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

The killing time

Unwillingly mine

Will come too soon

I don’t buy anything, process anything, or sell anything- i don’t process anything sold or bought or processed, or sell anything to be bought or processed or sold

JTSunrise, like a cryptic melody echoing through the mist, A silhouette against the dawn, veiled in an enigma’s twist. Their chords weave secrets, harmonies untold, In the dim-lit corners of the soul, they unfold

Is it the owl reflection of their eyes, the echo of forgotten lullabies? JT strums the strings of mystery, A troubadour in the shadows, lost in history

Their lyrics dance on the edge of dreams, Whispers of forgotten realms and moonlit streams. Enigmatic, they wander through star-kissed nights, A minstrel of the cosmos, chasing celestial light

Chaldean Birth Name Number Calculation:
JTSunrise breaks down as follows:
J = 1, T = 4, S = 3, U = 6, N = 5, R = 2, I = 1, S = 3, E = 5.
Total: 1 + 4 + 3 + 6 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 5 = 30.
Reduce 30 to 3 (3 + 0).
