Released in August 1987, was the second single from Echo & the Bunnymen’s self-titled fifth studio album. Initially, frontman Ian McCulloch famously dismissed the track as being "too commercial" for the band's brooding, neo-psychedelic identity. Despite his initial artistic hesitation, the song became a substantial success. It reached number 36 on the UK Singles Chart and performed even better in Ireland and New Zealand. While it failed to crack the Billboard charts in the United States, heavy rotation on MTV's 120 Minutes and consistent college radio airplay cemented it as the band's signature track for American audiences. 2.

You don’t need expensive luxury brands to get the effect. Mix a teaspoon of brown sugar (which contains molasses for moisture) with a half-teaspoon of honey (a natural humectant) and a drop of coconut or jojoba oil. Gently massage this mixture onto your lips in circular motions for one minute. Rinse, and you are left with a smooth, polished canvas.
