Havalina

One 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.

The most beautiful song ever.

I 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.

Im pretty sure its Sedona, Arizona. So yeah, this song is pretty self-explanatory.

This 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.

Such a great closer to Bossanova, so simple and pretty...

minor factor, colinf, i don't think there are any beaches in arizona, i think it's landlocked.

One of the best songs ever life is good.

In 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.

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