Released in 1984 as the lead single from their album "Ocean Rain," the song has since become one of the band's most beloved and iconic tracks. With its ethereal atmosphere and poetic lyrics, "Killing Moon" captures Echo and the Bunnymen's sound and left an indelible mark on the music landscape

Formed in Liverpool, England, in 1978, Echo and the Bunnymen quickly rose to prominence in the post-punk era with their unique blend of dark, introspective lyrics and melodic rock. The band was founded by Ian McCulloch (vocals), Will Sergeant (guitar), and Les Pattinson (bass), and were later joined by Pete de Freitas (drums). Their music drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including The Velvet Underground, David Bowie, and The Doors. Their sound is simultaneously moody and anthemic

Legend has it that their drummer, Pete de Freitas, named their drum machine "Echo" because he believed it would confuse their rivals. The idea was that whenever other bands would talk about Echo and the Bunnymen, they wouldn't know whether it referred to the band as a whole or just their drum machine. The song should be played to a drum machine for 1980s authenticity, 124 bpm

"Killing Moon" gained renewed attention in popular culture when it was prominently featured in the 2001 cult film "Donnie Darko." The song plays during a crucial sequence in the movie, adding a sense of mystery and intensity to the scene. Its inclusion in the film introduced a new generation to Echo and the Bunnymen and solidified "Killing Moon" as a timeless classic

[Verse 1]
   Em
Under blue moon I saw you

So soon you'll take me

Unwillingly mine

In starlit nights I saw you

So cruelly you kissed me

Your sky all hung with jewels

The killing moon

Will come too soon

Unknown album (6/1/2023 7:13:40 PM)

Your Shadow

https://youtu.be/3fHo4B1x_BY

Seems to be an endless repeated theme for me ~ running away to the countryside, and in recent years this has been the Australian wilderness, from the deep south to the far north.

Dedicated to, and featuring Gary Reeves (aka Mountain Songs) on drums and cymbals (remixed) at the start. Banjo, lap slide guitar (acting as bass), beats and vox by myself. This song is for Gary, who has been a wonderful musical compadre for many of us around the world, via this  Soundcloud Village.

Respect and acknowledgement to the Traditional Owners of the lands, waters and skies in this video, both in Australia and New Zealand. Particular thanks to the Yolgnu people of Gapuwiyak who made me feel so welcome during my short visit to Arnhem Land last year.

Looking Up & Down      Song, recording, audio & video July 2023 - Chris Okunbor (APRA)
I was chained to the city, thinking I could fly,
I gazed at the heavens as the clouds rolled high.
Long, long days working to the plan,
I changed my way of living and I left that town.

Now I'm higher than the mountains, looking down below,
rolling miles above cotton candy snow.
Way beyond the city, just going with the flow.
running to freedom to a place unknown.

Got a window seat, got a beer in hand.
Feeling in my heart for this ancient land.
Well, wild rivers snake,  jeweled seas shine.
Djerimanga Songlines are spinning out my mind.

Higher than the mountains, and the madding crowd,
cruising miles above cotton fields of cloud.
Way beyond the city, going with the flow,
running to freedom, to a place unknown.
To a place unknown.

No Ping, No Call

1 
Noone to report to
No Notes to write
Nobody to be filmed 
Inconspiciously with a mobile device
Noone to be observed to
No endless hanging out in the car
With a tele and cigarettes
Not even cuckolded husbands

ref
Walking down Main Str.
Along the shops and cinemas
Stop for an instant
What do they play so far ?  
No pursuit by car

2
Noone to report to
No Notes to write
Nobody to be filmed 
Inconspiciously with a mobile device
Noone to be observed to
No endless hanging out in the car
With coffee and muffins
No cuckolded husbands

Noone to respond to
No Notes to burn
No appartements to enter
No targets to be wired
Or pointed out
No marks and no remarks
Noone to be removed
Inconspiciously with a mobile device

ref
Walking down Main Str.
Along the shops and cinemas
Arrive at the main square
Sittin’ down at a table 
In a cafe bar

3
No pursuit by car,
Not on foot 
Nor by bike
No One-Trick-Pony 
To be applied
Not even the smallest bribery
No neighbourhood in question, 
Which as usual 
knows nothing 
about anything at all
No orders received
No things to do
No message on the prepaid
Now -  think about it,

out 
For quite some time
Nothing at all
No ping, no call…
Been quiet for some time
Nothing at all
No ping, no call…

No Ping, No Call...

I normally go for "light and melodic" in my music but here i've gone for "dark and percussive" for a change!!

lyrics (Parental Advisory):
------------------------------
You're so strage to me

you got offended so fast
you're not built to last
you're made of sugar, butter and shit

You think it's only you
you cry like a bitch
your job it's only to abuse

whatever i say is wrong
your life is like a crappy song
no reason to talk to you anymore!

Fusion Vibes

Frequencies — Drift Notion’s lo-fi suite mapped to calming frequency beds. Each track pairs a specific tone (alpha/theta/delta pulses; 432/528/639/741…) with dusty drums, warm tape, and neon ambience to steer the mood—from morning clarity to midnight deep sleep. Built for study, journaling, decompressing; play it straight through for a day-to-night arc or drop into the emotion you need.

Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic.

Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set.

Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
