i was listening to a bunch of burnt cd's that i have lying around in my house this morning. i came across this song by Echo & The Bunnymen. this song sounds so old but it has all of the fucking elements that a song needs to have. i'm loving it right now. does anyone know when this song first came out?

if you like that song, you should check out the donnie darko soundtrack...

Killing Moon is definitely a gem. Have you heard the album its on.. i think its called "Ocean Blue". Great Album.
- LastOne0
actually i was never really into echo. i had only heard "lips like sugar"
but i think this is my girl's cd. that song is definitely a GEM. the fucking intro lures you the fuck in! its my new favorite song!ok, so its on Ocean Blue.

Ocean Rain, 1984

1984!?!
wow, this was way ahead of its time

LastOne,
You should listen to other bands of that time. joy Division, Stone Roses...etc. All very good stuff. Some of it darker than others.
- bananaboy0
ahead of its time indeed.
not sure if this is relevant, but Pavement does a pretty fantastic cover of Killing Moon on the Major Leagues EP.
- srvollmer0
hey bananboy, it's on the DVD as well. fabulous!
- bananaboy0
no way. is it live? haven't seen that yet.
- LastOne0
i saw that movie. that is probably why this song is so familiar.
i do listen to all of those bands. the stone roses are one of my favorites.
i'm listening to "love will tear us apart" right now.
but i'm about to play the killing moon again.this song is so fucking unique, i don't know if i'd like a cover, are you sure it's worth the download? haha
- bananaboy0
totally. i'm not a fan of covers. but this one sort of kicks some butt.
- srvollmer0
yep, it's live.
- LastOne0
BUMP

- paulrand0

WOW, this shows our age man, Killing Moon and Sugar Kisses are great songs, even that has some Arab touches in it too!
- LastOne0
def. man, that arab touch is what makes me love this song more.
i cant believe i hadn't paid better attention to this song. its so fuckng -musical- you know what i'm talking about? its a perfect song, lyrically and musically.
people just need to start making good music again.
