All I wanted to do in the 80’s was get to the future. Now that I’m here, I just want to go back.
Yeah, but its too late now I'm afraid. There is still a future. What it will be the choice is ours.
So true.
Great comment, and probably a sentiment shared by many many millions. Back then all we worried about was mutual nuclear annihilation, which turned out to be a hyped up threat. Now it seems that innocence is so rare it's all but gone.
@Brendon Walker I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK MYSELF, BUT WITH WHAT I KNOW KNOW. CAN YOU IMAGINE? I LOVE SCIENCE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TRIP. I WOULD PLAY THE LOTTERY AND GIVE MONEY TO ALL KINDA OF CHARITIES. STOP AND GIVE MONEY TO THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HURTING. TO VETERANS JUST HAVE A BLAST HELPING PEOPLE.
We all wanted to grow up and have better technology... But now we wish we were kids... One thing about the 80s that nobody mentions thats different from now would be that in the 80s if you were a broke kid(like I was) life really sucked... These days lower class kids can afford all types of shit, youtube, video games they're never bored... In the 80s if you were broke you get nothing, the most boring life you could imagine, if you couldn't afford cable and video games you were really fucked in the 80s, it was more expensive and hard to make money with such low minimum wage, things have become more socialistic now with more govmnt programs to help, free phones etc...
Is anybody watching this in 2024?
Me!!
I've never stopped. From their very first show in SF to present
Word
❤
Yep, I used to have the cassette, just revealed my age haha
Thanks to Lisa Frankenstein, I’m here with yah.
I'm 60 and I'm going to see them live in Sept 2023 - decades after seeing them in 1986! Long live the Bunnymen!
Funny we just planned a trip to see them a couple hours ago, then I read this. I'm 45
Thats Awesome. Should be A Fun Night.
excited to see ya?ll there!
Where!

Take me back to the 80's and leave me there.
Back to the 1880s it is
@doosin8696 with current knowledge I could change the world, I don't want that responsibility. Take me back to the 1980's when I was able to enjoy a great decade.
The Romantics are at this level of musicianship.

His voice is amazing. He bounces back and forth between Bowie and Robert Smith. Bliss.
Oh my god you're right!!
Jim Morrison as well
@Superlungs Because he does Bowie better than Bowie?
@Superlungs Still crazy after all these years!
Yeeeeeeees spot on!!
There was a magic about this song and the decade of the 1980’s. Nothing has better since! I’m proud to be a part of that era.
Me, too. Among the American bands I am very impressed with The Romantics' "Talking in your sleep."
I'm 55 and nothing has compared to the late 70s and early 80s. Excellent music and cute girls. It was a great time to be a teenager.
Hi I recommend A Song Called 'Looking into the Mirror' By Robert Nix
cuter boys too
The best
53 here, we were so lucky 70s, 80s, and the 90s music. These poor people now
Especially the mid to late 80s and early 90s
I am 57 yes old and remember dancing to this song in my basement. MTV brought me into A world I never knew and I thrived !!! Born in the "60's" was to young for rocking the clubs in the "70's" but this...this was GOLD !!!! Praise the lords and ladies for my time !!!!!
When did this song come?
@@victorsilvester5459 Released about 1987 or so...
Im with u on that ill be 57 next month
@@victorsilvester5459 1987
totally agree.
When this song comes on the radio, it is my duty to notify everyone in traffic.
That is fucking rude and I would call the police and have you arrested for noise ordinance violation if I saw you.
You live in a place where this comes on the radio!?!?! Wow!
@@cellblocknine5385 hilarious!
@@magcarb5489
There's other radio than terrestrial. 🤷
@@magcarb5489 it’s called Sirius
The beat of the 80's will never be heard again I'm 52 years old and may the 80's music never die
60 here and still rockin' this and more
wes smith very true
Damm right. Nothing but good music, and grateful times
Same here
Well I'm here to tell you I'm 25 and still passing this music on. Love it
I’m an American and I was on assignment in Sydney, Australia from 2000-2002. I caught Echo as the opening act for The Furs in a tiny bar that couldn’t have held more than 150 people. It was a very cool and intimate show. About 30 minutes after The Furs closed, both bands came out and had several drinks with those of us that remained. I got to chat with them. It was a very rememberable night
Wow, pretty neat experience. I’d say
Wow oh wow!! Just saw the the Furs a few days ago, now Echo ATB is this Saturday, can't imagine both on stage! AND then after! Very cool!
o echo cow sh!t
I saw Echo and the Bunnymen with the Psychedelic Furs about 20 years ago at Mandalay Bay. That was such a fun show. What an interesting experience you had.
i remember they played The Metro in Sydney Aug 5 & 6 2001 in the city. The Metro had a tiny bar
Gotta say some of the best music in the 80's came out of the UK: echo, smiths, stranglers, Thompson twins, clash, pet shop boys, English beat, tears for fears, simple minds, police, cure, to name but a few
No arguments there (or over here).
XTC, The Housemartins, Yazoo, Modern English, Depeche Mode, Prefab Sprout, Duran Duran, Talk Talk, OMD, China Crisis, Fine Young Cannibals, General Public...and of course New Order.
American contributions to the 80's "alternative scene" 10,000 maniacs, Gary Myrick, R.E.M. Oingo Boingo... That's all I can think of. lol.
Keep on rolling... I never realized how many Great bands came from Britain until I was like ancient. But I love Ian Mcculloch.
Aztec Camera!
The 80s were a magical decade to grow up in. This has been said a million times on TH-cam, but it's just so damn true. If you lived it, you get it. If you didn't, maybe you can catch a small piece through the music.
+Infinite Shandy Not really I grew up in the 80's graduated in 88. Most of the music sucked, some was good like Peter Gabriel and a few others. But the great music came from the 60's and 70's.
Psychologitron The 60s and 70s had amazing music to be sure. I think our generation had a healthy respect for the music of our parents, unlike more current generations that seem to be largely disconnected from / disinterested in tradition. In the 80s, a surprising diversity of genres blended together to create a fun atmosphere.
Infinite Shandy Poison, Cinderlla etc etc...they just sucked. The whold galm thing was embarrasing.
Psychologitron Every decade has its crappy music. MTV facilitated the cheesier side of the 80s...and I wouldn't change a thing.
***** I always hated it, never seemed fab to me at all. I was and still am into Zeppelin, Floyd etc etc. Way better than Swisted Tister.
I feel so lucky to have grown up in the 80’s. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
We were definitely a lucky lot
@@cpapafunk : Yep! I just wish I could go back and do it over again....
Me too!!!!! 🙆🏻♀️🌟🍀
I say the same thing every day loved my 80s life!!
@@Milesco so so agree 1000%
65 YO, 2024 and Echo and the Bunnymen still kill it ❤
I'm 56 and I remember your band in 1984. Happy Birthday ! I'm very happy to see you tomorow in Paris. For ever !
I'm going back to the 80's who's coming with me?
I have a working Flux Capacitor. See you there
I'll Ride along too.
Prison ?
Im in!!!
The wonders of that decade will never be seen again.
One of the best songs ever. Long live the 80s.
This is a psychedelic song, thus deeply rooted on the Beatles' psychedelic period.
What a beautiful 1980s song. Doesn't get much better.
Lets remember the late drummer you see for Echo. Peter Louis Vincent de Freitas..
Performed on their first five albums..
Died in a motorcycle accident in 1989 at the age of 27.
So very sad.. But his drumming lives on..
80's music, the best era ever, this is a good example.
Too bad this type of music has almost disappeared it has A BEAUTIFUL sound And is Timeless.
+Eddie Miller It is too bad. Most of the music today sucks, I can't stand the radio I play digital or CD's.
+pagansforbreakfast I don't agree. Kids standards have dropped off immensely. Good music is still being made, but payola caters to kids now.
+pagansforbreakfast whoa that's ignorant
+Bob Lorek You nailed it. It's there but just harder to find.
Key word there... "Almost". There are a steady supply of NEW bands in recent years showcasing the 80's New Wave influences. Because IT IS indeed a "timeless" sound bands like Capital City, M83, Knox Hamilton, Crystal Castle's stunning "Not in Love" (featuring The Cure's Robert Smith) and Spandau Ballet-esque and unabashedly 80's NEW band St. Lucia "Walking on Broken Glass". There are plenty of 80's infused bands out there like Ok Go "Writings on the Wall", Coleman Hell "2 Heads", Joywave and of course everybody knows about The Killers and Neon Trees. While the greatest decade since the 50's may be over, I am thrilled to know that the 80's has branded itself on the these next gen bands. Suffice to say... the 80's will never die.
Melody, lyrics, chords, voice, combination of everything that makes the mind travel, desires emerge, life is reborn, dreams return, memories resurface. Perfect and rejuvenating!
I'm taking the 80s with me into the future..To live on the vibrations in from the infinite
This song still gets the Gen x kids dancing when this song comes on! A true 80"s classic!
Born in 79 thank GOD! I didn't get the party life of the eighties, but I sat in front of the TV and watched video after video on MTV...THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!
They have to be in any 80’s collection. Sound production vocals great! I won’t spend all day contemplating all their lyrics. Just good music
Saw 'em 3 times in the past. Including First Avenue in Minneapolis. Yup, was awesome. Loved it! Don't we all sing along?!
This was one of the greatest songs in the 80’s. Wish I can go back in time, the best music ever!
At 56 growing up with this music and likes of souxie , the cure , the smiths , killing joke , house Martin's etc ... ! I'm still a musician and am playing with a lot of younger guys and girls now who think their music is the bomb , sorry the eighties world wide created so many iconic acts that no one can hold a candle to even now !
Siouxsie
@Disband from youtube wait, what?
Preach !!!
@censortubenaut cringe
@censortubenaut very true
it brings me back to my 16's.. Born in 65, the 80's and all these bands were pure gold. I wouldn't change a second of my youth for another actually....
Hi I recommend A New 80's style indie rock Song Called 'Looking into the Mirror' By Robert Nix
Dude, I have actually said that so many times to people. I said, I will actually thank God for letting me live in that time era. Totally serious.
66 here, yeah
Absolutely man. Born in 67 and I loved being a kid in 70's with all of the freedom my parents gave me and a teen in the 80's with even more freedom. Couldn't have picked a better time to grow up. I wish I could go back and visit whenever I wanted to.
@@sweetrobertos I get you, bruh... totally agree !
Great band for the time period...just b4 the vid happened I had the privilege to take a few people to London England to see the bunnymen in concert....had a great time with my friends for 2 weeks.....doing it again with the same friends on oct 31 in Diest , Belgium for Sinners Day Festival...4th row center tickets n 2 weeks to party...lol...hope Belgium is nice...never been there but from wat I've been looking on Google it's looks like a fantastic place to visit...now that everything is basically back to normal it's time to start travelling again...I'm sure I can find some other great concerts or festivals somewhere to enjoy with great friends...stay safe people....peace
That rhythm riff is what carries this tune. Same goes for She Sells Sanctuary. It never leaves your head.
YES!!! The Cult were friggin awesome!
Watch the beginning of "Layer Cake" . . . First time, I jumped out of my seat😅! It's probably here . . .
Never again will music sound like 80's music. Awesome decade
yeah music essentialy started to die after the 80s some exeptions like the pale saints "insubstantial" any one who likes beautifull emotional music with that contrast of total euphoria and total despair will love that album its an absolute masterpeice they went downhill after that apart from the ep with kinki love on it . these days music total sucks i hate all of it apart from some of the new psychedelic bands like mars red sky esp arcadia.
The bass lines alone
Well actually there’s plenty of good synth pop and post-punk bands, you just gotta look a little harder
When we were young and beautiful and didn't know it.
I knew it😜🤗
I cruised up Main Street in Fort Worth Jamming to this yesterday. The windows were down and my Tundra was rockin! This 60-yr-old does not forget!
Neither does this 58 year old. I remember cruising Madison Ave. in Memphis back in 87. I drove a 65 black Cadillac hearse and me and my crew would blast this song. Good times.
Did you do the "car dance", and bob your head? I'm also 60 lol and I delight in the uptight, uncomfortable looks in the cars around me, as they refuse to make eye contact lol.
@@DavidWilliams-so2dy When I was about 5 or 6 (1965 or 6) my Mom and I came out of our house to find a black 58 or 9 Cadillac hearse, gleaming, with red velvet curtains in the back, and a framed pic of Bela Lugosi as Dracula in the back side window. I, who already loved the Munsters, the Addams Family, Creature Feature, Dark Shadows, etc. said, "Mom! Look at this cool car!! Can we wait and talk to the owner??" She looked terrified by the prospect of actually meeting whatever ghoul owned a thing like this, and said, "No! Get away from that thing and let's go!" "Awww Moooom... can we buy a hearse??" "NO!! NOW JUST COME WITH ME AND BE QUIET!!" :)
Amen brothers. Just turned 50...we lived it.
@@williamcornette The guy I got it from had a chrome skull on the shifter and I added a small skeleton from the rear view. It was a unique way around but awkward to navigate at times.
As others have noted, the experience of songs like "Lips like Sugar" etc. invoke deep-seated feelings of well-being and the desire to return to that epoch and re-live it all, increasing the fun, yields of feat, love , passion and much more 100-fold. I'm on the first flight back to the 80's. Who's with me?
Yeah, an opportunity to go back and do it all again exponentially better would suit me fine.
I'm with ya.
Lips💋Like💋Sugar💋 Amazing Beautiful Song! Thank you Echo and the Bunnymen❤
This song is one of my favorites by Echo & The Bunnymen, that guitar sound made me cry and Ian's way of dancing is totally eighties.
Thanks Liverpool for the all this musical myriad!
One of the best bands of the eighties! Fortunate to have lived in a great music decade
Same here.
That is jumping to conclusions. It is one of the best bands from the eighties and there was really good music. But it was also the age of Stock, Aitken and Waterman. Everything produced by them made me want to stick a pencil in my ears.
@@ErikJan4... really, pencil in the ear(?)! : )
@@sancho8521 Rick Ashley, Mel and Kim and so on. Yes, anything not to have to hear that.
No offense to anyone but the 80s music for me wasn't about Michael Jackson, it was about The Cure, U2, The Police, R.E.M and many others like Echo and the Bunnymen raising the bar. Eternally grateful for the greats. And lest we forget that grunge was born in the mid 80s....Soundgarden, Motherlovebone, Screaming Trees, Green River, Mudhoney, Malfunkshun, Ten Minute Warning, The Living, Alice in Chains, and especially Nirvana....

But Michael Jackson was a big part of the 80's music scene too. Michael Jackson! Come on. You have to respect his part in it. Michael, Prince, Madonna...and the many other music artist, such as the music artist you mentioned.
@@alfreddreamer9097 All due respect but (yes I agree that Prince was a genius and I had him in mind when I made my statement) Michael Jackson and Madonna were not musicians in my eyes--they were performers first and foremost, singers yes but their music was mostly made for them by others. At best they may have written some of their own lyrics or come to their producers with ideas. If you look at the Thriller album for example, that album was 70% Quincy Jones and songwriting legend Rod Temperton and a few other writers. Jackson brought the basic outilnes for Billie Jean and Beat it and Startin' Something and QJ did all the work. Add in cameos like Eddie Van Halen and a duet with McCartney and there ya go. QJ did the same thing with Off the Wall (1979),
Most of that album is him too, with only 3 songs "written" by Jackson. And in my eyes, Jackson fell apart after Thriller. All his albums thereafter were just "Bad" and pretty sad. Madonna at least wrote the lyrics to most of her songs and though she was incredibly popular in the 80s and 90s, popularity and pure talent are way different. I don't think your average MUSICIAN has a great deal of respect for her these days unless you're Cardi B or Beyoncé or at best Lady Gaga. So to sum it up, MJ and Madonna are caricatures of 80s pop, overblown throwaway jingles and filler. They and hairbands gave the 80s a "Bad" name. Especially Jackson, that sick little Peter Pan. Good riddance.
@@alfreddreamer9097 no ones talking about chart toppers
@@alfreddreamer9097 just cause your a chart topper dosnt mean it’s good music...pop in general sucks
The 80s was about all of these acts, MJ included. Whether you like it or not.
That guitar solo got me right in the gothic part of my heart i never new I had
Echo! You would just adore my big brother Mikey,,,check him out on my channel
the best poetry in the guise of a comment ever been gave to the internets...Thanx Erika. You make my day.
Gibson's Jazz Master ?
That Tone...
That part is my fave.....
Will Sergeants a guitar hero for 1980s Post-punk
What a song. I can’t stop listening to 80’s music. It’s the best.
This song was my and my doggo's road trip anthem. Summertime, head out the window, just us. RIP Blacky
Oh how can music produce such a visceral reaction? I feel pure joy, sadness, grief, love, nostalgia, all at the same time listening to this song. All of the elements - the instruments, production and Ian's voice combine to produce pure perfection. The lyrics, those chord progressions. Magical.
well said thats cos they were a shooting star band check my comment on blue blue ocean but this is definately the highlight of the album such a beautifull song
well said! couldn't agree more!
I am 65 and I absolutely still love this song, Viva Kroq
And 91..x..from san Diego and Tijuana México mex fest my glory days 1984.caliente racetrack 👽😱🍻🙏🤘🐔🌮🌮🌮
they have such an amazing sound from the guitar work to Ian's voice, it's special.
I can't speak for everyone or all of my friends, but this was one of my personal favorites of all times. I still have the CDs and even tapes of this music and listen to it from time to time, but the 80s, we listened to this group and especially this song all the time. What an amazing song and music it is. All of this brings back so many incredible memories. We saw them on the pier in NY back in a day and it was one of the most amazing things to hear this song live, outside and dance in the crowd of people with the same music passion.
What a voice!!! Thank you Bunnymen!
Lets remember the late drummer for Echo. Peter Louis Vincent de Freitas.. Performed on their first five albums.. Died in a motorcycle accident in 1989 at the age of 27. So very sad.. But his drumming lives on..
He would be 62 now like me.
Wow. Another “27.”
I was born in 1960, and this was my music. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. I highly recommend buying & reading Gene Simmons’ (yes, of KISS) book called simply “27.”
And read “Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon.”
@@reagonowmix As in Laurel Canyon? Sounds interesting.
I was quite upset when I heard of Pete's death. He was a great drummer and I was lucky enough to see him drum with this brilliant band. RIP Peter.
I turned 18 and graduated high school in 1980 right as the new wave sound burst onto the scene, Echo and the Bunnymen were just one of many bands that got me through my late teens and 20's. They are still very close to my heart today as I've collected all my favorites, including The Bunnymen, on my 80's playlists.
Let's just sit back and appreciate the special telent displayed here what a time to be alive
80's FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!
Echo & The Bunnymen have so many amazing tracks. Truly underrated in the pantheon of great 80s bands. Lips like sugar. The killing moon. Seven Seas. The Cutter. Bring on the dancing horses. Songs to the soundtrack of my life.
Great band. Great song. I miss the 80's.
Doing some late shopping at Walmart and this banger was playing.
Makes you wanna go find another shopper and start dancing in the chip isle.
She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
You'll flow down her river
She'll ask and you'll give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake
You'll flow down her river
But you'll never give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The King of Siam
And my Siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses
Mirror kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Had to copy it here again because the saint that put it here before is too far down the comments.
One of the most sexually honest songs ever made!!
Thanks
@@markthrasher6770 This song is about drugs dude...
@@marcus-oc3xi You are a complete nut… @mark Thrasher was spot on. You can’t be older than 30. It was definitely not about drugs!

The Psychedelic Furs
OMD
Simple Minds
A Flock of Seagulls
Thompson Twins
The Cure
Toto
When in Rome

and at my age, many of my friends dont even know who these all are. and it's so great when i play all of my favorite bands/songs bc they are all basically just amazed and shocked at what they are listening to.
i like ro think i was raised right

Excellent all around, but don't forget The Smiths & Talking Heads...

Asia....Verve....Bittersweet Symphony.....Echo .....Lips Like Sugar☺
Cynthia Y Dad deserves a Medal. :-)..the Furs were the definitive 80s band imo..but loved em all then. club life was the bomb then..
I bought this BRAND NEW on a cassette tape just after hearing this song on WXRT 93.1 so long ago I can't remember. I still have the cassette tape and it works very good. I laughing just thinking about it. I used to day dream of a Girl with Sugar Kisses. I'm over 64 , I will keep listening to this till my end of time. Enjoy People, ENJOY!
This song solidified itself as an 80’s anthem. Ian McCulloch kills it on vocals. So many great times partying to this song back in the day. 😎🤙🏾✌🏾
This song gets me very single time... No one like Echo & the Bunnymen!
Seen them in the Glasgow barrowland in 84 , brilliant concert what fantastic band , who o loved then
Chills every time I’ve heard this song, and I’m 62, loved every minute of this band!
Saw them last night at a gig in Bexhill - They looked & sounded great! Great '80's band!
Lucky duck!
My style of music from my generation (X), damn how I miss the 80's.
me too. I wanna go back to the 80's
me too
Same here!

Victor Castro same Gen-X
it was impossible for the 80s to produce anything but awesome music and movies......greatest time to be a teenager!!
One of the songs that defined the eighties music scene extremely well.
My uncle used to listen to them all the time. He got me hooked.
the 80's was the best decade this planet has ever seen, and i was lucky enough to grow up from a teenager to a young adult in those great days.
That's why i mis the 80's so bad.
Born in '71 so know exactly what you mean.
drumdust
Yeah life in common was so much better. i always complained when my grandfather of father talked about how things were better when they were young,
but now i'm saying the same thing and its true, because everything was better back in the days, and we see this europe going down the toilet bit by bit every day,
so it doesn't get better but worse instead. We are just modern slaves, so we aren't that better of than people who lived in the medieval ages.
Work and pay taxes or die under a bridge, and there's no other option. Well, we could move to canada in one of those plces where a happy few live on their own
and have nothing to do with goverments or paying taxes, but hen you hae to hunt your own food and stuf, but that ain't the life i want, so i better keep
on playing the tax slave here.
I totally agree with you on that.I'm so priviliged to have been a teenager in the 80's
Fantastic dreamy, inspirational awesome music
Born 1972.. Loved and miss the 80s.
80's absolutely were special times. Punk, new wave, alternative, beginnings of electro...so good. Listened to 99.1 WHFS, Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington. So good.
Listen to 92.3 here in New Jersey where they guarantee 2 minutes of commercials. Unlike other stations that goes beyond that time
2020 and miss this all the more! glad we can share the music online
KROQ Rock of the 80's here.
Loved Weasel!
Dont forget trash metal as well.
That voice, the hair. Why can't artists sing AND look like Ian? 80s rule forever.
Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure, The Smiths and the Stranglers What more music does anyone need.
Maybe the psychedelic furs?
The Butthole Surfers
Echo and the Bunnymen, one of the most underrated bands of the 1980's. Up there with Adam and the Ants, Sparks, DEVO, Midnight Oil, Pet Shop Boys, ABC, XTC, and The Cult.
Undies!
@@nomennudum5270Lol. Stealing that phrase 😆
And the Cure.
Give me Siouxsie, The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure and all the great 80's music over any of that manufactured crap they call music today... ❤ ❤
You and me both!
The The also...
Yep and don't forget Duran Duran, those first two albums are masterpieces.
Nothing like dancing to Blue Monday by New Order for 30 min straight....
Siouxsie _originals,_ yeah. Covers, not so much.
So excited to see them in 2024 in Charlotte, dreams are coming true
I was young in the 80s. This song makes me feel young again.
This band was underrated.
What can I say about this great track..... This is ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN at their peak! Will's guitar, Pete's drumming and Ian's Vocals are simply brilliant! How I miss this 1980's Liverpool sound!
William H. Baird and the bassist
Les was incredible!
Ian Cisneros here...just saying...woooo
"Ocean Rain" album was them at their peak.
The Fab Four from Liverpool ?
80's music is the best era. These classics are timeless!
So is 90s and early 2000s music as well tho
what a majical time. Everything was better than , music, movies people and the pureness of it all, tons of friends.
This music is still awesome.........in 2021!!!!!!!!

And 2022 what u think in we're not with / this is music/ real music 😎😎😎😎
2022.
And 2022! 😊
Still in 2022
This to me sounds like the 80's and everything I miss about them without getting overtly nostalgic. I ❤️ this song 🎵: the vibe from his voice, words and delivery.
What beautiful! The years 80 e 90 it, acho :cool!.
They still sound fresh. Their videos are on point too. I'm 37, too young to have really cared about them the first time around but old enough to feel I should have discovered their music sooner.
enjoy the brilliance!
Same here. Maybe it’s because 80’s music was all around us from 0-5 years old so it’s hardwired into our subconscious.
The 80's were awesome! To be a teen in the 80's was awesome... ...I know.
I knew then what I know now, and I would live my life over again if I could.
Crazy times, but I could do the 80'a again.
Can we go back to THOSE days?
I'm 35, and I lucked out that I grew up listening to a lot of these great bands: Echo & The Bunnymen, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Joy Division, Cruxshadows, Bauhaus - for a long time I didn't know the band names, I just was a little kid listening to cassette tapes having a grand time.
Yea Dude ! ! The early 80's, Post Punk era, NuWave music, baggy parachute pants with tight ankles, pointy shoes, skinny ties, crazy hair, MTV, 91X- San Diego, KROQ- LA, So-Cal, Max Headroom, Alpine car stereos. Anyone party at Baby Rock in Tijuana MX ? 😆 Late 70s - early 80s the best music ever, All of it was so awesome ! ! !
Some of my favs were the B52s, Yaz, Thompson Twins, Alphaville, A-Ha, Blondie, Pet Shop Boys, Billy Idol ! !, Trio, Echo and the Bunnymen, Devo, The Cars, New Order, Altered Images, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Bob Marly, The Specials, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Mad, Cyndi Lauper, UB40, Fine Young Cannibals, Sparks, OMD, Flock of Seagulls, etc, etc, etc, just Awesome ! THE BEST MUSIC EVER ! ! ! ( PS, 2020 SucKs ! ! !
+Matthew Sequoyah You´ve said it clear. A Fluck of Seagulls, OMD, Susters of Mercy, Shriekback, etc.
Matthew Sequoyah I listed a few too earlier in the Tweet, the 680 were my Teen years & there was so much fantastic music, why the 80’s has this “crap music” Decade handle is truly beyond me, but yeah the slaters were probably not even Born? ✌️😎
I wish I knew you then, would have hung out and clubbed and concerted.
The pants I remember fold pegging them. Lmao good memories! And creepers!
KROQ!!!!
little trivia.. the band was originally 3 members minus a drummer. they used a drum machine they nicknamed Echo and the three of them were the Bunnymen. Now you know the rest of the story.
Groovy man
Dear Mr Echo,
One of the greatest bands from a great decade. I was born in 1953, LOVED the 60's, HATED the 70's, and then all of a sudden there was great music again! Damn shame NONE of this stuff got played on American radio!
What did you not like about the 70s ???
@@StanwoodSpartans Pretty much 9/10th's of the stuff that has mistakenly been referred to as "classic rock" (biggest misnomer ever!) for the last 50 years or so. Bombastic arena bands of all shapes, sizes and varieties, "sensitive" singer=songwriters (with the exception of Joni, Van, and Nick Drake), country-rock, Barry Manilow, Olivia Newton John, disco, heavy metal wanking and misogyny (with the exception of the first bunch of Blue Oyster Cult records that were more high powered garage band rock than the "pointless guitar solos" h/m party all night variety of moronic excess). But what I LIKED about the 70's never even got a chance to be heard, particularly in the USA: Flamin' Groovies; Artful Dodger; Fairport Convention; Big Star; Blue Ash; New York Dolls; Brinsley Schwarz; Ducks Deluxe; Daddy Cool; Linda Lewis; Richard Thompson; Sandy Denny' Steeleye Span; and then the NY scene that gave birth to Blondie, the Ramones, Patti Smith, Television, and Talking Heads....more on request.
You listened to the wrong station
@@jayflynn2701 Didn't listen to ANY stations at all after around 1969 or so since I pretty much couldn't stand ANY of the "hits" in the post-"Sgt. Pepper" world of spurious socio-significance and was just waiting for something, anything, to rid the world of 70's "classic rock" which I consider to be the biggest misnomer in history. Hey, you might have heard some "new wave" in NYC or Cleveland or SF, but it damn sure wasn't being played in western NC where I was living!
Joy division,the clash, the jam, sex pistols,bob Marley,slade,the specials, madness,the beat,blondie, even rod Stewart was great then . echo comes the70's as do dexys.
These lyrics are super and his timbre powerful. Such a stunning band🎶❤️
One of the best bands and songs from the magical ‘80’s! So many memories tied to this one......
Tenho 57 anos. Vi o concerto ao vivo em Lisboa em 1982 no pavilhão do restelo.ainda tenho o bilhete como recordação. Eram apenas eles no palco sem nenhuma sofisticação e as músicas tocadas na perfeição simplesmente. Nos 80's praticamente todas as músicas eram obras de arte. Todos os dias surgia uma musica nova. Sentíamos um enorme entusiasmo e alegria de viver. Só tenho muito boas recordações desse tempo. Fui um felizardo por ter 15 anos em 1980.
"Great Iconic Video Right There! MTV 120 MINUTES!"
This is on the soundtrack at work and needless to say the volume is at max!
I loved the 80s music in Euphoria! More!
Hi I recommend taking a listen to a song called 'where I come from' By Robert Nix
I also came for euphoria! 😭💘✨
What a beautiful deep haunting voice echoing from the 80's. Beckoning me back to a wonderful time in music. So magical, it never fails to cast it's spell over me.
They would play this song at the end of a dance set at Nell's in NYC in the 80's. They would slow things down so people could rest but I would still be dancing. I have a dance background and I would take over the floor whenever they would play this song. Thank you for the memories Echo & the Bunnymen.
Miss this music
