Echo and the Bunnymen- "Never Stop"

What a song. I've gotten into Echo and the Bunnymen over the past year, and I have to say that this is the most stunning track I've heard of theirs. That opening cello riff coupled with the synthesizer is so instantly striking. The groove is delectable and Ian's vocals simply soar over that transcendent chorus.

Anyone else have love for this song?

Love this song. They had a lot of killer singles. "Do It Clean", "Seven Seas", "Bring On The Dancing Horses", "Lips Like Sugar" and of course "The Killing Moon". So many more I haven't mentioned.

Indeed! They were a great singles band and I like their early albums quite a bit.

I dig the Bunnymen. Killing Moon is my fave. Theres this scene in the movie Gia where she's headed down the heroin highway, and Killing Moon is the background music. The song Totally makes the scene intnse.
A happy face, A Thumpin Bass, For A Lovin' Race. PEACE.

The studio version is utterly sublime! Unfortunately, I don't think there is a video with this version!

Love it a lot, though it's just outside my top tier of Echo tracks. That list would include:

The Cutter
Seven Seas (despite some questionable lyrics...cavemen singing??? yeesh to that line)
Over the Wall
Back of Love
Heads Will Roll

I saw them in a local club about three years ago, and they were absolutely brilliant, every bit as dense and hard as they were in their prime. The only drawback was that Ian M's vocals did sound a touch rough. Time and about a million cigarettes will do that, I suppose.

Those are indeed some great tunes. One of my other favorites is "Villiers Terrace" from Crocodiles. Sublime!
