Havalina

Pixies

Havalina, Havalina, Havalina, Havalina

Walking in the breeze on the plains of Old Segona
(Arizona)
Among the trees

Havalina, Havalina, Havalina, Havalina
Havalina, Havalina, Havalina, Havalina
Havalina, Havalina, Havalina, Havalina

    General CommentOne of, if not the most beautiful Pixies songs ever. I heard it was about chasing a pig through a forest with your girlfriend, but I could easily be wrong. A great song to fall asleep to, very peaceful.

    My InterpretationI see this song as a counterpart to "Caribou" (in that the chorus is simply the repetition of an animal's name, and both songs seem to express envy/reverence for the wild and free nature of their lives).

    This song isn't about people at all, it's just a pastoral image of a Javelina wandering about the trees of Sedona, Arizona.

    General CommentThis is a amazing song that really is a overlooked Pixies masterpiece. I think it's about simply just walking along a beach in Arizona enjoying life without worrying about money,jobs etc.

    General CommentIn arizona, the Javelina (a small warthog) is hunted for sport. I think he's referring to that animal in the song. Perhaps he is writing about living out in the wilderness as a Javelina.

    General CommentThere aren't any large beaches in Arizona either. It's mostly desert and plains.
