"Lift Me Up and Rain Drops"

General discussion about the band, live shows, its recordings or bootlegs, etc. You can buy, sell or trade here. You can even post eBay links. If it's about the Bunnymen, it goes here.

I'd expect a little more optimism about Mac's solo efforts from someone named Mr. Sparkle.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

This just in from the NME. Professor Green has spoken to Mac about working with him. If this happens, it will be the biggest collaboration since the Spice Girls and that bloke from Take That. It'll be like a Mac solo song off Slideling with rapping over the top. This will be a sure fire hit with legions of 12 year old chav girls then moving over to the Bunnymen.

I was hoping this was going to be a cover of the #1 70s hit by B.J. Thomas "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on Me 'ead"

I liked "Baby Rain"; maybe he can combine the two and call it "Baby Raindrops Keep Fallin' on Me 'ead"? C'mon....that's a chart topper right there, kids.

I like Baby Rain and many songs from that album. WAYGTDWYL was the best Ian solo album with special guest Will Sergeant of Echo & the Bunnymen.

Do you reckon if we sent that in to Bunnymen Facebook they'd change the info for that album.

Also Reverberation: "Will Sergeant and Les Pattinson from Echo & The Bunnymen are joined by some of their friends."

At this point I should clearly change my name or just have Brian delete my account.
