This song is freaking brilliant. The melody, the lyrics feel like something out of a cousy Autumn rainy day, spent under the bed covers with ones lover - quite the best thing you can have. Pixies forever.
This is amazing that this late in the game they are actually making incredible pop music. Paz joining saved this band from falling apart and instead is giving them a second life! This is fantastic! Pixies forever!
I saw them in Detroit about 3 weeks ago. This song was probably the highlight of the evening. I enjoyed their new stuff far more than their classics that night (however, The Sad Punk and Motorway to Roswell melted me). It was a big realization for me. One that a lot of these intolerant fans have not yet come to. It's so important that they continue and move on. They can not keep touring Doolitle in 2014. Black Francis is one of the most important song writers of our time. It'd be a shame if he was stuck with a routine. This is quality music that we should be rejoicing over instead of remaining stubbornly unimpressed.
I agree totally with what you said. And they have such an ability to perform live that they make any songs sound great. For example a song from Neil Young and one from Leonard Cohen. So they definitely should come up with more material and play it live. People say that some new songs aren't that good like Ring the Bells, but l bet it would be such a blast to hear it live that soon it would become a Pixies' anthem.
Amen! Completely agree with your comment on Francis being one of the most important songwriters of our generation...you can only play the classics so long, let the man do what he does. This song is a modern Pixies classic, it has all the beauty of the golden age stuff but with a refined energy that comes with the years of experience...the hook is almost a jab to all the fake fans who are quick to shit on anything not Doolittle..."I'm wasting your time, just talking to you, may be best you go on home"... please do and let the real fans rejoice in the new stuff!!
In humble opinion Pixies is the greatest rock band ever on earth! The range,the creativity and poetry! Can break my heart and mend it at the same time.
No1Uniq "Indie rock" doesn't mean anything, M. Sarcasm. Surf rock means something, pop rock & punk rock too. Pixies are the best band in thoses 3 genres, yes, because they're the only ones who mix them so wonderfully.
This song grabs me more with every listen. I cant believe the stain Indie Cindy's getting , it's got some awesome tunes on it! It's infectious to me as all Pixies or solo Frank Black has always been, I'm a total addict lol
New pixies is just mellow pixies. It’s hard to replicate the zany energy of youth when you’ve seen it all. No Kim means no whispery sexy vocals, and no young black Francis means no crazy screamy guy. It sounds perpetually crestfallen. Like if you’re two best friends we’re dating for ten years and broke up and you are left with the messy after math.
I know that this song seems to be getting a lot of flack but I personally adore it. My most-listened song on the album, to be honest. It has a similar feeling to another favourite Pixies song of mine, 'Havalina'. I love that melancholy etherial quality that this sort of music has. It takes my brain to a different place and almost shuts it down for a minute. Idk, it hits me right in the feelings.
yes indeed... Havalina is one of my favorite songs, and the production of Greens and Blues actually helps it a lot, some of the songs in this album have been totally ruined by it's production process, like as Snakes, but this one actually won an etherial hype that makes it sounds something from outer space and beyond!
I've not seen any flack here. Maybe it is buried low in the comments due to the algorithm picking up on the fact that people actually love the song. A great Pixies song - "new" Pixies too! - and accessible beyond Pixies fans themselves. Anybody could enjoy this song. Frank Black is a genius, no denying it. The fact that David Bowie picked up on them is proof enough.
I'm not together, and you know it's true. My bits all wander in the trees. And if I ever seem a little strange, Would you excuse me please? I said I’m human, but you know I lie. I'm only visiting this shore. I'll soon be leaving in the outbound tide I pray again we will meet. I’m wasting your time, just talking to you Maybe best you go on home. I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind, Slip into the greens and blues. I said I'm human, but you know I lied. I'm only visiting this shore. I'll soon be leaving in the outbound tide. I pray again we will meet. I’m wasting your time, just talking to you Maybe best you go on home. I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind Slip into the greens and blues. Greens and blues... I’m wasting your time, just talking to you, Maybe best you go on home. I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind, Slip into the greens and blues. I’m wasting your time, just talking to you, Maybe best you go on home. I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind, Slip into the greens and blues.
Heard this song yesterday for the first time on my first live Pixies concert ever, has been on my head all day and has made me happy and wonder, thanks so so much for keep making great music I enjoy
Your work for the last ten years has produced some of the most important, complex, and emotional songs I've ever encountered in my life, Frank Black. I know a lot of people refer to their favorite bands as providing "the sound-track of my life", but your songs have helped me live with depression, poverty, and all the modern bullshit attached to being an American these days. You and the rest of Pixies are the greatest band of all time. Fucking thank you, so much.
Love it. Why don't you haters just go spin the old stuff over and over again. This is just as good as it ever was, just open your mind and give it more than one spin. I hope when you take the time to create something new in life and release it to the world someone comes over and tells you how anything you do new sucks.
Love it. From the last EP to this, I think they are going great. Yes, having Kim back would be the icing on the cake, but still they are doing awesome. I want more Pixies.
I discovered Pixies very recently, through a live video that appeared by chance and I was immediately shocked, How come I didn't discover them before? All of their songs are truly fantastic, all of their melodies, I love Frank's screams, each of their members are phenomenal. I'm a new fan from Argentina so... ¡Aguante Pixies!
The Pixies make music to satisfy the ears, not for the money. Obviously if it were just for the money they would have broken up long ago. People that dislike the sound obviously never liked the Pixies for what they were and still are... Musical innovators and pure genius.
Hey y'all. Just saw that film for the first - I say it's wonderful.And the cast,wow! The show 9th March in Knoxvegas was truly great as well. Saying howdy before the show to mr.f.b.Francis was ,such a highlite too! Look forward 2 new album.bye
Frank said he wrote this so to be another "Gigantic-like song" so he/they could do this instead of Gigantic as an encore. Which suggests he can just knock out epic tunes like this whenever he wants, and hadn't really felt like it till then.
+Andrew Burns Frank Black had nothing outside of TOTY? Do your homework. You can't exactly extol the songwriter for "Greens and Blues" while dissing that same man's prolific solo career when you don't offer up any evidence for your claim. Can you at least provide some kind of support for why he's got nothing other than Teenager? Your comment is disrespectful to the artist and also disrespectful to the people who like Charles Thompson and who stood by him whether he was Black Francis or Frank Black.
This song is freaking brilliant. The melody, the lyrics feel like something out of a cousy Autumn rainy day, spent under the bed covers with ones lover - quite the best thing you can have. Pixies forever.
👍
Good lord..Pixies bro...Every song gets stuck in my head for days at a time.
this song makes me cry every time
Same here
One of the best riff written by Pixies. It’s so comfortable and emotional!
This song has a great Digging For Fire feel. It's nice that Pixies are revisiting ALL of their modes with these new songs.
Asi es...
This is amazing that this late in the game they are actually making incredible pop music. Paz joining saved this band from falling apart and instead is giving them a second life! This is fantastic! Pixies forever!
glad someone said this, they kind of rediscovered themselves and got over their own myth.
eles sempre fizeram baladas graças a produção de Gil norton nao é estranho oivir um album com mais musicas pop pois esta no dna deles
I saw them in Detroit about 3 weeks ago.
This song was probably the highlight of the evening.

There's nothing humble about claiming something is the best of its kind. That's a bold claim. Own it.
やはりPixiesはいつになっても最高のバンド！
No
Pixies are the best surf-pop-punk-rock band of all times.
No1Uniq
Why that ?
No1Uniq
"Indie rock" doesn't mean anything, M. Sarcasm. Surf rock means something, pop rock & punk rock too. Pixies are the best band in thoses 3 genres, yes, because they're the only ones who mix them so wonderfully.
Griffon pixies are indie rock band. you can say alternative rock too but they are not surf-pop-rock-punk i mean really what is that
No1Uniq they are not a indie band anymore?
No1Uniq Fuck off clowny.
being a pixies fan for 15 years I think this song is the best of the 2014 album and the closest to their older sound.
A brilliant return to form for the Pixies doing what they do best - Writing great melodies.
I really like this - it's my favourite "modern Pixies" track by far.
This song grabs me more with every listen. I cant believe the stain Indie Cindy's getting , it's got some awesome tunes on it! It's infectious to me as all Pixies or solo Frank Black has always been, I'm a total addict lol
it makes me cry so bad, listening to the lyrics...omg, im just overwhelmed by its beauty
I totally agree
I don't care what everyone else says, I like new Pixies too.
New pixies is just mellow pixies. It’s hard to replicate the zany energy of youth when you’ve seen it all. No Kim means no whispery sexy vocals, and no young black Francis means no crazy screamy guy.

@@HiddenInTheReeds k
Tristan Reid There's screaming in Blue Eyed Hexe.
@@HiddenInTheReeds I suggest you to visit one of their shows in 2019, you will find proof against most of your statement.
Old Pixies and New Pixies both good.
I know that this song seems to be getting a lot of flack but I personally adore it. My most-listened song on the album, to be honest. It has a similar feeling to another favourite Pixies song of mine, 'Havalina'. I love that melancholy etherial quality that this sort of music has.

Black Francis has always said Bossanova was his favorite Pixies album. So it seems like this song is exactly the kind of song he wants to be doing.

C'était le groupe de mes 20ans, il semble que ce soit également celui de les 50. Kim ou Paz, c'est top. GO PIXIES❤️❤️❤️
I think that might be the best Pixies video ever. Love the song too.
Reminds me of the summer in the mid 90's
so true
This song came into my life at such a weird time
It met you at a strange time in your life ;)
Same...
@@braedenarchambault9687 IDK how many people would get the FC reference. I don't. ;)
I noticed Braeden A's wording of the FC reference, sorry I missed it in the OP. Very nice! 😏
I see whatchya did there
love that dreamy Pixies sound
This was the most touching music video i have ever watched, brought me tear. Thanks pixies
ピクシーズは23年ぶりでも、一発で心に染みるー！
素敵な音をありがとうございます！
+Ariel Rivero My amigo!! Gracias for your reply! I'm so glad!
（*＾-＾*）
The world needs this.
This song is absolutely perfect.
Heard this song yesterday for the first time on my first live Pixies concert ever, has been on my head all day and has made me happy and wonder, thanks so so much for keep making great music I enjoy
The best and unique in Pixies, its harmonics are just outstanding and they love using these flat and sharp marks :)
Best of all songs❤
Great song from an awesome band
hell yea
Esta canción siempre me saca lágrimas.
Amazing, and I just discovered this album. Why does such a good album never gets the airplay it deserves.
I ♥ this song.
I don’t know where I am when I play this track....and I absolutely love the feeling. Pixies.. take my mind away, cheers 🧚♀️
This song helps when I feel lonely.
That's music and it's magic
Pixies have always had that magic for me too :)
Mee too.....
Me too
Put it on when you go lonely

You and the rest of Pixies are the greatest band of all time. Fucking thank you, so much.
This is the greatest song I've ever heard.
Easily one of the best lyric/melodies Charles has ever penned.
Love it. Why don't you haters just go spin the old stuff over and over again. This is just as good as it ever was, just open your mind and give it more than one spin. I hope when you take the time to create something new in life and release it to the world someone comes over and tells you how anything you do new sucks.
I wish I loved anyone this much
Thank You, Pixies! You're saving lives.
I love this song, I put it on repeat.
Awesome song. Good to hear music from this band again.
really love this song
My favourite favourite favourite song!!!
The beats of Pixies are so unbelieveable for ever---greetings from San Juan, Argentina.
Cool tune. Great to see the Pixies put out some exceptional music after all the time apart. Not much has changed. Go Pixies!
Este videoclip es una obra de arte.
This song gives me insane nostalgia
goD THIS IS SO GOOD
+Ross William Taylor what are you a nerd or something
my thoughts exactly.
Sounds like a Frank Black throwaway track at best
Lucas Cobb no it doesn’t,if you don’t like it,why the fuck are you here??? Moron
Such a beautiful sound. I love you, Pixies.
Love it. From the last EP to this, I think they are going great. Yes, having Kim back would be the icing on the cake, but still they are doing awesome. I want more Pixies.
Will be 2022 Pixies classic
2022. Still listening..
and, Joeys guitar work is simply PHENOMENAL , makes the song really jump out at you and grab you by the throat
I enjoy this song for it simplicity and strength.
Finally...I have found my funeral song...carry me out to this please.
Thought exactly that today! It saved me through dental work, listened to it on repeat 💞
Linda cancion greens and blues,me inspira mucho
Los amo pixies
Masterpiece
I personally have loved it since I've first heard it. It reminds me of Fool Cooly.
+Raini Garcia Memories. Still coming back again and again. My love for the pixies....

The Pixies still RULE!
As brilliant as ever with a video to match. Love it!
Pixies forever!!!
A gud song after waiting for so long.. feels like crying n jumping with joy.

Best opening to FLCL ever
I love this song as much as every other greatest hit from Pixies
Wow, they still got it. they are amazing!

teenager of the year but nothing like greens n blues

Im a big frank black fan.its just my opinion that he dropped off after the pixies. if you don't like it go have a cry wank
Andrew Burns You're a "big" Frank Black fan who openly says he had "nothing" from Teenager until now?
My favorite song on their new stuff !! they are Legend !!
