Iris: The Breeders

[@mcmark82]

Bloody hell. One of the best of their songs. Still sends shivers and make my hair hairs stand on ends. I was just a young teenage girl when I heard them. True legends.

[@gammacount1328]

Kim & thé Breeders play rock'n'roll !

[@jeffmarzick714]

The beginnings of the grunge era. I'm with you. A bad ass song for the ages!

[@warshipsatin8764]

not just one of their best songs, its one of the best songs

[@djillicit2844]

I saw them open for Nirvana. The album was the soundtrack of my youth. Goddesses they truly are!

[@ghop09er]

#same! @ the cow palace in the bay area

[@bluefishblitz9577]

I always loved how Kim forces out the 'hour by hour' on this song. It's like when there's no breath left and still that last line left to sing.

[@perincito]

Growing up in a small town, NOBODY was listening along to this with me. There is no way listening to this doesn't take me right back to being 14-15 years old, all over again.

[@carpexomnis]

Same

Hey fren!!! 🤣

[@ronnieguillot8519]

Dude...I live in New Orleans and it took some of my former friends 5 years to start appreciating them.....notice ... FORMER

[@randallguyton1663]

Now we all do with you! Past is prologue?

[@justrelax1872]

I almost forget how much I love kim. Just from her voice, just her voice in surfer rosa. Best female musicians of all the time for me.

[@silastraughber-hill6116]

I was named after this song! Will always love this song.

[@ispirit8554]

Well then you should see that: "Oh, come on people, any Breeders fan should know what this song is about. Kim has explained its meaning many times -- it's about the menstrual cycle. Some people call it "the monthly visitor" or "Aunt Flo". Kim calls her period "Iris"."

[@silastraughber-hill6116]

I guess I should talk to my mother about this.

[@Jim26D]

+Iris Traughber- Hill lol

[@tarwagon]

Riz i love your mom! Anyone who names their child after a Breeders song has to be awesome lol

[@AshleyPomeroy]

It could be worse. They could have called you Hellbound Mad Lucas.

[@pigmeatmartin9418]

I used to play the Hell out of this song. Heavy rotation on your radio dial. Josie Wiggs is one killer bass player.

[@maxcohen13]

If you weren't moved by that check your pulse, because you're dead.

[@pinkoslayer]

😂

[@mantaray6324]

Only Kim Deal can make voice cracking seem legit

[@gavinp1007]

Kurt Cobain?

[@blown22]

+Manta Ray Merry Clayton

[@Dulcimerist]

Macy Gray (Just kidding!)

[@PapaKakaes]

Manta Ray her and Kurt and a few others... very rare gift

[@arjenlaan4103]

Heh, and I was just musing that this song has a bit of a Sinéad vibe ;-)

[@wayneelliott7011]

One of the Great Vocal Performances in the history of Music.

[@mrkanangra]

I have this on the original VHS tape - The absolute BEST VHS ever!, remember buying at record store here in Sydney, Australia....I have EVRY Breedrs record/cd etc and the Pixies....best 2 bands EVER!!!!!!!! -

[@gammacount1328]

Why listening and watching to this band make me so good and alive?

[@Tokiofritz]

Makes me sound so old, but as much as I search, I can't seem to find any new bands with this amazing combination of personality, attitude, intelligence and talent.

[@vincentharris8552]

Look up Crayon Pop.

[@colonelspaceboots]

look up cosmonauts "oh you know"

[@Tokiofritz]

@@vincentharris8552 Thanks, I will!

[@Tokiofritz]

@@colonelspaceboots I'm on it!

[@rjwusher]

Deerhoof?

[@hawkberry1500]

Reminds me of making mixtapes as a teen. Throw in Veruca Salt's '25', Fugazi's 'Suggestion', etc. to make your ears beg for more. We had it so effing grand back in the 90s

[@goosiechild]

Iris is sleeping over, and boy is this my jam right now.

[@w00denstar]

I love love love them so much ,her voice is ace

[@marSLaZZ66]

Love that song so much !! Back in the days !!

[@jamesperry5430]

ahhh! not heard for sooo long, gave me goosebumps again !

[@PapaKakaes]

James Perry same

[@kurro7902]

Increíble como rompe la.voz y recupera sin esfuerzo en la siguiente nota. Impresionante

[@synthoelectro]

I have a theory and I'm 36 now, growing up to music like this in my teens made me who I am today. Kids today don't grow up to this great music "today", and they don't follow the past like the past followed the past. Everyone jumped ship and couldn't swim and lost their edge, that's what I believe happened.

[@Jim26D]

TRL ruined music, along with biy bands, Britney, and the Latin explosion all the same year. What was left of alt. music was bordering pop rock. I'm so grateful I was a teen in the early 90s and can look back and see how amazing this sound was. I really miss it

[@katelennon6869]

I agree !!

[@chadolivernunn]

Solid theory.

[@oyoystein]

I have a theory that in each and every generation throughout history, there are people who thinks the next one is lost. They are, and always have been, wrong.

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

the music of today is called: Kardashians. We live the last great era of rock, 50, 60, 70s, 80s, 90s and that is! rock is dead! period!

[@shanemcfadden6427]

Truly great rock....

[@destro513]

Well plus I'm from Dayton so they're a bit of a hometown hero to me.. I bumped into them a couple years ago at borders and tripped and fell all over myself.. haha!

[@Dios67]

Verruca Salt were def inspired by The Breeders... I can hear them in this song.

[@ALK-le6pv]

Yes, I think Louise more than Nina would have loved this song for its edge. Both have made no secret of being big fans of The Breeders, and I assume a reason why they had Steve Albini produce their EP is because of Pod.

[@OomaGooma]

The “hour by hour” part of the song always reminds me of the countdown until I go back to the Methadone clinic for the daily dose.

[@Brokenface]

This song Is ace! Always pumps me up

[@transonic8]

This is from the album, Pod. The live version was on No Alternative.

[@BunnymanVids]

Wow I never knew they had a video for this! Thanks for posting!! I never thought the Pixies were that great, but I love The Breeders!!!

[@arpharsed]

How did I miss this? Amazing! Thank you.

[@3ll3st3]

ah la la les Breeders je vous aime toujours autant, en perfusion auditive depuis mes 13 ans soit 15 ans d'amour sincère!

[@TheGomJabba]

Four hours in the pot, one hour out It grows and I sleep standing up When Iris sleeps over What a book she'll write Oh last night Oh come on, nobody wants that Sister, sister, oh We tried hour by hour Hour by hour Hour by hour Four hours to daylight, four hours and then Pour water on me til I live again When Iris sleeps over It'll be alright All last night But come on, nobody wants that Sister, sister, oh We tried hour by hour Hour by hour Hour by hour

[@MadastheHatter13]

TheGomJabba Defiantly sergeant pepper influenced lyrics, just musical sounding nonsense like 'Tea kettles standing in marmalade margins.'

[@TheGomJabba]

You have a way with words, Madas.

[@therespectedlex9794]

Yeah that either was the Beatles or you, not these lasses. They're just whinging about Iris Murdoch, and not fooling around enough on sleep overs.

[@bradfield2266]

It's "in the pod" not pot -- pod as in the name of the album. And "wait by hour by hour"

[@sluitersful]

Is Iris Murdock worth reading? Any particular you book you think inspired this song. Was reading her Wikipedia, sounds like my kind of gal.

[@oldmategio]

Rocking the seagull acoustic guitar into the Marshall. Kim is definition of "cool"

[@lucasmelo010]

She has the vibe

[@bargan723]

Nessuno, nessuno è più bravo di voi.

[@synthoelectro]

wasn't Pod the album that Kurt loved?

[@JohnDoe-xf8ew]

yup!

[@mundaneallaround]

Was just thinking that, yep!

[@synthoelectro]

@@mundaneallaround I can't believe I wrote that 7 years ago. Further more, I can't believe 7 years have gone by since I wrote that :

[@mundaneallaround]

@@synthoelectro Albini recorded pod whick is one of the reasons Kurt wanted to record with him for in utero.Pod is an amazing album.I didn't know that Britt Walford played drums on it until way later.There are pod Demos online somewhere that are alot faster tempo wise but still cool to hear.

[@synthoelectro]

@@mundaneallaround yeah, I recall Albini doing that.

[@timjenkins4065]

Is thisKim Deal?… I’m sure, but I’ll look it up, it rocks!

[@angelotsi849]

Late reply but yes, it is. Also her twin sister Kelly on guitar.

[@Crackity_Jones.]

1:53 One of the coolest riffs ever

[@steve_22xy]

i love it too. so intense

[@coloneldecker]

It's good, but I prefer Tanya's guitar work on the album. It's more urgent and intense.

[@elspackodelsol]

Kim Deal is the Real Deal

[@sephgoons]

After watching "Seize The Seconds". Thanks Cons! ❤️

[@Dios67]

Did Kelly miss her cue for a guitar fill? Kim and Jo were looking at her like "where are you?"

[@jamesmckee329]

That's because Tanya Donnelly should be there

[@fantomaeronautics1148]

Doesnt matter if she did coz Kelley is cool as fxck.

[@saidlec]

just perfect!! Kim is the best

[@mohamedhabchi9189]

Tank you Saïd!

[@latincooligan]

Great video. Love The Breeders! Thanks for sharing :)

[@johnasee2049]

Pre-grunge was fucking OP.

[@amberlewis5088]

i watch this once a day to remind myself I’m still alive

[@Soundwasteland]

I agree,The Breeders just have more soul and feeling

[@belllabean]

couldn't agree more! some of us do our best to still LIVE here :)you can tell by reading all the comments, hah :P

[@stevenpalmer8058]

I wish I had discovered this in my youth! This almost sounds folk like to me.

[@miked4309]

i love the pixies....saw them last year....but i would say i love the pixies cuz of kim. kelly is cool too.

[@joelfortenberry7865]

Tonya plays the bass like she's 6 feet tall. ( In front of Kim - I guess you have to) love how the music is so ominous - and the vocals are so howling.

[@angelotsi849]

Thats not Tonya, it's Josephene. Tonya had already left the Breeders to from Belly.

[@GLOWoftheABYSS]

@sofiabailote yeah i was thinking the same , same ritual, ipnotic groove...and the vocals when she goes louder

[@argonauta1674]

esto es lo más muy genial música y estilo, ahí se nota el peso que tuvo luego en pixis

[@markpeterman5371]

Wow!! Soooo good. Way better than the studio version in my opinion.

[@bean7280]

What are you on crack

[@PapaKakaes]

Katon Robona lol

[@vinnyv0129]

i really dig the slower tempo in this version

[@SupermasiveHole]

el grunge no esta muerto...vive en temas como este...

[@blueswasthecatalyst7758]

I am very new to the Breeders. I can see why Kurt Cobain ssid Kim Deal needs to write more Pixie's songs. Im not sure how they passed me by. They sre up there with the best grunge alternative bands. Ive heard.

[@piopio353]

I love the Breeders and I love Pod.

[@jaramatthews6176]

Im cracking up. I picture a mom "gee, iris sure has beem sleeping over a lot" "Oh, shes writing a book!!" yeah What a book she writes!

[@iamthewalrus604]

@veryirishdude ya it does.... werent alice in chains and the breeders in the sAME ERA (the 90s)

[@aureol40012]

Kim introduced me to the concept that a woman’s voice could be sexier than any pin up.

[@hamtrak]

Kelley stopping to drag on a butt..... thought only Kim did that. 1:26.

[@PapaKakaes]

hamtrak good eye

[@OBudful]

Damn this is good

[@timjenkins4065]

It was Kelley deal, just missed 😁

[@sidneycollier74]

I love when she sings and makes that sexy face!!!!!🥰😎

[@Soundwasteland]

only 13,547 views vs 100. million views of new pop i feel sorry for the world

[@ChiHavalina]

" They didn ´t want it but he built it anyway - little eiffel , little eiffel - " dun dun dun du du du du du du du na na na ... " Yeah .

[@timjenkins4065]

Like both bands honestly

[@killerruiz]

I Love u KIM !!!!

[@elimtevir1]

This song got me through the fucking Iraq war.

[@jamesfox8930]

i like le bass

[@musicfiend648]

@destro513 Nothing to do with cool. Nothing to do with better than. It just is and it's amazing.

[@kuangservants5519]

sound like 'you know you are right' by nirvana

[@regntonne]

This band's and Nirvana's vocalists could be interchangeable and both bands would sound just as awesome.

[@nickishaye2476]

Kurt really admired Kim. I believe they were friends before his passing. ❤️

[@shanemcfadden6427]

This song and The Go-Go's We Got The Beat prove women can rock the casbah just as well as the boys! KIM DEAL IS GOD

[@aricollins7007]

Anyone know if this version is available on any album?

[@avirosenfeld1040]

Is from a compilation called No Alternative

[@aricollins7007]

Avi Rosenfeld Thankyou!!

[@akuadalahsiapa8550]

Beautiful crack

[@vincevirtua]

which version? there are about 5 line-ups..

[@jamesalvarado1415]

next album please

[@glenesis]

James Alvarado All Nerve, you got it buddy :)

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

I love Kim Deal

[@alivesay12]

pour water on me until I live again

[@danielbliss287]

What's the venue?

[@BluntForceTrauma603]

their definitely amazing but i wouldn't go that far man

[@hayotro]

There's No Alternative ;)

[@yrMomIsHere]

Classic. Always.

[@luvliesbleeding]

this is so fucking badass im gna cry

[@detswbeach]

I Agree,...But most people don't deserve this great music

[@3chrds]

i dont think i could say that the breeders are worse than the pixies though. The Breeders could be thought of as The Pixies, but with them doing Kim's songs instead of Frank Black Francis's's.

[@musicfiend648]

Genious

[@siXer502]

I love Kim Deal.

[@TheBoatynoh]

i couldn't do that but i hear you. theres nothing like the breeders. and i totally respect anyone that could shelf them above the pixies because thats no easy decision. kim and kelly fucked me up something special ca. '90. high art.

[@emilybryyson5760]

GEEEZUZ FUCKIN' CHRIST!! (Clinches fist to the rock Gods)!!!!

[@Soundwasteland]

0 dislikes as it should be the song reminds me of early Soundgarden,the intro everything.

[@mattdavis8573]

So rad.

[@nowavevermeer8569]

this song always reminds me of jane s addictions. ... so breeders and kim plus jane s ... done.... i need a cigarette now

[@hubblebublumbubwub5215]

This version really does. Not sure about the album version.

[@juliaangelina1984]

Yeah I agree.

[@youtubeseagull]

i'm this pissed off too

[@ChiHavalina]

Arhw... ahm . A little to far mayhaps ? Well I like the breeders . Really . But I ´ll stay with the pixies . I think the doors , Nirvana and lately the pixies remain my all time faves . There are others too but these three , man - like Iggy Pop would say ... it ´s the combination . ^^

[@glenesis]

Chills

[@Soundwasteland]

It's a shame that the bass guitarist and drummer left after ''Last Splash'' because I think they are the greatest out of all the drummers and bass guitarists.

[@rickyflores3298]

❤Kim Deal is my idol ❤

[@roejogan8]

pod is the best

[@DrHydro-mq7sw]

cool
