My favourite bunnymen song , absolutely a classic

[@Bighairyjoesph]

Superb drummer, Michael Lee, who died so young - also played with so many greats including Plant and Page.

[@melaniehiney7312]

one of the best songs ever made/written

[@Habu2]

Good taste Melanie....

[@GaryM67-71]

I agree, it's fantastic, despite being a slightly sad song.

[@roberthavercroft1992]

In 1997 this band sneaked past the hyped Britpop bands like Oasis and Blur, as well as the vacuous bluster of the Spice Girls, and gave us the best song of the year.

[@davidenglish4671]

Well ..... It does have Liam Gallagher on backing vocals on the single / album

[@janebraun4482]

Your opinion, or was it part of an official list?

[@megadave1197]

Liam sings on the record but get what you’re saying. To be fair Oasis and Blur were inspired by these guys so doubt it was a shock to them like it was you 😉

[@DavidJones-sc6jc]

At 54, and having lost my mom recently, that line “time is running out the door you’re running in. . .” Is so telling. Ian is brilliant.

One of the greatest songwriters ever,

[@kevinhyland5524]

First saw the Bunnymen at Liverpool Eric's in 78...Maccas voice still melts my Heart.

[@chestikov2011]

You said that last year ;P. I used to watch Teardrops rehearsing/playing in the Pyramid around that time but liked the Bunnies far more.

[@thestrictlynoparking]

Hi Kevin, I was in Liverpool from 1978 to 1981, what a great time and place for music. Eric’s, University, Star and Garter for lunch time sessions, even recall the Odd Spot for late night dance. It was also the time of the Stiff Tour - remember? 😀

[@kevinhyland5524]

Yes l saw the stiff tour in huddersfield.

[@Habu2]

Well jealous !.....78 !

[@ConorOcallaghan-v8v]

What can I say but just real music. Class.

[@xrpking]

The greatest funeral song ever xxx

[@stevenkelly8725]

The drumming is brilliant on this!

[@squireseven1937]

Everything is mate

[@johnfearon6115]

The late "Michael Lee"

[@davidr4523]

What a great song from one of the most underrated bands of the 1980's.

[@Habu2]

Yes David but I always thought that Ian wanted and accepted that. He wouldn't take any BS hence somewhat ignored by the promotion circus.

[@larrydavid6852]

I remember seeing this when it was first broadcast, liking it but also thinking that they looked like a veteran band.. Now I'm watching thinking how young bloody young Ian looks.

[@JohnSmith-tj6vz]

Haha age my friend.

[@nathanielmead]

Best band on the planet, still. Ian just has that presence - last iof the great rock stars. Will Sergeant must be the most underrated guitarist of all time, brilliant.

[@Habu2]

Mmm.....close call to Talking Heads and Steely Dan. Best British band maybe ?

[@markhamer7220]

Simply magnificent tune.

[@JohnSmith-tj6vz]

Brilliant. 30 June 2020 listening.

Quality group, quality song of a quality era. Ian heard oasis singing n said I can write a better song n here we have it.

[@weave5459]

Touching

[@circlekj]

What a top tune from one of the Uk's best bands... saw them perform this in the courtyard at cream in Liverpool for the album launch... simply stunning x

[@adeyt205]

Coolest band in history.

[@markhamer7220]

4 minutes of magic from The Bunneymen.

[@Shads5]

How did this pass me by? Came up randomly on my feed today and can’t stop listening to it

[@davewilliams7130]

Love this from start to finish 👍

[@mrjohnson3661]

Fragile poignant song, one of his best.

[@JoeyLevenson]

Good to see Les again, even though its 20 years ago.

[@ZeldaFitz]

It’s always best when Les is up there playing

[@robbflynn4325]

This guy's voice is incredible

[@squirrelbutler2119]

oh, no. No, it's totally not. I really like the song. But, no. No, his voice is not close to incredible. Not close Most bar singers could sing this as well, or better. But, still, a really good song

[@cindiarose2667]

Love 2 The Bunneymen ☝️🐰 Grateful 4 The 40 years of Luv ❤️💚 Songs 4 Ever!! This is amazingly Cool 4 a Survivor like Me!! Sounds I shall always cherish 🎵🌹🎬 #rocknrollgramma 🎭 Forever

[@yasminx16]

I just heard this song last week. I can’t believe this passed me by. It’s as beautiful as don’t look back in anger, bittersweet symphony, no surprises (maybe Tender can be there too?) - how is this not in the 90s cannon. It’s absolutely stunning. And what is it with Liverpool and amazing bands!!! Shack is another band that I think is criminally underrated.

[@albertardiscohn4900]

Im just beginning to get into echo and the bunny men

[@anomalees]

as a music nob head & twister, i'd recommend Ocean Rain on either LP or CD.

[@kyzor-sosay6087]

Albert ardis cohn check out Ian McCulloch’s solo stuff too........excellent!

[@rogeriomnunes]

I want it now I want it now Not the promises of what tomorrow brings I need to live in dreams today I'm tired of the song that sorrow sings And i want more than i can get Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget I'd walk to you through rings of fire And never let you know the way i feel Under skin is where i hide The love that always gets me on my knees And i want more than i can get Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget Nothing ever lasts forever Nothing ever lasts forever Nothing ever lasts forever Nothing ever lasts forever I want it now I want it now Don't tell me that my ship is coming in Nothing comes to those who wait Time's running out the door you're running in So, i want more than i can get Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget Nothing ever lasts forever Nothing ever lasts forever Nothing ever lasts forever Nothing ever lasts forever All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you

I've seen them twice once in Nottingham and once in Manchester.....both times he sang Ocean Rain at the end but each time all the pissed up clowns at the back were talking and shouting which drowned out such a beautiful song.....obviously the serious fans, (including me) go to the front but I hate tight crowds....what a band !
