For an extraordinary treat, look on YT for FB’s newer solo versions of IBT. He’s got a handful from the last seven or so years , from radio spots, interviews, and a FABULOUS visit he did at the Portland , Oregon Children’s Hospital . Enjoy !!
I come back to this a couple times a year just to see how I feel about this song. It still gives me goosebumps. It’s a perfect song. It’s probably my favorite song. So beautiful.
I am not sure I understand the physics, but this song continues to grow on me every time I watch this. After what has to be hundreds of views, every time is magical. His skill is nearly divinity.
Glad to discover this version tonight so many years later! Very good accompaniment from M. Tepper. I sometimes love Frank's solo songs more than his Pixies stuff, like this tune (although I only get about 20% of what he means). It is precious to me.
Frank Black's music is the most under appreciated music of the late 20th century. Every song he sings touches you somewhere. Some sad, some funny, some beautiful, and all are a step above the stuff his peers made. Frank Black shows me what music should be!
The same thing happens to me each time I listen to him. He is a mesmorizing songwriter. My life has been much richer after I discovered his music. First with the Pixies, but even more so I think with his later work.
from his time in the pixies till now it has all be great,i have grown up listening to frank black.now in my mid thirties i find it just as good as it's ever been ,just progressed in a new direction,lyric wise and sound wise
get teenager of the year. it's just frank black, no catholics yet. it ROCKS! although very different than pixies. and once you listen to that one, then just get all of 'em. frank black, frank black and the catholics, black francis, all of it. he's the man!
Prolific songwriter and a rare talent. I have followed him from his time with The Pixies through to the present and everything he produces is quality. Keep on doing it Frank.
(chorus) I ran so fast • into the north no snow on me • and so he said thenceforth, I let snow fall • on frozen yesterday I burn today • I burn today and if my head • is hanging down I feel her arms • and her legs are all around and we make love • beside the waterway
she said have fun • its time has come hold my heart strings • and have yourself a strum no, nevermore • this song will we play I burn today eh • I burn today and as I drank • in old Paris she lay her cards • just to see what she would see down by the water you'll find your happy days
His Pixies stuff is magic. Kim Deal is the REAL DEAL as well. But there is something different about his later solo work. Its intimate. Its thoughtful as compared to challenging. He brings the solo and personal to his self titular (ha!) work. And I appreciate it.
It's almost a metamorphosis. The Catholics and especially his solo stuff is a completely different animal. Coastline is one of my favorites and as far musically from No. 13 Baby, another of my all-time favorites, as you could get.
every time my past catches up with me in some financial, or payback kind of way this song rings so true ........ however the positive effect is when will I start learning form my mistakes...
I knew a girl • with sad blue eyes put out the feast • I lost my psychic prize I did forget • what the tarot maid did say I burn today • I burn today our house was filled • with many birds she said to me I can understand their words the land will shake, so run away I burn today • I burn today yesterday I will burn • for the times I did not learn
To Charles K. Thompson III To me your in the same class as The Wipers, The Gun Club, Graham Parker and all the other top musicians. Give me a call when your in Amsterdam Again, Frank. I liked what you did at Herman Brood's funeral. Just leave a message at 'The Dutch Perspective'. And I'll contact you. Roland
you can try using a shareware app like audio hijack. this tune sounds better than the record because tepper's vibe is present - a phenomenal singer/songwriter in his own right.

Frank Black has got to be one of the most underrated music Gods ever. In Pixies we trust.
hes still not the Pixies madman we all love , but what a talent...WOW
DUDE... that is Jeff Moris Tepper playing with him! do you know who that is????
@@PatrickCSheehy I don't...
@Chas No Would? Was?! Were???11
@@FaxanaduJohn he was in Capt. Beefheart's band. he is amazing
This song has a mystical quality to it. You don’t need to even understand the lyrics to feel it. Good poetry just transports you to a new world

Yes! Do you like the new Pixies songs?
The same thing happens to me each time I listen to him. He is a mesmorizing songwriter. My life has been much richer after I discovered his music. First with the Pixies, but even more so I think with his later work.
His solo work is the best. Better than early AND late Pixies. Incredible stuff.

One of my favourite albums of all time ... flat out amazing.

I love Frank Black.
His album Show Me Your Tears is unbelievable.

A masterpiece from a genius.
Black Francis and Moris Tepper sound amazing. I'm always impressed with him (and of course The Pixies) when he/they are live...
nothing else to say but, just another product from a genius.
"Hold my heart strings and have yourself a strum". Man it's so beautiful !
this is the one i was looking for ! go frank and whoever the support is :)
Frank black is the man! I listen to his "cult of ray" cd over and over again! It speaks to my heart man!
How much can I say ....
Frank Black...
Is a Prophet......
as well ...luckily....for us ..a guitar..virtuoso..
Much love..to you ..FB..BF,,CT
When Tepper realizes at 0:53 how far down from Franks soul this song comes and goes all-in.
Prolific songwriter and a rare talent. I have followed him from his time with The Pixies through to the present and everything he produces is quality. Keep on doing it Frank.
Americas greatest song writer
I’m responding 9 years late, but I think you meant to say: ‘The World’s’
great song frank!
(chorus)
behold the rose • of Jericho
how many lives • I really do not know
though with the rain • I know it will return
today I burn • today I burn
Frank ....
I LOVE YOU MAN....
(chorus)
I ran so fast • into the north
no snow on me • and so he said thenceforth,
I let snow fall • on frozen yesterday
I burn today • I burn today
and if my head • is hanging down
I feel her arms • and her legs are all around
and we make love • beside the waterway
I am in tears over here.
that was amazing
she said have fun • its time has come
hold my heart strings • and have yourself a strum
no, nevermore • this song will we play
I burn today eh • I burn today
and as I drank • in old Paris
she lay her cards • just to see what she would see
down by the water you'll find your happy days
I must have listened to it that many times too.... Amazing!
his voice is amazing
@madeofcarbon Moris Tepper. It's in the title. Phenomenal version
Beauty personified. I tip my hat.
yes today I will burn
for the times I did not learn
amazing.

The Pixies and Frank Black...man this shit still puts chills up my spine.
I knew a girl • with sad blue eyes
put out the feast • I lost my psychic prize
I did forget • what the tarot maid did say
I burn today • I burn today
our house was filled • with many birds
she said to me I can understand their words
the land will shake, so run away
I burn today • I burn today
yesterday I will burn • for the times
I did not learn
It's like hes singing about my entire love life! I always knew Frank was Big Brother!

Former Pixies frontman with one time Magic Band guitarist . . the mind boggles ;)
5-stars!
I love the pixies and have heard very little of frank black and the catholics. This video makes me want to change that.
As of tonight 9 people are completely lost. 511 understand true genius when it arrives.

I burn today.....
Black Francis gets it.
yes it is.
and if the grounds not cold
everything is gonna burn
we'll all take turns

Hey Moris!
oh donkeywent i almost agree completley. Except for the part where you wrote 'nearly',
hell yeah, awesome song. But I think the one from Christmass compilation is better
That bear standing!
Honeycomb is a great album. There are quite a few really good songs on it.
another one called youtube to mp3 converter... sweet tune btw!
go frank.
the chorus is so semed like good bye lorraine but both are beautiful
You made another comment. Can I spot it? It's very obvious, it's the one that's posted 2 minutes after the previous one.
yeah eh apart from the fact that rollins arent actually anywhere in this video ?
!!!!!!!!
Can't have followed him that closely, It's "Pixies" there's no "The"
Get a good audio recorder program and record "What you hear".
No, not another comment.. Another typo. Especially for your pleasure.
BEEFHEART!
Fatty Black is still god. Blenderate is close though!!!
@coochflaps gg allin is a dude
not the sound
rollins is hardly a musician
