One of the greatest and most underrated song writers of all time.

My good friend that I've known since school, died a few days ago, I asked him to send me a sign, when driving with the radio on. This song came on and I knew. We loved these from school in the 80s and this song means so much more than ever to me now. Echo and the bunny men always had a strong nostalgia for me, I'm booking to see them now In March. Brilliant. I'd forgot how ace they are and how much I loved them ❤

Was played at brothers funeral amazing song always makes me remember my brother and the good times I had with him always taken to soon

Why is there today no such fantastic music anymore? Like in the 70s, 80s and 90s with so many totally different bands and styles . It still is so fresh. A very very underrated band.

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 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 All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you

My dad would have been 61 tomoz. This song was not his favourite or any special meenjng to him but it reminds me of a day that sticks in my memory., we were on our way fishing, nothing special, nothing amazing but it sticks in my mind and always pops up in mg head more than any other memory does of us being together. I dont do emotional posts on any kind of social network or in any part of my life. I've bottled so much and never properly grieved his death, on here nobody knows who I am. And this feels like a little bit of a release. Here's to the greatest, strongest and kindest blokes I've ever known. Love you always dad. Happy birthday.xxx Would just like to thank you all gor the kind words.x

90d indie pop people,you’ll never hear songs this good again in your life...literally the best of times.

one of the best singles of all time ...the emotion is like a million souls singing...amazing power

Brilliant song. As a northerner i love this and you should love it wherever you're from.

Liam Gallagher on backing vox🔥 Those strings are just gorgeous. What a beautiful song.

My goodnesss...Ian's voice is unmatched...this song makes my badass cry just thinking of my people and loves which are gone❤

Oh Ian. You are so wonderful. Your songs have given so many people such joy!

They really touch my soul, to tears ....they are part of my life.....beautiful, ethereal, magical, timeless songs by this unique, amazing band....I just love them.

One of the greatest songs of all time

Lovely thought-provoking song from Echo and the Bunnymen.

He’s never really gone mate, when you have the memories.

Nothing Last Forever and Velvet Morning are the greatest songs of the last 30 years IMHO. Timeless.

Just when you thought they faded away, they came roaring back with another beautiful timeless track. Undiluted by over production and heightened by Liam’s soaring backing vocals...this goes into my Echo Heart Box of timeless treasures. Inside, there are many.

Lost the love ❤️ of my life recently. This most beautiful song , puts almost everything in place. Love you so much Rebecca 💗

Damn, I'm tired, mind and body. I can feel every word.

I have loved this song for years and have only just today discovered that Liam Gallagher sings backing vocals on it. And just when i thought it couldn’t have possibly got any better it did. 😊 Gorgeous song. Lovely Ian.

Les,Will & Ian, it’s only the Bunnymen when it’s them 3. RIP Pete.

Saw them in Edmonton 2017. Great concert in front row! He chain smoked the whole time. I had older brothers who got me into Echo, and I look really young for my age, so I think they were suprised to see this young guy front row singing along knowing all the words.

You're a ray of silver in my darkness

sitting here listening to echo and the bunnymen. best band by miles

This song came out in July 1997, just as I graduated from university. It really summed up how I felt at the end of what was a great time.

Man, I forgot all about these guys! A single from probably the greatest year Alternative rock ever had.

Yes! Brilliant song. Thanks for posting

This is one. Of the best tracks ever.

What a bleeding heartbreaker,. Fantastic

My musical Tastes in the 1980s through the 90s was like like I was in a COMA Missing all this great music Too stuck on being such A METAL HEAD! Listening to these bands is like discovering an entirely new world. Great Music this Band was ahead of their time!

And the reason that this has got 75 thousand hits (as at 7/7/2020) and not 7.5 million is because...the quality of the audio is absolutely shocking. Sort it. It is a GREAT song. Thank you.

Thank you such a beautiful song I lost two sons this reminds me how much I love them

another peach of a song, effing brilliant 💪

This was a great comeback track for them

A timeless classic!

Nothing ever lasts forever, you get to 50 and understand your ship is coming in, it's coming soon and there is no way back ❗

Playing this songs is almost 36x a day Im addiction with the bunnymen so much I love you guys😍

I love this so much. Thank you Ian. This will live forever.

When I heard this in my teens, I was never the same. I always give more than I get, but it never stops me from giving as a hyperempath.

The memories,,.take me back to the 90's..:)

One of my favourite Bunnymen songs.

i always quote this song when talking about life and happy times.

When you are 20, you think it will last forever,but then you get older and learn that it's all just transitory and short lived.☹️❓❗

Beautiful ❤

Great song fantastic lyrics ,makes you think ,brilliant

Unbelievably great comeback song, what lyrics! Filmed surely in Marrakech and in Morocco. Couldn't believe my ears back in '97 when I heard it, all their wisdom distilled into a new and fresh sound, what a great era for music

This is amazing ! We really like your stuff ! 🔥🙌🏽🔥

This song is so good, I've got the video on a loop and am so addicted to it, I'll be taking it to its millionth view.

Love this song memories ❤️

I'll have this played at my funeral hopefully many years from now 🙏

Wow ~ just beautiful Ian certainly knows how to write great song lyrics and melody

Their last truly great record, what a comeback song !!! Sad pete was'nt there for it. Mac still looks and sounds fantastic here. These days it's a bit raggedy round all edges . Majestic masterpiece this song .

I absolutely love this song!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

All I can think about is a woman whom I thought was my forever person decided that she wasn't. Nothing lasts forever indeed.

What a beautiful song. ❤

Yeah, Yeah, Yeaaaah!

I'm going to have it put in my will to play this song and Rust at my funeral, and then I want everyone to party because I know I will be because I will finally be free!

Can't believe you played this at your brothers funneral.god bless .im now 59 and love this song.my sons 29 loves it too. Love music.songs mean so mutch for diffrent reasons .

Impulsive yearning and need captured in this magical song, Very special 💖

another great song guys totaliy inspirational

I remember playing this song one time crying my eyes out when I was on a meth comedown and I knew that I had to quit and go rehab. Nothing ever last forever.

I Love this, but makes me Cry my guts out every time I hear it!

One of the most underrated bands of the 80s and 90s

Heard it on the radio when i was talking to my boyfriend of 5 years and he told me he had someone else and i started crying as i hearf this song on the radio .. makes me cry every time i hear it .. reminds me of everything i had

So good you can hear Liam Gallagher on the backing vocals doing the Yeah yeah yeahs

Beautiful 👏👏👏🎶🎶🎶

and back in the 90's we go. one of my favourite tracks of all time, i can only wish to write as good a song someday.

Awesome tune

A great song for the moment we run out of time.

Very clever group, instead of being very big, shoudve been superstars, in my eyes they are but but thats the way it goes , great band

Star quality.

There is a japanese phrase that encapsulates this feeling, it's called 'Mono no aware'. It's very interesting to read about how artists evoke this feeling through their art.

Times running out the door your running in. We all getting old make the most of what you got.

Beautiful song 🥹😭

This is for our gizmo he died too young and he was a musician on the Liverpool scene, didn't want to be famous or something, just enjoyed music, I think he knew will Sargent pretty well.

This song real sounds like a farewell to De Freitas. So beautiful.

How true nothing last forever let's all find a time machine and go back to the 80s

What a song ! Incredible

Oh for the days of following the reds around europe with the Bunnymen blasting, but nothing ever lasts forever

Beautiful. Genius!

Love this band

Truly great.

I love this track . Freed me form pain today , I will be forever gratefull .

Love Echo!

Bunnymen are eternal.

When music was music and not the mass produced garbage it is now..

Brilliant.

Class

All the shadows and the pain. All the light And Ocean Rain.

Bang on!

S’nice that they had a little renaissance during Britpop, because they had proper songwriting in common with Noel, Jarvis, Albarn et al 😊 #bungalow

very underated track its brilliant

god bless my brother for introducing me to this group

superb

Amazing show last night ❤

Watched them play this mashed with Lou Reed -Walk in the Wild Side 4 days ago at Newcastle City Hall .... Amazing! Had a "moment" 🥺

Legendary tune

Angelic!

Citroen DS (the original) add instant coolness.
