Siouxsie has always been and will always be one of the great female vocalists to come out of the Punk era. She has a timeless sound and beauty that cannot be replicated by today's current crop of wannabes, no matter how hard they coerce their sound engineers to do so.
probably the best metamorphosis a music could get into... its virtually another music...and in my opinion one of the best things Siouxsie recorded.. Just love this
She definitely channeled the dark side. Tinderbox is an awesome album that I believe was written about the coming times prophesied in Revelation. Music stars channel the supernatural
If your memory serves you well We were gonna meet again and wait So I'm goin' to unpack all my things And sit before it gets too late No man alive will come to you With another tale to tell But you know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode If your memory serves you well I was gonna confiscate your lace And wrap it up in a sailor's knot And hide it in your case If I knew for sure that it was yours But it was oh so hard to tell And you know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode If your memory serves you well You'll remember that you're the one That called on me to call on them To give you your favors done And after every plan had failed And there was nothing more to tell You knew that we would meet again If your memory served you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode If your memory serves you well If your memory serves you well
They almost didn't release this version. It was not until after they recorded it that they found out it was co-written by Bob Dylan and The Band's Rick Danko. The Band's original version appeared on their 1968 debut, Music from Big Pink.
This track reminds me of great times, going around with my old mates during the 1980s, we would go to a club which would play our sort of music (Siouxie the Cult etc) then we would finish off the night by going to the ruins of Great Witley court in Worcestershire (or simular) during the early hours...then unfortunately most of us 'grew up' and got married etc.....great memories...Siouxie is superb, I don't see any bands with her quality these days in my opinion!
Siouxsie and the boys show up with a great song and a video that looks like a late Hammer horror film. But there needs to be a HD version of this uploaded to RUclips.
probably the best metamorphosis a music could get into... its virtually another music...and in my opinion one of the best things Siouxsie recorded.. The chords and sound atmosphere are a bit transcendental somehow... Just love this
Nineteen years between Julie, Brian & The Trinity's psychedelic gem and this: the Siouxsie interpretation seems fresh and shows new facets to a great song.
Ah man I’d forgotten what a babe Siouxsie Sioux was. When I was a mere sounder of a goth many beers ago Siouxsie was mine, all mine. Fuckin hell those were the good old days
I love her versions of Dear Prudence and The Passenger, but this still leaves me cold. I didn't listen to the original for many years, only to discover that it is a beautifully haunting song. So strange, because Siouxsie is the queen of beautifully haunting...
What's interesting about the Banshees is that they were never an instrument heavy band, yet everything I've ever heard from them, in terms of songs, always had a drum, bass and guitar riff, even for thirty seconds, that's unmistakable. I don't know who's playing guitar here, I can name twenty guitarists in twenty different bands and what they drink and what picks they use, but I can't say they always record something memorable.
I know this is a cover, and just about everyone and their brother-in-law in the music world has done a version of it, but Siouxsie's is The Best and she and her Banshees just about take ownership of this tune, IMO
So do I in fact all Siouxsie's covers in my opinion are better than the originals and some even thought the likes of Helter Skelter and Dear Prudence were The Banshees own songs anyway that show brilliant she is at reworking originals
Hard to compare, but I can't see anything interesting in original Dear Prudence. Of course I understand the importance of The Beatles themselves (although I think that The Kinks were even slightly better), but it just sounds like some hippy boys on acid or whatever grabbed the nearest instrument and wanted to somehow save their memory of some trip. And who knows, if they would still be talked about with the same rate, if it wasn't for Lennon murder?
Although this is the official video - it is monaural, NOT stereo .... To share it, I will have to use one of the other YT versions .... kinda sucks ...
This is a great version. Not as good as the Byrds doing it live around 1970, but better than the Band for sure. Btw, me a huge fan of the Band. I think the version of Dylan singing this (accompanied by the Band) on the Basement tapes album is better than the Band's version on Music from Big Pink. Siouxsies version is certainly quite dramatic with some interesting dynamics. Budgie as usual comes up with sparse and effective drumming.

Just love this
Absolutely Fabulous
Well it's okay I gue-ahh....I totally see what you did there.
have you ever seen a more beautiful group of people singing an awesome song such as this?
Best cover of this song ever!
I always thought she looked like a powerful sorceress.
She definitely channeled the dark side. Tinderbox is an awesome album that I believe was written about the coming times prophesied in Revelation. Music stars channel the supernatural
I love how Siouxsie looks out the back window of the carriage LOL I love Siouxsie!!!!!
Luv the video.Luv Siouxie.Luv the song.The most charismatic singer and band ever.Always a breadth of fresh air.Luv em forever.Absolutely Fabulous.
This was the very first 7" single I bought as a teenager. Still love you Siouxsie! x
2019 still listening to good music 🤩🤩🤩
Blows away Bob Dylan's version
2019
My favorite video of them of all time. That and "Killing Jar"
DLarryable O.K.
Yes, Canada's in the house !!! ‼♥‼
Best cover ever.
Absolutely fabulous!
I'm glad this video is back up. It was taken down a while ago.Siouxsie is so possessive in this video. She is great.
She used to scare the shit out of me as a kid. Now she is my most loved female artist ever
Best version of this song I think to ever have been produced. It just flows much better.
This song makes me feel like I'm floating in space
Love this cover! And Video!
great cover!!!!
I love Siouxsie! She's always been unique, avant-garde, and kickass! :)
that song rips !!!! awesome !!!
If your memory serves you well
We were gonna meet again and wait
So I'm goin' to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
I was gonna confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
You'll remember that you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To give you your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory served you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
If your memory serves you well

She is a Goddess.
Nah, just a woman. But WHAT a woman!!!
I agree. I have always loved this but nowadays it seems to have more prescence than ever!
I just get crazy with the drums of this song! reminds me something like a battle song!
I didn't always like their videos, but this is really one of the best abuses of mid-80's video fade technology.
This track reminds me of great times, going around with my old mates during the 1980s, we would go to a club which would play our sort of music (Siouxie the Cult etc) then we would finish off the night by going to the ruins of Great Witley court in Worcestershire (or simular) during the early hours...then unfortunately most of us 'grew up' and got married etc.....great memories...Siouxie is superb, I don't see any bands with her quality these days in my opinion!
"Bring me..." "A knitting needle?" "A KNITTING NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDLE!" (slap) "Oh!"
great video....thanks for posting!
Siouxsie and the boys show up with a great song and a video that looks like a late Hammer horror film. But there needs to be a HD version of this uploaded to RUclips.
Siouxsie & The Banshees were GREAT in the movie Out Of Bounds
probably the best metamorphosis a music could get into... its virtually another music...and in my opinion one of the best things Siouxsie recorded.. The chords and sound atmosphere are a bit transcendental somehow...
Just love this
this might possibly be better than the original..... but its a close one, they are both great
+pjw85 I was just thinking that this is so good that I actually have no desire to hear the original. I can't imagine it being any better.
pjw85, so odd, I was thinking the exact same thing, as the video loaded!
"Better" is hard but it's so interesting that they heard a Siouxsie and the Banshees song in the original and made it sound this good
Nineteen years between Julie, Brian & The Trinity's psychedelic gem and this: the Siouxsie interpretation seems fresh and shows new facets to a great song.
I agree 100%
very good perfomance :D
Only a yobbo would thumb this down. Just brilliant, pure art by every measure.
one of the best bands ever, siouxsie and the banshees, an exellent cover
Siouxsie é a mulher mais linda da música.
Linda, linda demais.
if your memory serves you well!!
I love this video it reminds of a hammer film I want a carriage like that!
@Daffneyfan Hey hey now! I love THAT show, Siouxsie AND Julie Driscoll's version!
I was all of 15 years old when this was released...... Now nudging the Big 5-0..... #wherehasthetimegone
But can you still get it up?
@EPbabe I think you should bring it all back again! Why the heck not?
Ah man I’d forgotten what a babe Siouxsie Sioux was. When I was a mere sounder of a goth many beers ago Siouxsie was mine, all mine. Fuckin hell those were the good old days
AGREE 150% Siouxsie is such a HOTTIE and a good artist.
I love this video it reminds me of a Hammer film
Similar to the video to Spellbound in some respects
Oh yassss hunny yassssss
yeah!! I agree with you!!
Silly me, I never realised that THIS song (re-done by someone else) was the same song as the beginning of "AbFab".
@Mr1991ladarius That was Julie Driscoll's cover, it's here,look it up, it's actually really good.
I love her versions of Dear Prudence and The Passenger, but this still leaves me cold. I didn't listen to the original for many years, only to discover that it is a beautifully haunting song. So strange, because Siouxsie is the queen of beautifully haunting...
There are not many things better than Siouxsie!!
now i wonder if there was a video for their 'little johnny jewel' cover
Siouxsie has such raw charisma. This is one of many covers from _Through the Looking Glass_ that are superior to the originals.
I know I've done a good job as a parent when I hear siouxsie on my daughter's playlist😅
awesome
Why can't people seem to live a music genre without hating on everyone else for once?
Siouxsie said if she had known it was a Dylan song (she despised him), she wouldn't have recorded it.
classic!!
@subg88
LOL yes, because we both know that it was Bob Dylan ;)
The song can be found on The Basement Tapes LP.
Out of all the covers of this song, I have to say this is my fave. I almost like it better than Dylan's original version! Hehe! :)
What's interesting about the Banshees is that they were never an instrument heavy band, yet everything I've ever heard from them, in terms of songs, always had a drum, bass and guitar riff, even for thirty seconds, that's unmistakable. I don't know who's playing guitar here, I can name twenty guitarists in twenty different bands and what they drink and what picks they use, but I can't say they always record something memorable.
not punk, not new wave, not gothic, a very unique band and a very unique talent !!
We miss you !!
Why was the video taken down?
There's nothing wrong with it and it's Siouxsie!
Who doesn't love such a Goddess?
I know this is a cover, and just about everyone and their brother-in-law in the music world has done a version of it, but Siouxsie's is The Best and she and her Banshees just about take ownership of this tune, IMO
Amen to that!
a classic
too good
Publicidad RECONCHESUMARE loco... NO NOS INTEREEESA!!!! Grande Sioux!
@RDBeatnik she wore that for show, she isn't really a Nazi or anything
what a great song........She is absolutely gorgeous......I d love to play my bass next to her
P E R F E C T
yessssssssss!
No need to watch the VHS tape of Siouxie's music videos, they are all here now.
Best cover version ever!
@infinitefathom no, I think this is the best version of it, Siouxsie did an excellent job with it
@PatrickDC202 wow. VERY VERY well said, sir.
So do I in fact all Siouxsie's covers in my opinion are better than the originals and some even thought the likes of Helter Skelter and Dear Prudence were The Banshees own songs anyway that show brilliant she is at reworking originals
Hard to compare, but I can't see anything interesting in original Dear Prudence.

And who knows, if they would still be talked about with the same rate, if it wasn't for Lennon murder?
Yes you are.
Looking at Siouxsie's outfit, I can't help but imagine that Selena watched this video at one point.
Song was written by Bob Dylan.
another dylan great
FIRE
back then music was 'art'
looks like the footage from spellbound
Obviously the intention!
NEW WAVE OLD FASHION
@seahorse19007 They both deserve to be there.
Although this is the official video - it is monaural, NOT stereo .... To share it, I will have to use one of the other YT versions .... kinda sucks ...
true
still is
why you mention her in here?
ab fab!

dont talk shit..the birds version is pure shit u fking hippie
i guess you know which is the original
I love her Cruella D'Evil look at 1:57 and 2:27
LMFAO:0) I couldn't have said it better myself.
ithis is one of thefew cases wher i like the cover better than the original
Although this video is lame, the song is from one of the best cover albums "Through the looking glass"...
she should ve teamed teamed up with kate bush back then .... fits like hammer to nail both their styles !!
