Here Comes Your Man
"Here Comes Your Man" is a song by the American alternative rock band Pixies, written and sung by the band's frontman Black Francis. Produced by Gil Norton, it was released as the second single from the group's second album ''Doolittle'' in June 1989.
Written by Black Francis as a teenager, "Here Comes Your Man" was recorded for the band's 1987 demo tape, but not included on either ''Come On Pilgrim'' or ''Surfer Rosa'', as the songwriter was reluctant about releasing the song. Critics saw "Here Comes Your Man" as the Pixies' breakthrough song; Jon Dolan of ''Spin'' magazine commented that it was "the most accessible song ever by an underground-type band."〔Frank, Ganz, p. 148〕 The song reached number three on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Modern Rock Tracks chart.
==Background and recording==
Black Francis recalled that he wrote "Here Comes Your Man" around the time he was age 14 or 15.〔Spitz, Marc. "Life to the Pixies". ''Spin''. September 2004.〕 Years later after the Pixies were formed, producer Paul Kolderie noted the group didn't want to record "Here Comes Your Man" for its demo "The Purple Tape". The group referred to it as "the Tom Petty song", according to Kolderie. Producer Gary Smith said, "There was some reluctance to do 'Here Comes Your Man' because it was too pop, there was something too straight about it."〔Frank, Ganz, p. 67〕 When 4AD label head Ivo Watts-Russell handpicked the tracklisting for the group's debut release ''Come on Pilgrim'', he intentionally left out "Here Comes Your Man". Watts-Russell stated that he liked the song, but "it felt just too obviously commercial and I didn't know what we were doing with (band )".〔Frank, Ganz, p. 82〕 Watts-Russell also felt it was too reminiscent of Mink DeVille's "Spanish Stroll".〔Sisario, p. 44〕 For a post-''Surfer Rosa'' single, 4AD rejected another recording of the song; they later chose "Gigantic", with "River Euphrates" on the B-side.〔Sisario, p. 88–9〕
Francis reflected in 2004 that during the recording of the group's second album ''Doolittle'' he felt embarrassed by "Here Comes Your Man", but since producer Gil Norton really liked the song, the songwriter "threw him a bone".〔 Norton recorded the band performing the song's backing track when Black Francis was not available. The song featured a different arrangement from previous recordings of the track, and Black Francis added another verse to it.〔Frank, Ganz, p. 142–3〕
