I will never understand how he wrote these songs at age 21 and 22. How does he have such depth at that age? He wrote "here comes your man" at 15 years old. It blows my mind.
Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV is a genius...his songs and the way he interprets them are the solid evidence ♪ ♫ ♩ ♬ I've been enjoying his music since I was a teenager and nowadays my little son enjoys it too...
I always crank it when it gets to the "P I X I E S" part..... David's got a killer voice, I love when he does weird stuff like that, like the whistling in Something Against You.
@sannaols5582 LOL, Bowie did a cover of this song, and while Bowie's version is very good, Black Francis of the Pixies (the lead singer and guitarist wrote this song, and the Pixies delivery and version is as cryptic, howling, and as offbeat, as it gets. To me, Cactus, is the Pixies, and Black Francis.
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that i had just something you wore I put it on when i go lonely Will you take off your dress and send it to me? I miss your kissin' and i miss your head And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead Run outside in the desert heat Make your dress all wet and send it to me I miss your soup and i miss your bread And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead So spill your breakfast and drip your wine Just wear that dress when you dine P-I-X-I-E-S Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that i had just something you wore Bloody your hands on a cactus tree Wipe it on your dress and send it to me Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that i had just something you wore
no entiendo que los Pixies tocaran en ese picnic y nunca vinieran a Argentina, Uruguay o más veces a Brasil donde estadios llenos estarían con 20, 30 o 50 mil personas saltando y cantando todas sus canciones del principio al final
no critico a frank black pero te parece olvido cuando joey santiago es latino, frank black creó todo el brillo Pixie en una habitación de Puerto Rico y muchas de sus canciones tienen el español como el otro idioma. No conozco canciones de ningún disco en japonés o alemán y seguramente tocaron alli muchas veces. Estoy seguro que en una ciudad de Bolivia -sin menospreciar- disfrutaban más que esos que viajan en yate y sacan fotos con cámaras de 5000 mil dólares. Amo a los Pixies pero...
@leiposuctie i wouldnt say either of those songs are "sexy".Cactus is about a girl he wants but cant have.As for qotsa"make it wit chu" the title alone pisses me of,does he think hes a gangster rapper or somethin.basically 2 totally differnt bands

every bands best output is up to 27. After that its pretty much times up
People could say the exact same thing about Bob Dylan.
Omg
good drugs
Dave's face and Kim's laugh when he says "P-I-X-I-E-S" ( 1:36 ) is why i love the PIXIES hahaha
dude that has to be the chillest concert ever. Beautiful beach, water, and really really good music. Pixies are awesome
Literally the best song ever
do do dedu do do dedu😎
This is true art. This is my absolute favorite band of all time.
Both the Pixies and Bowie do this song GREAT justice!
as far as I'm concerned, life comes down to this: water, air, and pixies.
love
I always crank it when it gets to the "P I X I E S" part.....
David's got a killer voice, I love when he does weird stuff like that,
like the whistling in Something Against You.
I agree!! What a fan to have! Only thing I regret is only just getting into this band...still, better late than never!!
Great to see that the Pixies still have that raw edge. Fantastic sound on this. Tfp.
Glad Bowie sang CACTUS on John Stewart show, Introduced me to PIXIEs...🤓
CACTUS! I was doing this acoustic back in the 90's
So stoked to see this version!
I want to marry this song !
Class!
god, i love kim's bass. that's just monstrous.
Thanks for posting.
My favorite pixies song.
P...I...X...I...E...S
Mannnn, this song lighten the room, the life, the day... Sexiest rhythm ever
Joey's just like, "Yeah, I'm a badass. Deal with it".
I love this too, awesome!!!
Today, I was outside, peeing on a cactus. Then all of a sudden my dog jumped on my back, knocking me into the cactus.
that was awesome
Brilliant lyrics Frank!
Nothing will ever compare to this.
Here in 2022 still loving this!
buuuuuuu wish someone felt that way about me too :(.Those lyrics are just...beyond words :O
even the fucking quiet version rocks........
david bowie cover is wonderful
uaaaa
great
@bigerch85 nobody said anything about comparing the songs to each other, we're talking about how sexy they are
kim is beyond cool
You are special.
Genial. Buena a nivel de ser interpretada por David Bowie.
You know what, I'm so done with sarcasm. A compliment. Why clutter the world with sarcasm? Hey, I think I'm special too. :)
@sannaols5582 LOL, Bowie did a cover of this song, and while Bowie's version is very good, Black Francis of the Pixies (the lead singer and guitarist wrote this song, and the Pixies delivery and version is as cryptic, howling, and as offbeat, as it gets.

Black Friar (the guy singing) of the Pixies wrote "Cactus".
Black Francis
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
P-A-T-R-K
Man. I just want to sit on warm grass and get a little stoned before the lights go out.
Nobody. Does darker, better than the pixies. Bowie's version is pretty much karaoke. .. and I like karaoke.
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that i had just something you wore
I put it on when i go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?
I miss your kissin' and i miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me
I miss your soup and i miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine
P-I-X-I-E-S
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that i had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that i had just something you wore
`you should check out the swell seasons cover...excellant!
Did they do this? Is this the original? Or did Bowie do the original and this is a cover? I have no idea, it's not that I'm ignorant.
this is the original
aseeek... tarik maaang blek
@7Estrel i only find queen and pink floyd important on that list, and i stil find the pixies more influential than both combined
powerful song, especially played out in the sun heat!
ha.
@leiposuctie how dare you compare QOTSA and the pixies,a different class my friend!!!!
no entiendo que los Pixies tocaran en ese picnic y nunca vinieran a Argentina, Uruguay o más veces a Brasil donde estadios llenos estarían con 20, 30 o 50 mil personas saltando y cantando todas sus canciones del principio al final
Covered by Bowie ...
@lonelygnome1 and cactus
@bluecrow00 i know!!
@sannaols5582 i was trying to use gayier like an expression to say that his version isnt even near to be as good as pixies version.
!
Balls to Monty!
@kellyrosello Cover something PAYING copyrights is NOT stealing. Get your facts!
@carmenismyname
hahaha, the sickest guys don´t have tatoos or caps, they live in the "grown up world" ;)
is this a pixies original or a bowie original?
hamsterinablender -geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, yes the Pixies original, and Bowies' version. I realise I mis-spoke-give it a rest, will ya?
I'm osteosarcoma! I think we'll get along juuuust fine.
@7Estrel Shhh
I feel this exact way about a girl...
@sannaols5582 This is not boring, its perfect... and david made it gayier not sexyier
this reminds me of my baby girl sugar bunny-
@ChuckyTheGoat cement floor

@irshgrl500 EDGY, that's the fucking word!
turduckenband - well then I guess that's what I am for thinking hamsterinablender is a sick nickname.
@leiposuctie i wouldnt say either of those songs are "sexy".Cactus is about a girl he wants but cant have.As for qotsa"make it wit chu" the title alone pisses me of,does he think hes a gangster rapper or somethin.basically 2 totally differnt bands
David Bowie brought me here.
Pixes vs QOTSA no contest. Pixes were are still are leaders not followers
Sorry, Black Francis, NOT BLACK FRIAR-oooopppps
Well, I do like the Pixies' version a lot better! It is so edgy.
Oh dear. Even Bowie would say he brought nothing to the version on Heathen. You are about as wrong as a body can be. ..And I like Bowie.
Every band has those stupid combos on CZcams...But let's leave Pixies raw. We don't need those little logo comments.
Ахуй
Welcome to hell pal.
Normal? You must be American.
in this performance it kinda looked like a "boys club" maybe that is why kim left?
Besides. I think Cactus is the weakest track on Heathen.
