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
    C
So soon you'll take me
Em
Up in your arms too late to beg you
    C
Or cancel it though I know it must be
     Em
The killing time
    C
Unwillingly mine

He will wait until
                      G   Cm  Em C
You give yourself to him


[Verse 2]
    Em
In starlit nights I saw you
    C
So cruelly you kissed me
      Em
Your lips a magic world
      C
Your sky all hung with jewels
     Em
The killing moon
      C
Will come too soon

Killing Moon

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:

Vibrational
Sensational
With a slimy slip of Dorito finger
Buttons are nothing underneath where the crust curdles and lingers
I guess that's why Lara fell in a hole and died
I guess that's why Sackboy lost the step in his stride

My controls they are withering
and the snakes, they are slithering
If I don't get outta this pit, the repetitive urge won't benefit
Everything I've done to get to every, get to every drop of it
Comes crashing through the TV with the birth of a self honorary misfit

Don't you push my buttons
Cuz they may stick like Syrup
Don't you push
Don't you push
Because you may never see your part of me again

We think we figured out this game
and changed it's whole fucking name
Time will brittle some parts of the chain
and the function distorts away from the brain

大きな鳥 Ⅰ (a large bird Ⅰ)

大き鳥入りし樹に行き耳すまし梢のけはひをうかがひにけり
木下利玄（1886-1925）

A large bird is hiding behind the branches and leaves of a tall tree. I sense the bird's presence clearly.

------------------------------
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!
