Don't Let It Get You Down
Echo And The Bunnymen · Evergreen [1997]
You're really something else
Made me forget myself
My lights came on
When I got to you
You were almost through
You're almost gone
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
The moon and the stars
Goes crashing round
Don't let it get you down
An angel walked amongst us
Tried but couldn't love us
Something's wrong since
You've gone you know
There's nothing and
No one to hang love on
So tell me how it feels
Tell me how it feels
To touch the flame
Tell me who I am
Tell me who I really am
What's my name
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
The moon and the stars
Goes crashing round
(When you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
The moon and the stars
Goes crashing round
(when you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
The moon and the stars
Goes crashing round
(When you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
God's above us and Jesus loves us
If God's above us and Jesus loves us
If God's above us
(If you want it, you can get it)
And Jesus loves us
(If you want it, you can get it)
If God's above us
(If you want it, come on get it)
And Jesus loves us
(Right now)
If God's above us
(If you want it, you can get it)
And Jesus loves us
(If you want it, you can get it)
If God's above us
(If you want it, come on get it)
And Jesus loves us
Made me forget myself
My lights came on
When I got to you
You were almost through
You're almost gone
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
The moon and the stars
Goes crashing round
Don't let it get you down
An angel walked amongst us
Tried but couldn't love us
Something's wrong since
You've gone you know
There's nothing and
No one to hang love on
So tell me how it feels
Tell me how it feels
To touch the flame
Tell me who I am
Tell me who I really am
What's my name
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
The moon and the stars
Goes crashing round
(When you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
The moon and the stars
Goes crashing round
(when you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
(When you're alone)
The moon and the stars
Goes crashing round
(When you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
God's above us and Jesus loves us
If God's above us and Jesus loves us
If God's above us
(If you want it, you can get it)
And Jesus loves us
(If you want it, you can get it)
If God's above us
(If you want it, come on get it)
And Jesus loves us
(Right now)
If God's above us
(If you want it, you can get it)
And Jesus loves us
(If you want it, you can get it)
If God's above us
(If you want it, come on get it)
And Jesus loves us
Don't Let It Get You Down
Echo And The Bunnymen's 'Don't Let It Get You Down' stands as a defining track from their 1997 album 'Evergreen'. Released during the band's final era before their dissolution, the song exemplifies their signature blend of post-punk energy and melodic sensibility. With its driving rhythm and emotive vocals, the recording captures the group's transition toward a more polished sound while retaining their characteristic intensity. As a staple of their discography, it remains a powerful representation of late-90s alternative rock, showcasing the band's ability to craft anthemic songs that resonate with listeners decades later.
