'It's like fishing in a lake with leeches' is probably my favourite review of any song ever

[@craiger991gm]

This and "Lips like Sugar" are part of my lifes soundtrack. I will never not love these songs.

[@dennissullivan888]

Lips Like Sugar and U2's New Year's Day make me think about driving around San Francisco in my Volkswagen Rabbit with an ugly tape deck hanging dangerously close to the gear shift. I wish I listened to this song more then. I've heard it much more in recent decades. The Killing Moon is one of those songs that feels more 80's than just about any other song.

[@userex991]

Lips like Sugar is still one of 10 Best Songs list.

[@amberhoward7807]

I love Lips Like Sugar! Such a great track!

[@victorbortolussi2964]

The 2nd Best Band from Liverpool! Check out " The Cutter" or " Bed Bugs and Ballyhoo "!

[@ticosandoval]

@@victorbortolussi2964 The Cutter is one of my favorite's from E&TB

[@twilightgalaxy4659]

"Being in a creepy place, but also being chill with it" is 100% the vibe.

[@Thynqikan]

it is a beautifully crafted song. I have always loved it.

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

This is such a great song. If you want another song from the era, check out Love My Way by The Psychedelic Furs. It's in my opinion one of the best songs to come out of the 80's.

[@gagamba9198]

The Psychedelic Furs is good recommendation, though I like the songs President Gas and Sister Europe better. Two other great bands from the era are The Monochrome Set (check out Jet Set Junta and Eine Symphonie des Grauens) and The Chameleons (known in the States as The Chameleons UK), which I think is the most underrated band of the era.

[@dougdavis169]

Might as well throw in some inxs.

[@curtisthomas2670]

'I Melt With You' by Modern English

Still are, Meteorites was an amazing album. As was Siberia.

[@davidjames3080]

@@annother3350 The Cutter is superb. 'Couldn't cut the mustard . .' I also rate Never Stop, The Puppet, and Seven Seas above Bring on the Dancing Horses, but they are all good, the soundtrack of my youth. If you like Echo, maybe try The Icicle Works, The Teardrop Explodes/Julian Cope, The Mighty Wah/Pete Wylie, Then Jericho, The Jesus and Mary Chain.

[@mana3735]

ECHO?? haha You plum!!

[@alexhartman6144]

Honestly, Donnie Darko introduced me to a lot of great music as a young teenager. The Killing Moon, Love will tear us apart by Joy Division, Head over heals by Tears for Fears. And of course that great cover of Mad World :)

Do not forget The Church - under the milky way.

I'm glad they couldn't get the INXS song for the opening, I much preferred this song for those scenes.

[@sallybilzon3507]

@@reymontcantil199 Yeah, I agree to some extent. I began with Porcupine, then went back to the first two albums. Ocean Rain arrived after I’d got into the first three. My take is that those first four albums are the best of the band; Ocean Rain may well include their two most typical, yet accessible songs: Silver and Killing Moon and perhaps, Seven Seas. Whatever, I love them all.

[@benshafer5198]

I'm with Brad on this one. They definitely create a intense, suspenseful atmosphere. This track is a post-punk masterpiece IMO, and is pretty much held up as one of the best tracks in the genre. "Fate, up against your will," is such a great line. Interesting factoid: the chord progression is based on Bowie's Space Oddity played backwards. The song has been featured in movies and TV shows and has been covered by many bands; most recently Chvrches

[@chrissmith6022]

Pavement did the best cover

[@Sweep_The_Leg_Johnny]

Love the original, but also really enjoy Chvrches rendition. But then again, i'd listen to anything Lauren Mayberry sang & think it was sent from Heaven.

[@petrinafilip96]

Remember hearing this in Misfits and Donnie Darko and losing my shit.

I feel Lex was thrown off by the random photo (featuring the sea) used in the background, prompting her "fishing" narrative.

[@MrJakeMallard]

Says who?

[@brettkenschaft4239]

I see bands get called underrated all the time here. Now a whole decade? C'mon man.

[@CBGB_1977]

Only underrated in commercial music scenes. Thankfully, underground radio brought this masterpiece to those of us who did not care much for bubblegum top 40 stuff. Within the alternative music scene they’re huge! One of the best concerts I’ve been to. Echo w/ New Order.

[@Comrade_mommy]

Watch the movie Donnie Darko (absolute cult classic) & this song played at the begging of that movie gives it this melancholy but epic feel. It’s a great song period but it’s used so effectively in that movie (the whole soundtrack is used to incredible effect) that it takes it to a new lvl. Ads an emotional resonance. I love the 80’s goth era music. I wish it had lasted longer bc I feel like I’ve listened to most of the music from that era and I just want more. This song, Siouxie & the Banshees, The Church, The Smiths, they all elicit a vibe that’s hard to find in other music. I hate when I find music that I love that isn’t being made anymore.

[@bryanparenteau374]

Donnie Darko is one of my favorite movies to watch. I have the "Director's Cut " on DVD.

[@mournblade1066]

@@bryanparenteau374 I absolutely detest the director's cut. It changes too many of the songs (including "Killing Moon"). The only song they didn't replace but SHOULD have replaced was "Notorious" by Duran Duran, which was originally supposed to be "West End Girls" by the Pet Shop Boys.

[@Fedorevsky]

This song is one of the reasons I always watch the original cut of the film. There are numerous other reasons as well but yeah.

[@Comrade_mommy]

I didn’t watch the director’s cut bc I heard they changed the music & the og music is a huge part of the movie for me. It just works so well (tho I think west end grls would have been better then notorious during the dance scene, but I also don’t like notorious). I’ve been thinking about showing my kid Donnie Darko now that’s she old enough & I think she’ll love it. Although who knows. She’s more into animated shows then live action. When I 1st saw donnie Darko it was right after I’d 1st started dating her dad & we were baby sitting my big sisters baby. I’d put my niece to bed & we’d smoked a blunt outside & then watched it. (I was a terrible babysitter obvi.) But the movie totally mind fcked me. Yrs later I’d just randomly think of the movie & realize something I hadn’t thought of before. I was going to have my kid’s dad watch it but he doesn’t visit often & his visits are dominated by elden ring right now. So I think ill watch it with her.

[@mournblade1066]

@@Comrade_mommy To be honest, the director's cut uses the music the way the director originally intended it to be use. . . EXCEPT for "Notorious." It was originally supposed to be "West End Girls," but that was the ONLY one that wasn't change. Besides the music, the director's cut "dumbed down" the film, in my opinion. Donnie Darko is a textbook example of WHY an editor is so crucial to films, and why a "director's cut" is not necessarily a "better" cut. My point being this: Stick to the original theatrical cut. (But replace "Notorious" with "West End Girls." There's a video here on KZbin--or at least there used to be--showing that scene with "West End Girls," and it's so much better because of it.)

[@jollyj3285]

They are amazing....they have lots of great songs...Never Stop....The Cutter... Rescue...Seven Seas...great band!!

[@gavinburnett8818]

So glad you gave this a listen, Brad think you nailed it, dark, suspense, edgy with a melancholic chorus. One of my favourite tracks of all time and Will Sergeant’s guitar is 🔥.

[@_bats_]

Such a masterpiece of a song. The music and lyrics go together so perfectly and superbly catch this sort of dark, compulsive romanticism. It evokes images of werewolves, vampires, or even the devil himself. Giving in to these creatures and their seductions, or these entities themselves giving in to their impulses (perhaps violent?) in opposition to their romantic desires., and the mirror of these sorts of fantastical encounters in complicated human relationships. The ambiguity in the narrative makes it all the more compelling to me.

[@berniemargolis4288]

It evoked the same concepts for me, but ironically, Ian McCulloch meant it in a religious context: you can't choose when you die, but when the time comes, God gives you a chance to accept salvation before your life expires entirely.

[@selcukisik3544]

One of my fave bands as a teenager from the 80’s. Class act!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

One of my favorite post-punk bands! From Britain. So ahead of their time. And I think you both nailed it. To me, tension and suspense and danger nearby equals fishing in a lake with leeches, at once relaxing but you never know if something unsettling might happen. They're the same! They actually formed in the late 70s but Ocean Rain was the first album I heard by them and it came out when I was 22 in the early 80s. Everybody that I knew played it constantly. It was all over the college alt music charts. Everybody in my post punk band had a copy and we played it constantly. My drummer was so obsessed with it he figured out the drum parts for every song on the album, and this album is one of those where literally every song on it is pure gold. It's sometimes melancholy but it's so beautiful and melodic and sometimes carefree and it's so driving and his voice is unique. And the songs are all over the map in terms of tempo and feel and lyrics. They were one of the best. If you ever have a spare 35 minutes, just hop on KZbin and search for Echo & the Bunnymen Ocean Rain and just listen through the playlist; it's nine songs. And most of them are between 3 and 4 minutes. Silver, the opening track, is quite uplifting, and there are others, Yo Yo Man is a mix of really uplifting and kind of tense and unsettling. Nocturnal Me and Crown of Thorns are dark and disturbing, but really catchy. I like this one as well for something upbeat by them, Seven Seas. These songs can really get stuck in your head for sure. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXuYYqmHZbB_eMk

“The Killing Moon” opens the movie “Donnie Darko” a very underrated film. I loved it the first time seeing it. This movie stayed with me for days, even weeks after watching.

Underrated.

Quintessential song for encapsulating that classic melancholy 80's vibe. "Seven Seas" from this same album also a favorite of mine.

[@pica6888]

Echo and the Bunnymen formed in Liverpool in 1978. The original line-up was vocalist Ian McCulloch, guitarist Will Sergeant, and bassist Les Pattinson. Pete de Freitas joined as the drummer in 1980. The early band used a drum machine that many people speculated to be "Echo" but this was denied by the band. Sadly in 1989 drummer Pete de Freitas was killed in a motorcycle accident while on his way to band practice.

[@joesmith8725]

'80s alternative/Indie, new wave (darkwave)! Gothic rock/post-punk group. They are from the UK. I remember the video for this song gave a vampire vibe when I was a kid. Was only shown at night time, Cutting Edge show on MTV for alternative music. And 120 Minutes, similar show on MTV. And on college/underground/alternative radio stations. This group was during the late '70s, '80s and early '90s. Lex was right about the melancholy feel and Brad was right, too. Very atmospheric, ethereal music, too. If yall heard this song somewhere before, probably on Donnie Darko, lol. A movie made in the early 2000s, set in the '80s. Creepy movie, played lots of '80s new wave and alternative stuff on that movie. See more of Echo and The Bunnymen videos/songs "Heads Will Roll", "The Cutter", "Lips like Sugar", "Show of Strength", "Nothing Lasts Forever", " Bringing on the Dancing Horses", etc They were inspired by Velvet Underground (proto-punk group), Roxy Music, David Bowie, The Doors and others. Similar groups to them are Psychedelic Furs, Killing Joke, Sioxsee and the Banshees, The Smiths, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Clan of Xymox, Joy Division, The Cult (early stuff), The Church, The Chameleons, The The, Coldplay, Interpol, Arcade Fire, The Killers, Flaming Lips, Modern English, early U2 , and others. Yall need to do another new wave/post-punk stream.

Ian was also a fan of Leonard Cohen.

One of the best songs ever written. We know this because Ian McCulloch says so. He wrote it btw.

Aw, Lex is great. She’s a bit mad & seems like a lot of fun. You guys make a good team 👍

Another icon of the 80s is the queen of early goth... Siouxsie & The Banshees. Start with the hits: "Spellbound" and "Cities in Dust". You'll love her.

The most underrated rock band in history. By a mile. OMG, they are a treasure.

My favorite Echo tune. There was a time I had this album and the Cure's Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me on repeat. I really grooved on the darker side of the 80's. Check out Vitamin Z and Sisters Of Mercy too. ✌️

You really just had to be lucky enough to be in your teens when songs like this came out. Desperately awesome song and band!

Oh hell yeah, for us Goths out there, merry meets! Used to hear this track back in the day late late into the early mornings in cavernous dark clubs playing Bauhaus, Siousxie, Cure... good days :)

Never stop, the cutter or the back of love, all good.

I am always amazed at the way EATB can create songs that have so much dark tension, but with a tiny sliver of hopefulness. It’s why they are one of my very favorite bands of all time. The LP “Heaven Up Here” is a masterpiece. And I’d say they have about 30 songs altogether that are just perfect 10/10 songs in my book. No one lives in the crossroads of goth, new wave, glam rock & post-punk as well as Echo & The Bunnymen.

A great track from a great band. Sounds as fresh today as it did back in 1984 when it came out.

Lex is so right! It's a very chill song, but has a sense of danger within it. Idk why, but it's why I've always loved it so much!

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

She's so surprised he had a good idea. I absolutely love that young lady.

This band is so good.

This songs music is actually David Bowies "Space Oddity" played in reverse.
