One at a Time: "Heaven Up Here" (1981) by Echo and the Bunnymen

 #471 "Heaven Up Here" (1981) by Echo and the Bunnymen


"Heaven Up Here" was not my type of music.


I listened to it five times all the way through on youtube. It's this sort of music that seems like it's punk music, but its all brooding and whiny. I'd actually never heard of this, and I can see why it would be off my radar. I know it's sort of dumb to just be like, "this isn't for me," but it is a little bit more than that. Because it's like a cheesy '80s synth version of today's crappy version of punk.
