Siouxsie and the Banshees - Red Light

[@rbdcreative9362]

I was a gothic teen in the 80s so Siouxsie was my idol. She's iconic!

[@vampirascoffin870]

🕷️🥀🧛‍♂️⚰️🖤🖤

[@agonzo8438]

What a surprise.

[@Abielunaine]

Im 12y old and i know so lot about her. Todays music is shit and goth genre is so much better

[@Mr.Bryan1234]

@@Abielunaine true all that rap bullshit is shit i only listen to darkwave , opera , heavy metal , death rock

[@nicholasramsey5331]

I hear you! Even Shirley Manson from the band "Garbage" said that Siouxsie was her Idol and Hero!

[@JohnnyMusashiShow]

I worked her stage show at the Masquerade in Atlanta several years ago - she is one of the most kind and gracious people I've ever met. Truly a super star.

[@losghost]

I saw Siouxsie in at the tower theater in philly back in 91. A bouncer was a little too rough with some peeps in the front row. She stopped the show and threatened to jump down and kick the security guys ass. No exaggeration. All time favorite artist for both her style and substance.

[@hudsonsirheshicks2653]

That lo fi, early 80’s, dark razor sharp synth vibe shining through... What’s not to love?

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

But I wonder what it would've sounded like with a staccato electric piano part (a la Toto's "Hold the Line") layered on top of it?

[@kimmradd]

Watching her perform Red Light in concert is positively life changing!

[@benedettobruno1669]

Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Siouxsie And The Banshees and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.

How true,Mr Bruno.Britain's creativity,originality,and humor are national treasures.

[@drewswann137]

You're welcome.

[@jmack8767]

Benedetto, I see your comments on so man of these songs, why do you not make a playlist on your channel? It would be great to see your favourites.

[@benedettobruno1669]

@@jmack8767 J Mack, I am more interested in thanking those bands before I die rather than publishing what my favourite songs are.

[@Lunatasma]

One of my favorite songs on this album. It's so seductive yet dark compared to other parts of the album.

[@mellens80]

Song holds true more now in the age of social media and reality "stars".

[@SeeYourStar]

Yes Mary I hear ya!! or facebook follies lol

[@myfragilelilac]

True that

[@jmack8767]

It was bad back then. It's worse now. way, way worse.

[@MrDLOC11]

Queen Siouxsie holding court in the dark room is one of the great goth crown jewels of all time ... ICONIC

[@mrrybicki]

In the late 80's, I would play this in a darkroom while print for 12 hours straight. Excellent choice!

[@lafayettedad]

I remember dancing to this at Knott's Berry Farm's "Studio K" in the 80s....smoking cloves, black eye liner, layers of black flowing clothes, singing out loud every word...good times

[@hidefmatt]

Saw this live on the peepshow tour at the Portsmouth Guildhall, for every shutter click there was a huge strobe effect, and over the course of the gig Siouxsie's hair went from teutonic bob to wild mane. A good gig.

[@sabalouie2000]

Beautiful goth undertones, One of the coolest videos ever.

[@soranemo]

This music video has reinforced my will to live.

[@TheHouseAlwaysWins20]

You still here?

[@neurophobicnperfect]

One of their best songs by far.

[@batmanbill1]

I wanted to share this with a young lady that doesn't know how important this band is ! Siouxsie , Budgie and the many members of the Banshees, (Robert Smith of the Cure inluded) Gave us a band that was unlike the Sex Pistols and quite unique and still considered punk when it first came out!

[@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747]

There first few songs were straight up punk: Hong Kong Garden, Love in a Void, Jigsaw Feeling, their cover of Helter Skelter. But even from their debut they started experimenting with more complex structures like Switch and by the time Kaleidoscope came along, they had distanced themselves from the strictly punk sound.

[@transmissionmusic]

Do you know that at the beginning, Sid Vicious from the Sex Pistols was their drummer ? 😀

[@batmanbill1]

@@transmissionmusic yes I did know that.

[@chadradford2215]

That synth is so evil!

[@MokkaMatti]

But yet so delicious, in its "evilness".

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Even if that were a MiniMoog, it probably would still have sounded just as nice.

[@Mr.Johnstown669]

First thought of Soft Cell when I heard this just as dark and evil as Sex Dwarf LOVE this song

[@Hartmania21]

Yamaha CS15

[@mistertadpole]

Word, couldn't quite place it at first-was so impressed with many elements of Sant's album-she really pays hommage to so many artists I grew up on-including the lovely Sioux!

[@GuyThatBites]

"Kaleidoscope" is a very interesting album and lot of good songs there.I like this camera sound in the song. Nice mood. I love early Siouxsie.Thanx.

[@grinderman77]

The music track is simple but at the same time oh so powerful. A wonderfully written track. I'd live for 200 years and I still wouldn't be able to compose a song as good as this one. Anybody can write a song but adding magic to it is another thing.

[@mrt0724]

i saw this song live at the wiltern theater when they came to LA . what a treat ! siouxsee rules !

[@susanoneil1]

This is true Siouxsie fan music, it doesnt get better than this. You cant begin to describe what it feels like haering these songs and being a fan. We are blessed to have had her!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gixxerboy555]

THATS HER BEST SONG....OMG I LOVE IT......

[@VenusAsABoyFilms]

the beat of this song just blows me away...I can't believe it...this song is so good.

[@S_E_R_]

This song just makes me have a strange sensation in my spine, and I don't think age matters when it comes to liking certain music. I'm 13 and I love Siouxsie, Morrissey, Bjork, Kraftwerk and all that great stuff! My parents have good taste...

[@djbethell]

This was for me the perfect song on that album. A new take on the electronic minimalism of The Normal. Brittle, sharp but incredible pop! And a great dance song too.

[@madsketcher]

nothing like watching this at 6am after not getting any sleep... pure art!

[@Irene-xz9xp]

My fav Siouxsie song 📸🖤

[@gunnarkarlhalldorsson92]

One of the greatest videos of all time! CLASSIC

[@illmsg77]

siouxie is the most beautiful entity to ever grace this planet

[@Stiggy333]

Why are people talking about Madonna on every Siouxsie video? I've been a huge fan of both women for years and years and have never noticed any similarities between the two!

[@stevistarfyre3227]

This sound is turning it.love her music..can't get enough.

[@exeuroweenie]

Enjoy then,she's done a lot of her music over time.

[@Franco_André80]

Happy Birthday Siouxsie!!! 🖤

[@NihilismDystopia]

I love this song,brings back so many memories,they don't make music like this that was magical time for music in the 70's and 80's ,never to be repeated again,I'm so glad I was alive to experience it and live through that time.

[@remylov661]

Such a dark and enigmatic song. Makes me want to randomly pose in various positions wearing fashionable clothes.

man this song takes me back to the old goth club days... slinking around in the fog, pointy boots and clove cigarette in hand... =)

[@alexpilgrim8248]

I love the after-hours, underground feel of this video.

[@aryebognar6663]

: D

[@tcorc324]

I don't understand why people are saying "music today sucks!!" That's not true at all. Keep looking--you WILL find something you like. Siouxsie & the Banshees didn't sound like ANYONE from their own era; you can make comparisons to The Cure, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, etc.. but at the end of the day, Siouxsie, and ESPECIALLY a song like this, is BEYOND time period. No music, from before Siouxsie or after, will ever sound like this.

[@OrcyantZ]

Love this song, classic lyrics, love the camera sound, beautiful.

[@hobbit151]

I like this video, its one of a kind! so 1980 retro look!

[@BillyRichie]

i wish i was alive in 1981. this is amazing

[@73kdt]

I think this is my favourite song of all time.... ever!

[@mrt0724]

I am so glad to have grown up In the late 70s and 80s siouxsee Is the coolest and that era of music rocked !

[@ChannelSTA]

For a video with an obviously low budget, it's extremely stylish and goes with the song perfectly! GO SIOUXSIE! GO SIOUXSIE! SIOUX! SIOUX! SIOUX! SIOUX!

[@nurEva]

great song,absolut kult,elektro-oldshool,immer gern gehört..DKB-POSSE.BERLIN germany

[@darkstar8799]

My sister's freshman year roommate was English and had this on vinyl -- I thought it was amazingly cool then, and I still like it today. Ahead of her time, in both sound and style.

[@StrummerLivesxxx]

100% agree. Music nowadays just isn't the same.

thank god for people like you keeping it real!

Siouxsie forever!

[@mattk1971]

I saw them live in 1988 and they unexpectedly played this one..f**king brilliant!!

[@jasmoran66]

This album and this track defines their career. Morris and McKay left and things could've ended there. But they finished the tour with Smith, and did Kaleidoscope with synths, drum tracks, and a couple of blokes named Jones and McGeoch. The rest is history.

[@xadiko69]

what an artist....the greattest

Perfection and Genius

[@izzyhawker4717]

i love listening to this song in photography lessons x)

[@guigne01]

It seems no one else finds this song to be as gloriously sleazy-sounding as I do... but those are the words that spring to mind! And, by the way, that is not a slight, it's praise for the ambiance!

Now that is AWESOME! Cool memory. :)

[@marquillos1]

Cuando la escuche no pense que fuera tan vieja la cancion, muy buena rola!!!

[@fantasticcaptain]

This was the inspiration for my 1986 art O level exam, sadly it resulted in a D grade. Classic 80's alternative track though.

[@AmbitiousOutsider007]

one of my personal favourite Siouxsie songs/videoclip, nice!!! :-)

[@busterabcat]

A long time ago, I once had a band called The Kodak Whores which I named after the lyric in this song. There were three of us and then after one year we changed the name - well, just one letter actually, to The Kojak Whores, in tribute to Telly Savalas who had just died in 1994. Anyway, SATB remain probably my all time favourite group, ever. ...... Their albums and singles are ALL fantastic, wish they were given more recognition even after all this time.

[@cnykee]

Love the use of the synthesizer in this song. Can be from Forbidden Planet or Holloween (original), sets such a great mood for the lyrics.

[@theauspex]
