Pixies - Brick is Red

[ilipiwke]

Have they ever played this live?

[MarinatedTenderloins]

my friend has been getting me into the pixies lately... i'm so glad... they are so inspiring.

[shadul]

A song that touch's death as a close friend. Is one of my favorit pixies song's ty for posting this one.

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

the aliens downloaded it too,,,,,......

[andreaneilcmc]

These geezers came like bolt out of the blue to the UK via 4AD label and they were a revelation. The first 2 albums were so innovative they influenced a generation.

[ffejgib]

Fall into the bend of repetion that continually sounds NEAT.

[Haiesjie]

Yep he clearly says 'fish'

[mitchleswaytv]

a fish is fast, and jimmy's CAT

[dansradioshow]

The Pixies could do in less than a minute what most bands can't do in five. Maybe someday my songs will be half as good as theirs.

[mollehhhx]

this song is so amazing it brings tears to my eyes

[y3rb4t3ro]

i can't believe this song is from 1988

[21reasons]

Such a masterpiece!

[IceCreamAllTheTime]

perhaps this album should have more moments like the first half of this song, kind of a jam feel, lead guitar is present, instead of the constant obnoxious vocals.

[nezalrock]

just the corrupt prefer the color of life

[420FABI]

very good!

[ELEPHANTspoon]

yes, bricks are red. i love the titles of their songs coz you can just go around like a total jackass saying all of them like they're talking about yourself.

[tuffleft]

never tired of pulling up, true masterpiece

[johnsaoirse32]

i love bricks

[jambi880]

I'm pretty sure that he says "The pretty colour of ice" not "frayed". I could be wrong, but thats how I always think of it. Great song, thanks for uploading.

[Allacra]

@jambi880 I've always thought it said "the pretty color of ice" also.

[ryandumigan]

Pixies pure class still sounds as good as it did when it came out and i bet it will sound just as good in twenty more years and the first line is "a fish is fast"

[21reasons]

2 minutes and 3 seconds of eternity

[Rafstew]

I wish this song would never end...

[mrjesus6666]

Diamonds are the pretty color of lice

[04jedwards04]

i dont care tht kim deal's about 40 now ild still tap tht

[torpid2]

@04jedwards04 Does ticketzone mean anything to you?

[RubberBiscuit]

@04jedwards04

FASCINATING. Any other women you don't have a snowball's chance in hell of ever having sex with?

[Binochy77]

@RubberBiscuit your grandmas mother.

[AkiZivina344]

@Binochy77 That doesn't make any sense.

[ezyryder11]

@RubberBiscuit I understand that it sucks that women in the music industry are judged for their looks so much. There are probably a lot of women, not as attractive as Kim, who could contribute a lot musically, and that's a loss for listeners and a loss for those women. That makes me upset. Is that what made you upset?

But I don't think it's necessary to rub it in someone's face if they don't have a snowball's chance in hell of having sex with someone they are really attracted to.

[master777999]

@04jedwards04 She's actually 50... lol

[returnofbeaux]

the color of ice. the color of lies.

[velouric]

Felt so quirk, kink, and how you call it, Pixied to the bone, everyone run and get parachutes!

[FishesEyes]

I wish they'd play this live

[tullytaroo]

I think the first line is a fish is fast. Makes more sense with Jimmy's cast. And sounds like fish to me.

[KoolMix32]

I agree, I changed it. All the lyrics on the web say fist, but it sounds like fish to me too, and it does make more sense. Thx for the help!

[sommerwach]

this picture is beautiful. :) and so is the song.

[gibsonsg6987]

one of the greates bands eva!!!!!

[22kurko]

muy bueno. pixies grandes creadores de CANCIONES

[davebenn420]

This song should be used for strip teases

[rkeane2500]

There are two demos of this song with an extra verse - it's the first verse that goes:

Brick is Red and Jimmy's dead

Hang me

The world's not round it's shaped like an egg

Hang Me

No idea why they dropped the first verse though.

[jonathanbennett120]

Probably because that lead guitar line is so brilliant that Steve Albini thought it was a crime to hide it behind a vocal line. I love the off kilter structure of this song as is.

[badboyburton360]

i have learn how to play this song on the guiar and when in the amp full volume playing along to this song is just so much fun :) ........nice vid keep it up

[HeidiHoStenquist]

It is fish is fast; cast is not something broken its having to do with fishing. A good chunk of their songs are fish, water related metaphors. And fish is very clear at anyrate.

[ruin3r]

I love this, wish it was at least 2-3 minutes longer..

[tuiti87]

couldn't we say that about EVERY pixies song?

[trikke71]

noway! that was the Pixies fylosophy when writing song: why make a song of 3 or 4 minutes if you can put all the essential things in 2 minutes...

[gabymortem]

loveitloveittttt

[gabymortem]

this song is da shiT (:

[wouldntyouliketoknow]

I'm almost positive it's "A fish is fast."
