Sky always blue: "Big Days" by Ian McCulloch · Jul 14, 05:08 AM by Don
I’ve been listening to a lot of Echo & The Bunnymen lately. I recently bought the 2003 reissues of Crocodiles and Heaven Up Here. Those dominated the car stereo for two weeks. Two days ago, I received in the mail a “like new” used copy of Echo singer Ian McCulloch’s solo single, “Candleland.” In a 1990 interview with Dave Kendall on MTV’s 120 Minutes show, McCulloch had this to say about the purpose of songwriting:
“There’s a lot of things that go into the writing of a song, and if people want to draw more than you’ve actually put in from a song, that’s fine. But basically your writing to have a nice tune, to not sound stupid, and hopefully give a little bit of who you are to somebody else.”
Here is “Big Days,” the third of five songs found on the single.
