Pixies → Hey/Gigantic (live)

[@LaughingStock_]

"Hey" is astonishing, just momentous. Scratch beneath the surface and this seemingly normal song is writhing with complicated shit. A masterpiece. And one of the most important bands in modern music.

[@muradlekov3679]

truly a mastarpiece my friend

[@paulsnow2509]

Couldn't agree more

[@miguelpereira7934]

"My reading of the song is that it is told from the point of view of a mentally unstable man who is sexually obsessed with a woman. (This is a VERY common theme in Pixies songs!) He refers to his obsession with sex and possibly patronising prostitutes (‘Hey, must be a devil between us or whores in my head/Whores at my door, whores in my bed’) and his feeling that he and the lady are inextricably linked (‘If you go, I will surely die. We're chained….’) Things then get wierd, with a section that sounds like a child or a developmentally disabled person describing sex (‘Uh, said the man to the lady/ Uh, said the lady to the man she adored…’) and then gets disturbing with the whined and then shrieked line: (‘Uh, is the sound that the mother makes when the baby breaks’) before returning to the ‘chained’ refrain."...Sven something....

Funny Kim doesn't consider herself a real bass player when she wrote one of the greatest songs of all time focused around her bass playing.

[@dokkenrox]

+Weedz420 She was definitely a real bass player but she didn't write that song.

[@osckarq5211]

the grunge bass sound was made by Kim thats enough!!! well all Pixies sound was replicated by nirvana, Alice in Chain, pearljam etc etc

I was born in the 80's, my parents were into rock music, and I'm from New England yet my parents have never heard of the Pixies. So glad I found them on my own.

[@simonneal9512]

Bigger in the UK in the 80's and 90's than they were in the US.

[@Darrenski]

That's cause your parents were listening to bon Jovi and motley cru. The pixies were mostly big in England. That's why they were signed to an English label. Same with nirvana and hendrix. Both were big in the uk a long time before usa heard of them. The American music scene is far too cringe

[@DonaldGage]

The way each instrument is introduced & finally coming together is ear bliss

[@e30content98]

Insane how hard these two songs slap. So under viewed, so under rated.

[@pauldack5129]

30 plus years later and this sounds like it could've been released yesterday. All time great band.

[@Darrenski]

No they certainly don't sound like this could have been released yesterday. That's like saying these guys are no better than the utter trash that passes for music today. Or do you somehow think we were a bit less music savvy back in the 80s. Trust me, we were well used to music that was infinite levels above Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran or Sam Snith. It's almost an insult to them to say they could stand their ground in today's wonderful music scene. What I will say though is that none of the above mentioned artists (sic) would have made the smallest wave in 1988.

This is a perfect line up for me,,, with an original one and only woman member (Kim).. I really want the way she backed up as second voice of the original vocalist.. Two thumbs up

[@osckarq5211]

[@belenmendez1644]

the best song of pixies

[@ryankeenan3891]

This is so good. So so goooood

[@Darrenski]

What a woman Kim was (is), and what a band - at the peak of their powers, in one of the best-sounding venues there is here in England (the T&C), imo anyway, and so much better sounding, and with bucket loads more atmosphere than all the O2's, or Wembley's or Glastonbury etc. There's just something special about that place. I'm sure a lot of artists must choose it just to record a live album. But what my teenage self would have given for Kim (despite her husband I guess). Between her and Edie Brickell I was one lovesick little puppy alright. What I'd give to be 16/17 again, and to hear them for the first time again.

[@johnbrithahansenrgaard8166]

[@m.hermanni.6891]

Hey Pixies Hey Been trying to meet you Hey Must be a devil between us Or whores in my head Whores at my door Whores in my bed But, hey Where Have you Been if you go I will surely die We're chained "Uh", said the man to the lady "Uh", said the lady to the man she adored And the whores like a choir Go "uh" all night And Mary, ain't you tired of this? "Uh" Is The Sound That the mother makes when the baby breaks We're chained.

Black Francis wrote the song - Kim the lyrics ... funny thing is Francis always seems to premeditatedly play the song ´disrespectfully`, not giving two shits as he plays it ... like he can´t handle others writing songs too, either that or the lyrical content of the song is not much to his liking , lol .

Fact that a video like this gets 100k + views is fuckin absurd

[@LilaBronicki]

and now only 5000 left for 200 000 views. Its not absurd is normal if you see legends and legend moments in early film and videostuff, before they got so famous that tv stations follow them, a video of the really youmg mohammad ali will everytime have a lot of viewers , they give a shit about the quality because what you can see is only in this rar footage. Normal.
