This song slays me. I know it is about Tiananmen but in my mind and history it goes beyond that moment. This album came out a year before my high school graduation (that I never attended cuz I was so punk) -- and I've carried the songs and sentiment with me almost 20 years later. (Frankly, the realization of that much time passing shocks me.) Hold the whirlwind indeed. Superstition is sadly underrated. Ghost in You is haunting and glorious...and kiss them for me...I may be delayed.

My favorite Siouxsie And The Banshees record although there are certainly great songs on all their albums but this one really does it for me. It's such gorgeous pop music. Off the subject I've always imagined what it might sound like if Siouxsie covered White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. One can dream I suppose.

I agree. This is a great album! The ghost in you still haunts me.

Thanks a lot for sharing one of the most "moving" tracks modern music has ever seen. Thanks a lot!

1992, sitting on my balcony in S. France singing along with my headphones on, unaware that people were stopping and listening. Continuing anyway. I love this song.

@incadove I agree with you... As heretical as it may be, Superstition is my favorite Banshees album too. Downright gorgeous from start to end.

Although, Pity off of Boomerang (The Creatures) is the most beautiful track (from any artist) I can think of.

Of course, there is plenty of great Banshees (and Creatures) tracks, and "pretty" isn't the only gauge of goodness.

Even better than "Kiss them for me ".

@MrFootfree02 Well, you're a rude one, aren't you?

"I seem to know the ghost in you...." - chills me to this very day.

There's always at least one brilliant song on each of their albums!
