Pixies - Winterlong Lyrics






I waited for you winterlong
You seemed to be where I belong
It's all illusion anyway

If things should ever turn out wrong
And all the love we have is gone
It won't be easy
On that day

Waiting to follow
Through the dream light of your way
Is not so easy for me now

After time has passed your way
Things we thought of yesterday
Come back now
Comeback now
Whoahohhh

Waiting to follow
Through the dream light of your way
Is not so easy for me now

After time has passed your way
Things we thought of yesterday
Come back now
Comeback now
Whoahohhh

I waited for you winterlong
You seemed to be where I belong [repeat both lines 6X in sequence]

    I might be biased because I'm a HUGE pixies fan but this version is better than Neil Young! That's saying something!

  3. N.... R....

    Very good cover

  4. M.... C....

    Wtf people need to compare everything, just appreciate it, Jesus.

    That's exactly what thought

  8. R.... D....

    I waited for you, Winterlong
    You seem to be where I belong.
    It's all illusion anyway.

    If things should ever turn out wrong
    And all the love we have is gone,
    It won't be easy on that day.

    Waiting to follow
    Through the dreamlight of your way
    Is not so easy for me now.

    Half the time has passed away
    Things we thought of yesterday
    Come back now, come back now.

    Waiting to follow
    Through the dreamlight of your way
    Is not so easy for me now.

    Half the time has passed away
    Things we thought of yesterday
    Come back now, come back now.

    I waited for you Winterlong
    You seem to be where I belong.

    They really fucked this song up, sad, bands nowadays have no talent, rely on remaking others songs.

    r.... ....

    rustynail246 lol are you for real, or are you just trolling? There’s no way someone could make a comment this stupid...

  13. P.... P....

    This cover sounds like a garage band just learning. This is AWFUL.How can anyone with ears think this sounds good ?

    P.... P....

    I think its better than the original one.

  17. A.... ....

    I just saw the Pixies last night and they played this. Vaporized my heart. I love this song. I came home and found this. I had no idea they recorded this. Awesome. Yes.

    A.... ....

    Neil Bridge School tribute cover album....This was their contribution. Check out Nick Cave's helpless! The whole album is uh, well, interesting...I remember it fondly....

  18. R.... S....

    M.... ....

    MaaaarrJ back in the 90s

  28. P.... B....

    Great emotion song from Pixies.Very heart-felt Kim Deal

  29. m.... b....

    better vocals,but lacking male passion,so not better.

  30. D.... M....

    This is Neil Young with all the soul and emotion that makes him so great stripped away.

    D.... M....

    Your obviously entitled to your opinion. You'r wrong, but entitled none the less.

    D.... M....

    @Lewis Barrah Musical preference is opinion, so there is no right or wrong.

    D.... M....

    you are right, obviously. I just disagree here. 

    D.... M....

    Shut the fuck up, you retarded boomer.

  31. p.... ....

    Those tags though.

    p.... ....

    phasetransfercatalyst Christ, I know.

  32. c.... ....

    Neil Young, not Diamond. Get off the crack mate.

  33. D.... ....

    Best cover done of any song in the existence of music. The Pixies and their magic at it again!

  34. a.... ....

    does NOT surpass the original ... you have to listen to the live version of neil young's winterlong. but it is a GREAT version.

    a.... ....

    You need to understand opinions are not truth. One person can think it surpasses the original, one can not. They can both exist. It's okay for others to think different things. It's how humanity works.

    a.... ....

    Its WAY better than the original. .

  35. L.... O....

    Let it be Niel. But dollars and sense

  36. S.... R....

    it's the Pixies dude, guitar playing ALWAYS has emotion ;)

  37. E.... A....

    God bless Canada.

  38. J.... A....

    Getting chills. Neil's version never did that !!

    J.... A....

    Bullshit!!! Neil's is so atmospheric there's no oxygen.

  39. D.... S....

    Best cover of a Neil Young song that I've ever heard.

    D.... S....

    you are full of shit

    D.... S....

    PIXIES GOT IT NO DOUBT !!! LOVE THEM TO DEATH

  40. F.... F....

    still good

  41. e.... ....

    I love this version, it brings the energy of the Pixies to a great song. I do prefer it over the original, but I am a Pixies fan, of course...

    e.... ....

    you must be a millennial, it brings the shit of the Pixies, or whatever they call themselves.

  42. t.... ....

    its Neil not Niel

  43. C.... ....

    la versión es fantástica, pero de ahí a descir que supera el original.......

    Wtf is wrong with the description? Are you crazy?

  51. J.... A....

    solo hay 1 puñado de covers que han sido tan buenos como su original.esta es una.sin dudas.gracias neil.gracias pixies.

  52. o.... ....

    Ok, your post might be troll bait, but Neil Young is not Neil Diamond.

  53. K.... G....

    had no idea this was a neil diamond song.

    K.... G....

    You still have no idea

  54. p.... ....

    Sorry to say this but this cover sucks ass compared to the original. Singing is shit and the guitar playing has no emotion.

  55. 4.... ....

    uh no...there's this one..

  56. m.... s....

    Not bad but the one and only version is from NEIL YOUNG!
    Cheers

  67. s.... ....

    Also available on the Neil Young tribute compilation The Bridge

  68. t.... ....

    @marig369
    True statement.

  69. A.... S....

    I love how on every cover the Pixies do, there's at least one person who calls it THE BEST COVER EVER.
    :D
    Long Live The Pixies!

  70. T.... V....

    Saying its better than neil's version is blasphemy

  71. g.... ....

    I think a Neil Young version of Where Is My Mind? would be really good.

  72. N.... F....

    @Alphabex8 cut n'paste?

  73. C.... ....

    pixies are good live :P

  74. T.... ....

    probably the best cover they did

  75. j.... ....

    It has a more tender, punk-aesthetic feel to it. They make it uglier, but in a good way. Neil's is more longing and dramatic but Frank Black gives it his own spin without robbing it of the greatness Neil provided when he wrote the song. Plus I dig the chord alteraiton. A Pixies B-side and Neil sat on it for 3 years or so before releasing it so both versions were tucked away somewhere. Such a brilliant nugget feels like the kind of tune that shouldn't be out in the open as a lead track or single.

  76. b.... g....

    never got into neil young but this cover rules ,pixes 4 ever n ever

  77. D.... ....

    this is probably one of my favourite songs by the pixies ^.^

  78. S.... K....

    I LOVE the Pixies, and I LOVE Neil Young so this cover only makes sence to me, it's so good
