The classical composer Stravinsky once said that there are only two kinds of music: Good and bad. This is very good pop music, unlike Taylor Swift's it will last.
I, personally, love how the singer goes from a nonchalant and informal delivery of verse into full loud wailing beauty in the chorus. It's unexpected, and is what makes this song memorable.
@doosin8696 with current knowledge I could change the world, I don't want that responsibility. Take me back to the 1980's when I was able to enjoy a great decade.
Great comment, and probably a sentiment shared by many many millions. Back then all we worried about was mutual nuclear annihilation, which turned out to be a hyped up threat. Now it seems that innocence is so rare it's all but gone.
@Brendon Walker I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK MYSELF, BUT WITH WHAT I KNOW KNOW. CAN YOU IMAGINE? I LOVE SCIENCE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TRIP. I WOULD PLAY THE LOTTERY AND GIVE MONEY TO ALL KINDA OF CHARITIES. STOP AND GIVE MONEY TO THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HURTING. TO VETERANS JUST HAVE A BLAST HELPING PEOPLE.
We all wanted to grow up and have better technology... But now we wish we were kids... One thing about the 80s that nobody mentions thats different from now would be that in the 80s if you were a broke kid(like I was) life really sucked... These days lower class kids can afford all types of shit, youtube, video games they're never bored... In the 80s if you were broke you get nothing, the most boring life you could imagine, if you couldn't afford cable and video games you were really fucked in the 80s, it was more expensive and hard to make money with such low minimum wage, things have become more socialistic now with more govmnt programs to help, free phones etc...
Gotta say some of the best music in the 80's came out of the UK: echo, smiths, stranglers, Thompson twins, clash, pet shop boys, English beat, tears for fears, simple minds, police, cure, to name but a few
XTC, The Housemartins, Yazoo, Modern English, Depeche Mode, Prefab Sprout, Duran Duran, Talk Talk, OMD, China Crisis, Fine Young Cannibals, General Public...and of course New Order.
I’m an American and I was on assignment in Sydney, Australia from 2000-2002. I caught Echo as the opening act for The Furs in a tiny bar that couldn’t have held more than 150 people. It was a very cool and intimate show. About 30 minutes after The Furs closed, both bands came out and had several drinks with those of us that remained. I got to chat with them. It was a very rememberable night
I saw Echo and the Bunnymen with the Psychedelic Furs about 20 years ago at Mandalay Bay. That was such a fun show. What an interesting experience you had.
Melody, lyrics, chords, voice, combination of everything that makes the mind travel, desires emerge, life is reborn, dreams return, memories resurface. Perfect and rejuvenating!
I am 57 yes old and remember dancing to this song in my basement. MTV brought me into A world I never knew and I thrived !!! Born in the "60's" was to young for rocking the clubs in the "70's" but this...this was GOLD !!!! Praise the lords and ladies for my time !!!!!
The 80s were a magical decade to grow up in. This has been said a million times on RUclips, but it's just so damn true. If you lived it, you get it. If you didn't, maybe you can catch a small piece through the music.
+Infinite Shandy Not really I grew up in the 80's graduated in 88. Most of the music sucked, some was good like Peter Gabriel and a few others. But the great music came from the 60's and 70's.
Psychologitron The 60s and 70s had amazing music to be sure. I think our generation had a healthy respect for the music of our parents, unlike more current generations that seem to be largely disconnected from / disinterested in tradition. In the 80s, a surprising diversity of genres blended together to create a fun atmosphere.
it brings me back to my 16's.. Born in 65, the 80's and all these bands were pure gold. I wouldn't change a second of my youth for another actually....
Absolutely man. Born in 67 and I loved being a kid in 70's with all of the freedom my parents gave me and a teen in the 80's with even more freedom. Couldn't have picked a better time to grow up. I wish I could go back and visit whenever I wanted to.
yeah music essentialy started to die after the 80s some exeptions like the pale saints "insubstantial" any one who likes beautifull emotional music with that contrast of total euphoria and total despair will love that album its an absolute masterpeice they went downhill after that apart from the ep with kinki love on it . these days music total sucks i hate all of it apart from some of the new psychedelic bands like mars red sky esp arcadia.
Born in 79 thank GOD! I didn't get the party life of the eighties, but I sat in front of the TV and watched video after video on MTV...THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!
Oh how can music produce such a visceral reaction? I feel pure joy, sadness, grief, love, nostalgia, all at the same time listening to this song. All of the elements - the instruments, production and Ian's voice combine to produce pure perfection. The lyrics, those chord progressions. Magical.
well said thats cos they were a shooting star band check my comment on blue blue ocean but this is definately the highlight of the album such a beautifull song
At 56 growing up with this music and likes of souxie , the cure , the smiths , killing joke , house Martin's etc ... ! I'm still a musician and am playing with a lot of younger guys and girls now who think their music is the bomb , sorry the eighties world wide created so many iconic acts that no one can hold a candle to even now !
Great band for the time period...just b4 the vid happened I had the privilege to take a few people to London England to see the bunnymen in concert....had a great time with my friends for 2 weeks.....doing it again with the same friends on oct 31 in Diest , Belgium for Sinners Day Festival...4th row center tickets n 2 weeks to party...lol...hope Belgium is nice...never been there but from wat I've been looking on Google it's looks like a fantastic place to visit...now that everything is basically back to normal it's time to start travelling again...I'm sure I can find some other great concerts or festivals somewhere to enjoy with great friends...stay safe people....peace
That is jumping to conclusions. It is one of the best bands from the eighties and there was really good music. But it was also the age of Stock, Aitken and Waterman. Everything produced by them made me want to stick a pencil in my ears.
I'm 15 and I grew up with this kind of music. My grandparents would often play songs like this every morning and I would wake up, I think that really influenced my music taste.
Neither does this 58 year old. I remember cruising Madison Ave. in Memphis back in 87. I drove a 65 black Cadillac hearse and me and my crew would blast this song. Good times.
Did you do the "car dance", and bob your head? I'm also 60 lol and I delight in the uptight, uncomfortable looks in the cars around me, as they refuse to make eye contact lol.
@@DavidWilliams-so2dy When I was about 5 or 6 (1965 or 6) my Mom and I came out of our house to find a black 58 or 9 Cadillac hearse, gleaming, with red velvet curtains in the back, and a framed pic of Bela Lugosi as Dracula in the back side window. I, who already loved the Munsters, the Addams Family, Creature Feature, Dark Shadows, etc. said, "Mom! Look at this cool car!! Can we wait and talk to the owner??" She looked terrified by the prospect of actually meeting whatever ghoul owned a thing like this, and said, "No! Get away from that thing and let's go!" "Awww Moooom... can we buy a hearse??" "NO!! NOW JUST COME WITH ME AND BE QUIET!!" :)

The only down-side to the 80's is disappointment in the future. We thought things were great and only getting better... we didn't realize it was all down hill from there.
I spent years at Sea during the late 70's to early 80's. Songs like these hitting the shores of the Atlantic are great memories of mine as an era conducting an important service to my Country. Early 80's music was in great demand by college radio stations, and we waited almost daily for new additions.
I can't speak for everyone or all of my friends, but this was one of my personal favorites of all times. I still have the CDs and even tapes of this music and listen to it from time to time, but the 80s, we listened to this group and especially this song all the time. What an amazing song and music it is. All of this brings back so many incredible memories. We saw them on the pier in NY back in a day and it was one of the most amazing things to hear this song live, outside and dance in the crowd of people with the same music passion.
Echo & The Bunnymen have so many amazing tracks. Truly underrated in the pantheon of great 80s bands. Lips like sugar. The killing moon. Seven Seas. The Cutter. Bring on the dancing horses. Songs to the soundtrack of my life.
To think that in '87, i was on metal n hard rock. Never would've heard or known about this band until decades later, internet n youtube. Thank god for progress.
Lets remember the late drummer for Echo. Peter Louis Vincent de Freitas.. Performed on their first five albums.. Died in a motorcycle accident in 1989 at the age of 27. So very sad.. But his drumming lives on..
Wow. Another “27.” I was born in 1960, and this was my music. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. I highly recommend buying & reading Gene Simmons’ (yes, of KISS) book called simply “27.” And read “Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon.”
Key word there... "Almost". There are a steady supply of NEW bands in recent years showcasing the 80's New Wave influences. Because IT IS indeed a "timeless" sound bands like Capital City, M83, Knox Hamilton, Crystal Castle's stunning "Not in Love" (featuring The Cure's Robert Smith) and Spandau Ballet-esque and unabashedly 80's NEW band St. Lucia "Walking on Broken Glass". There are plenty of 80's infused bands out there like Ok Go "Writings on the Wall", Coleman Hell "2 Heads", Joywave and of course everybody knows about The Killers and Neon Trees. While the greatest decade since the 50's may be over, I am thrilled to know that the 80's has branded itself on the these next gen bands. Suffice to say... the 80's will never die.
I bought this BRAND NEW on a cassette tape just after hearing this song on WXRT 93.1 so long ago I can't remember. I still have the cassette tape and it works very good. I laughing just thinking about it. I used to day dream of a Girl with Sugar Kisses. I'm over 64 , I will keep listening to this till my end of time. Enjoy People, ENJOY!
80's absolutely were special times. Punk, new wave, alternative, beginnings of electro...so good. Listened to 99.1 WHFS, Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington. So good.
Echo and the Bunnymen, one of the most underrated bands of the 1980's. Up there with Adam and the Ants, Sparks, DEVO, Midnight Oil, Pet Shop Boys, ABC, XTC, and The Cult.
What can I say about this great track..... This is ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN at their peak! Will's guitar, Pete's drumming and Ian's Vocals are simply brilliant! How I miss this 1980's Liverpool sound!
I tell my kids all the time that 80s was one of the best. I'm an 80s child that listen to them songs while it was on the radio. It's the 2024🎉 new year was just a couple day and still living the 80s in my 505 blue denim Levi's jeans❤ I'm hanging on😊
This to me sounds like the 80's and everything I miss about them without getting overtly nostalgic. I ❤️ this song 🎵: the vibe from his voice, words and delivery.
I'm 35, and I lucked out that I grew up listening to a lot of these great bands: Echo & The Bunnymen, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Joy Division, Cruxshadows, Bauhaus - for a long time I didn't know the band names, I just was a little kid listening to cassette tapes having a grand time.
There’s a HUGE demand and market for this style of edgy music today. We need many new artists to write in this mode. It would be well received! Cheers.
They still sound fresh. Their videos are on point too. I'm 37, too young to have really cared about them the first time around but old enough to feel I should have discovered their music sooner.
There something special when a song captures a time and place and can take you back in time to remember people and places and change your emotions. Such a gift.
65 YO, 2024 and Echo and the Bunnymen still kill it ❤
The classical composer Stravinsky once said that there are only two kinds of music: Good and bad. This is very good pop music, unlike Taylor Swift's it will last.
55 anos aqui e concordando com tudo isso que vc disse.
@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq I respect your opinion. But I would not classify EATB as "pop". New Wave is my opinion. Just my opinion though.
I, personally, love how the singer goes from a nonchalant and informal delivery of verse into full loud wailing beauty in the chorus.
It's unexpected, and is what makes this song memorable.
Echoes of future, that's what I hear when listening to this song
Sound/frequency is key to time travel.
It sounds more futuristic and modern than the "modern"(soulless) stuff out now.
I'm 60 and I'm going to see them live in Sept 2023 - decades after seeing them in 1986! Long live the Bunnymen!
Funny we just planned a trip to see them a couple hours ago, then I read this. I'm 45

There was a magic about this song and the decade of the 1980’s. Nothing has better since! I’m proud to be a part of that era.

The mid-80’s weren’t easy for me following high school,, but these great 80’s songs got me thru, and they still do today - the power of music!
I was young in the 80s. This song makes me feel young again.
I can't speak for everyone or all of my friends, but this was one of my personal favorites of all times. I still have the CDs and even tapes of this music and listen to it from time to time, but the 80s, we listened to this group and especially this song all the time. What an amazing song and music it is. All of this brings back so many incredible memories. We saw them on the pier in NY back in a day and it was one of the most amazing things to hear this song live, outside and dance in the crowd of people with the same music passion.
Chills every time I’ve heard this song, and I’m 62, loved every minute of this band!
What a voice!!! Thank you Bunnymen!
Best days of my life!...what a decade!😎
they have such an amazing sound from the guitar work to Ian's voice, it's special.
This song gets me very single time... No one like Echo & the Bunnymen!
Echo & The Bunnymen have so many amazing tracks. Truly underrated in the pantheon of great 80s bands. Lips like sugar. The killing moon. Seven Seas. The Cutter. Bring on the dancing horses. Songs to the soundtrack of my life.
If you’re in your 60’s, 50’s, 40’s and 30’s….
You’re NOT old, you were blessed to grow up in a beautiful era of music
This song was my and my doggo's road trip anthem. Summertime, head out the window, just us. RIP Blacky
Aw, I’m so sorry for the loss of your buddy. Fare thee well, Blacky.
Great band. Great song. I miss the 80's.
80's FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!
To think that in '87, i was on metal n hard rock. Never would've heard or known about this band until decades later, internet n youtube. Thank god for progress.
Lets remember the late drummer for Echo. Peter Louis Vincent de Freitas.. Performed on their first five albums.. Died in a motorcycle accident in 1989 at the age of 27. So very sad.. But his drumming lives on..
He would be 62 now like me.
Wow. Another “27.”
I was born in 1960, and this was my music. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. I highly recommend buying & reading Gene Simmons’ (yes, of KISS) book called simply “27.”
And read “Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon.”
@@reagonowmix As in Laurel Canyon? Sounds interesting.
I was quite upset when I heard of Pete's death. He was a great drummer and I was lucky enough to see him drum with this brilliant band. RIP Peter.
Doing some late shopping at Walmart and this banger was playing.
Makes you wanna go find another shopper and start dancing in the chip isle.
That guitar solo got me right in the gothic part of my heart i never new I had
Echo! You would just adore my big brother Mikey,,,check him out on my channel
the best poetry in the guise of a comment ever been gave to the internets...Thanx Erika. You make my day.
Gibson's Jazz Master ?
That Tone...
That part is my fave.....
Will Sergeants a guitar hero for 1980s Post-punk
So many of my age who enjoyed this great time🎉
This song solidified itself as an 80’s anthem. Ian McCulloch kills it on vocals. So many great times partying to this song back in the day. 😎🤙🏾✌🏾
So excited to see them in 2024 in Charlotte, dreams are coming true
Too bad this type of music has almost disappeared it has A BEAUTIFUL sound And is Timeless.
+Eddie Miller It is too bad. Most of the music today sucks, I can't stand the radio I play digital or CD's.
+pagansforbreakfast I don't agree. Kids standards have dropped off immensely. Good music is still being made, but payola caters to kids now.
+pagansforbreakfast whoa that's ignorant
+Bob Lorek You nailed it. It's there but just harder to find.
Key word there... "Almost". There are a steady supply of NEW bands in recent years showcasing the 80's New Wave influences. Because IT IS indeed a "timeless" sound bands like Capital City, M83, Knox Hamilton, Crystal Castle's stunning "Not in Love" (featuring The Cure's Robert Smith) and Spandau Ballet-esque and unabashedly 80's NEW band St. Lucia "Walking on Broken Glass". There are plenty of 80's infused bands out there like Ok Go "Writings on the Wall", Coleman Hell "2 Heads", Joywave and of course everybody knows about The Killers and Neon Trees. While the greatest decade since the 50's may be over, I am thrilled to know that the 80's has branded itself on the these next gen bands. Suffice to say... the 80's will never die.
This is on the soundtrack at work and needless to say the volume is at max!
I bought this BRAND NEW on a cassette tape just after hearing this song on WXRT 93.1 so long ago I can't remember. I still have the cassette tape and it works very good. I laughing just thinking about it. I used to day dream of a Girl with Sugar Kisses. I'm over 64 , I will keep listening to this till my end of time. Enjoy People, ENJOY!
XRT still plays the song. 😆
it was impossible for the 80s to produce anything but awesome music and movies......greatest time to be a teenager!!
80's music is the best era. These classics are timeless!
So is 90s and early 2000s music as well tho
My uncle used to listen to them all the time. He got me hooked.
This music is still awesome.........in 2021!!!!!!!!
also in 2022!!!
And 2022 what u think in we're not with / this is music/ real music 😎😎😎😎
2022.
And 2022! 😊
Still in 2022
80's absolutely were special times. Punk, new wave, alternative, beginnings of electro...so good. Listened to 99.1 WHFS, Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington. So good.
Listen to 92.3 here in New Jersey where they guarantee 2 minutes of commercials. Unlike other stations that goes beyond that time
2020 and miss this all the more! glad we can share the music online
KROQ Rock of the 80's here.
Loved Weasel!
Dont forget trash metal as well.
Echo and the Bunnymen, one of the most underrated bands of the 1980's. Up there with Adam and the Ants, Sparks, DEVO, Midnight Oil, Pet Shop Boys, ABC, XTC, and The Cult.
Undies!
@@nomennudum5270Lol. Stealing that phrase 😆
And the Cure.
Just love this alt classic. Can’t wait to see the guys in Chicago this May!
Saw them last night at a gig in Bexhill - They looked & sounded great! Great '80's band!
Lucky duck!
What can I say about this great track..... This is ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN at their peak! Will's guitar, Pete's drumming and Ian's Vocals are simply brilliant! How I miss this 1980's Liverpool sound!
William H. Baird and the bassist
Les was incredible!
Ian Cisneros here...just saying...woooo
"Ocean Rain" album was them at their peak.
The Fab Four from Liverpool ?
Absolutely listening now. Remembering my true loves lips.
I tell my kids all the time that 80s was one of the best. I'm an 80s child that listen to them songs while it was on the radio. It's the 2024🎉 new year was just a couple day and still living the 80s in my 505 blue denim Levi's jeans❤ I'm hanging on😊
This to me sounds like the 80's and everything I miss about them without getting overtly nostalgic. I ❤️ this song 🎵: the vibe from his voice, words and delivery.
My style of music from my generation (X), damn how I miss the 80's.
me too. I wanna go back to the 80's
me too
Same here!
same
Victor Castro same Gen-X
what a majical time. Everything was better than , music, movies people and the pureness of it all, tons of friends.
Classic 80's , loved every bit of it.
Echo was the best in genre. Haunting, original, beautiful.
Yes. ❤
WooHoo! I’m 63 and still listening
64 & finally saw them May 2024 Brooklyn NY!!! Great concert!! Acoustics were awesome
me too!

I'm 35, and I lucked out that I grew up listening to a lot of these great bands: Echo & The Bunnymen, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Joy Division, Cruxshadows, Bauhaus - for a long time I didn't know the band names, I just was a little kid listening to cassette tapes having a grand time.
There’s a HUGE demand and market for this style of edgy music today. We need many new artists to write in this mode. It would be well received! Cheers.
Agreed! The "rappin" style crap is worn out and old...80's rules, rap drools
Can we go back to THOSE days?
They still sound fresh. Their videos are on point too. I'm 37, too young to have really cared about them the first time around but old enough to feel I should have discovered their music sooner.
enjoy the brilliance!
Same here. Maybe it’s because 80’s music was all around us from 0-5 years old so it’s hardwired into our subconscious.
There something special when a song captures a time and place and can take you back in time to remember people and places and change your emotions. Such a gift.
One of the songs that defined the eighties music scene extremely well.
