  • Pixie !! BEST ...This sounds boring.....very boring...

  • Ehh well the sandals advert sent me here lmfao

  • what a crappy audio D=

  • I wasn't looking for this song, but not a bad find!

  • Thumbs if sucker punch diddnt send you here..? All in all..beautiful song. <3

  • Thumbs up if clicking links and suggestions because of your good taste in music got you here

  • gotta say this is the best song ever!!!

  • placebo did the best cover to this song but this is good too ;)

  • I don't really get this "X is better than Y" thing. The Pixies made an amazing song (like all of theirs, really!), and Yoav created a brilliant interpretation—putting in a whole different space/mood/context. Which one do I like *better*? Neither! Both pieces equally coexist in my mind (wherever it is!!). Sometimes I'm in the mood for Pixies' original punk/grunge, other times I'm in the mood for Yoav's more atmospheric version. :)

  • @cosmicphoto05 I agree. Even if you compare versions, which I try to avoid if I can, you can compare versions which are alike. Songs from differents musical styles are difficult to compare.

  • Thumbs up if sucker Punch brought you here!!!!

  • Tumbs up, I saw him live in Cape Town, amazing.

  • personally i think that yaov did way better than the pixies <3

  • no mames...ssta d poka ste song grasias broo

  • i'm a big fan of pixies and i have to say that it's impossible to top their version by just playing it as it is. this doesn't really sound like the original, but as a standalone song it's really beautiful. a great interpretation.

  • I first heard this song when Yoav toured with Tori Amos. he put on a great show.

  • The doesn't even sound like the same song. I don't like it.

  • I like this version, but I like Pixies too.

  • I luff this song, could someone tell me wha it's about?

  • @tattativy @tattativy was written ORIGINALLY by the frontman of the Pixies (great band btw) about his experience scuba diving in the Caribbean.

  • @cawcawcawkid oHHHHH '_'. i REALLY LOVE THE SONG.

  • @tattativy seriously check out the og version and the cover by city wolf

  • @cawcawcawkid Okay I'll have to '_'

  • @tattativy the beauty of it is for everyone to find the meaning themselves. technically it has many different meanings. you can figure out the meaning for yourself, or you can just enjoy the song :)

  • @d1sk0v3rYcH4nN3l Thank you '_'

  • FUCK you PatrickChandler this sucks compared to THE PIXIES original

  • THUMBS up if Sucker Punch sent you here.!

  • when i typed in where is my mind, this is the first version. This is a good cover but i mean the original deserves to be the first one.

  • Ehh, not the best cover i heard, but still good

  • pas mal :D

  • awkward 

  • such great songwriting

  • Sucker Punch sent me here! Whooo!

    Awesome movie!

  • As a musician you have to appreciate the flattery of a cover. There is no point in comparing to the original, because this is one persons translation.

  • ^^^^ this is the best version of this song

  • I do like this actually, it's just different. It's as if ISAN played the Pixies.

  • Well played Sucker Punch! Like if it sent you here!

  • @SongDetective I LOVE THIS SONG

  • This song is superior in Sucker Punch!!!!!!!

  • @robiejoe Everything was superior is Sucker Punch! Movie of the Year!!!!

  • heaven forbid opinions

  • No wonder they got this song for Sucker Punch. It's beautiful and dreamy.

  • this is the superior version. sorry hipsters.

  • isit just me or does one of MCR's new song sound abit like this one ?

  • I am a big fan of the pixies... this was awesome it wasn't what the pixies feel was. This was something original and brought a feeling I havent felt. I like it...but not a feeling I cab just get happy and glee full to

  • this is so shitty.

  • i prefer the pixies one

  • I can listen to this over and over. For the original, I really have to be in the mood and I can only listen to it once. Pretty amazing what Yoav can do with an acoustic guitar and a couple pedals.

  • great song. great version.

  • sublime et envoûtant..

  • my anus could produce better symphonies of harmony

  • @georgeftw6 Awesome, and now that we have youtube, we can all see it.

  • this is not good at all

    you give the pixies song a bad name

  • Why must some performers go out of their way to "cover" songs from other bands. Tribute my ass, it ruins the songs.

  • now this version is kind of interesting.. I don't really know how I feel about it though 

  • This is a goddam abomination. Have any of you people that liked this even ever heard of the pixies? I feel personally insulted by this cover. Jesus james blunt did a better cover than this, and I never thought I'd say those words.

  • sucks balls

  • fail remix.....fail remix...FAIL REMIX!

  • thats sooo wrong..

  • thats song its from pixies!!!!!!!!!

  • ok you made this video right? where is that picture from where you could see the big blue under water at 1:25? it would be even better if you told me the location :3

  • very much dislike this cover.... ive seen random youtubers do better covers than this : /

  • this song has no energy at all ... it's musical castration, this song has no balls at all

  • It's ridiculous when people say "there is no good music anymore".

    Its like they expect that something will feed good music straight into their ears.

    You have to look for it.

  • I like his style, he's original. Thumb Up Yoav!

  • you realize that this is a cover right? haha.

  • it's just different from original. So , i like it , nice job

  • wow

  • Both are good. It's a great song, but the covers are amazing too. i like the live cover in Paris by Placebo, but with Francis Black on the stage too, check the video here on YouTube. The Lyrics are just fantastic! :)

  • pixies better...

  • BETTER!? WTF!?

    Pixies own every damn cover version!

  • im afraid this guys's good

  • hate cover artist, not creative

  • Hi PatrickChandler,

    Love this version, thanks for posting. I was wondering where you found the image at 1:25. So beautiful! :)

  • There are moments when a song is covered by sheer genius. This then . . . isn't one of them

  • Comment removed

  • love this song

  • Original one is the best !!!

  • Yoav you're so talented and you have the handsome Israeli looks :)

    Israel + Yoav= Thumbs up!

    I bought your album and I love it! I can't wait to buy your next album!!

  • I love this version better....

  • i like MIA's version a lot better

  • Not great.

    Pixies version is still best.

    Nada Surf's is great.

    Placebo's is good.

    James Blunt's isn't great, but it is interesting to hear his warbly voice do it, as it seems to fit somehow.

    This one ranks below those. It isn't bad, it just isn't the best version I've heard by any stretch.

  • @LethalInterjection Listen to City Wolf's cover

  • @LethalInterjection and the uploader guys u can't rly compare 2 different types of music

    each one gives me an other feeling . i don't know if i made my self clear

  • @ap0st0lak0s I understand what you are saying, but I don't agree. When the version isn't that much of a departure (and I don't believe this one to be leaps and bounds away from the original) comparison is a pretty easy and understandable thing to do. And in my original comment, none of those were significant departures.

    Whereas, with something like Ben Folds' cover of NWA's B***** Ain't S***, or Tori Amos' cover of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit, the comparison can be a bit more difficult.

  • Oh my lord.

    Fantastically dull. Very very average.

    Standard student pseudo-ambient cover version.

    What's the point of this?

  • check out the City wolf cover, I like that the most, just because I don't digg the soft rock, like the pixies, but thats who I first heard it form and loved it.. soo..

  • The only thing I miss is the guitar riff.

  • Wooow, very cool version, i like it a lot

  • the pixies are absolutly my favorites, but this cover song is not bad...

  • This is cool enough.... Placebos version is by far the best!

  • kind of lacks when it doesn't have the classic lead part.

  • I think I like both versions of this song about the same. This one has a melancholy vibe, and the Pixies have a trippy, "what are they talking about?" vibe. They both do different things, and pull it off.

  • I agree, your so right. Both versions are really different, but the pixies win bonus points, because it's theirs.

  • Ahhh, but doesn't Yoav deserve bonus points because he took a song totally out of his genre, and made it his?

  • Hmm. I guess that's true too. LIke, I think the best covers are always those that sound different and unique from the original. So yeah, respect for Yoav too. =]

  • His music is sweet serenity.

  • I seen him play this live last night at the Live Lounge in Ottawa , and it was amazing! I loved the original and this will never compete with it but is very original and in it's own catergory as it's a completely different song. I love the direction that yoav is going and it's amazing to think that all his stuff is done with a loop pedal and a guitar.

  • Personally i would say the original with The Pixies is way better!

  • i think they're different enough to like both equally!

  • ure right!

  • Eres superexistencialista y muy guapo.

  • Gracias. Espero que usted sea un polluelo caliente con los pechos grandes.

  • @PatrickChandler Google translate? Jajajaja

  • @PatrickChandler jajajaja! mejor respuesta, imposible!

    ...y en sí la rola es de los pixies @qvico (gran parte del "existencialismo" reside originalmente en ellos) :P

  • @PatrickChandler jajajaja! mejor respuesta, imposible!

    ...y en sí por una rola no se puede encasillar a un ser humano! pechugona! XD

  • great band

  • dude this doesn't even compare to the original. I think Nada Surf's is probably the best

  • This song is great. :]

  • I personally like Ghoti Hook cover of this song the most. But as far as this goes, I like it. And I can say it because this is other then the lyrics a complete different song.

  • Thanks, I'll have to check that out.

  • wow. this sounds completely different. i wouldn't have thought this was the same...

  • I really think that this Cover is better than the original in many ways. it is amazing how he can do all those sounds only with a guitar!

    excellent!

  • i´m a big pixies fan, and i love this cover! this is the best cover of the song ever! much better than the placebocover!

  • but the original by the pixies is better!

  • try placebos out also

  • the cover of placebo really sucks!

  • lol - matter of opinion, but fair enough

  • you should check out the covers done by house of wires and nada surf.. they are very good too!!

  • yeah. i like the one of nada surf! thank you! much better than the cover of placebo!

  • Lawrence, Kansas in November.

  • AWESOME he was so great at the Tori Amos concert. The whole concert was incredible...

  • Where did you see them?

  • Lawrence, Kansas.... in November. Everyone kept asking what his name was because we didn't hear. Just figured it out and my friends are thrilled to finally know

  • you really think this is better than the pixies?

    this blows

  • Sure if you've been blowing Frank
