  • The killing moon is een single van Echo & the Bunnymen. Het is afkomstig van hun album Ocean rain. The killing moon is grotendeels geschreven door de zanger/gitarist Ian McCulloch van Echo & the Bunnymen. Naar zijn zeggen zat de tekst 'Fate up against your will. Through the thick and thin. He will wait until you give yourself to him” bij het krieken van de dag in zijn hoofd, als door God gezonden. Hijzelf vindt/vond het het beste lied ooit. Tegelijkertijd kwam de inspiratie voor dit nummer uit Space Oddity van David Bowie en met name door het achterstevoren af te luisteren (van het lied is niets terug te horen in The killing moon). De oosterse klanken zijn geïnspireerd op een reis door de (muzikale) Sovjet-Unie met balalaikaklanken. (nl)
