Rescue from Rescue by Lifening

This song has evolved live for Echo and the Bunnymen over the 40+ years the song has been out. One thing about the Bunnymen is their live show is great and their live versions, which they have released many over the years, are also interesting to listen to. So I went ahead and recorded a cover of their 2001 live version of Rescue, Why? Because there is no studio recording of any of their extended versions of the song, only reworks and the original. The Doors influence is clear here in the breakdown and the inclusion of some lyrics from another song by Ian make this version one of the coolest by far. I hope you enjoy it. It's hard to believe how this song can still stand up today with some of the best after all these years.

Lyrics

If I said I'd lost my way
Would you sympathize
Could you sympathize?
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
But you know I didn't have it anyway

Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my rescue

Rescue

Things are wrong
Things are going wrong
Can you tell that in a song

I don't know what I want anymore
First I want a kiss and then I want it all

Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my rescue
Rescue, rescue, rescue
Come on and rescue me

I forget, just what I meant
Broke my neck, lost respect
It was my fall from grace
It was my total eclipse
I'm sorry lips, and I'm sorry grace

It's just the blues I'm singing
It's just the blues I'm singing
It's just the blues I'm singing
It's just the blues I'm singing

Is this the blues I'm singing?
Is this the blues I'm singing?
Is this the blues I'm singing?
Is this the blues I'm singing?
You bet!
