Proxy
Echo And The Bunnymen · The Fountain [2009]
Show me somewhere that I've not been before
You give me so much I don't want anymore
And until I get my fill
Awake on the sea, asleep on the shore
You're making me just want to keep wanting more
I'm understanding, and I'm standing under awe
Just like many, but nobody
Not like any, everybody
Everybody, look at us now
Everybody, look at us now
Everybody, look at us now
Look at us now
Yeah, look at us now
Yeah, look at us now
Look at us now
I love it when you say you're better than me
Like you know you're not as clever as me
You can't connect intellectually
And until I get my fill
My head is heading for the head surgery
Everything you said, you heard it from me
Your repetition's just repeating on me
Just like many, but nobody
Not like any, everybody
Everybody, look at us now
Everybody, look at us now
Everybody, look at us now
Look at us now
Yeah, look at us now
Yeah, look at us now
Look at us now
Am I the wrong one?
Am I the wrong one?
Am I the wrong one?
Am I the wrong one?
Everybody, look at us now
Everybody, look at us now
Everybody, look at us now
Everybody, look at us now
Everybody, look at us now
Everybody, look at us now
Everybody, look at us now
Everybody, look at us now
Proxy - Echo And The Bunnymen
Echo And The Bunnymen's 'Proxy' stands as a defining track from their 2009 album 'The Fountain,' capturing the band's late-period evolution. The song blends their signature post-punk energy with a more atmospheric, melancholic tone, characteristic of their work in the 2000s. Featuring the band's iconic blend of driving rhythms and emotive vocals, the recording showcases their ability to shift from raw aggression to introspective storytelling. Released during a time when the group was navigating changes in their musical direction, 'Proxy' remains a potent example of their enduring influence on the alternative rock and shoegaze scenes. It serves as a testament to their capacity to create evocative, long-form compositions that resonate deeply with listeners.
