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.
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.
@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 :)
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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! :)
@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.
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..
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.
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. =]
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.
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.
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

Not 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.
