It’s 1989 and I am walking the Ever embarking halls of Venice, high school…. Cool kids are everywhere and I am pretending not to see; never to notice, but ever hiding the insecurities that I feel trying to rip out of my chest. I see the beautiful girl that sits in the middle of the room of my fourth period class walking opposite direction of me; ALL while ‘the killing jar of Susie and the banshees’ is playing on my walk-man. Those times have come and gone, but this song continues to live forever ❤️
Siouxsie's voice is so uniquely hypnotic.
Rock band Unplugged squad here 👌
very underrated music, great piece of art
One of their best. Masterpiece !!
Down where this ugly man Seeks his sustenance Down in the blue, midnight flare A glass hand cuts through the water Scything into his twisted roots Then from his eyes spring fireflies Breathing life into a roaring disguise Needles & Sins, Sins & Needles He's gasping for air In the wishing well Dust to rust, ashes on gashes Hand around the killing jar A soft hoodwink of shadows The size of make-believe Punching through his spike of rage A glass hand cuts through the water Snuffing out the magic fury Then from inside bolt lightening cries Swiftly crushed the final, muffled sighs Needles & Sins, Sins & Needles He's gasping for air In the wishing well Dust to rust, ashes on gashes Hand around the killing jar Hand around the killing jar Hand around the killing jar
Then from his eyes spring fireflies Breathing life into a roaring disguise Needles and sins, sins and needles He's gasping for air in the wishing well ❤️🎵🎶 Lovely poetry!
Beautiful talented woman loved this band in my youth and still do today thank you Banshees ❤️🏴
Mais qui sont ces jeunes premiers?? À n'en pas douter, les sauveurs du Rock n'Roll !
That image of her if you pause at 1:17 with her face superimposed over the butterfly wing is stunning! 🦋 Also 3:19 is amazing too.
Between these days, I was ripping some cds from my collection to keep them safe. So suddenly, I found "Twice Upon a Time" and this beautiful song. I don't know how many times I played in a row... But it brought me a happyness that only Siouxie gives me. Thanx for the music Siouxie! 🤘
When did the Banshees ever fail to produce a masterpiece? Diverges from their early "punk" roots so effortlessly. Proof they cannot be typecast.
A testament to Siouxsie's vocal prowess ❤️
Cool intro, cool song. Cool bassline. Amazing lyrics. God bless.
This video was so well produced, it's a shame someone thought it would be a good idea to change the ratio of it by cutting part of the screen.
Dust to rust, ashes on gashes Hand around the killing jar Hand around the killing jar.....♫♫
Great production! Disney-humuor, metallic bass and guitar. And I Imagine walking in a sunny city! Siouxsies voice sounds trapped in some vacuum, suitable for the song!
I love her hair style in this video.
A masterpiece.
