![]() Black Francis (1993) [ larger cover art ] |
This gravity
Is feeling like a tether
I want to want to be
So high above the weather
All frequency around
Round, round, round, round
Without a sound
And there's today
And there's two spaces
And too many places
Not to go to, ooh
This big old sea
Is feeling like a pleasure
I look cautiously
At all the falling treasure
With some frequency it comes down
Down, down, down, down
Without a sound
And there's today
And there's two spaces
And too many places
Not to go to, ooh

| kilroyjoe3 (Farmington, NM) | Posted: Jan 06, 2011 - 19:34 HA! I was about to whine too. Brilliant! Still, 2 or 3. I'll listen to the whole song before deciding. themotion wrote: Love it. Mostly because I knew when I looked at the RP comments, there would be a lot of whining |
| lmic (Harmless Little Bunny) | Posted: Jun 30, 2010 - 00:20 I'd thought the original source of the whole "Frank is a fake" thing was Henry Rollins. But then I read recently that he actually loved The Pixies. Anyone know the deal? (no pun intended :) |

Is that possible, to remind someone of an opinion? |

The fact that the Bush retard is president instead of some other retard has nothing to do with it. Frank and the Heads are both worthy of your respect; I don't really care if you care. |
| electronicshaman (miskatonic) | Posted: Feb 08, 2007 - 17:41 my first thought was The Police... |

But what about Los Angeles - and the new Burn today - I do see the suck in a lot of his tunes but he does have some gems too. |
| Wilmshurst (My pineal gland) | Posted: Jan 03, 2007 - 11:12 Sounds a bit more B52-ish to me. ![]() |

| Lensles (Baton Rouge, LA) | Posted: Sep 08, 2006 - 14:20 Funny, as this song started I thought it was going to be Elvis Costello. Then, oh yeah, Frank. I do love Frank, but other songs better. |
| Mari (why do all the country girls leave?) | Posted: Aug 17, 2006 - 09:50 Man of Steel playin' on LRC at the same time, this is indeed a Magical Mystery Tour de Force, all credit to Rebecca and Bill for a wonderfull 24/7/365 show! ![]() |
| Thistle (Peg City) | Posted: Aug 17, 2006 - 09:48 Love Frank. Saw him a few years ago and it was probably my fave live show ever -- or right up there. But this particular selection is one of his quirkier numbers. |

ouch. quite the jarring segue there.
let's not do that again. They did it again! Are they just replaying a previous show? |
| ChardRemains (Pepperland) | Posted: Jun 27, 2006 - 08:45 Frank Black needs Kim Deal in order to make sense. |

:puke: No, you can't. You have to listen to all his diversified stuff here on wonderful RP and then all the great Pixies music, and then . . . and only then, can you "sucko-barfo" everything by Mr. Black. Hey, you asked! |

Well, now we know we should keep Danny Elfman away from Difford and Tilbrook... This was an annoying little tune. |

| Mugro (Lane Village, Massachusetts) | Posted: Jan 29, 2005 - 15:32 I never bought his solo stuff. I guess it annoyed me that he changed his stage name so much. Kinda like Puff Daddy/P-Diddy nonsense. Frank Black, Black Francis, etc. No thanks. |
