I get "The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

...but I love that album despite all the reasons it's not a "real" Bunnymen album. I think Ian's voice is great and the songs are heartfelt. I have weeped to Rust and History Chimes.

here's a link that works in the US

I hear it especially in the rhythm. Reminds me of Get In The Car

Oops. Sorry about that.

Yeah, I definitely hear 'Get in the Car' in there, as well as a bit of 'Baby Rain.' I love the LP as well. I heard it the summer I was entering my final year of university, and it definitely soundtracked many a soul searching afternoon.

For context, The Lighthouse Family were pretty much a UK phenomenon. They sold millions of records and still get played on the radio, despite being routinely slagged off in the UK press as being the epitome of middle of the road drivetime music.

Now that the Lighthouse Family have split up, I'm reminded of my theory that Mac was influenced by them circa WAYGDWYL.
