Pete de Freitas wasn't just a drummer, he was a percussionist, instrumentalist and most of all, a talented musician. RIP

And once again, after listening to this band for over 40 years, the one word that comes to mind is WOW! Percussion, flawless; guitars, spectacular, bass, perfection; vocals and lyrics, fabulous! This band will NEVER be forgotten, at least where I'm concerned. Really hard to find anything today to come close. RIP Pete ♥️☮

I totally agree that this is one of the best songs by Echo and The Bunnymen, little known however perhaps that gives it a touch of being special, one of their songs that I most liked to dance at the New Wave parties in Lima- Peru

From the first time I heard them in ‘82, through my college years (especially!), my twenties, thirties, forties and now approaching my sixties (OMG), E&TB will always be my favorite band with a special place in my heart. This is one of my favorites of theirs.

Pete de Freitas was the heartbeat of early period Bunnymen. He was one hell of a drummer/percussionist, and is probably happily jamming away with other members of the 27 club (Hendrix, Cobain, Morrison, Joplin etc).

I have loved this song since the get go - it is such a beautifully realised album. As an Australian reviewer described it at the time; "A wonderful roller coaster ride with a beautiful coda". If you love Joni Mitchell , then my comment is completely understood.And my headstone will read, "In bluer skies". Bless ylu Ian & Joni.

I don't know how I didn't get exposure to them in the early 80s, I blame MTV for not playing their videos. They are amazing! So sorry I missed out until now.

MTV is how I discovered them, starting with "The Cutter" video. The weren't on heavy rotation, but definitely shown. Ultimately, you did discover this awesome band, and that's what really matters. 🙂

Are there any other bands that line up like the bunnymen with the drummer in the front with the group?
@vicsillnorth79704 жыл бұрын
Faint Sounds: They only did that occasionally though. Apparently it makes it a lot harder for the rest of a band to hear themselves playing/singing when the drummer is placed in line with them.
