    This was released in 87, Suicide blonde in 90.

  69. H.... V....

    Here they went unexpectedly funky

  70. M.... B....

    I love the bass!!! <3

  71. R.... ....

    Bass on this version is great. Les and Will made a unique guitar sound. Ocean Rain was for me their best but did like all their early ones.

  72. p.... ....

    Such a tune👌👌

  73. L.... P....

    Finally, I managed to find this

  74. T.... J....

    The grainy bw video is strong, but this isn't the best version of the song, in my opinion. This version is too fast and flat compared to the studio version that originally appeared on the EP and is still available. The studio recording of the song had a punchier, richer quality --more complex and fuller sound at a slower pace. Not the original single or live versions, which I consider inferior. Even the so-called "club mix" version of the song on that EP was excellent, though one of the band members said soon after the release that he thought that club mix was terrible; he was wrong. Ray Manzarek played keyboard on both versions as well.

    T.... J....

    Look for the old grey whistle performance version. Like it like that--stripped down with a bit atmospheric keyboard. Focus on Pete's drumming. Manzarek was just an unneeded layer. Got sick of hearing him with the Doors, I didn't want to hear with the Bunnymen.

  75. B.... P....

    recorded in a show in rio, maybe?

  76. c.... ....

    1:42 they could hang in that instrumental part 5 min at least

    c.... ....

    So right! Love the groove.

  77. r.... h....

    rumbles.....rumbles.....rumbles..........................rumbles..

    r.... h....

    Ohhh, yeah.

  78. b.... ....

    best. live show. ever.

    A.... S....

    Kangaroos and chipmonks....

    A.... S....

    What the fuck is he on? And on about?

  82. L.... F....

    His voice is so like Jim Morrison on this song. Love this band so much.

    L.... F....

    Linda Farrelly your right his voice sounds so much like Jim Morrison if you get a chance check out the CD or the L.P version of this song it really sound like the doors

    L.... F....

    it's ray manzarek from the doors playing keyboard on the recorded track. and yeh, if you dig the singer definitely check out morrison and the doors. this dude kinda rips him off actually...

    L.... F....

    Generalissimo X nice catch I hear it

    L.... F....

    i agree with you!

  83. N.... ....

    The album version is a bit better ... the bass and every track sounds somewhat stronger ...

  84. L.... G....

    muito bom....

  85. L.... G....

    REVERBERATION;

    C.... ....

    COZINHA PERFEITA;

    C.... ....

    Palmeiras Decacampeão!

  87. K.... R....

    what year did this song come out? thx

    K.... R....

    It was a 1985 B-side then they re-did it for the 1987 self-titled album and then released as a single in early 1988.

  88. K.... R....

    man, i am 15 and i cant believe no one my age knows this kind of stuff. What in the fuck is a Beyonce excrement, when you have the majesty of echo & the bunnymen. This is pure, this is life.... what a sad world we live in now; truly stop pro-creating...we dont want anyone coming into a world where a country is run by a fuckin clown pathetic and a child has to succumb his ears to the nasty trash on terrestrial radio. Beyonce, Swift, Beiber? That isn't music, its marketing automats to the mindless masses.

    K.... R....

    Kip R Kunkle so true!!!

    K.... R....

    Be my little boyfriend please hahaha

    K.... R....

    I'm 16, but you're just whining here, people will like different things to you, don't shit in their soup because of it though..

    K.... R....

    Kip R Kunkle keep listening to the good stuff

    K.... R....

    Great to know SOME youth have good ears! All those you mentioned, and JZ, Kanye, Rianna, especially Beyonce Boring ARE mass media marketing automats EXACTLY- same tiresome clone drones, rappers, yellers and screamers, yes, even Mariah Can't- Carry- a-Note anymore EVERY damn year...for what...about the last 10, 15 years or 3 decades now? The media promotes what THEY WANT you to hear, not what's really good talent. Wish we had underground or progressive alternative radio back the way it used to be before the conglomerates took over. We have indie radio (that helps to some extent- but they don't play THIS). It's weird how a band or a song can be critically quite popular and yet seemingly forgotten a few years later. I could spend all day saying, "What happened to... ?" But, at least we have YouTube to revisit and rediscover these gems.

  89. H.... +....

    Pete was one of a kind
    Rest in peace ♡

  90. S.... ....

    Echoes of Suicide Blonde (INXS).
