Extended perfection from Echo & The Bunnymen.
Ian MacCulloch was never one for modesty when it came to the band's output. However, when you've given the world a song like this you've got some grounds for boasting.
As a one-off achievement, it puts them up there alongside The Smiths' 'How Soon Is Now', New Order's 'True Faith', Jesus & Mary Chain's 'Just Like Honey', Cocteau Twins' 'Pearly Dewdrops Drops' and so on.
Utterly wonderful - sweeping strings, dramatic sound, passionate vocals, it should really have been covered by Frank Sinatra on one of those Rick Rubin-produced career reappraisal albums. As it is, unless you're Sinatra, you'd have to be very brave to take this one on. Only Pavement have succeeded IMHO, but that's one for another day.
