I'm 68. From Italy. I saw them in concert in Milano in the summer of 1982. I think Bunnymen are the most underrated band in the entire rock history. Simply, I loved them..
you are so lucky to see them live back then! i grew up in Los Angeles and they were very popular here. i bought the Ocean Rain album when it came out in ‘84. God it was so amazing. one of the greatest bands of all time. sadly, never saw them live.
Echo, The Smiths, Siouxsie and the banshees were all great bands and a big part of my teens. Their music takes me right back to endless summers in the '80s.
@@antoniobruno5194 That's right antonio, where I'm from in the UK there was lots of pubs all packed out especially from friday to sunday, drinking, smoking and the music just like you said. A great time. The pubs would shut at 3 o'clock in the afternoon until 6 o'clock when it opened again, me and my mates would be standing outside our first pub at 5 to 6 waiting for it to open to get our first few beers down, put some music on the jukebox, play some pool, and you could smoke aswell,then off to the next pub. Now 2 thirds of those pubs have gone now. I feel sorry for the younger generation, especially at the weekend, they only have a small amount of pubs and it's just not the same atmosphere. I loved the '80s, bring it back lol. 👍🍺🍻🚬🎵🎶
it takes me back to the summer of 1984, a beautiful all-Italian summer for me, DD and Spandau, George Michael were going crazy on the radio, but in the evening I listened to a national channel that programmed New Wave/Alternative music before going out and partying with friends. From my compact Technics stereo I recorded the pieces I liked most and the Bunnymen were among the most programmed with their wonderful and melancholy "Ocean Rain".
I still love this band and the unique music of the 80's even now at 48.I remember my foster parent at the time saying you will grow out of that.Was he ever wrong,you never forget the music you listened to growing up.It remains a part of who you are.
+David Holcomb I am 48 as well. And I never grew out of it. I listened to alternative music before it was even called that. I flashback to record stores and going through each row and section while listening to Echo, The Cure, Joy Division, New Order, Depeche Mode and so many more that are in my vinyl collection.
+Mapogo606 I think it's more about being a really special time for music rather than the fact we were listening to it at a young age (I'm 50). I like 50s and up, but this is my favorite genre.
+Mapogo606 I am also 48 years old and I listen to 80's music everyday. I think it was the best musical decade. I still love to listen to New Order, Simple Minds, The Cure, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears etc etc and of course my all time favorite band Depeche Mode....
I feel so blessed to have been born 23/2/63 - true 80's teen/twenty-something... turning 17 in '80 just old enough to be on the British pub/club scene from start to finish of an epic era in music history! So many amazing bands - OMD, Echo & BM, Big Country, New Order, Smiths, Dep Mode etc. Incredible memories of my youth because of the marvellous glut of music laid on for us in the '80s. ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥

A song about Liverpool and all that sailed out of her, a damn fine tribute if I may say so. RIP to all my family members who sailed out of Liverpool with the merch. xxx
Echo@ The Bunnymen, in my humble opinon are definitly one of the best, most original, British band's that came out during the 80's! Great music, and interesting music videos makes it so easy to feel this way. I just consider myself lucky to know their music as well as I do!!!! Thankyou boys!!!!!!! sgl
2:11 is easily the best part of the song. Something about the melody and the way Ian sings just sounds heavenly to me and I honestly wish I could explain why.
A very Grand 63rd Birthday Ian Stephen McCulloch 5 May 1959 Liverpool UK.. E+BM created some fantastic songs in the 80"s.. Many, many more Ian Stephen.. Cheers mate.. 🎂🎂 Happy 64th.

One of the best songs of the early 80s. Ian is the best rock/pop vocalist of all times. Even the vídeo being a joke, the song touches the deepest of the sensibility. A bliss. Bless it.
Absolutely one of my favorite songs ever and a superb video to boot. Nothing even sounds close to Echo, not when I first heard them in the early 80's and not ever since. Lucky enough to see them live.
not underrated . . not as popular as they should have been . . maybe, one gets the feeling they did not really wish to be all that popular, but that is a different issue . . but not underrated. People who *know* music know just how good and important the Bunnymen were.
@@davidsiegfriedklinger2422 Definitely not underrated but I think a lot of fans and those who know good music always felt like they should have reached a U2 like stature. I have always extolled their greatness to friends. I remember telling a friend of mine in his mid 40s that I was going to see them a few years ago and he was like, ‘Who?’ I told him you know the band that does ‘Lips like Sugar.’
This was what I listened to at fifteen. Thirty five years ago. I still get it in my head, sometimes. Yep, and "The Cutter" was such a massive hit. I noticed the Star Club sign while they’re in Hamburg, a little wink to The Beatles.
What I always loved about the band is that each of the band had a different haircut style but each a classic of the time. We had the classic indie messy look, the floppy pre-madchester, the quiff and tidy college look.
Peter Louis Vincent de Freitas would have turned 61 ten days ago. 08/02/61 - 06/14/89 He was the drummer in Echo & the Bunnymen, and 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.
Thank you forever for your often surrealist and always sublime poetry, music and videos.Loved you from the 80s and was so lucky to see you live in Brighton back then💋
I clearly remember proudly sporting my best mullet, looking in all the second hand clothes shops down the lanes in Brighton looking for a long coat so I could be as cool as Ian McCulloch... such good times.
Wow, I can relate to so many of the comments and folks around my age! born in 1965, was a junior in 82 and Echo, U2, The Cure, Dep Mode, English Beat, New Order etc were absolutely amazing and transcend time!
My absolute favourite band, timeless music. I have his hairstyle, and i almost always wear my long black military coat, with rolled up black trousers, and brown loafers with no socks. Is anyone else keeping the Bunnymen look alive?
I may have been at some of the same shows! Saw them at the Wang in 87' , then they came over to the party I was at and Ian and I were doing blow all night sitting at this huge long table in the dining room while everyone else were partying harder in the other rooms. Up till 5am and then their manager showed up saying they better haul ass and get ready to fly to Montreal. They invited some of us to come ...and I chickened out but still an unforgettable show and night!
Amazing band, excellent music. I love the New Wave artists that came out of Great Britain in the late 1970s and early 80's. Echo & The Bunnymen represent that for me.
I'm hitting 63 and this era was excellent still as fresh in 2020 timeless music....God I miss the discotheque. ｡◕‿◕｡,......keep it lucky and enjoy your music
When I was a teenager in the 80's listening to new wave music I didn't get Echo and the Bunnymen. But now they are my favorite 80's band. You appreciate them with age.
What an evocative and nostalgic sound. Although the song is from the 80s, I remember sharing this video on my Facebook account 4 or 5 years ago, I wish I could turn back time to those gone happy days.
Was just jamming to 'Songs to Learn and Sing' in the car via CD...probably something most wouldn't understand anymore. BUT I know some of my other grew-up-in-the-80s peeps are out there who understand. Sounds like a slow song but still rules at loud volumes!
Well done guys at the Anfield concert last night. Local support act to the Rolling Stones. Great to see and hear this wonderful era of music and back in Liverpool 😁👌👍
@@gloriastroedecke2717 I absolutely love them! I can't believe I never heard them before and on radio either. Not even on radio 2 1980s programme. Why? They are so amazing.
I chose this for my dad's funeral song as it brings back great memories of him staying over while mum worked and we'd watch this video on a vhs of all Echo and the bunnymen music videos. They were his favourite band. Rest easy dad, love you.
I told my daughters I used to have a hairstyle just like his and they just laughed. It's a perfectly reasonable 1980's hairstyle. It's not like I got it permed or anything. Sheesh....
Do you have your senior high school picture as proof to show them?!! When I showed my children mine (Graduated '83), they could not believe it and laughed as well :) !
Always loved this song but hadn't seen the video and I was just admiring the pretty girl and imagining all sort's of thing's when off come's the wig and Pow! Now I can't get the "Crying Game" out of my head!
One of the best songs of the early 80s. Ian is the best rock/pop vocalist of all times. Even the vídeo being a joke, the song touches the deepest of the sensibility. A bliss. Bless it. (Antonio Bivar)
this band were one of my guilty secrets back in the day..........I had been a northern souler going to venues across the country and this band - along with Everything But The Girl - blew me away. Such talent and their music helped shape the person I became post-Wigan Casino. The early EBTG were brilliant and still one of my favourite albums ever is Eden.
Great song. Lots of memories of the family and friends out in the pub and then over to the pizza parlour. Off to work Monday morning after on the moped. Great times
Heard this 40 years ago (1984) when it came out that summer and just before I went to university up north in England. It will forever be a part of my life/memories😢
I'm 61 now and this great band are still one of my favourite bands of all time. I can always go back and listen to Echo and never tire of them.
SAME here
38 here, and always back to Echo. They're one of my favs, particularly Pete de Freitas' era.
@Matthew Aguirre Thank-you for the comment Matthew. Peace and love to you as well.

Stab a sorry heart
With your favorite finger
Paint the whole world blue
And stop your tears from stinging
Hear the cavemen singing
Good news they're bringing
Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell
A longing for
Some fresher feeling
Belonging
Or just forever kneeling
Where is the sense in stealing
Without the grace to be it
Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell
Burning my bridges
And smashing my mirrors
Turning to see if you're cowardly
Burning the witches with mother religious
You'll strike the matches and shower me
In water games
Washing the rocks below
Taught and tamed
In time with tear flow
Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell
Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise
Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell
Idk why but I thought he was saying “youll strike the matches and shower me in wool” 😂😅

What a fun genre. It needs to be revived in a major way.

I was post high school in the 80's.
if it weren't for gel and hair spray- no hair do.
Funny I was just thinking how much my hair-do back in the late 80's resembled the bass player's hair.
Wait... you looked like a PENGUIN?
This is such a cute video. 😍 I saw it back in the day but I forgot how cute it was.
Tempo bom quando ouvia esse disco,o melhor da banda o mais épico!
Absolutely brilliant
Astoundingly underrated
This song is strange... It reminds me of things I never lived. And I LOVE IT!
lol
The youtube music community are loving people , enjoy the music, there should be more of this love in the world!!
Always loved this song but hadn't seen the video and I was just admiring the pretty girl and imagining all sort's of thing's when off come's the wig and Pow! Now I can't get the "Crying Game" out of my head!
❤❤feel so lucky to remember this great group ❤❤❤❤
Mac looks attractive as a man and a woman. he’s a winner
Bi-winning! ❤
He’s a honey but it’s his voice and feeling that makes him a winner.
Will Sargeant did OK too.
Yeah cool as fook
One of the best songs of the early 80s. Ian is the best rock/pop vocalist of all times. Even the vídeo being a joke, the song touches the deepest of the sensibility. A bliss. Bless it. (Antonio Bivar)
Every time I hear this song I love it all over again.
this band were one of my guilty secrets back in the day..........I had been a northern souler going to venues across the country and this band - along with Everything But The Girl - blew me away. Such talent and their music helped shape the person I became post-Wigan Casino. The early EBTG were brilliant and still one of my favourite albums ever is Eden.
Quite simply outstanding so so talented London by birth millwall the grace of God x
80`s Music is, and always will be the greatest decade of all time..
This is yet another one of these recordings with lots of atmosphere. Great album🤓
Love it.
Swimming them so well
I was fortunate enough to see them 2 nights in a row in San Francisco. I immediately fell head over heels in love with lan. I miss those days!
Great song. Lots of memories of the family and friends out in the pub and then over to the pizza parlour. Off to work Monday morning after on the moped. Great times
Heard this 40 years ago (1984) when it came out that summer and just before I went to university up north in England. It will forever be a part of my life/memories😢
I love these gentlemen. Amazing mucicians and artists!
