Siouxsie And The Banshees - O Baby (Official Music Video)

[@alejandrogiraldoorozco4075]

Many people consider this song the worst of their career just because it sounds too sweet or soft, and many people have nailed in their minds the idea that S&TB are a goth band. But they are more than that. They have drowned in many different genres and topics throughout their career. They covered the whole human emotional spectrum. This song is about self-esteem and she's singing words that she tries to believe are for herself, as she reflects on how we depend on others to feel good about ourselves. That's represented on the beauty contest. She gets convinced that she needs of other's opinion to feel good about herself, just like the other little girls, but soon she realizes that's all bullshit and starts to throw away the makeup and clothes. They are more than 'Spellbound', People!

[@punkpoetry]

I truly don't give a shit about the "goth" label, but all that nice feelgood chatter about "self-esteem" has very little bearing on how bland this song sounds.

[@shanehill2411]

Well put mate

[@CineResenhas]

*Thank you for this comment about this great song!* 💙

[@MalMotorDedo]

I don't get it, SATB have like 3 "goth albums" aesthetic wise, the rest? Not really, like, since Hyaena they wasn't as dark as before and this is just a result of a years long evolution the band had. I don't know if ppl think The Rapture came a year after Juju or wtf 😂

[@CineResenhas]

@@MalMotorDedo you are so right! Siouxie and the Banshees never was a goth band, as the dumb fans always like to say out loud. I even read an interview that Siouxie Sioux always liked to think about herself as a pop artist.

[@melissamisfortune1703]

I'm this video! So rad to see my 6 year old self in a video by one of my favorite bands. :) Siouxsie and the Banshees rule.

[@imalrockme]

Melissa Misfortune Really? It's a recurring subject between my sister and me, when we talk about music, vids, celeb gossip , etc., we see clips from the eighties and nineties and wonder what it feels like to see yourself in a video. It´s so funny! ( And you are sou lucky! )

[@delpantion6045]

Melissa Misfortune everyone in this video is so cute!

[@elliott1017]

Melissa Misfortune could you tell me what she was saying when she was onstage speaking to the audience?? also, super cool that you were in this 👍

[@beccaxbee]

[@gmcg923]

How many great songs can one band have. They were so underrated.

[@mariacamilacofrelorca4856]

Buenisimo lo amo

[@sakuramatsuriantiques5053]

They were not! It seems the last youtube trend is saying underrated to everything. They are universally considered the most influential band of the post punk period.

[@Kprat-z5h]

The band has a number of music videos, back in the days if you were not famous you'd never have money to make that amount of videos. There was no KZbin or independent artists. The band started in the 70s. They influenced loads of other bands. They're not underrated.

[@gmantramp404]

They had plenty in the late 70,s and early 80,s. Sadly this is total naff..

[@Pauldjreadman]

gmcg923 Have creative freedom ? You can create timeless music. Unlike the last 15 years when it’s instantly forgotten .

[@edwardcroft6066]

I hated this song for so many years, because I couldn't accept handle the difference from their previous work, but I can appreciate it now. Siouxsie is and will always be THE Goddess!

[@crazylikeafox1000]

Love her soooo much! Wow, and what a great song 😉

[@graveyardbaby669]

This takes me back to my middle school years. Such a sweet little tune

[@Anna-vz5jl]

So good

[@davec3901]

I was in Austin, Texas and I heard this on the overhead at a Wendy's and I fell in love. I had to have it.

[@senorblancolaclau]

Unlike most Siouxsie fan's, I actually first got to know them threw this album. I was a music lover, in high school, but the furthest I'd gone into post-punk/goth was one Cure album. I didn't have anything to compare it to, so I listened to it with virgin ears and thought that this album was amazing. Thus started a long journey back further and further into their catalogue loving more and more as I went along. This song brings back great memories.

[@maevacousin7755]

I met siouxsie and the banshees with this album too, I thought it was a female punk group lol, "sick child" was so good that I had to search everything about the band

[@mickrohr8851]

Superstition is where I came in and I saw them live in 1992. It was an amazing show!

[@SIMONPETER777]

The cracks in the ground grin up at me Even the creases in my shoes smile up at me Thought it would end in tragedy But I'm swimming around in your glory O Baby O maybe I'm the lost and found Look at the stars they're raining down Even these jewels want to kiss your crown Don't be afraid it's just your face Has that effect on heavens' treasure case O Baby O maybe You're a paragon I haven't felt this way before Impossible to ask for more Unanswered prayers that went before Lie…

Siouxsie Sioux is a beautiful woman and this is a great song.

[@carljules3123]

A perfect pop single with a twist in it: so un-Banshees and yet so very-Banshees because all their singles are catchy pop songs at heart

[@feli_watch_the_stars]

I hold a special place in my heart for this song… we use to listen to a very tough S&TB but this could be easily mistaken for a Cocteau Twins’ song. That’s range and I think It’s really cool

[@brucetrueasblue]

Souxsie is one of only a handful of 80's bands that transcended that era, and sound as good today as they did then...

[@lunasmith9548]

I love the meaning in this song though. Shes talking about how unfair the beauty pagents are for young girls. I mean look at how she runs away at the end and gets all pissed off that she wasnt pretty enough to get reconized! Shes amazing though

[@38juank38]

I think it goes waaaaay deeper

[@stevendunkley8890]

AHA! I see now and understand that sequence at the end when a young girl runs off down a coridoor which then cuts to Siouxsie in a tiara doing the same. 'Cinderalla girls' indeed as their sash says.Very succinctly and subtly put. She does a better job of addressing the matter than Courtney Love could ever hope to.

[@DonatoDamiano-r2g]

I like this, and that is that!

[@alexiskatsogiannos7468]

Kids and Siouxsie glowing! Both elements are brilliant, or is element the right word? A little easy achieved brilliance with an eyelash under the nose!

[@alexiskatsogiannos7468]

Mind, My mind is wandering, Sioux is always brilliant! This is one of their very best albums!

[@JS-dy9su]

Even at their widely assumed “low” point, Siouxsie and the Banshees delivered a really interesting album, including this video, before their break-up. Their work will never be properly recognized, but I imagine Siouxsie is fine without the industry accolade.

[@punkpoetry]

What's so interesting though about this generic radio-friendly slop though?

[@BSBSDerivative]

@@punkpoetry for a name like punk poetry you seem to be missing the pretty dark symbolism behind this song with the video it has a radio-friendly beat sure, but the lyrics combined with the footage of the girls and child pageants is clearly a comment on how sexualising childhood is kind of normalized through institutions like pageants hence the repetition of the word Baby to refer to a literal young person as well as its romantic/sexual connotation

[@Ignatius1972]

@@punkpoetry there are few really good songs on this record, like the title track and the single "Stargazer". The rest is OK and honest in a good art pop album but it's just so like nothing for Siouxsie and Co. It was time to stop and it was exactly what they did. It's not bad, not at all, but it's generic.

At 1:47 I believe or heard she made the melody of the whole song of her crying for her mother when she passed away. I don't know if it is really a recording of her crying but it does sound like it . That is pretty deep 😪
