Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Spellbound"

There is a lot of yellow in this Siouxsie and the Banshees video. A lot. Regardless, this song about being a little kid is the kind of thing that Siouxsie and the Banshees do really well. They know how to make their songs feel powerful and meaningful while giving the listener a sense of personal fulfillment. There is a reason why these people, particularly Siouxsie Sioux, herself, are goth icons.

Siouxsie and the Banshees - "The Killing Jar"

As we all know, Siouxsie and the Banshees are incredible. As such, I have to show you their music videos from time to time. Here's one about trapped beauty, "The Killing Jar".

Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Dazzle"

We should face facts and know that know discussion of goth is really complete without mentioning Siouxsie and the Banshees. "Dazzle" seems like a good song. We'll go with that.

This may be so eighties, but I love it. And Siouxie can move, too. The beat is really strong for that time, too, when much of the synth-based music was more sweet-sounding synthpop. The video clearly makes you think you're getting new wave, but you almost "suffer" a bait-and-switch. To those of you who are old school goths, there's nothing I could say about this video that would qualify as a novel statement, but for those of you who are in other portions of the goth-industrial spectrum, this is something of a treat, in my opinion.
