Siouxsie and the Banshees - cities in dust

[saranoid]

there's only one Siouxsie. this is my fave Banshees song.

[TheKinky3103]

por que ninguem faz um nova versão desta musica.marilyn manson seria a pessoa certa

[bat115]

Watching the girl with the dragon tattoo opening credits made me think of this video.

[19618024]

She is still a beauty checker out google.images.

[lastday2274]

This is one of the first songs I heard by the Banshees and it blew me away that they were singing about Pompeii...that's when I knew I had to hear more. Glad I did, have loved them ever since.

[SueSnell]

Historical references in songs instead of just lyrics asking you to bang me? What the hell, 80s???

[g1a1h1]

Medusa's classic

[CybrrGrrl]

looooooooVE

[freestyleminibus]

definitely a woman you could lose your mind over

[bryanjones007]

Siouxsie is and always will be the Queen of High Goth.

[NyckeiXXIV]

[DebisisRobustus]

[ignaciojork]

@DebisisRobustus you're not alone... me2

[beautifulneverending]

i did not know that this song was by siouxsie and the banshees.

[theraperance]

This is so mistic, why the new bands and singers can not make magic like the old times?

[willpatmac]

Yeah

[llilloify]

megA- Orgasmoooooo ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­

[iamtrueimage]

After hearing this, Umbrella, and my fave The Sweetest Chill... holy sh*t... I have found my new favorite band. Born in '82, was never very familiar with them (shame, I know) but I think I've finally come home. Awesome.

[vwkafernutjob]

it all makes so much sense..i've been into many genres like electro/rap/hip hop as an adolescent and then to IDM and D and B/ jungle/acid but they never fully engaged me (especially religion and homophobia with rap etc). it's weird that budgie was doing sort of cut up drum patterns in 1986 in a style that meat beat manifesto made popular years later with radio babylon. were SATB partly the foundation of indie also??? and suz herself - iconic. i would also like to marry.only bout 16 yr age diff

[MrAVGTIGER]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HH!!!!!

[kmfdmslut]

There is a band called Man and Machines that does a pretty cool cover of this song.

[78rohan]

sweeeeet

[vickor84]

esta rola esta chida !!

[mattsrage76]

41 people are justin bieber fans and don't know shit about good music!! 

[katoklzmk]

Th 3st song evber written vby a goth bvand abvt a volcanic explosion

[hotlanta35]

@ziocorgan Robert Smith used to be in Siouxi and the Banshees long ago

[MultiDiggin]

It's a shame you can't listen to the song complete as it stops all the time.

[ziocorgan]

GREAT!!!!! THE FEMALE PART OF ROBERT SMITH! :)

[gabeyoung12345]

@ziocorgan :O YOU ARE RIGHT!!

[MsDizzledazzle]

@ziocorgan Robert Smith is in Siouxsie's Dear Prudence music video both have been produced by Hedges!!!

[omiianix]

this is.......GREAT!!!

[BraveTallGoddess]

I adore Siouxsie.

[glennst011]

@BraveTallGoddess

I think Siouxsie is great too. Too bad I'm as as old as her.

No joke there. I just can't stop the years.

[sticklebats]

@glennst011 /me steals the T from your keyboard.

[glennst011]

@sticklebats What's that mean?

[sticklebats]

@sticklebats I meant to imply tears instead of "y"ears.

[tomeeeee1]

Remember when music was an art form, closely tied to cool fasion?

[BayviewFinch]

@tomeeeee1 - Let's all start crying now. Fuck off.  People were saying the same thing back at the time this song came out. They've been saying it forever, Grandpa. Just let the kids listen to what they want to.

[MartyredxMaiden]

@tomeeeee1 those are days long gone :/

[Messylin]

@tomeeeee1 - don't be such a pretentious elitist. Once you start to identify a particular time or group as 'authentic', you yourself become fake and self-conscious.

[Handthatfeedzyou]

Siouxsie and Morrissey

[neonHEARTSbitches]

oh this is just so lovely

[PEREZLINDAANNETTE]

~~THANKS FOR BRINGING BACK THE 80'S FOR ME AND ALL 80'S MOMS..80'S MUSIC AND MOVIES RULE..LIKE ALL MY GOD..NARRLY..HUGS O[O

[SuperJayBird1992]

I've had a crush on Siouxsie since I was little. I don't care how old she is now, I'd marry her tomorrow if she would take me.

[La77a]

@SuperJayBird1992 get in line son!

[losangelee]

@SuperJayBird1992 me too!!!!

[Aw0L74]

@SuperJayBird1992 She's 54

[HalleyHaywirez]

ugh, why do I have to be a teen NOW please god, send me to the 80's, amazing band, siouxsie is beautiful, she's original and she has some voice, would have love to see them live :/

[Ramonajunie3]

@HalleyHaywirez you think that's bad? I'm not even a teenager yet (well next year I'm turning 13)... :3

[mizzrammstein]

I adore this woman ♥ too bad I was born too late and didn't get the chance to see her live... :/

[Hot80s]

awesome

[cnc4ever100]

Her voice just makes me melt... By far the best song they did. Christine is my other favorite...

[BoyfromSevilla]

oh and I've been to Pompeii haha fuck it

[BoyfromSevilla]

how come Danzig PUMPED UP in this link?? haha and who the fuck has a crush on rock and roll music biatches???? jesus, kill all the nerds

[TheWhokilledyou]

great song!

[veverzay]

i still prefer courtney love

[curebaby1]

Love siouxsie and love this song. Its just timeless, all good music is.

[lucascariocaboy2000]

this singer was so hot ana cute

[zuska69]

My favourite song from them.. Siouxsie is amazing :)

[darklyamused]

the songs great and all but in the video doesn't it look like paper and stuff is being thrown at her? just an observasion

[cloudeye7]

Just beautiful! I love this woman.

[juliet1978ful]

Got the chance to dance to this awesome tune and others at Marylin's Backstreet Disco in Pasadena CA, on Sunday nights.-- Marylin's, KROQ, and Rhino Records FOREVER!!!

[w1ck3dz0d1ac]

*****

Thumbs up don't do her justice...

[vingdynasty]

How in the hell can this song get 35 "thumbs down"???

[washington924]

este video ta uma porcaria veja o video oficial.uma bela musica nao pode ficar detonada assim

[zelda1link1zant]

Why were music videos so great back then?

[JennBoop]

@jordanprincessai - Totally agree - Gaga is nothing like Siouxsie or Kate Bush - she is more of a Madonna RIP OFF and a crappy one at that. And the music is nothing a like. Glad to see some of the younger generation appreciating GOOD MUSIC!

[ElizabethHillman2010]

I wonder if this is a past life regression of hers turned into music. And I do firmly agree with "Jordanprincess" I too am sick of corporate manufactured dancing monkeys who stand in front of the microphone and look pretty. The music industry is full of corporate no-talents because all of the artists have gone "Indie" and shone on large recording contracts that sap out the life and soul of artists.

[AWYMARI3HORN]

+this song is so dusty...love! i think she is singing another master piece~

[666ravestar]

ho ever says something wrong about siouxsie you werent there i was HAHAHA morons



[flypapi2envy]

Junkie XL - Cities in Dust brought me to this =)

[TheMusicpreacher1]

@KasanarKa fantásticos,thanks

[crashit007]

GAGA is just the next madonna,complete rip off though, not original at all + she can't even lip sync like it should and she falls alot xD, don't even think she can really sing, though I don't care... enough other music =D

[sftrash]

I love her, but if you want to see "nutty original" Nina Hagen blazed a huge trail previously...

[CptKamikaze88]

Huh? How could anyone possibly compare Siouxsie and the Banshees to Lady Gaga??? Ugh talk about polar opposites.

[barbabear]

What 80's movie is this from?

[veggirl99]

I love Siouxie! her songs are so eccentric and original :D

[IngridBergmanRocked]

I remember this video and this song...LOVE IT:D

[MrJimmypage32]

she is very sexy witch, Yeahhhhh , Please Lord Send me Back to the 80' I don't want to be here on this time Lord.

[NAA5]

This is my favorite Siouxsie song. Excellent. 

[SOHASDEAD]

"I hate the industry even more now, no bands get nurtured anymore. Labels only spend money promoting acts they know will be TOP Ten. I find it offensive spending $2 million on a video."

SIOUXSIE SIOUX

[lucascariocaboy2000]

jordan you are smart and so what

[ronbsmoov]

GREAT airy, edgy, textured sound and perfect vocals...! I wish the music of the 80's would return...!

[KeiteSoares]

Esta música lembra a Val, quando voltava-mos da facu, ela colocava o seu CD de "Músicas Para Dirigir"... =) #Curti!

[GreasyPsycho]

True talent doesn't need autotune. I'm sick of that shit.



[alachode]

hands down, best female voice of the past 40yrs

[ladyobaoba123]

I am a woman,but I have to say she is hot I´d love her if I was a man

[wonderlin1]

She Rocks!!!!!!!!!! This may be later than her "The Scream" record of 1978 that I've just discovered & have played it over & over hundreds of times now!!!!!!!!! Every song is absolute perfection!!!!!!!! She's inflluenced byPatti Smith

[somoving]

Even now, it sounds incredibly modern. Siouxsie & Joy Division slays 

[AudioFixation]

i think i c what u say ... and actually lady gaga pays great tribute to Queen, checkitout

[gunslnga]

jordan princess, you are so brilliantly correct its sickening and...Thank you for voicing my thoughts!!!

[CaliforniaSun1000]

This lady is beautiful with a capital B. Absolutely stunning! That voice. I miss the 80's!

[1968userrgb]

its the story of Pompeii, city destroyed by the vesuvius volcano in 79 A.D.

[Danyhg92]

From now on, marking as spam every comment that has nothing to do with the artist/band in question (you all know who I'm talking about). Doesn't matter if it's to praise the artist (Siouxsie in this case), let's free the web of all those comments. In fact, mark this as spam please.

[TravelAtmosphere]

I'm surprised this video has been on here so long, yet it has so few views.

[pinkinmiami]

33 people just don't get it

[triumphoverevil]

No doubt like me you watched with sadness the destruction of Japan, how chillingly prophetic these words now seem

[HarleyTheMad]

So it seems that 75% of the time, I hear an awesome song at Club and dont know who the hell it is, funny how at least 50% of those mystery songs turn out being Siouxsie and the Banshees, I freakin love them!! 8D

[wsdasda]

Ya L Gaga should be thanking Leigh Bowery what a Ham !

[strellitha12]

33 beaver fans are going to the cities in dust :)

[markoctavio]

@strellitha12 This kind of comments is soooo anoying, if somebody dont like this... who cares!!

[Loobs666]

If Donna Noble had just kept her mouth shut and followed the Doctor none of this Pompeii shit would have happened.... but, oh no, the fucking gobby Cockney tart had to kick off!

[Dominionian]

The meaning to this song is so dark and... (sorta) disturbing, but I love it!

[Hdogization]

Those black eyes and pointy shoe days ... Poko and beer

[ZizziHorrorshow]

A dancing Skeleton!!!

[ZALIZAAAA]

pure awesomeness..

the best way to start a day...

thank you Siouxsie

[AMANTEPOETISA]

i love this song!!!!!really!!!good times of 80´s!!!!

[dethokaymech]

love this song, I first saw it in a video bar in okinawa japan in 1986, and it was a welcome departure from the heavy metal soundtracs that blasted out from the rock bars...

[ewkeane]

@dethokaymech at the A sign bar?

[blackmetalhoward]

this chick should mary Danzig

[thecheatedband2005]

@blackmetalhoward sorry but Danzig is an idiot. The misfits were amazing but Danzig is not Siouxsie's type

[Animatronicon]

@thecheatedband2005 doesnt matter if you like Danzig or not. He has his own festival for god sake (Blackest of the Black)

[PsycReaper]

@thecheatedband2005 Siouxsie and Peter Murphy?

[MrBepruitt]

@PsycReaper hey, crazy thing................Ijust watched Peter Murphy's video Cut You Up and the very next video I looked at was this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[iiimusika]

excelente cancion!!

[solinvictus39]

Siouxsie is a goddess to me and has been for 23 years, but the fact that this song is about Pompeii makes it all the more awesome.

[thetinalyons]

@solinvictus39 And I later also thought of it as a theme song for post 9/11 New York.

[RashRaceway]

dang i love that european sound in the music.

[CaliforniaSun1000]

I woke up this morning...I swear... I heard them bells some where. I was dreaming. No! I was not at the Vatican with the Pope himself. It was Siouxsie and the banchees! Awesome song!

[Downbythewater73]

Great tune. Remembers me a dance competition with a guy, in a little night-club, in small-town France, in 1986. Great times. :-)

[lewisner]

I'll probably get flamed for saying it but Siouxsie looks insanely shaggable in this video.

[vectorviking]

@lewisner is there a Siouxsie video where she doesn't look insanely shaggable?

If so, I don't wanna know. Don't burst my bubble.

[lewisner]

@vectorviking Lolz your bubble will remain intact...there isn't one.

[Araclain]

Why are you comparing Lady Gaga to Siouxsie? Lady Gaga wasnt even born when this song came out

[1974mikeymix]

Gaga is a not talent assclown!!!!!!

[friedrattlesnake]

@1974mikeymix Have you done anything to inspire millions? Then I would say you're the no talent assclown.

[1974mikeymix]

You and Gaga can both eat my ass!!!!

[friedrattlesnake]

@1974mikeymix What a distinguished response, I'm overjoyed that you responded with such ignorance!! :D I take it though you haven't done much with inspiring millions right..? Good job, yay to you!

[1974mikeymix]

@friedrattlesnake you inspire people to fist fuck their asses, that's not saying much either

[friedrattlesnake]

@1974mikeymix ok...ok, if you do mine i'll do yours. crisco!!! hey girl hey!!!!

[cnykee]

[SLAMDANCETHENWO]

Lady Gaga is a meat head royal ass kisser reptilian wana be poo stain on a used rubber glove in the the bathroom at jakie 60 .

[lizzykiss441]

@SLAMDANCETHENWO ha ha, well said

[ernieb1313]

Sioxie was punk, for those who don't know. You can't compare her to Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga is for the new kids. Learn to appreciate good music.

[1Buttonmasher]

This is really good!

[Th3F3rg]

Damn she is hot, and has an amazing voice. Have had it bad for her since Hyena

[jordanprincessai]

I'm so fucking sick of hearing young idiots comparing people to Lady Gaga (well, I'm only 19, but at least I have good taste). My two favorite singers, Siouxsie and Kate Bush, are constantly compared to that moronic corporate puppet just because they're different, quirky, and original. They paved the way for Gaga. The invented quirky, different, and original -the stuff that people think Gaga came up with. All the stupid Gaga fans should be thanking Siouxsie (and Kate), not making comparisons.

[1974mikeymix]

@jordanprincessai

Don't forget Lene Lovich and Nina Hagen

[TheDATsMusic]

@jordanprincessai I agree with you!!!!Lady Gaga?hahahahahahahahahaha.

I'm 40 years old and i appreciate all good taste human beings!!!

I'm also incredibly impressed that you're only 19 years old!!!!!!!!

Bravo!Well done.

[AngelQ420]

@jordanprincessai tell it like it is, man!!!

[oramikleepunk]

@jordanprincessai They only compare what they know from the mainstream world.They lack true music.

[fenderrlee]

@jordanprincessai u r awesome

[sirGiedion]

@jordanprincessai Well said! It's really nice to see someone so young having a great appreciation for true classic talent ~ and 2 for 2 (KB & SS are both magical in their own distinct ways). With your statement, my faith in the younger generation is practically restored ;) Although, I think you're giving LG a bit too much credit. She didn't learn anything original from Kate nor Siouxsie. LG just sounds like rehashed Britney, who in turn was rehashed Madonna! (& only M had an inkling of talent).

[0deefreak]

@jordanprincessai i do agree they have paved the way for gaga and the othe weirdos i like hahaha

[curehead2269]

@jordanprincessai awesome to hear you say this. I'm 34 and grew up listening to Siouxsie and for the life of me cannot understand how people can just overlook the fact that there was once artists out there with real talent creating some amazing music. None of these talentless "corporate manufactured" musicians/puppets can hold a candle to true artists like Siouxsie, Kate, and my favorite band in the entire universe, The Cure. Nobody is original anymore. it's very sad.

[Animatronicon]

@curehead2269 there is plenty of original music out there still..........you just have to dig for it

[BayviewFinch]

@jordanprincessai - Lady Gaga a corporate puppet? LOL. I don't like her music, but I can certainly recognize that she's a talented musician with an open-mind. Why don't you talk to her about Siouxie and Kate Bush. I'm sure she knows a lot more about them than you do. She's probably much more appreciative of them too.

[GZVidz]

@jordanprincessai God I know, Lady Gaga is a pathetic example of how musical taste has devolved in America. She is just a cheap rip off on another overrated no talent all image loser Madonna. While incredible original talent such as Sue is unknown in the US. The whole black hair white make up thing was a form of anti-fashion, a protest against peroxide blonde bimbos so prevalent in pop culture.

[aynarahavok]

Mi contador de recproducción dice que en las últimas 72 horas la he escuchado 96 veces hahahahaha.

[cammo6901]

somehow, no matter what or what genre of music it is there will always be people mentioning lady gaga....let it go. lol

[shutokoupro]

Great song, Junkie XL did a re-make of this song.

[laurenk37]

why the hell is everyone comparing ultimate talent to lady gaga.  How fucking annoying. Please stop it! dont insulte talent

[laurenk37]

why the hell is everyone comparing ultimate talent to lady gaga. How fucking annoying. Please stop it!

[sabalouie2000]

@laurenk37 Those who compare will be haunted with lady gaga videos FOREVER...mmMMAAAAHAHAHAAAaa.

[EbayFigureReviews777]

wow this is my new fav song

[AWYMARI3HORN]

?Beautiful song!!!

[Ryanwoolley]

What a Classic!

JUSTIN BIEBER AND LADY GAGA SHUDNT EVEN HAVE THERE NAMES MENTIONED HERE THEY ARE NOT WORTHY

THUMBS UP IF U AGREE

[docswink]

This is "Lady GaGa" WAY before there was even a Lady GaGa in her Mom's ovaries. Not to mention that Sou and the boys talk about things more important. GaGa is a flash in the pan....at best.

[erica61974]

Brilliant, forgotten just how moch i loved em!!

[erica61974]

Brilliant. love her so much

[helzebub6661]

Can I look up one fucking video on youtube without someone mentioning Lady Gaga, Bieber, or the Johnas Brothers?

[sibeliandrift]

@helzebub6661 Don;t be too hard on them. It's probably the only crap they know...

[gordyuk68]

@helzebub6661 doubt it mate all i see is comments i do it occasionly to be ironic lols

[Wynter192]

@helzebub6661 Sorry, but didn't you just mention Lady Gaga, Bieber and the Johnas Brothers yourself?

@helzebub6661 yep, do what I do, don't read the comments.
