The Killing Moon by Echo & The Bunnymen

Hi all. Love the new film. Anyone ever heard the song The Killing Moon by Echo & The Bunnymen? I’ve been a fan of this tune for years… only just now realizing how appropriate it is, how much it fits. I hope to see it included sometime. Maybe background music like Don’t Fear The Reaper? Lyrics attached. Find the song and listen. It’s a great little Halloween tune in any sense!!!

Cheers!!


Under a 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 a 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
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
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
La la la la la

Always loved this song.

yup it’s been a good song for a long time

One of my favorites. Donnie Darko used it really well. Gives you a false sense of how Echo and the Bunnymen sound though.

Amazing song, first truly appreciated it watching Dinner Darko. Thinking about the entire score from that film really makes me want to watch it again tonight!
