Back to the Eighties: The Killing Moon


Original video located here. Accessed 19th November 2022

Song title: The Killing Moon

Artist: Echo and the Bunnymen

Year: 1984

Why I like this song:

I first heard this back in the late nineties. At the time I didn't know what to think of it but it eventually grew on me.

And that explains just why this song succeeds: It seduces. So many elements in play that gradually win the listener over: That opening guitar, the bass and light drumming, the growly guitar and the strings.

Maybe it's the product of an overactive imagination but i will always associate this song as being akin to being approached by a succubus. Which makes the seductive nature of it make sense XD
