Ian McCulloch is too modest
Echo and the Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch to Rolling Stone:
'The Killing Moon' is more than a song, it’s about everything. It’s up there with 'Suzanne' by Leonard Cohen, 'Blowin In the Wind,' 'In My Life.' Every time I sing it I feel like… [looks perplexed] whoa, something just happened there. I let the crowd sing along with it now too. It used to put me off… like being in Glasgow something they’d all sound like “och aye, da dee dee…” But now I really enjoy it. It’s hard enough to get a band to agree and say ‘that’s the one.’ But with 'The Killing Moon,' everyone gets it.
