  • YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!

  • 41 dislikes wtf....whats their not to like

  • every time i hear this song it rips me im well into my music...dance ,hose, tech,trance,all music...this could be the track that gets to me the most...got to be the best song in the world...perfect....

  • I hate all you pretentious so and so's out there who are hating on this artist. I love the pixies and this song is a great tribute and a very original version. Its beautiful. I dont understans why people are finding it so difficult to admit it. Both versions are brilliant end of.

  • I took 15 minutes trying to find this song after hearing it on the Thomson holiday advert. :'-)

  • Frank Black is a legend!!!!

  • i often ask!

  • Such a beautiful version. Thank you Thompson for bringing me here!

  • @chocmerle It's a beautiful version because the original song is beautiful, You have been seduced by an advert and a female singer. The song is no different. The performer is. This performer will be forgotten in a few weeks but the Pixies and their music is still alive and kicking some 15 to 20 years after it was written. Epic win to the Pixies. When are Lard going to be in vogue?

  • she's very talented and so beautiful..

  • She seems like one of those crazy artsy girls that'll sleep with you if you tell her you like her "art." Sorry but she put way too much thought into this song with the strings and shit. Pixies was way better, and they tried half as hard. Geeze back in the day songs were bred in a shitty basement that smelled of sewage and beer, now everyone is an artist shittt.

  • Love this. Great to have running in the background!

  • Thumbs down If you just like listening to good music.

  • @andypmz07 this is the 3rd version of this song I like, theres another version which was in the film Sucker punch, has a bit of a darker edge to it, but it's still pretty good.

  • Thumbs up if your just a Pixies fan...

  • Thumbs up if Mr Porter brought you here

  • 很喜欢这个版本

  • how to rape the pixies tutorial is what i clicked on, and is what i got

  • @JonUkutube Matter of opinion.

  • @DaKurlzz08 for sure

  • Not as good as the pixies but when i heard this cover from the advert it was quality, nice different take on the song.

  • finally found ther version ive been looking for.

  • She looks like Katy Melua.

  • This song was not supposed to be depressing. What is up with adverts getting someone to cover really good 80s alt rock songs with a moody piano and over-emotional woman? They done it with the Smiths, now the Pixies.

  • @Funeralapolis This song song wasnt written for the advert, it was USED in the advert. whats wrong with changing a song from the original to sound diffrent-if people dont reinvent old songs, songs are forgotten as old songs sound out of date now. ellie goulding did it with elton john's "your song" and look how many people know that song now? it is how music evolves...

  • @Funeralapolis Surely this is the point of covers though. If you're just going to straight up copy the original it's nothing more than karaoke. At least changing it to, as you say sound depressing or moody, shows a little bit of creativity. It's what differentiates the X-Factor participants from the artists, I think.

  • leave the pixies alone you nut

  • Soft gentle, well beautiful voice but then you look at the expressions on her face and she looks as if shes doing screamo, ahaha aw.

  • such a great peaceful song :)

  • Love this<3 original was great, but this gives me goosebumps.

  • Jade Williams is gorgeous and great song :)

  • Watch Trampled by Turtles version...awesome! :-)

  • this tune is deep check out the hiphop version , youtube kc where is my mind, completley diferent outlook on life real hiphop , more of a science of life , look out for kc with this track manny thanks

  • For me highlights some of the subtle song structure of the original. Like them both; they're different.

  • pixies is much better

  • Watched the Thomson holiday advert last night and just couldn't figure out where i'de heard this song before. Next morning i wake up and i'm whistling 'Where Is My Mind' for no reason, then it clicked, brilliant cover.

  • brilliant cover of a Pixies track, prefer the original but i have much love for this version :)

  • Amazing and precious voice! must work on pronunciation, but's only a detail. congratulations!

  • i think the string and piano with her voice sounds incredible, great cover of a great pixies song! 

  • Comment removed

  • better than the original, congratulations

  • Uploader, please make this viewable on mobile. Thanks:)

  • Really great cover. I kind of prefer it to the Pixies because I can write to it.

  • what i meant below, why isn't it on canadian itunes???

  • i hate it when the top comment is never about the video!

    ....

    why isn't this on itunes?! i love this song :)

  • beautiful to listen to , always makes me sad though.... and makes me want to play the piano ..

    

  • Every now and then I find a magical song, fantastic.

  • gorgeous <3 

  • This is the cover I was always waiting for of this song, don't get me wrong I think the pixies are a great band just I've always felt this song would be beautiful when done with more...grace? She really does the song justice, beautiful

  • My goodness, your voice is as pretty as your face!!! Can I write for you?? :)

  • The second i saw the thomas holiday advert I went onto my computer and tryed to find this song, 4 days later and i've finally found it. Love this song, her voice is amazing and the way she says coy coy is so awesome:'D

  • 10,000 other covers exactly like this. Boring.

  • @stucool17 And none performed by you. *WINNING*

  • @stucool17 very pretty song .. a tad boring , but still lovely to listen to

  • I am here cause' of Ocelote playlist :D 

  • this cover is ASS!!!!!!

  • Your not very good, are you.

  • @MrsBucket1234 YOU'RE not very good at English, are you?

  • @psymson you dont work for anything. Any way im done with you

  • @Dedamn666 the pixies would still get fame for Sunday Girl's song, which would, in return attract more buyers to the original. therefore, they will still profit. also, "hasome" clearly means handsome. only an idiot wouldn't be able to understand this small typo. might i also add that you are the one who sounds like a child, using the term "rape" as a teenager would.

  • @ShadyFarrell7 I am a total idiot, but i am able to understand a teenager is a different age bracket to a child. Hasome could mean handsome but with your logic here makes little to no sense. Whats the point of having the English language for people to spell things incorrectly make a mistake and attempt to make someone who can actually spell look even more idiotic than his is. No doubt your come back to this will be something mature like " i don't need to make you look stupid, you do it yourself"

  • @Dedamn666 I did mean handsome and this makes perfect sense. Might I suggest that you utilise your "oh so perfect" grasp of the English language posting constructive comments on a video you actually enjoy, instead of provoking arguments with people who simply visit this video because they enjoy this version of the song. Anyway, I'm done now. :-D

  • What a bland boring version of a classic song.

  • @EvilGeorge2 ashamed to have the same name as you, this is clearly a fantastic cover

  • Comment removed

  • like if you brought here by the thomson holiday advert

  • @ashtonsaidhi lol yip a did a said to my dad i loved this song i had to look for it

  • Placebo's cover is good, Thepetebox's cover is awesome, Nada Surf's cover is good, but I don't find this one good whatsoever... starting how she pronounces some words (silly, I know, but kinda annoys me). I know it's a cover, means she can do whatever she want, but this ain't good in my opinion... :)

  • This is amazing! Your voice is so beautiful!!!

  • i love this version ♥ :D

  • who sang the original version of this song,absolutely amazing song,takes me back to when the world wasn't in such a rush,we all need to appreciate our short lives more,dont chase the money game,spend time with the people who make you smile,laugh,cry,memories cant be bought

  • thomson advert :')

  • Where is my mind?

  • @jacobisalreadytaken

    Your mind is where you think it wants to be ..........

    I see a reflection in the water,

    I see a rainbow in the sky,

    A ray of brightness,

    Never ask yourself why..........

  • Such a beautiful voice! x

  • Thumbs up if you found this through tv ads

  • i really like this

  • I hate this trend of lazy singers. Learn to enunciate.

  • @DitchPup hater

  • @rath85 Hate is too stong of a weird, sweetie. I'm not a 14 year old that uses that kind of terminology.

  • @DitchPup my apologies .i think you may have spelt your seventh word incorrect and your fourth,bet you feel a little silly now getting corrected by a 14 year old,peace n love my fellow human

  • Comment removed

  • What a terrible version of this song. I liked the Pixies and Placebo - but this is absolutely horrible, makes me want to mute the television everytime the dumb ad is on.

  • i hate it when the "top rated" comment is a reply, i always have to go back and find the comment that warranted a response!

  • My mind is on her. Stunning!

  • I love this song, and many of the covers to this song. It is now the fifth version of the song I enjoy. It amazes me how one song can be done so many times, yet so differently each time.

  • yet another cover singer. give me something fresh

  • Simply amazing...

  • Thomson Holidays advert brought me here - really beautiful piano riff on this one....

  • As I look into the sky,

    I wonder what to do ,

    As look at the people strolling by,

    I wonder with you ,

    Feel the emotion,

    Feel the awe,

    Feel the light surrounding us,

    Its what we live for ........... 

  • coldplay.

  • @MrAidenthegreat this is what they got "fix you" from i think....damn coldplay

  • Nowt wrong with this lovely piece of music,

  • This song is Jack's medication. <3

  • I love this song. The advert for Thompson's just say time on holiday to me. Can't wait till my trip away

  • I heard this on the thomson advert, and just thought it was incredible, but it never occured to me it was a cover of the fight club sound track, Whole new song, just as good :)

  • His name is Robert Paulson

  • i am jacks mind, without me, jack is fucked

  • why do i get the sudden urge i want to go on holiday?

  • I absolutely love the Pixies original, and I wasn't keen on this cover at first. But I have given it some consideration and decided that it isn't bad. It doesn't have the impact that the original has on me, but it has a nice sound and is a different emotional take on the lyrics.

  • I laugh at people who take time out of their day to argue on a youtube video. You came to enjoy the song, not waste your time on pointless drama.

  • All I know is that I am fixated by this song and the video, Sunday Girl's voice is amazing and makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. She is beautiful too.

  • Beautiful! x

  • Beautiful, but the video producers have made this girl look much older than her 23 years

  • Always though the original was shite. This is great though

  • I remember this song; I saw them play the damn thing live.

    Great tune + great lyrics = longetivity.

    I love this.

  • "Sunday Girl" is not raping the Pixies. I'm sure that Frank Black happily whored the song out. What it does, and what angers people so much, is that it takes something special to people (Pixies Fans) and debases it. Ironic really as Debaser is my Favorite Pixies Tune . "Sunday Girl" is not a rapist, though she does habitually screw songs indiscriminately. If you want to see someone make love to a song I would recommend Katie O's cover of Worried Shoes (a guilty pleasure)

  • @Dedamn666 but I do find it depressing that someone who does something quite beautiful like this and is inspired by bands like the pixies make music as shit as she does, which is obviously just made to sell records with no real passion, but I can't deny that this cover is pretty moving.

  • @LukeGriffths121 I personally do not think it does the original song justice. The original has a melancholy about it. The original is a beautiful song but has a depressing feel of total emptiness. The original seems to me like its about a bad experience on drugs. The pixies version does what its supposed to . This mind is in my opinion is one of the things thats wrong with the music industry. They take a classic, change guitars etc to some piano string arrangement and have a girl whailing.

  • @Dedamn666 Instant sales, cheap pops

  • @Dedamn666 fair enough if that's how you feel. I think the original is probably one of the best songs ever written, I just think this cover is pretty beautiful but I agree that this artist is instant sales and cheap pops which I think is disgusting but I do like this cover.

  • Η κοπελα μου!!!(θα θελα).....

    

  • I love the pixies for making the original but I just can't mentally comprehend (and cue the typical youtube comeback) how anyone can call this bad or even monstrous - infact I prefer this to the original (blaphstemous! I know dear its called an opinion) her vocals are chilling and really bring out the lyrics. So keep at it Sunday Girl !

  • Not a bad version though I prefer the pure piano and orchestral arrangement without her voice. The Pixies original is a beautiful song, Jame Blunts cover is mundane, Placebo's version is excellent, I love Brian Molo's trademark whine putting the accentuation on 'Caribbean', She hasn't got a bad voice, it just doesn't make the version stand out as much as the accompaniment does.

  • @Dedamn666 I think somebody needs to get off their high horse. You're not the authority on music. Don't try and condescend other people because it doesn't make you look wise or intelligent or whatever you're going for here.

  • @roryshan1 I fact Ive achieved everything I wanted to here. Voiced my opinions on the subject matter and made a bunch of people look like pricks as well as my self. I do find it funny that people get mad about someone voicing their opinions on something, when in turn their argument is basically you have to like this because i do. Otherwise your a condescending prick.

  • I love The Pixies and think this cover's really good. Just pointing this out so people realise not all Pixies fans are elitist pricks.

  • Well at least it's not as bad as the James Blunt cover, now that was awful!!

  • SUCKER PUNCH 

  • i like the way she sings coy koy

  • This makes me want to go on holiday :-)

  • @MsTheresaGreen Oh so you can do better? You can wow an audience as a support band? People like you are the sad ones that sit at home and have nothing better in their life to do then talk shit about others. Try going outside, getting away from your computer/laptop and doing something productive?

  • @laurenhardman This isn't actually a question of whether I could do better or not, is it Lauz? I'm not the one whining it up on Thomson adverts. Or here, for that matter. If I were, I'd fully expect to be shredded....that's because I KNOW I couldn't do this song justice. If only SundayGirl had the same self-awareness, we could have all been spared this musical monstrosity.

    And I resent the implication that I'm not productive! I produced a rather telling rant from your good self. Go me :-))

  • Trolls!? Do you understand art? It means taking something and making it your own and expressing whatever you want to. We're not all geniuses like the Pixies. If she can make some money doing this then great. Good for her. And so will the Pixies. Why do you care anwyay? Hasn't damaged the original song in any way. It's still awesome. And this version, while not giving me the same emotion at all, does make me think of a beautiful relaxing holiday, just like Thomson want it to. Big deal!

  • she should try to open her mouth when she sings, maybe, just maybe, the song will sound a little better

    

  • Wanted to listen. Couldn't, I'm on mobile. Guess I'll never know.

  • @tdeburca lucky you

  • @Dedamn666 yeah shut up, coming from you? could you do a better cover? no. if you dont like the cover, dont bloody listen and comment on it.

  • @LukeyFarmer Yes i reckon i could do a better cover and it wouldnt go on any Thomson adverts

  • @Dedamn666 "Perhaps when you are older you will appreciate this is pointless pap". Jesus, could you be any more consescending?? This song has been covered by many bands/singers and if only one person enjoys it, it cannot be pointless, that is the beauty of music / art. Also you say this is "raping the pixies", please bare in mind that the Pixies would have given permission for this and will also be receiving a hasome royalty i wouldn't doubt, so who's "raping" who here.

  • isn't this this the chorus for professor green's song - spinning out

  • Comment removed

  • im a big pixies fan, but this is great. Fuck all you haters and wankers that are stuck in one dimension. This is an absolutely beautiful cover of a beautiful song! this song was always beautiful and its nice to hear another take on it. Love you Sunday Girl!

  • I like it but the hipster in me tells me to hate it!

  • I understand ms green perfectly!

  • Just no,

  • I LOVE it when people direct comments at me, yet do not allow me to respond. Typical. LOL

    So, to all the self-righteous arseholes out there, who think it's cool to come on here and bleat about other people having negative opinions...well, just switch your pc's off and go hug an elderly neighbour or something. Ta muchly :-)

  • I whole heartedly agree with ms green!

  • I whole heartedly agree with ms green!

  • I love the Pixies, probably my fave band, doesn't mean I cannot love this version of a great song, I love the more orchestral feel. Please people, stop trying to think you are something special by saying its wrong to listen to a cover. The band you love and claim to be defending gave their consent to the cover and obviously like it themselves, if they didn't they would have not condone it and you would not have a choice of which version to listen to, so lighten up already!

  • @bedheadx Orchestral? Quite. She is souless, this cover is pointless and she should never have had the audacity to attempt in in the first place. She CLEARLY doesn't realise her limits.

    I have no problems with covers IF they bring something new and original into the mix.

    Also, do The Pixies own the rights to this song, or are you just presuming that they do? I mean, they prob couldn't care either way, but I doubt if they'd find this version even remotely justifiable.

  • @MsTheresaGreen I think you get too uptight over things that are not really important. You are obviously right in your own mind based on your own preferences and so am I with mine, which begs the question, why do you hang out on comment boards of songs you dislike, I am here because I like it, what's your reason?

  • @bedheadx Because I was so disgusted & outraged when I heard it, I felt the urge to come on here and vent a little. Happy?

    Once again, I don't really care what you think (Hmm no-one seems to be getting this), and tbh the fact that you think this version is worthwhile means that not only don't I care whether you agree with me or not, but I'd also not care if your ears were chopped off in a freak accident; and let's be honest here, it wouldn't really impact on your musical preferences at all LOL

  • @MsTheresaGreen You seem to be angry about something. I cannot believe it is this song, what are your issues? why do you have problems with my ears staying affixed to my head? can i maybe suggest that you find a song you like and hang out there? it would make for not so much of a waste of your time, you might even find yourself understood

  • @bedheadx Of course you can suggest it, I can't stop you from suggesting anything...but I can ask you to drop the pop psych ('cos it's frankly, tedious lol)

    Yes, I do have an issue with your ears: there are earless people out there, ones with taste and a less patronising attitude, who'd benefit from a perfectly healthly, albeit sadly misused pair of ears. Donating them to the needy is the RIGHT thing to do, obviously. If you don't, you are a selfish prick and you deserve nothing but contempt.

  • I want to go on holiday now =]

  • This is pretty shite, if you ask me. I don't mind covers, but the trend towards songs with one whiny bint plus piano, it just totally boils my pish. There is NOTHING new or inventive about this AT ALL.

  • Black Francis brought me here.

  • Pixies - where is my mind

  • Love this what more can i say : )

  • @adamasdiamandis Feel free to say that you have taste whatsoever, and that you're likely to die alone. Admitting this is the first step toward recovery. Cheers, dolllllll :-))

  • @MsTheresaGreen what???

  • @adamasdiamandis What? Really...don't you understand what I just said? LOL Get back to listening to shite like Adele, and you know...that Smiths' cover from the John Lewis ad. bet you LOVED that too eh? Spew. Lol

  • @MsTheresaGreen mate. i agree with yo9u that this isnt anywhere near as good as the original but you are being a complete twat.

  • @charlie61087 Thanks, Charlie, you complete fuck :-)

    I care even less about your opinions than I do about Tara's. It's actually a great attitude to have...more people should adopt it. Lol

  • @MsTheresaGreen oh sorry thought u might be a slightly reasonable person who understands when theyve gone too far. bet u get a lot of friends with an attitude like that.

  • @charlie61087 Hahahahaha right, come on...are you being sarcastic?? You are, right? LOL Saying that, you prob aren't, as you don't strike me as the type of person who'd understand irony. You are obviously far too clever for me, and I'm extremely hurt by your comments about my lack of friends :-(((

    Ps. LOL

  • @MsTheresaGreen ohhhh my god, okay i was on your side but thought u should tone it down a little with the hate mail. now your like arguing with me or something, not sure what your problem is but from what i get from your defensive comments your a bit of a loser. say what you like about having friends i dont believe you.
