Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Smiths and Echo & the Bunnymen were pure magic, their music is timeless and so rich of great tunes.

It’s very scary how fast it really goes. When you get older nothings new and routines suck the meaning out of life. The only good thing, If your conscientious enough, is you learn to appreciate every moment of life and are grateful. When I was young I didn’t give a shit and knew I had time. One day you wake up and realize how much time is behind you. Love every minute with your family and friends because the clock ticks regardless and you can never go back.

This is the “One Song” that changed everything for me and further opened up my world to a new musical genre I hadn’t yet fully experienced. When I first heard it, it stopped me dead in my tracks. I instantly sat down on the carpeted floor of my bedroom with my transistor radio as I listened completely mesmerized and enthralled. It was the early 1980s. I was 14 at the time. Currently, 55 and going to see them (again) in Detroit in a couple weeks!✨

My brother really liked Echo & The Bunnymen, he also liked other bands, of course, but The Killing Moon is the song that I keep hearing in my head for the past week because today would be his anniversary. He died 33 years ago at 18, and it affected me profoundly. But it's funny to know, only now, that this was released one day before his anniversary. That's a very nice concidence. Thanks.

Then the 80's came around and one night driving home I heard Your Silent Face by New Order and I was shook to my core at how good it was and how much I liked it. From that night on my tastes changed and I still feel the same way today as I did that night when I hear the great music from the 80's.

That's because the music and the vocals were raw and natural back then. Now everything is overproduced and smothered with effects. Fake instruments have taken place of real ones and anyone with a pretty face can be a signed singer now, regardless of their singing ability. It's all about money now, which is sad because bands like Echo and the Bunnymen are the REAL artists. I've met amazing musicians who will never be heard because of the shallowness of the music industry. I don't like to be a negative Nancy but it is so true and as a musician myself, it is frustrating. I'm glad when I see others like yourself who acknowledge that music has changed because it makes me feel a little saner :)

This is still one of the best music videos I've ever seen. It's so simple yet it does the song so much justice. It's able to capture It's loneliness - the feeling of being out at night, under a blue moon, with nobody there to comfort you... it captures fear and anger - an ominous red glow and a venom oozing somehow from Ian's lips as he sings. Or I'm reading into it too much.. but who cares.

I don't remember the term "Goth" being used that often in 1983 when this was released. I was all of 18 yrs old when "The killing Moon" came out. I'm not trying to be rude, please don't take offense. Just wondering where you lived at that time. I'm from New Orleans, LA. Sometimes it takes a while for a phrase or term to hit the south......lol. But there was nothing like growing up in the Big Easy. But I love hearing about how other places in the world referred to the music and culture of that time frame. For me, the music of the late 70's and 80's, is unmatched. The level of creativity and diversity that came from that time frame, is what gave the artists of today the freedom of expression. Don't get me wrong, the 50'and the 60's had their thing. But a lot of it all sounded very similar. But Echo and the Bunnymen are still one of my top 5 favorite bands of all times. I fell in love with Ian. Went to their concert one night, then saw Ian and the other band members the next night at the Psychedelic Furs concert. That list also includes The Psychedelic Furs, The The, The Ramones, David Bowie, The Smithereens and many others. I also like the hard core punk like the Misfits, the Sex Pistols, the Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag and more. I still listen to it all today. It never gets old....... Enjoy your day! Playem loud!!!!

Part of it is that British rock is nourished by so many well-trained composers, often graduates of the Royal College of Music. America has good music conservatories, but somehow the people they produce don't work in rock as much as in Britain. The British re-invasion of the 1980s defined the era, when too many talented American performers and composers went over to pop.

@@patriciadechenier5740 great British music is not produced by graduates of music schools. Just people who mean it, often without any musical training. It's in our blood to make music, often it's the only escape from the life of dead end jobs. Working class kids with talent, just like Echo & The Bunnymen and a million others such as The Smiths and The Cure. Of course many great British musicians have had formal training but it's the lack of formal training that leads to experimentation, and on our insular Island it's music which gives people hope. To dream, to create and to be an individual. Unfortunately much of modern day British music is made by posh kids with no soul.,as the days of being on the dole, and being able to concentrate on music is a distant dream for a new generation.

It’s very scary how fast it really goes. When you get older nothings new and routines suck the meaning out of life. The only good thing, If your conscientious enough, is you learn to appreciate every moment of life and are grateful. When I was young I didn’t give a shit and knew I had time. One day you wake up and realize how much time is behind you. Love every minute with your family and friends because the clock ticks regardless and you can never go back.

@@derbigpr500 Any recommendations on bands/artists we should listen to? Thanks
This is the “One Song” that changed everything for me and further opened up my world to a new musical genre I hadn’t yet fully experienced. When I first heard it, it stopped me dead in my tracks. I instantly sat down on the carpeted floor of my bedroom with my transistor radio as I listened completely mesmerized and enthralled. It was the early 1980s. I was 14 at the time. Currently, 55 and going to see them (again) in Detroit in a couple weeks!✨
My brother really liked Echo & The Bunnymen, he also liked other bands, of course, but The Killing Moon is the song that I keep hearing in my head for the past week because today would be his anniversary. He died 33 years ago at 18, and it affected me profoundly. But it's funny to know, only now, that this was released one day before his anniversary. That's a very nice concidence. Thanks.
🤗😘
I am sorry to hear about your brother.
Much love and peace of heart to you and yours my brother. ❤
I heard this today and can't get it out of my head, I read the comments and I get it now. God bless we will get through this mind fckry.

My husband bought this on 12" vinyl. He has alzheimer's and he cannot remember it at all. I love it now, even more. It breaks my heart he can't remember.

The 80'S BRITISH INVASION DECADES WERE THE BEST!!!❤❤❤
I"m 65 and grew up loving music from a very early age. In the 70's I thought the hard rock of Zeppelin and Black Sabbath was the best there was. Then the 80's came around and one night driving home I heard Your Silent Face by New Order and I was shook to my core at how good it was and how much I liked it. From that night on my tastes changed and I still feel the same way today as I did that night when I hear the great music from the 80's.

The music/song is the drug.
Interesting you say this song transports you to another world. That is what appears to happen to the ship in the TV show 1899 as this very song is playing in the background
This song, bittersweet memories of the 80's, the angst of being a teenager, the clothes, the hairstyle, the youth club disco on a Friday night, the girls, the lads, the unbearable pain of wanting to be older, to explore the world - don't wait, do it or regret forever.
I recently read The Secret History by Donna Tartt, and whew you described the vibe. This song fits perfectly.
Too late.
Nailed it
Yes this song reminds me of a particularly painful rebuff in the 1980s .... very bittersweet song. Still wonderful though.

That's because the music and the vocals were raw and natural back then. Now everything is overproduced and smothered with effects. Fake instruments have taken place of real ones and anyone with a pretty face can be a signed singer now, regardless of their singing ability. It's all about money now, which is sad because bands like Echo and the Bunnymen are the REAL artists. I've met amazing musicians who will never be heard because of the shallowness of the music industry. I don't like to be a negative Nancy but it is so true and as a musician myself, it is frustrating. I'm glad when I see others like yourself who acknowledge that music has changed because it makes me feel a little saner :)

That's happened to me too. A teenage girl that I worked with wore a Police concert T-shirt one day and I told her how cool that was that she liked the band. Then she told me that it was her mom's shirt, she didn't even know who the Police were. Yep...old.

This is still one of the best music videos I've ever seen. It's so simple yet it does the song so much justice. It's able to capture It's loneliness - the feeling of being out at night, under a blue moon, with nobody there to comfort you... it captures fear and anger - an ominous red glow and a venom oozing somehow from Ian's lips as he sings. Or I'm reading into it too much.. but who cares.
The lighting in this is fantastic, especially the swinging ceiling lamp that casts light on Ian McCulloch's face, which is in turn is half bathed in blue light and half cast in a darkness.

I don't remember the term "Goth" being used that often in 1983 when this was released. I was all of 18 yrs old when "The killing Moon" came out. I'm not trying to be rude, please don't take offense. Just wondering where you lived at that time. I'm from New Orleans, LA. Sometimes it takes a while for a phrase or term to hit the south......lol. But there was nothing like growing up in the Big Easy. But I love hearing about how other places in the world referred to the music and culture of that time frame. For me, the music of the late 70's and 80's, is unmatched. The level of creativity and diversity that came from that time frame, is what gave the artists of today the freedom of expression. Don't get me wrong, the 50'and the 60's had their thing. But a lot of it all sounded very similar. But Echo and the Bunnymen are still one of my top 5 favorite bands of all times. I fell in love with Ian. Went to their concert one night, then saw Ian and the other band members the next night at the Psychedelic Furs concert. That list also includes The Psychedelic Furs, The The, The Ramones, David Bowie, The Smithereens and many others. I also like the hard core punk like the Misfits, the Sex Pistols, the Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag and more. I still listen to it all today. It never gets old....... Enjoy your day! Playem loud!!!!
And I'm now 57!

@@tuomasholo Thank you, it's actually coming up shortly. I'll be 58 years young on 12/3. I always laugh and say that in my head I'm still young and thin.... Lol I may be growing older, but I never agreed to grow up!!!
You have a great music tast
" you give yourself to him" I am 68 now and still remember the chills I got the first time I heard this song !( 1984) My brother just texted me - he is going to see them tonight.❤
I saw them last night. Every bit as amazing as when I saw them in 1987.
The golden age of British emo pop. Echo and the Bunnyben, The Cure, The Smiths. I always knew who the fans of this kind of music were at my highschool. Hair dyed black. Black trench coats. Heavy mascara. Doc Marten's Boots.
🌚🖤
I still get shivers down my spine when I hear this. Absolutely brilliant.
just one of the songs that makes you feel an emotion you can't quite describe...
Is soo deep and difficult to explain...
@@caro1399 it is like a wonderful dream with beautiful images and music! Ethereal and surreal, haunting and mesmerizing.
So true....this song and 'Big in Japan' by Alphaville.
@@m20j_pilot48 big in Japan? Are you serious? That is mere pop fodder.
@@mikeluke9404 // So true...but it was part of a line-up of songs a certain radio station where I grew up played on a regular basis...hearing one reminds me of another.
Lyrics: [Verse 1] Under blue moon I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms too late to beg you Or cancel it though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine [Chorus] Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him [Verse 2] In starlit nights I saw you So cruelly you kissed me Your lips a magic world Your sky all hung with jewels The killing moon Will come too soon [Chorus] Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him [Solo] [Verse 1] Under blue moon I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms, too late to beg you Or cancel it though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine [Chorus] Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him You give yourself to him Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him You give yourself to him
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the lyric man!
You broke this down like a good Christian hymnal......
Thank you so much for posting these awesome lyrics to this fantastic song, Nathan Severo. I loved this great song ever since the very first time I heard it, to this day I still love this fabulous song and you obviously have great taste in music. There's just nothing like great '80s pop music, and this beautiful song is yet another classic example of how fantastic the '80s were. Thank you very much once again, and rock on!!😀🎸😃🎸
thank
If it doesn't give you goosebumps, then your not human
i feel way edgier too
Lets remember the late drummer for Echo. Peter Louis Vincent de Freitas.. Performed on their first five albums.. Died in a motorcycle accident in 1989 at the age of 27. So very sad.. But his drumming lives on..
OH MY GOD, HE DID! :(
Wow he's officially a part of the 27 Club
he was fantastic on Over The Wall
His drumming on this is sublime. Just perfect.
We still had and have les warner
One of the best songs ever. But hardly mentioned in the mainstream
Does the mainstream need to be advised?
Mainstream to me means mediocre, ordinary
it has 30 million views, that's doing pretty well!
Well showing up in Billions definitely made it reappear
The mainstream isn't the centre of anyone's universe. The mainstream doesn't feel like this because not everyone is ready for it. I certainly wasn't at 14
I want this played at my funeral. Already mentioned it to my son, who loves this also
Me too 😮
This song breaks my heart in 17 places.
This has to be one of the greatest songs of all time!
Absolutely totally....
Everything about this song is perfect.
I know right I was thinking the same thing there is nothing you could possibly say is wrong with this song it is perfect
Literally.
im not au fait with musical terminology so this will sound crude but to be _absolutely_ perfect for me the verses (the killing moon/time parts) could he a tad longer before dropping into the chorus(?) fate up against etc. though i am being somewhat pedantic, it is an all time great as it is
Accurate.
Years pass so fast it's brutal.
Miss the 80s. Would go back for a visit in a second.
Me too
Would stay there for eternity if I could.
A great time to be a teenager!
Under blue moon, I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms, too late to beg you Or cancel it, though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him In starlit nights, I saw you So cruelly, you kissed me Your lips, a magic world Your sky, all hung with jewels The killing moon Will come too soon Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Under blue moon, I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms, too late to beg you Or cancel it, though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him You give yourself to him La La, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him You give yourself to him La, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him La, la, la, la La, la, la, la

I can hear this song over and over again ,never get tired😂❤😂
I can't not hear this song and think of Donnie Darko, what a great song for a great movie
@Dream Killers It reminds me of my senior year in high school. The year this came out.
Absolutely
@@justinevans125 yes
@Dream Killers YES!
Totally and also under the milky way by church
They got the Bunnymen to play in a movie about a Bunnyman. Makes sense.
no Echo though. shame.
@@jorgepeterbarton Echo was already kicked to the curb cos' Pete had replaced him with the real thing!
@@levisguy53 aye true. Never have a dolphin on drums.
Mind blown!
My favorite movie of all time
The brilliance of this song is incredible. It's eerie and unsettling, spiritual, unknowingly other world and it guides you into a higher place with the upbeat tempo. It drives you deeper and deeper into the unknown which no living soul knows of yet, and it's that tempo which is the excitement of "Fuck there is an after life.. yes"
woooo love that
you are so so right. they really get the listener in a unique way. specially the old songs. they are a huge influence and inspiration to our band and our music
Prairie Fire, Galesburg IL brought me here, freshman year '85 💜🔥🥂🦉
This just doesn’t get old. A thing of beauty really is a joy forever.
Keats! It's my friend, really a joy forever.
Glen great description of a great song!
So true! All songs age due to the date of release, but some never grow old - this song is ageless!
It's a diamond and ageless.
Bitchen quote... Absolutely spot on...

Thank you very much for sharing the lyrics!
Thank you!😎👍🏽👍🏽
Beautiful, Magnificent , Other Worldly ---- Their Music is ART of The HIGHEST Ranking 😎
Thanks!
Fabulous song!! The 80's were the last decade for great bands in my opinion... Echo and the Bunnymen, The Plimsouls, Tears for Fears, Modern English, Psychedelic Furs, The Cure, The Church... so miss that time...
@@irismadrigal_conansversion The Plimsouls appear in the movie “Valley Girl” - they contributed three songs to the soundtrack. Truly one of the most organic bands of the 80’s and, as you mentioned, write from the heart. Let me know how you like them!
August 16th, 1987.. I saw this band with New Order and Gene Loves Jezebel at Popular Creek. It was such a great concert.
the intro....oh my god still love it after all these years...so melancholic, so tragic and so (donnie) darko!
I started listening to this and immediately thought darko!
Darko 🖤🖤
that G major crashing into the B Minor chord in the chorus is gloomy and majestic. well done
Listen to the bassline in the Cure's "Disintergration". Sound familiar? Both classic songs though.
@@m____w____6981 both are classic, awesome songs. My favorite from each respective act. But I can also say they're not exactly complex lines and there was a lot of overlap from every band of the era not named The Smiths, because Johnny Marr and Andy Rourke were so appallingly irreplaceable
Yea it's so beautiful
With all due respect, isn't it G major to C minor? That's how I remember playing it. Been a long time, tho, so I could have forgotten.
@@Wolfdragon92584 Yes it is G major to C minor. There are numerous variations out there though.
Rediscovered watching 80s Top of the pops & loved as a teenager & now midlife love it again😍✌️
Just another great band from our 80's. Not played on pop stations but the underground radio with other great music
37 years of Killing Moon. 37 years of magic. 37 years only a few songs can come close to this. 37 years... 37 tears.
unwillingling me mine
Hello how are you doing
I watch Donnie Darko 1 time every year on my birthday... Oct 30th. By far my favorite movie of all time. This song always gives me goosebumps.
Austin Schlatter Happy Birthday
@InSoxWeTrust thanks man!
Donnie darko gets better every time I watch it
Time for another viewing :)
Donnie darko is so FUCKING AWESOME HOLY SHIT
Maybe these lyrics don't actually mean anything, but to me it sounds really prophetic for some reason. This is one song that I wish I would have written, it's so mesmerising.
one of the most underrated songs ever. A song about life, sacrifice and death.....great song.
Wow ........ spine is tingling, hair standing on end, and I'm 52! Same re-action when I first heard the song in 1984.
How did we get here? Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday.
I’m 52 as well, and still remember the first time I heard this song through headphones back in the mid-eighties. Still an amazing song. Even the extended versions are awesome that can be found on youtube. Do it properly and listen through headphones.
Perfectly said, friend. I turned 52 this year as well, and this song never ceases to resonate.
I am 57 😆
52 also here, I feel the same...
British bands are simply the best! They just get it!!
Part of it is that British rock is nourished by so many well-trained composers, often graduates of the Royal College of Music. America has good music conservatories, but somehow the people they produce don't work in rock as much as in Britain. The British re-invasion of the 1980s defined the era, when too many talented American performers and composers went over to pop.
@@patriciadechenier5740 Eugh
@@patriciadechenier5740 great British music is not produced by graduates of music schools. Just people who mean it, often without any musical training. It's in our blood to make music, often it's the only escape from the life of dead end jobs. Working class kids with talent, just like Echo & The Bunnymen and a million others such as The Smiths and The Cure. Of course many great British musicians have had formal training but it's the lack of formal training that leads to experimentation, and on our insular Island it's music which gives people hope. To dream, to create and to be an individual. Unfortunately much of modern day British music is made by posh kids with no soul.,as the days of being on the dole, and being able to concentrate on music is a distant dream for a new generation.
@@sdbanotts all of my favorite bands are British. My favorite singers are British, they have the best voices. My theory is that an English accent aids in creating the perfect singing voice, on top of talent. What do you think of this theory?
@@kkhunt7 I think that theory holds some worth. But then one would be forgetting the beautiful American voices of such bands like The Byrds and The Beach Boys. Some US harmonies are simply untouchable in my humble opinion.
One of the best songs anyone can hear. Its timeless, like all the priceless things are.
40 years . . . just a blink of an eye ! . . Outstanding! Best 80's song
The 80's was the decade poets went main stream. Music you had to dissect and digest. What luxury.
Billy Kruger Well said!
You act like music with meaning doesn’t exist in our time lfmao, you just have to search for it
@@grahamcrackers7205 no, but you used to have be talented to be in the mainstream. Just shows another way capitalism sucks balls.
What you don't appreciate the hip bop plop. Ebonics be fun and what not, know what I'm sayin.
@@boughtbot2639 Yes, because this song was made before capitalism was around.
