Me at 19: This video looks like fun!
Me at 49: Someone could break a hip doing that!

[jennafreer]

this is a song that could never be played too loudly

[NostraFnDamus]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you: The Coolest Band in the last half a century, dressed in shabby old clothes, running through a quarry like a bunch of absolute dorks, in the closest the early 90s could manage to slow motion. Priceless.

[johndannenbrink]

On stage Pixies are from another planet.

Back on earth, no one picks them in gym class.

[harrisonlaver]

This might sound weird but when I first heard this song, I felt like it was the song I had been looking for my whole life

[AlfonsoXIVDeColchón]

I love how Kim has a smile on her face the entire 23 seconds...

[roydenbellman]

Keep on smiling forever Kim. A lot of reasons this band was so huge to important people/music lovers and Kim was central to that.

[SirCommoner]

this is high art rock. "we will wade in the shine of the ever". what a line, pure poetry

[indigojones]

Freshman year1990 at Tulane University, I reviewed a couple of albums for the WTUL campus radio station newspaper, one of which was this Pixies album. It incluced a song called Alison, which is my name. Despite the name song, I loved this "cassette" . Still do, and Velouria was always a favourite.

[veritas]

This video is basically Kim Deal trying not to die.

[mmv]

Post Punk, noise, low-fi, indie, mínimal, raw, esto es una joya.

[ashleymonday]

From their most underrated album. It's grown to be my favorite over the decades since it came out.

[ricd]

2:57 gotta love joey coming back into frame and absolutely killing that jump

[floatingboy]

Saw them live once again yesterday opening for Pearl Jam in Imola (ITA). I still think Pixies are the greatest band in rock n roll history. They didn’t play velouria but anyway today I’m here again. AGAIN. MERAVIGLIOSI!

[Verse 1]
Hold my head
We'll trampoline
Finally through the roof
On to somewhere near
And far in time
Velouria
Her covering
Traveling career
She can really move
Oh velveteen!

[Chorus][x2]
My Velouria, my Velouria
Even I'll adore you
My Velouria

[Verse 2]
Say to me
Where have you been
Finally through the roof
And how does lemur skin
Reflect the sea?

[Bridge]
We will wade in the shine of the ever
We will wade in the shine of the ever
We will wade in the tides of the summer
Every summer
Every summer
Every
My Velouria
My Velouria


[Verse 3]
Forever green
I know she's here
In California
I can see the tears
Of shastasheen

[Chorus][x5]
My Velouria, my Velouria
Even I'll adore you
My Velouria

[suprafrase]

I'm nearly 40 years old and I just heard this song for the 1st time today. Pixies were a band that escaped my notice. Hearing this today on the radio I couldn't help but notice elements of the guitars that reminded me of In Bloom by Nirvana. Reading all these comments from you guys makes the connection. Kurt Cobain was a Pixies fan and the inspiration he drew from listening to their music is clear to hear. I need to download myself some more Pixies music.

[SwitcherooU]

Love the backup vocals. They really bring the song to life.

[bucksdiaryfan]

I hope in my lifetime I can create anything as influential and great as this sensational piece of music

[miriamsoler]

Hold my head, we'll trampoline
Finally through the roof onto somewhere near and far in time
Velouria, her covering, traveling career
She can really move, oh, Velveteen

My Velouria, my Velouria
Even I'll adore you, my Velouria
Even I'll adore you, my Velouria

Say to me, where have you been?
Finally through the roof
And how does lemur skin reflect the sea?

We will wade in the shine of the ever
We will wade in the shine of the ever
We will wade in the tides of the summer, every summer
Every my Velouria, my Velouria

Forevergreen, I know she's here in California
I can see the tears of Shastasheen

My Velouria, my Velouria
Even I'll adore you, my Velouria
Even I'll adore you, my Velouria

Play it x2 speed, a cool surf-rockabilly-punk groove (and still a slow motion clip)
