My whole family, from Grandma, to dad, uncle, cousins, brothers, and me, drove all through Europe in the early 1990s, and this album was one of the albums we listened to on repeat, creating a magical and fantastic soundtrack to a defining era of my young life.

we've lost a few of our number since, but this song is timeless, as are the memories of that incredible summer...

Thank you iain.

Ian dedicated this album to his dad...I bought it back when I was in the Marines...whenever I listen to it I remember how proud my dad was of me...powerful.

Boris Williams from The Cure drumming. Great drummer.

This song in particular, but the entire candleland album, Ian's seminal album, was the our familial soundtrack for our entire family road trip through europe as children, with my brothers, my father, my uncle, my grandmother and my cousins.
We had such an epic summer that year, driving around the beautiful roads of central europe, with a blistering hot summer (I remember driving through southern france and the alwarnings about high heat, 50°c!!!) It was such a wonderful time of my young life, and this song always reduces me to tears, for the lost childhood, lost grandmother, and a far happier period of my life.
Thank you ian, for providing my younger day with an anthem of such beauty as this.

Hear it all the time, "the Eighties was the best decade of music." Clearly an understatement. This track is teen-angst, catchy, and captivating. This is why the Eighties changed music forever.

I fell between the bruises
And the red curtain call
I prayed you'd light the fuses
And we'd burn and torch it all
Long days journey into
Long nights journey out
Knee deep so deep within you
I kept and keep without

[NoName-xrxb]

Something about the sight of Ian dancing amidst the flames of his personal baggage always makes me happy. :)

Looks like rain again
Feels like it's rained forever
Can't remember when
Don't remember whether
I ever really told you who I was
It must have been because, because, because
From start to finish
I was proud to fall
And I fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all

[mantooscuro]

Here you come again
Acting like a saviour
There you go again
Talking like a stranger

You said we must all learn to face
What we're becoming
And then I saw you in the distance
Off and running

But from start to finish
I was proud to fall
And I fell deep within it
I got lost inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all

Looks like rain again
Feels like it's rained forever
Can't remember when
Don't remember whether
I ever really told you who I was
It must have been because because because

From start to finish
I was proud to fall
And I fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all

I fell between the bruises
And the red curtain call
I prayed you'd light the fuses
And we'd burn and torch it all
Long days jouney into
Long nights journey out
Knee deep so deep within you
I kept and keep without

You said we must all learn to face
What we're becoming
And then I saw you in the mirror
Off and running

But from start to finish
I was proud to fall
And I fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it

He is cute I absolutely love Ian McCullough

[gwts]

Man, I totally forgot about this album. Bloody brilliant!!

[johnbinder]

Wow, a great poem about relationships (apparently messed up ones in that they don't always turn out well). But a great piece of music regardless. One of his best. Bravo.

[dammbleth]

Mac better watch himself with all that hairspray and all that fire.
