Pixies - Where is my mind

PrintCamiel Bouchier0

You met me in a very strange time in my life

This might be a bit of a wayward choice, but this is probably the song I'd want to have played at the end of my funeral.

The song wrestles with the human condition, the feeling of being lost, and searching for a way out. The choice would have that touch of cynism I sometimes embrace.

But it also is a song that inspires people to come together and to dance. I see them dancing out of the room going back to their lifes. Some of them maybe with one or two good memories of me.

And last but not least: great music with an iconic riff.

Pixies: Where is my mind?.


Oh - stop

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except a little fish bumped into me
Swear he was trying to talk to me, coy koi

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

Oh
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Oh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Oh
Oh
