siouxsie and the banshees - melt (live OGWT 12-11-82)

[ralucagymnast]

Absolutely breathtaking; this was always one of my favourite songs ever; darkly sensual and delicious.

[revange341]

Los lamentos de la dama del hielo

[marienphil]

[siel740313dv9]

Soy de Mexico y metalero a morir, y esta cancion tiene una nostalgia magica ....

[gbyrne]

[RealityShockDisorder]

macabre...

[MsSevenseas]

there is no time to breath ...not a single breath...melt my lover....melt... you are beheaded... ...of discipline and devotion... melt melt melt Love siouxsie a lot a lot a lot ....with my hands between your legs (my love lunatic...you know who..)

[counttalkula]

They're still great live...I saw them a few years ago in SF. Blew away almost every other band I've seen by far

[tootstanner]

I first saw them perform at the Royal Albert Hall in the mid 80's, Siouxsie had broken her leg, and instead of the tour being abandoned, she came on and did the set propped up on a stool holding a Skull-handled Cane!! you wouldnt get that kind of determination with most of todays bands!!! Years later i saw the band in the Glasgow "barrowlands" and i remember Siouxsie saying "Not bad for an old 70's band are we?" They were awesome, totally original, the first gothic Band!!

[voicedeliaquim]

Her voice sounds so beautiful...

[BurningOrchids]

Oh, I didn't even see Robert Smith there until the end.

[rushkagon]

This is the most powerful love song ever written.

Haunting yet so so soothing.

Melt Melt Melt. My lover melt!

[krmccartney]

is this song about AIDS?

[LordPropaganda]

You know I always thought this song was about impotence. Either way, tis' a great song.

[alexd2010]

My god, her voice just sounds amazing on this performance!

[LOSTANDLONEY]

This is jusr PERFECTION.

i wish i could travel in time..

[aschenputtel85]

[SvarteIX]

Damn I sure do love Siouxsie

[rodvicious1985]

I love this song, its so dark!!!

[Baandibaandi]

Smexy!

[xgirlfiendx]

I love the bassline at the end.

[xgirlfiendx]

I wonder where she got the inspiration for this.

[AsparagusSpears]

I think Severin's the one who wrote this, but yeah I wonder where he got the inspiration.

[xgirlfiendx]

Maybe some erotic movie? I doubt they were into pornos.

[AsparagusSpears]

Haha, probably was a porno but I doubt Severin would have called it that lol

[xgirlfiendx]

Yeah, he prolly would've called it an "erotic movie" to be classier.

[warminator]

"Can`t you see see into the back of a long black car, pulling away from the funeral the flowers and my hand between your legs........Melting..

Such a great song

[nikorey27]

I love that end of the song! The lyrics of this song are  so incredible! Love Siouxie!

[nikorey27]

Perhaps the most erotic song I ever heard, but also so well written. What can I say...Siouxie!

[xgirlfiendx]

Mmmmm, strangely sexy.

[natebati]

severin wrote the lyrics for this song, and it's basically a love song.

[natebati]

severin wrote the lyrics for this song

[semenangel]

sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[solwolfpunk]

"suicide in sex". two people loose their individual egos and metaphorically die during sex.

[novice8814]

My favorite song from my favorite band. This brings back memories.

[enioperceval]

is good to see Robert Smith with a olympic white Fender Electric XII(very rare color).

[SimplyReg]

GEEK!! lol

[stressbabyuk]

so its auto-eroticsm

[kannonblack07]

Siouxsie Sexxx.

[mattess]

the song is a poetic view of eroticism (good old fashioned F***ing). Handcuffed in blood lace and sperm....melting

[swimminghorseman]

thx for the explanation!

Nowadays none of those new so-called punk-rock or post-punk bands would dare to talk so overtly about these things!

well if anyone has a time-machine...let me know!!!

[aschenputtel85]

you can find the information in wikipedia about this song.

[swimminghorseman]

OK,thx. I'm going there right now!

[Batty009]

I Second that.

[swimminghorseman]

Is this song about AIDS?(sorry I don't want to kill the mystical and mysterious mood conveyed by Siouxsie's singing)

[solwolfpunk]

i have a discussion about this song in my groups. Feel free to pop by and offer your opinion.

[SorguesJeff]

Nostalgie magique !
