I've known this song for 25 years. It's one of those rare songs that manages to sound mournful and cheerful all at once. It's such a sad song. And I love it.
after 25 years of listening to this song (and loving its brilliant musical craftmanship) it has finally occurred to me to ask: just what the heck are the lyrics about? Anyone?
@billyjoeboomboom The lyrics are about being alone and seeking hope. And love. Not being able to connect. But knowing there is something else out there besides isolation. The dancing horses. The new messiah. It is about pain. And hope. IMO.
I miss music like this.

An excellent song that announces the great tracks on Echo And The Bunnymen's eponymous album!
