Charles you´re a gifted musician !!
My favorite Pixies song by far. Love the Weezer cover as well.
I had a summer romance end today with the girl moving away. There was nothing I could do but loop this song...

Did you ever see her again?
@@nathanb5579 Yes. I wish it were a happier story over a decade later, but unfortunately it's not.

So LOVE THIS SONG THIS IS MY FAVORITE PIXIES SONG 💕💕💕💕. Sounds so good after all years tears
I still just can't believe how many good songs this guy has written. Not just with Pixies, but the Frank Black solo albums are ridiculous as well. Get Teenager of the Year if you don't have it already!
He’s an occult freak and I love it.
There are none..more...
cool, calm, collected
such as this ..
Just beautiful, haunting.
Awesome story background, always loved this song first heard on kukq phoenix when it was still newly played on underground radio
Total class - a real artist.
already got it in the guitar ! i'm ready to play it for my beatifull friends by the river at night !!
Fantastic song.
One of the single best live performances ever?
holy shit batman,
frank black singing in falsetto... awesome!!!
like nectar dripping from the heavens...
Wonderful performance.
This is an amazing song I think it sounds great on acoustic.. I wish I could write songs like this guy
Saw the pixes in dublin 1991 it was brilliant
When you're a musician and you meet some chick who talks your ear off, you find a notepad.
a lot of Frank's songs have a haunting feel to them. This is a great version!
My otherworldly love always wears a dress made of velour. That's why this song reminds me of her. ❤
I can hear the accompaniment of the singing saw , or whatever the keyboard sound is ..awesome beautiful song this is
Pretty sure it's joey using a weird pedal on his guitar on something, does use that sound a lot on bossanova
That is a theremin, an electronic instrument designed 100 years ago! Fascinating instrument, played without using physical contact. Basically you use your hands to control the pitch and volume.
Brilliant 😊
Legend!!!!
legend
magical songwriter
Fucking Awesome... no other words for it. You gotta love the Lemuria speech also. Classic Charles.
Frank Black is a class act all the way! Mary Lucia had an awesome interview with him. Love The Current
Wow! Madagascar used to be called "Veloria"? This story should be in the liner notes. So freakin' awesome. You Rock Black Francis!
You clearly didn't listen
Until I heard this i liked the pixies a LOT
NOW HOW CAN I say 10,000 time more
Just wow and thank you going threw a rough scrape right now.......
Classic. Just classic.
Charles' voice sounds DAMNED GOOD in this clip. I know that he's everyone's cup of tea but he does have an exceptional voice!
I agree, but acoustic version or not, Velouria still sounds 10x cooler with Kim's feather-like wispy vocals interlaced throughout the whole song.
Your opinion.
This version of the song is insane..its like mind control.
Legend
I want to grow up to be a debaser just like you I love you buddy
I can't imaginé how good this song could sounds with Kim doing the background voice....
@ForgottenMusicSongs thank you :)
wow.... WWWOOOWWW... so simple... SOOO POWERFUL
fooking super!!!
@Louquivole I can't even describe how crazy it's been, but there is hope. I saw her a couple months after posting and will see her again in a few weeks! :D

temaso!!...

hope this helps.
En Internet hay muchos momentos épicos considero que este es uno de ellos. 😎
I love it when bands explain how they wrote their songs. That was a weird one for sure but... cool.
It was such a shock (in a good way) when he did that - just kind of chatted and .... "anyway, here's Velouria!"
i wanna go meet the mountain people!! heheh great job!
@wungabunga
That helped a lot. I think you nailed it perfectly.
Thanks.
God he rambles when he talks,but Christ when he sings...just one of the best ever.
I could listen to him "ramble" all day.
he doesnt ramble. when he explains his songs he doesn't want to confuse people with his strange musings. So he hesitates to explain something because he knows they won't understand. I hear him do this often.

That's how angels sounds....
best song intro ever
breathless
Genius
His lyrics will appear in poetry anthologies someday.
This is songwriting.
quel bonhomme, quel talent.
Epic
Weezer's version of this is quite nice. I normally dislike Pixies covers but that one is gooder than usuals.
StephenAndrew777 weird time signature on theirs, but still good. I just keep wanting it to pick up on the drums.
I listened to this on Wednesday.
Frank loves the cool, refreshing taste of Hansen's soda. It feels cool and crisp on his tongue! :)
Gotta love ya some Uncle Frank.
