OK people we are on to number 2!

I love this songs punding guitar riff, so simple but powerful, almost violent in its drive?

I used to skip this song alot when i first got the album but after i read a translation of the lyrics i really started to dig it.

It reminds me of a girl i know that wanted to go overseas to escape all the shit she had to deal with here. I myself also can relate to just wanting to get the fuck out of here and got to place"where there is no suffering!"

You used to skip it? Are you mad sir (or were you?)

It's absolutely fantastic. It was on of the songs that impressed me the most on first listen on the album.

To be honest I sometimes skip it but when I do listen to it I realise just how much I like it. It's a fun song to play on the guitar too.

Isla De Encanta is the worst song ever written. Not just Pixies song, I mean any song.

I love the dynamics of this song. And the whole Island of Enchantment thing. It always sounds almost evil when Franks singing in Spanish or Puerto Rican or whichever specific lanuage it is.

Love that bit in the middle where it breaks down and he starts singing in English again.

Prolly one of my favourite Come on Pilgrim songs.
