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..
Sottovalutati? Ma se sono una delle più note band post punk! Ce ne sono di sottovalutate, e non sono certo loro.
Ed io li adoro ancora
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.
I think Italy is the most underated country.... but agree Echo is 2nd.
Thanks for sharing love it!
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.
And The Cure :-)
@@jayhickman1854 Yes Jay, another great band from this great era of music.
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. ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Wonderful times same age as me seen all the groups live happy days London by birth Millwall the grace of God x 🙏
And look what we have to enjoy now lol. We were very lucky but unfortunately getting old ❤
@@grahamcheesman2252 so very true my friend time and tide waits for no man
@@grantpetersen1049 unfortunately not
@kyfaydfsoab what?
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".
❤
In the 80's we had such style! The men were fashionably dressed and gorgeous. I miss that decade!
Yes we were! Now I look in the mirror and ask myself "what the hell happened?"
@@usnchief1339 😂😂😂😂.....siamo semplicemente invecchiati fisicamente ma lo spirito e' identico
I am still a gentleman just older
The men were so much better dressed than the women. So easy to fall in love with!
I'm 70 now, loved Echo and the Bunnymen then, bought a CD, forgot about them a bit.
Came back to their music recently, I just love it. Again!
One of the greatest bands of the era...miss the 1980s.
Ocean Rain was one hell of an album.
Brilliant tune
👍
Brilliant
Oh yeah
The best, every song.
One of those rarities.
Hell Yea!
Music is the most amazing thing in the world... and I love this song.
Its amazing isn't it!
+SimpleSencilla I agree with you... Nice profile pic btw : )
+SimpleSencilla ADSOLUTELY!
take care
you mean MUSIC ... not last decade itunes merchandise
Love this. The 80s new wave goth stuff was the best. Echo, Souxsie and the Banshees, the Cure, Joy Division/New Order, The Smiths... Depeche Mode
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.
@@kevanbrown7620 i m 59 and i Remember very well the 80's.....the pubs, music, beer and sigarettes
@@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. 👍🍺🍻🚬🎵🎶
@@kevanbrown7620 It was the same in Italy in the '80.....
@@antoniobruno5194 Such a great time in the 80s across Europe. Great to hear it was same in Italy. We had a great time back then man. 👍😊
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 Absolutely. I still listen to this music, although much has been added since.
+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 exactly well said..80,s are my musical decade....love them
+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....
Very talented band who sadly didn't get the true recognition they deserved.
I mostly know them from Donnie darko but porcupine, ocean rain? And self titled echo and the bunny men are great albums!!!
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
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
What a great song, brings back some great memories from the 80's
How were there any great memories from the 1980s?
That guitar intro... the ultra light bass treatment, that voice, those drums :)
The melody that Ian sings over just one chord is stellar.
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. William Alfred Sergeant - Guitarist for Echo.. Born 12 April 1958 in Liverpool. Thank you for the musical life long memories. Your guitar sounds defined the E+Bm legacy.. Cheers Mate..
honestly I'm not from the eighties but its pretty much all I listen to. quite frankly the best era
I agree 100%. I was born in 88 and really do enjoy all kinds of music.... but the 80's was the best.
Xxlovekills4xX you are so right
I was a teenager in the 80's. Big hair. Lots of hairspray. Best songs ever.
it was a great era, lots of good bands, seen the bunnymen 3 or 4 times, early in the career, just after the release of crocodiles
Xxlovekills4xX same
Ian really had classy moves which by the way, were heavily Duplicated by Courtney. Love.
"Hear the cavemen singin' good news they're bringin"
I will always love this band, completely underrated
Brilliant tune 🤠
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.
Such a great tune now as it was then in 1984-one of their best for sure too thank you?!
I'm 51 years old. A teen of the 80's. I love this group.
Right there w you
Same here
Same here
Nostalgia is sweet and devastating
it must have been great.. back when everyone had great taste in music!
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.
The music of Echo and the bunny men will be forever played. Love their sound. Brilliant
A fantastic song by a mega band. I play this everyday.
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” 😂😅
IM SO SO SO NOT UNDERSTANDING ; SOME OF THE LYRICS ..THEY R.VERY VERY COMPLEX & DEEP YET SO BEAUTIFULL. .. WHAT DOES " STAB A SORRY HEART WITH UR FAVORITE FINGER" WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT EVEN MEAN ?
Thanks 4 sharing
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.
Most underrated band ever! Just turned 61, where has the time gone!
Yes
Who underrates them?
No-one I know!
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.
Definitely not underrated ( not in my books)
@@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.
Saw these guys in 1987. God I loved the 80's!
Brilliant
Echo and the Bunnymen great post-punk, neo-psyhadelic band
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.
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.
Your Dad loves ya,,,,,,,, great band back in the days.
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.
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!
He's so damn pretty.
Mandela Effect. There's never been 7 seas. Only 4. Where are the other 3?
@@michaelcharlesthearchangel no Mandela. 1. the Arctic 2. North Atlantic 3. South Atlantic 4. North Pacific 5. South Pacific 6. Indian Ocean 7. Southern Ocean
@@witchflowers6942 Ha! I'm rubbish at geography too buuuuut, I have heard of: The Mediterranean Sea, a Black Sea and a Red one. I mean they might not be SEA seas, just big ponds, but I AM thick as two short planks.
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?
Unfortunately not keeping up the look but like you love EATB and Ian McCulloch
Doin me best luv God bless ya
Thats so cool 😄
I’m 57 and I’ve seen them 5 plus times and Ian solo and they have always been fabulous. Going tonight in Boston.
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!
First band I saw live in 1981 when I was 16 years old. Blew me away !!!
Absolutely class seen them a few times
Always loved and still love Echo! Since I got my "Songs to learn and sing" album, yes, I'm was an 80's kid!
great 80s music fabulous Echo and the bunnymen!!! blast from the past
Still possibly my favorite album of all time.
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.
It was a stunning burst of British creativity. So glad I was around for it.
This is the band that made alternative music my favorite. Loved these guys since 83.
Amen.
The cutter
My favourite song from this great band from Liverpool. Great music. Favourite CD. Porcupine 1983. Everlasting music.😁😊😂
I was a Brazilian adolescent that always in the afternoon stayed listening to rock bands on the radio. Lovely times ! Echo , REM , U2, Simple Minds , Smiths etc... The sound of a generation.
The Best Rock Comes from the UK..
for real, from talking heads to The Smiths to the killers!
Agreed!!! Although I never specifically have sought out Brit music it always finds me
@@spaceinbetween6591 Oh! Talking Heads are from NY, dude.
I totally, absolutely agree with you.
Zeppelin, Floyd, Beattles, New order, ect.. ect... for sure
I used to love this band when I was alive and nothing has changed that I still like them in death.
You should listen to them being reincarnated. Whoa.
I know what you mean.
X2
I remember sitting alone on top of a mountain overlooking Oban in about 1988 listening to Echo and the Bunnymen on my Walkman. Bliss.
This song is strange... It reminds me of things I never lived. And I LOVE IT!
lol
I adore Echo & the Bunnymen... I listen to this band every single day!! Funny though
... I find it difficult (almost painfully sad) to watch bands from this era as they look today... Depeche Mode..The Cure.. Tears for Fears ..
New Order ..even funnier: I'm basically the same age as they are now!! hahaha..
Thank you RUclips for capturing such a beautiful, wonderful place in Time, and freezing it 4ever.. .
.now, if you could only make me be 23 years old again .... LOL.... ❤😂😂🎶🎸
Wish I was 14 again!
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.
That makes two of us. As we get older we appreciate much more than we did when we were younger
What a awesome voice Mac had, he’s still great. The Happy Goth 🖤☠️🖤
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
The soundtrack of my 1980s. Time goes by so fast.
Always one of my favorite Echo songs, and Ian's Mick Jagger isn't bad
Many songs and videos during those early years of MTV and I remember this song as both unique and exceptional.
This song always makes me happy.
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💋
What a fun genre. It needs to be revived in a major way.
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.
I love Echo and the Bunnymen. So underrated.
check out all of ocean rain, it's great. other bands to check out: the chameleons (script of the bridge), cocteau twins (treasure), the go-betweens (16 lovers lane), the church (heyday). you'll thank me later.
thatoneguynamedharrison thanks for your reply. I have all those that you mentioned, except for the Go-Betweens. That will be my next project 😻
The Icicle Works and Ian Mcnabb's solo stuff too.
Brilliant
They're not underrated! What are you talking about??
Kings of the intro...amazing band
One of the best albums of the 80s... A pop treasure from a great band
One of the greatest songs and Ocean Rain one of the greatest records of all time for sure. Love you Ian!
I never get tired of this film clip, or the bunnymen.
Class song but class group
Unique. Incredible. Joyous.
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.
The Bunnymen + The Genius of Anton Corbijn = Video Masterpiece
40 years of magical music (:
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)
What a magnificent song
Very sane.
This song is a classic.
About healing, it is curative not destructive, definitely not harmful.
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!
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!
Had it on cassette in high School. Wore it out in my car
The voice of a hero.
Whoot! Going to their concert in August 2015 in San Diego! Last saw them in Irvine meadows in 84'
OH YESSSS!
Simply a top quality tune.
Only discovered this band recently. Can't believe they are not played more on the radio. So underrated.
Dean Harris You do realize they come from Ancient times-the 1980's? I am so glad you enjoy them. It appears you have good taste.
@@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.
Dean Harris If you haven't already seen/heard these may I suggest , "The Killing Moon", "Lips Like Sugar" and "Bring on theDancing Horses"
@@gloriastroedecke2717 on your recommendation I am going to listen to them tonight. Thank you. X
In the 80’s the bunnymen were better than U2 but U2 had better management. From Bonos mouth.
Echo and the bunnymen. seven seas. my favourite song from them and the second best band from Liverpool. the Beatles being the best ever.
Saw them at the Kaiser Pavilion in Oakland several times. Always awesome.
Quite simply outstanding so so talented London by birth millwall the grace of God x
so lucky to have been a teenager in the best era of music. so much variety. unlike today
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 😁👌👍
"Burning my bridges and smashing my mirrors, turning to see if you're cowardly. Burning the witches with mother religious, you strike the matches and shower me in war." What beautiful poetry. I love this band so freaking much.
... Shower me in water games "
Still brilliant.
@@stuarthossack5351 I don't know why it sounded like War to me. After I looked up the lyrics I was kinda bummed lol.
@@coryrobert7305 I think I just said so because I too thought it was war but I recently did I version of it and found he adds 'ter' after it. For about 30 years I thought it was war. 😅
Kissing the tortoise shell, where in the world are you going to hear that lyric again? Brilliant song from a brilliant band.
Brilliant 80s tune from the 2nd best band from Liverpool
The youtube music community are loving people , enjoy the music, there should be more of this love in the world!!
Every time I hear this song I love it all over again.
80`s Music is, and always will be the greatest decade of all time..
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😢
Quite simply outstanding God I miss the 80s London by birth millwall the grace of God 😎
Soooo English from the 80´s
Great music
Remember going off to the navy with a cassette with `The Cutter` as one of my songs
the 80s had some great music
Mm v lm ln lb ijuu
Hasan Bal yeah? you dont say
I think he did.
he did ,,,,,dont know what he said ,,,,,but he said it
And great hair!!!
this is bonkers. acid, man. and very Beatley. wow. love it.
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!
Oh man, I want to go back and do it all over again....
I hear ya, brother.
