"'Rust'" is a single by Echo & the Bunnymen which was released in March 1999. It was the first single to be released from their 1999 album, 'What Are You Going to Do with Your Life?'. It reached number 22 on the UK Singles Chart and currently remains their last UK Top 40 hit.

Overview



The single was released on London Records as a 7-inch single and as two separate CD versions. Apart from the title track, all three releases had different track listings. The two CD versions had different covers.

The title track was written by Will Sergeant and Ian McCulloch; Les Pattinson had left the band to look after his ailing mother by this time. The lyrics and melody for its chorus are borrowed from McCulloch's 1992 b-side song "Ribbons and Chains." The release was jointly produced by Alan Douglas, McCulloch, and Paul Toogood. The title track was mixed by Mark Stent while the other tracks were mixed by Mike Hunter.
