Such a haunting song, fittingly. My best band of my youthful days, the best days of my life. What memories all their albums gave me is phenomenal. Ever lasting impression. Flying down 👇.
The Bunnymen were simply incomparable. They will live forever because of their music - long after some of the hyped so called superbands are but a distant memory. I saw them many times in the early 80's and they moved me like no other band before or since. Pete*
This is truly amazing clip - thanks for posting. I too listen to them EVERYDAY and never get bored. They are a great band. No one sounds like the Bunnymen!
Beautiful song so charged of nostalgy. I now realize the images were filmed in Florence, (Italy) city centre: Ponte Vecchio, lungarni, Piazza de la Signoria...
My second ever gig was watching them in 1984.Caught them a few times later too. They rocked hard and loud and magnificently. With Pete at the side.Classic.
Specials thinks tonight for my Doggy Dog,my only friend in my world of Dreams,Love and Music,ZIMBO who was gone for Paradise for Eternity.My Dog ZIMBO never i forget you because you are always in my heart and in my mind forever and ever!!!!You are my sunshine in my night until the end of my days.See you soon in the stars of my life.You are like me,alone but ours angels are always with us.I Love You ZIMBO and i will cry all the night for you but rest in peace and one day i follow you and no more fear for you and me my Berger Allemand and nobody scared you and me.Since 5 years my life is bad without you because i'm still ill and now i have no more friends and my family don't understand me because all people are crazy,sure all crazy,but don't be afraid i will survive only for you in this cruel world just in memory of you ZIMBO my king of the DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is such an incredible song. So full of emotions. Straight from the heart. Listen carefully and you will feel the pain. Echo and The Bunnymen have made some fantastic songs. This song is the best they ever made.
Pete de freitas um espetacular baterista; com formação no jazz; que é muito dificil; por varios anos o melhor da cena ( baterista ) uma perca; as letras; sonoridade; que o echo põe é muitissimo marcante; pra mim....a maior de todos os tempos; pena ele ter ido cedo....e o Les Patinson ter saido😮😮......amo as musicas do Echo!
This live performance/recording is pure greatness. And the images here...thank you, from one who walked under these arches and over that bridge just the other day.
I can't remember if I've thanked you for posting this already. This is my favorite version of all I've heard. Live In Liverpool has some great performances. Thank you.
Flying And you know I'm not coming down You're trying But you know you must soon go down All my colours Turn to clouds All my colours Turn to cloud Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo What d'you say When your heart's in pieces How to play Those cards in sequence That box you gave me Burned nicely That box you gave me Burned nicely Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo Zimbo zimbo…
Seen this band soooo many times. Getting to some was a trauma - Cucccucumber, Caccccacacaccabage .. Fuck me (scuse the French) .. But Zimbo is my all time number one by this band. Last time I saw them was at the o2 In L'Pool when they did Ocean Rain .. Truly awesome. An enigma of a band.
all my colours turn to clouds is a wonderful line...whole piece is wonderful bunnymen...there are lots of comments about the nonsense sounds these days and sometimes you just have to agree that there was some truly great music around once...upon a time
I agree borgmeister....Saw these lads in concert in Norfolk,VA shortly after the release of 'Ocean Rain':superb!...One of the all-time tightest bands since the Velvets themselves.But there still is great music.You just have to rummage for it.
You know, I agree. I know who you mean by "superbands" and I don't have the same opinion, I think "they" had a lot of good songs too. But the Bunnymen were really something else and didn't get discovered the way they should.
My point is that some of the bands, according about what i know (i'm from Portugal) were an oportunirtuy to music industry as predators construct a fashion, a movement. Malcolm Mclaren knew that. The factory was pure, they don't even had contracts. But all most major labels were predators. And Who cares? Music it what remains. Echo was a great band, i still listen almost everyday.
That song! Echo and Bunnymen were the best group ever! Best than Joy Division and those mechandising from Manchester. That sold us a guy called New Order. Echo and the Bunnymen were the best band Ever! Political, coherent, and genious.
There is something really sad about this footage, even though it's just them on tour. Maybe because they're young, maybe it's because it's grainy, maybe it's the song with it, or maybe it's because Pete's in it but I can't help but feel sad when I watch it. I used to prefer the versions with the fast drumming but this is now my favourite version of this song.
Nice one dizzypuppy - I certainly meant no disrespect to any other band ( I'm a singer / songwriter myself and it's a cut throat business ) my angst is aimed at the money making moguls of the industry who are the ones who decide who the mainstream get to listen to - thank the lord for new technology which allows artists more freedom
This great version comes from 2001's concert in the LIPA which sadly, for obvious reasons, does not feature Pete de Freitas. Out of so many choices my favourite version is the Echo & The Burundimen version from WOMAD, available on the 4 disc "Crystal Days" collection. As for the video, this could be by any one of Anton Corbijn, Bill Butt or Jake Brockman. I think that it is related to some footage which appears on the old "Pictures on My Wall" vhs compilation.
Well in Europe, there are eggs made of chocolate marketed for kids that open up and have some sort of toy in them. They're usually made in Germany and called "Kinder Surprise". Hope that solves it for you. :-)
@onecatfromhell They have released new albums Last one was the fountain .....not like their old stuff but still really good! I have to agree with you though, I wish I could go back i time :-)

27 years, the life really isn't fair sometimes. God bless him.
A tribute to the late Pete De Freitas, RIP. An awesome drummer, and very nice person to boot.
Those shots of Pete at the beginning make me feel so old and make me cry so much. This is a wonderful song but mainly this clip makes me want to cry.
Such a haunting song, fittingly. My best band of my youthful days, the best days of my life. What memories all their albums gave me is phenomenal. Ever lasting impression. Flying down 👇.
Loved this comment. Exactly how I've felt all along listening to the Bunnymen.
Pete de Freitas = Beautiful and criminally underrated . RIP x
Haunting! Best video ever about the bunnymen. Perfect song, perfect images...
I still cannot believe there are not more people who think that this is the tune of their lifetime
I'm pretty sure there are many, many more than you think!
dustinzk I know. Mine is Threshold by DCD.
Probably one of the best songs ever.
our youth is gone but it was a great time to live....
Didier D love it
Didier D indeed
I think youth is over-rated...
Uok
One of the best song ever written
Never forget Pete!!!Respect from Thessaloniki Greece!!!
What an amazing version of an incredibly deep and beautiful song. RIP Pete.
gorgeous song...
The Bunnymen were simply incomparable.
They will live forever because of their music - long after some of the hyped so called superbands are but a distant memory.
I saw them many times in the early 80's and they moved me like no other band before or since.
Pete*
shivers down my spine... the drums and guitar are wonderful... beautiful.
"That box you gave me, it burned nicely."-Best lyric ever-
Loved it then. Old man now, still love it.
My tuxedo cat Zimbo always stops by when I’m listening to this song... He’s very special with such a strong name
Wtf my family also had a tuxedo cat called Zimbo!
Ethereal; elegiac; pure Echo.😢 Seems an eternity ago that this song was released; but is timeless and will echo down the ages.
Ero presente a quel concerto nel loggiato degli Uffizi 1981. Stupendo! Un ricordo indimenticabile di un avvenimento avvenuto a 100 metri da casa.
This is truly amazing clip - thanks for posting. I too listen to them EVERYDAY and never get bored. They are a great band. No one sounds like the Bunnymen!
Omg . Simply brilliant .not heard this song for decades but even better now
Hey. Im blown away
Saw them 3 times. Still beautiful music.
Mille fois écouté et toujours la même émotion. Une pépite qui scintille avec la même force depuis sa sortie. Forever ❤️
Beautiful song so charged of nostalgy. I now realize the images were filmed in Florence, (Italy) city centre: Ponte Vecchio, lungarni, Piazza de la Signoria...
RIP Pete. Taken from us on June 14 1989.
Beloved Pete
My second ever gig was watching them in 1984.Caught them a few times later too.
They rocked hard and loud and magnificently.
With Pete at the side.Classic.
This is one of my favourite tracks from the Bunnymen....Top band.
Powerful.
Almost a tribute to Pete...So sad.
My funeral song.......
Mine too and MY WAY Sidney Vicious.
Absolutely Brilliant.
do people really understand how influential this band is?

This so beautiful and Haunting that it brings me to tears
I Love this Song ... so much Jeanny!
This is such an incredible song.
So full of emotions. Straight from the heart.
Listen carefully and you will feel the pain.
Echo and The Bunnymen have made some fantastic songs.
This song is the best they ever made.
Beautiful! Moving!
by far the best version of Zimbo, for me.
Pete de freitas um espetacular baterista; com formação no jazz; que é muito dificil; por varios anos o melhor da cena ( baterista ) uma perca; as letras; sonoridade; que o echo põe é muitissimo marcante; pra mim....a maior de todos os tempos; pena ele ter ido cedo....e o Les Patinson ter saido😮😮......amo as musicas do Echo!
Oh Pete...so sad.

ricordi fantastici di una gioventù libera e spensierata
Seen this band soooo many times. Getting to some was a trauma - Cucccucumber, Caccccacacaccabage .. Fuck me (scuse the French) .. But Zimbo is my all time number one by this band. Last time I saw them was at the o2 In L'Pool when they did Ocean Rain .. Truly awesome. An enigma of a band.
On živi samnom u selu moj drug od zabavista legenda od čoveka
Completely blown away...fantastic
Really well constructed documenrary for the soundtrack. The editing is full of symbolism and is hauntingly sympathetic.
goosebumps
all my colours turn to clouds is a wonderful line...whole piece is wonderful bunnymen...there are lots of comments about the nonsense sounds these days and sometimes you just have to agree that there was some truly great music around once...upon a time
My favorite version of this song.And the video;well done!
Meravigliosa
It's heartbreaking,the video and the song.
Great version. Great vocal, impassioned.
These guys are the real deal!
Magical.
ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU CRY
eternal
Zimbo, zimbo,zimbo perfect song early eigthies. Oh give me back my love and time of my life.Better than the cure and the rest of the colours.
I agree borgmeister....Saw these lads in concert in Norfolk,VA shortly after the release of 'Ocean Rain':superb!...One of the all-time tightest bands since the Velvets themselves.But there still is great music.You just have to rummage for it.
R.I.P Pete de Freitas.
Dutch by descent
Happy 57th Ian x

Comme une envie de me remettre dans ce doux spleen qui accompagnait mes premiers envols .
what a song...
My point is that some of the bands, according about what i know (i'm from Portugal) were an oportunirtuy to music industry as predators construct a fashion, a movement.
Malcolm Mclaren knew that.
The factory was pure, they don't even had contracts.
But all most major labels were predators.
And Who cares?
Music it what remains.
Echo was a great band, i still listen almost everyday.
Perfect Pitch❤
RIP pete de fritas, incredible video.
That box you gave me.....
Burned nicely......
So zen moment!!
That song!
Echo and Bunnymen were the best group ever!
Best than Joy Division and those mechandising from Manchester. That sold us a guy called New Order.
Echo and the Bunnymen were the best band Ever!
Political, coherent, and genious.
wow!! love it so.....
Treasure!
wow. a joy division song i never heard before . . .
Hugh Jass my thoughts exactly xxx
You've never heard Atmosphere?
Piss off
Ah, the comments. Always full of people whose only 80s reference is Joy Division
que gran tema!!!!
There is something really sad about this footage, even though it's just them on tour. Maybe because they're young, maybe it's because it's grainy, maybe it's the song with it, or maybe it's because Pete's in it but I can't help but feel sad when I watch it.

I love the song too & it's hard to find.
Nice one dizzypuppy - I certainly meant no disrespect to any other band ( I'm a singer / songwriter myself and it's a cut throat business ) my angst is aimed at the money making moguls of the industry who are the ones who decide who the mainstream get to listen to - thank the lord for new technology which allows artists more freedom
Go on Will!
❤️❤️❤️

Descanse em paz, Pete de Freitas! 😢

- I named my beloved dog Zim-Zim after this song.

@JustCamus You are welcome!
@999Cinderwolf actually i think they owe us something: a comeback with new songs and not with the old ones!!!
