A great song from my favourite group of the early 80s. Such great musicianship and a perfect antidote to New Romantics and Thatcherism.

Still sends shivers after all these years. This was a band that knew exactly what they wanted this song to sound like. And thanks to the original editor of this video = very well done.

Personally I think Drummer Pete DeFreitas early death was a huge blow to the Bunnymen’s success and progression. Secondly lead vocalist Ian McCullough didn’t strike me as the most compromising of individuals. Which never augers well with powerful manipulative record execs especially during that period. I found both The Bunnymen and U2 ‘s music equally anthemic although I’d never considered them eclectic bands.U2 were more lucky with management.

U2 somehow got really quick crossover appeal in America too. Same with A Flock of Seagulls.

Bunnymen will always be a great band, and A Promise remains a great song, and, yes, U2 was “lucky” to have great management, even though your implication is that Echo was not as big in the States due to poor management and Mac’s at times uncompromising and difficult personality. There were other factors. Pete, a huge talent, had his fatal accident after the band had made its first major split in the 80s and after he had gone AWOL before their eponymous 87 LP sessions began (yes, he returned for them). Will, a huge talent, let Mac steer the band into a poppier, less Goth rock sound on Ocean Rain. IMHO, “Never Stop” was the last great Bunnymen single. I know I am in the minority on that. I still enjoy songs from Ocean Rain and actually have a higher opinion of the 87 LP than most critics. Yes, they should have been bigger in a perfect world. U2 had the discipline and enough humility to make it work long-term. Les was a huge talent, but soured on Mac’s leadership around 1998 with their reunited 75% Bunnymen. Is Mac a huge talent? Yes. Would his 89 solo album have made a fine Bunnymen album? Yes. Should Will have had his way with the band’s sound in the crucial mid-80s? I think so. Sorry for the rambling. When I interviewed Mac back in the 90s, he was still most proud of Ocean Rain and he did not appreciate my remark about the first 3 Bunnymen albums being stronger than the first 3 U2 albums. “Don’t forget Ocean Rain.” I am grateful for all of the great music the band did produce together.
