Pixies "Havalina"

[chuckschilling]

I can't think of any Pixies songs I enjoy more than this one.

[RieseMeyers]

If you guys like this song, you should check out the They Might Be Giants cover!

[AbsoluteNugget]

@RieseMeyers I am so happy to see this comment.

[printxu]

@RieseMeyers genial!!

[bamboostalker]

@BlackSabbathory No way! It's a great name!

[controlFunctionmedia]

Had this song for ages. Had to fave it on YT, it's just so beautiful.

[abby3496]

Oh man I love Pandora so much for helping me find more songs by Pixies :3

[advogpaty]

When I listen to this song I feel like everything's gonna be fine. :)

[Paperboii87]

@advogpaty damn this brings me back to my last yr of college ,, carefree dayz and a random ex who left this cd in my car........

[splinter360]

Pixies arnt that far of the Beatles. Infarct you could say their on par.

[asinzuar]

@splinter360 I agree.

[p0litepunk]

@splinter360 i agree, just pixies weren't as gimmicky as the beatles were (bowl hair, suits, etc) i think to me that somehow makes them more believable and likable

[splinter360]

@p0litepunk Hah. True but you have to remember, in those days in wasn't gimmicky it was originality.

[MrBarrioloco]

this band is good for the soul :)

[redvelvet500]

Death to the Pixies.

[harshroger]

i know my soul would find its way to heaven somehow..

[blu3violet]

perfect surfing beach relax song.

I love the pixies! :)

[Mike1967b]

@RecalcitrantMule13: No, the pigs are javelina. And they really are not pigs. I agree with the rest of your description. They are sometimes mean, and they don't like people when they have young with them.

[vangoid]

I just keep hitting replay... <3.... I love the Pixies

[MRecceNtrICK]

pixies lalalaloveyou

[MegaCrasher3000]

This song is Beautiful, blissful, shimmering pop euphoria, the musical equivalent of a dreamy, sun-drenched afternoon.

[playaeyez17]

So beautifull.. I'm a normal straight guy and this just floods tears in my dam heart!. True classic "Artists" albums and music. How I miss It.

[Islandlnthesun]

cant help but think of being in sedona when i hear this song

[spiffykimbean]

Sometimes you hear a song that's so beautiful that you can't help but get just a little misty-eyed, even if it's only for a moment.

sigh. Every time I hear this song, it still manages to bring tears to my eyes. Perfection.

[mmmhmm9975]

probably one of the most gorgeous songs ever! i can listen to it all day.

[America2470]

LA!!!! LOOOVVVEEEE!!

[mr4fingers]

I love this song like it was my child.

[JasonSmash187]

@mr4fingers : D

[doubleder]

That long extended "Havaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiina­" vocal by Kim in this song is some of the best singing she did in this band. I saw Pixies on their "reunion" tour in 2004 and I still found her sexy as f@#%!!! Even though she appeared nervous at times...very sweet.

[lemonkooler]

This album was very much a part of my life in the 90's and also one of those special albums where every song is great. Thank you for posting :)

[Tadlette]

Havalinas aren't pigs :P just check wiki or A&M Kingsville's website (their mascot is the Javalina)

[dewbear65]

Yes, they play it live. When I saw this tour in SF in like '91, they played it. Such a gorgeous song regardless of subject matter -- as Kim shouted out when they started playing it that night, "THIS IS A SONG ABOUT A PIG!"

[moquit0]

[culwin]

I just learned what a havalina is just now

[righteousrat]

@culwin What is it?

[culwin]

@righteousrat A boar

[simonlusco]

This is phenomenal. Bossanova is the under rated album. It is GREAT! This band were the best of all time. When he starts singing 'Walking in the breeze...' that is just to die for. Thanks Frank!

[gorehoptv]

do they ever play this live

[decadentfudgesauce]

I was backpacking w/ a friend on Apache rez land near Goldwater bombing range. Sun had just set, we were cooking hot dogs on his camp stove, it was very dark.  Suddenly heard hooves all around and lots of grunting. Stupidly, I imitated the sounds. Then they got much louder and closer. We both stood up and backs to the stove began shouting at the darkness. Something was 3 feet from me but i couldn't see it. They finally left. In the morning i saw a single havelina track on the hard ground.

[GutterDoll138]

@decadentfudgesauce Nice story :)

[GutterDoll138]

I Love this song! <3

[astroboirap]

so beautiful <3

[fromthenorthwest]

playing this song while watching a youtube slideshow of claudette colbert pictures is awesome

[basozaki123]

great song, but i prefer dig for fire

[TheCIARANMURPHY]

saved up my school dinner money to buy this on casette back when it came out. Was the best song on the album. Went to the bossa nova belfast gig too, absolutely class.

[dylandecrayk]

im not sure if he's referring to the javelina pigs that live in that area of arizona or not? just something to think about..

[bellydweller]

theres a reference in the song to sedona arizona. I camped there once. A hobo i met told me that the javelina are the only thing to be feared at night since they movw in packs, are not afraid of humans and have been known to sack camps at night. In tucson the desert had eyes at night. So I always think of my time in the senora desert when i hear this song

[dylandecrayk]

yeah me too. i've been to sedona a few times. it's my favorite place in the world. i will always go back there.

[cottoncactus]

myspace bought imeem so i can never listen to this album all the way because im too lazy to find/buy it

i probably should do that.

[charlesalber]

I can sit back and relax to this song all day.

Just close my eyes and stress fades away into peaceful bliss.

[ManfredMitchum]

Beautiful.

[DrownPumpkin]

[wwgt]

[dylandecrayk]
