It always reminds me of a girl i loved in university, ive never truly moved on from the heartbreak and the bittersweet way i feel every time i hear this.
I wasn't a huge fan of Echo in the 1980s, but now I listen to stuff from the 80s out of nostalgia rather than anything else. It's defo much better than modern music.
@@glenndouglas8822 I suspect the comment was more to do with the enduring longevity of its popularity, then the public’s immediate buying response on it’s original release. 😜
I became a fan because I was also fan of Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Pet Shop Boys, A-ha, U2, Journey, Sting, and Marshal Crenshaw back in the 80's. Thanks.
I admit it. This song fooled me. When I heard this song the first time, I thought it was a brand new song. Then the radio hosts said it's from 1984, and I almost fell of my chair. So I checked, and it's true. It is from 1984. This is truly timeless, and I'm sure it'll sound new in 10 years time, too.
+Jack Flippin ... Its a testament to how much GREAT GREAT music the 80s had to offer.. Iv"e heard this a zillion times but never tire of listening to it..... If you like this, im sure theres a ton of stuff you would like from the 80s.. really mind blowing music.. some stuff that even people who lived thru the 80s never heard before.. CHEERS!!
bronco devil .. If you have never heard this gem before, there's a good chance you missed a lot of 80s Great music. You might look into stuff by The Smiths, The Mighty Lemon Drops, The Lightening Seeds, Joy Division, The Wild Swans, The Desert Wolves, and The Jesus and Mary Chain... THEY'RE ALL GREAT BANDS WHO KIND OF FLEW UNDER THE RADAR for some people... The Smiths and Joy Division being rather more famous!! Cheers!!

@@RobertoRossi-k3o we are singing from the same hymn sheet. If I'm mistaken that track was from The Cures Head on the Door Album. That was realesed in 1985 never released as a single in o right, apparently on a B side on another tune. Shame as it just a great track . " On a night like this" an Alexa request when I'm washing up ( that's doing the dishes for Americans).
This song takes me back to the 80's what a classic. I recently heard this on show Billions and it made me think about where I am in my life. One of my favorites songs of all time.
I never heard this song until yesterday watching Donnie Darko and looked it up. I was 20 in 1984 when this song came out. Why wasn't it on the radio back then. It is awesome!
It was on the radio where I lived, in Utah. That's the first place I heard it, and fell in love with it as well as the group themselves. 😊 Edit: I was also 20 in 1984, turned it that July ❤
I listen this first time in 2001 on the Donnie Darko movie. That movie is so full of beautiful songs from post punk, new wave era. Many musician poets of goth music and new romantic music.
The movie is simply titled Donnie Darko. It tells of a very sensitive and introverted guy, also very smart. It is set in a small American town in the 80s, and Killing Moon plays right at the opening of the movie. Watch it, you can love that.
"Fate up AGAINST your will! He will wait until- you give yourself to him!" There is no escaping him, like everyone here, all we can do is cope with our mortal daylight until the killing moon comes.
It is a sentimental, sensual and poignant song at the same time, all with killer music. But what more do you want from a band of this type, if not war, the most total war! Echo and the Bunnymen, devastating!
My favourite song since childhood. I’ve forgotten it for years until I’ve watched 1899 on Netflix. And then I remembered this song very well. I love this song
You know, l grew up with this band but l never took much notice of this song until l heard it in the movie "Gia". At first l thought it might be Bryan Ferry but anyway, it fit the movie really well. ;)
+Crazy Uncle Mike ... YUP!!! Listeningi to RICHARD BLADE and POORMAN on KROQ in Los Angeles..on my way to Cal State NORTHRIDGE in 1986. What a GREAT TIME to be ALIVE!! Life was much better back then!! CHEERS!!
I grew up in LA but moved away in the 2000's. I checked most KROQ's top 500 countdown list and this song isn't on it! WTF? Even worse, there is only 1 Bunnymen song on the list and it's the Doors' cover People are Strange. That's a disgrace. How can LA music fans who grew up on KROQ forget the Bunnymen? When our generation is gone, will anyone remember Echo and the Bunnymen?
I grew up in the Valley & went to Monroe High School. My girlfriend & I parked my car in Petit Park at night & we're making out while listening to this song. I can't believe that was so long ago! Do you remember when the CSUN letters/sign on Zelzah & Nordhoff was more three dimensional & was very visible back in the 80's?
I remember this from the '80's when I was but a wee lass of teenage years. But the limited series, "1899" brought me here. I forgot how good this song is.
I remember when this first came out. It was very popular in the post punk and gay clubs in Miami. It was very cool when they would turn the fog machine on. Miami in the eighties was beyond epic. You kiddies nowadays don't have the first clue of how music really should be. Grab the Dr. Jump in the tardis and go straightway to the eighties.
True. Add The Smiths to that incredible eighties music. These bands were both incredible. There's just too many to write. I loved growing up in NYC in the 80's! Limelight, etc. Ridiculous.
You guys are so cute! I love that you fell off your chairs when you found out it's from 1984! You have great taste in music! 80s New Wave music has lots more where this came from, specifically England. RUclips the Echo & the Bunnymen interview. A great band that no one remembers. To me it's a vampire story.
Under blue moon, I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms, too late to beg you Or cancel it, though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him In starlit nights, I saw you So cruelly, you kissed me Your lips, a magic world Your sky, all hung with jewels The killing moon Will come too soon Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Under blue moon, I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms, too late to beg you Or cancel it, though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him You give yourself to him La La, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him You give yourself to him La, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him La, la, la, la La, la, la, la
It always reminds me of a girl i loved in university, ive never truly moved on from the heartbreak and the bittersweet way i feel every time i hear this.
This song is pretty much all I listen nowadays. Masterpiece.

One of the most underrated songs in the 80's. Great tune. Thanks for posting
How can it be underrated when the tune was massive on release. Don't think you understand the concept of underrated.

...and Echo stood out in their sombre ways
@christdragon yes! Many great bands came out of the British 80s New Wave decade! Don't forget Gary Numan, Mr. Dark himself!

I love Echo & The Bunnymen. They are simply amazing!!!
This song may have the best lyrics ever written. A poetic masterpiece. An example of what the word music means
You`d never think this is 32 years old.
on the contrary, something this good can only be 32 yrs old :)
@@treintaydiez This song is 37 years old now and I agree that a song this good would have to be from several decades ago.
It's 40 years old now, and is still as beautiful as it always was

The songs about not having the nerve to ask the girl out that you think is the woman of your dreams.
OMG!!!! ... what can I say, above all, Bowie, Pink Floyd .... NOTHING COMPARES TO THESE GUYS 💕 They own the 80’s.... Love every song 🤩
Unfortunately, I did not know this song before today, but I really loved it and it instantly became my favorite song.
One of the most underrated songs I've ever heard. A masterpeice😗👌
Saw the bunnymen in Bristol back in the 80s. Very good live, one of the best concerts I’ve seen!
Masterpiece.
This song is... magic, mystical, trascendent... like the life; like the death.. everything at the same time!!!
the instrumental part at the start is perfect
This is so hypnotic! I pair it with their Lips Like Sugar for some feel good moments.
im 52 years old and still listening to this song
I just turned 60 and still listen to it, it's always been beautiful
I don't know why i get shivers down my spine everytime i hear this Better times Happier times Easier times ❤❤
The most perfect rainy day song. Get cozy and love somebody.❤
What a song!
what a band!
Donnie Darko did not bring me here, I am a hundred and twelve with impeccable taste in music!
going to see the bunnymen bring me here
Donnie Darko did NOT bring me here either .... Cross my heart 💓

Soooooooo freaking beautiful ♥️♥️♥️🙏
grew up in simi valley, loved KROQ, was stationed at camp pendleton 91X was great there. good tunes, great memories😃
Driving through the desert as the sun sets/twilight is what I think of or the image that popped into my head the first time I listened to this song.

Album: Ocean Rain
[Verse 1]
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms too late to beg you
Or cancel it though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
[Chorus]
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
[Verse 2]
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
[Chorus]
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
