Lyrics below:
Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing, singing
Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That's why they're singing, singing
Waiting for a sign to turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth, turned bitter in its glass
Israel, in Israel
Israel, in Israel
Shattered fragments of the past
Meet in veins on the stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm
Red and green reflects the scene
Of a long forgotten dream
There were princes and there were kings
Now hidden in disguise, cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your hearts alive with a song from inside
Even though we're all alone
We are never on our own when we're singing, singing
Home, home
There's a man who's looking in
And he smiles a toothless grin
Because he's singing, singing
See some people shine with glee
But their song is jealousy
Their hate is clanging, maddening
In Israel, will they sing Happy Noel
In Israel, in Israel
Israel, in Israel
In Israel, will they sing Happy Noel - Hudba
In a concert in Portugal, she cross eyes with me...magic moment i remember it until now, almost 40 years later.
hey i get it//////////////////
You're so lucky!

John McGeogh RIP. One of the most underrated guitarists ever
Indeed. Played with many bands..
and plumber
Iconic sound
@@jprw In a nut shell, genius
Absolutely, played with my two favourite bands, the Banshees and Magazine - which can't be a coincidence.
One of Siouxsie's best songs of all time. And very relevant!
YES !
However pop music isn't a good place to get information from Hong-Kong Garden Chinese and Yen, China has Yuan. As a pop tune it's good agreed
@@timolanteala-brown9608 It's really old now . Be interested to know which way Sioux swings now . I think we know .
Stop with the political BS. Listen to the lyrics it's not about Governments BS. Grew up on Siouxsie and the banshees etc and am so over music like theirs etc being a stalwart for an agenda 20 years in the the future.!!!!
@marypoppins123 israel palestine conflict has been happening since 1946, it was a contemporary issue
also its been 40 years
The rhythm section, the groove, Siousxie’s vocals, the production, it’s magic and stands the test of time still. Powerful gear.
She looks damn sexy too.
Cannot argue with that. Superb.
Well that's about as much in a nutshell as it gets 🖤🏴 happy healthy peace ✌️
Exactly, song swings that Offra Hassa.
You aren't from the north east by chance are you haha?
She used to scare me as a kid. Now I unconditionally love her
Same. I only got into this band a few months ago and I adore Siouxsie's fearless originality.
She's scary because she's a dude.
You must date strange men

RIP John
I'm so grateful that I was young in the late 70's and 80's.
Unbelievably wonderful 🖤💙🖤
Indeed
Absolutely, I was early teens and had the pleasure of listening and seeing these bands first hand
I'd prefer being young right now. But the late 70's and early 80's comes a close second.
@@healingenso7923 I definitely wouldn't want to be young nowadays with the way the world is at the moment.
Very messy, complex and weird. I preferred the simple life🙂
Old ahh 😂😂😂😂
The instrumentation on Israel is simply BEYOND. The subtle intro into the build up of a magical array of sounds which get you dancing to a post punk meets post disco rhythm and the PHENOMENAL drum work from Budgie is simple incredible. How I ADORE Israel to the sand and back +
Not to mention the aesthetics of the band. Wholly unique in every way 🖤
Littleorphans full of grass and their heads rightup their arse , windging , windging . .... x
PALESTINE
Yes, absolutely perfectly crafted song
I know Kenny Morris well ( original Drummer)
I love how everyone's looking goth and then there's Budgie just living the full-on 80s fantasy
You do know that Goths didn't exist in the 70's buddy....she was punk, when Punk was punk not the modern junk
@@williampoulter2679 history of goth culture by TED Education, look it up
punk is dead, no more to say
@@gammakeraulophon you sound like old
@@gammakeraulophon really the only thing that is resurrecting is the appearance of new bands of Darkwave and Synthpop
I grew up, got old and I am still in love with this woman. This voice is eternal. I want to see all of them together on stage.
There is a little problem because of the guitarist.....
Used to scare me.
I love how she sings flat on the loud notes. It's part of their sound and it is wonderful
I love how Siouxsie Sioux looks in the video
she looks like a man
Love her.
Stoned?
she looks awful in this video, she looks like a man in drag, with a wig thrown on.
Yes, I prefer this look than the hyper glamorous
Way ahead of its time. The voice, the bass, the guitars & the drums all fit together, perfectly.
So ahead - they were even social distancing
YES ! I am not a Banshee fan but this song is special. Easily the best work of many. The lyrics are fascinating too. They provide the illusion of a key; Israel, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
@@effinmaniac9633 With quality.
Good music is timeless
Yeh a great band with an iconic powerful beautiful woman fronting em up
This was the way real classics were made. Still cool in 2023!
I was obsessed (and I mean it) with Siouxsie as a young teen. Definitely became the weirdo of my class, but I wouldn't change a thing. I'm older now and I like different music, but I'll never forget how this moved me. It has tremors of what I can only describe as something ancient and spiritual. I'll definitely come back to this every now and then, simply because it's art.
Some obsessions are healthy.
And what do you like now?
bro im 17 an im doing the same that you lmao,
im 15 and same@@emilio262
Good taste 😊
Goth possibly, but definitely the best punk band of the 70's and 80's. followed them since I was 15 now 57 and its still the best music.
Great staying power Dude !
Me: 53
@@rubberplantsandwich 51 😁
Not better than Sex Pistols though!
@@pallew6898 I'll have half of what you've been taking 🤪
Amazing bassline. One of the best songs ever made.
👍
Outstanding, the rest stands alongside perfectly, to make a masterpiece.
If you are ginger and got blue eyes you should marrie someone like that to have blue eyed ginger kids cause its very rare

This woman’s voice is lovely
If you are watching this you are cool, congratulations
Hey
Merci!!! 🎉thank you I thought I was forgotten ❤
The guitars are so beautiful in this.
love her melancholy goth other-worldly voice
Hello my cuzzy. Yeah you're so right. Beautiful stuff.
It really was. She transports me to elsewhere. She definately has star quality xx
the finest, god i love him.
In these last months of watching the signs for when rapture might occur this song was most helpful.
All the turmoil and confusion of this world MUST end. This current war and chaos is a burden the world will NOT be able to carry much longer.
maranatha.

I'm still crushin
Mine too and I'm a straight female 😆
Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing, singing
Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That’s why their singing, singing
Waiting for a sign
To turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth
Turn bitter in it’s glass
Israel, in Israel
Israel, in Israel
Shattered fragments of the past
Meet in veins on the stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm
Red and green reflects the scene

There were princes and there were kings

Cannot belive what she is on about ! Isreal and her previous use of the swasticka . Isreal being the most fashistah c$unts on the planet > p.s. do not mention Palestine !
@@treeza55 SIOUXSIE: "No it's not about religion as such, it’s more general. A disillusioned person, or whole race who’ve ceased to understand or believe in what they held to be the truth. It tries to put across, you shouldn’t cover what you feel inside by teaching or attitudes imposed on you. It emphasises the strength of the individual." Source: Sounds 28/02/81.
So basically it is about questioning your beliefs and don't just follow things that are forced on you by authority.
Free Palestine!
To me this is about survivors of the Holocaust going to Palestine and then imposing the Nakba and over decades slaughtering Palestinians, ethnically cleansing them and to all intents and purposes practising genocide upon them. She even sings about the colours of the Palestinian flag.
Latvia this is also! Legends of myths of kings and stories of made up of long gone past - based on true stories written by Germanic merchant monks and some Latin guy.
@@Shukri-The-Great n
There band that the 80s could not have been without.
This song is simply incredible.Masterpiece.😊
How Suzie takes 5 pieces of clothes, all black, and makes them look both really sexy and cool / stylish is beyond me! superb video and song & album
Sounds fresh. Still mystical and mysterious. Legendary song.
The Brits man... they make the best music.
Yes :)
Dude, I'm into 60-70-80-90's-2000's pop, rock, blues, psychedelic, metal, trip hop, hip hop, stoner rock etc, it'smore like UK 70% of all good music, 20% USA and 10% all the rest.
yes they do
Juan Perez
Lol, «Justin» Bieber ?
About Germans, you're right though, I've personally bought a lot of german bands CDs for my collection.
Good of you to to say so :)
At the same time, I'd have to hand it to a few artists from the US (Mary-Chapin Carpenter and Alan Jackson, to name just a couple) whose songs This Is Love and I'll Try have literally brought me to having tears pouring down my face.
That can be the power of music, no matter who makes it :)
I was 14 years old when she came to perform in Israel in 1983, I took a bus from my city to Tel Aviv to seethe performance at the Dan Cinema and it was magical, I was mesmerized by it and especially from her voice and presence... It's an experience that goes with me to this day, amazing,
Thank you siouxsie ❤❤❤
I was there too, remember that day.
I just wanna ask, is Siouxie Jewish by any chance?
@@garycox9341Jewish dad
@@Puffaball thanks for that!
I remember hanging out in Eilat and listening to this song at night while looking out over the Gulf of Aqueba. Such a great song!
Siouxie must have lived a thousand of lives. An old soul.
She's an amazing song writer and story teller
I'm addicted to this song. Have to listen to it at least 3x a day.
Me too

Not everyone, not everyone is being mistreated, not everyone is being ignored by the whole world and the international law, let's not say free everyone. Yet free Palestine!!
@@ilovemitskism6645 the ignorance is insane with this one. i live in the west bank, i can tell you that kalkilya is a very beautiful place, but it's quite dangerous because teens both palestinian and israeli love playing with fireworks and firecrackers lol. no apartheid, just blatant wariness and racism.
Amen!
The genius of John McGeoch raised everything he ever played on to a higher level. What an understated gentle man. Always remembered and always missed.
John McGeoch…what a legendary guitarist.
Why? Honest question, I know a lot of music, but nothing about making it. Sounds awesome but not difficult or so.
Because he's one of the most influential guitarists of his generation and inspired many other guitarists that followed including Johnny Marr. Listen to him playing or do a bit research on him and you will see why he was so different and great. He is sadly missed
His résumé speaks for himself : "VISAGE", "MAGAZINE", "SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES", "PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED"...A LEGEND FOR SURE !!!
@@lennertcornette you answered you're in question. 'Sounds awesome" that's the important part not how difficult it is.
@@adamwilcox6405 So it's only about the sound, not how difficult the part is, in order to call a guitarist 'great'?
She saved my life back in the 80s. Thank you lovely. ;-)
Even though we're all alone, we are never on our own, when we're singing ❤
czcams.com/video/xGYqdQ0tmoU/video.htmlfeature=shared
I stand with Israel 🇮🇱 never alone ❤
Can't believe this track is 40 years old today #feelingancient
I feel I'm too young to listen to songs like this
💯
@@user-tj2rt3bi4p Check out her use of the swastika . Bleeting about Isreal . Do not mention Palestine
Then that makes me, huh, ancient!
That realisation has made me feel old. I was 18 when it came out!!! However feeling blessed to have lived through the greatest decades for music (60s till the 80s)...just my opinion, of course.
I love that bass
+Keisy Werner that bass sound plus her voice made me want to invade England.. a few years ago.. so i did
+chelo z. i' m away now..so glad i made it those years
Looks like Cocteau Twins bass !
Those days the bass was played that way by several bands. Joy Division/New Order played also high note flanger bass :)
the same feeling driving my taxi every Sunday night...
this bassline is beautiful
This girl the most beautiful one. This band an Emmotionnal cataclysm! A ne pas rater!
’
I listen to Israel about 10 times a day! Never tire of it.
One of the most powerful female singers of the time , gotta love Souixie Souix
To say that Souixsie & the Banshees have survived the test of time would be a massive understatement … it just gets better …
So elegant she looks dressed in black! The Queen of Punk Rock! 🖤🖤🖤
‘sexy pointed star’
❤
I thought that was Toyah(she still seems to think so!).
i'll never get bored of listening to this, it's haunting
Yeeeeows, Nicely said.
Absolutely right. It's mesmerising
It’s fantastic the way the instrumentals are crafted around Siouxsies vocals. They carried that legendary unique sound for 20 years, yet every song is a totally different work of art.
Where everyone is liquorice, Budgie went bubblegum all the way ! Amazing song.
Every now and again i get this haunting sensation which is accompanied by this song. There’ something truly brilliant about this song
That McGeogh guitar sound...WOW exquisite ! Cool looking Severin's bass guitar is also good. This was their best musical period.
Love that bassline, that dark... threatening kind of tune...
me encanta
judderman37 ! I love it, too!
It sounds totally unhinged!
I'm having a blast playing this bass line. It hits home. I totally admit I knew very little about the band a few weeks ago, and yet it took me a few secons to want to jump on it.
Się zgadzam, genialny bass
Sounding profound and means so much more now than it did in the 80s. Absolutely Spot On and should be No.1.
Is this about the Palestinians?
Nope
Still gives me goosebumps. Everytime. Everywhere.
40 years later. Still sounds fresh (kinda).
Whatcha mean "kinda"? This cannot go bad, it's fresh for eternity.
@@lnbni Actually yes .
Good music always stands the rest of time.. Sadly most the crap these days wont thanks to Simon high trouser wearing idiot Cowell and the like.
what do u mean kinda this is music history
Real UK 80 Goth Rock started here, as pure artistic expression, without intending it. God save the Ice Queen. Forever Siouxsie
A work of genius. As a musician, you can try but you'll never come up with something as original as this. It's got a totally unique vibe to it
The vocals intertwined with that sick bass line… haunting & gorgeous
cant beat 80's bass,haunting and brilliant
Grateful for having been young in the 80s and being able to listen to this band's sound and have the chance to listen and enjoy good times still......
My first concert in my life almost ended in tears The Banshees split up in Aberdeen and it was first ever date too lol. Robert Smith of the Cure saved the day and the rest was history and he saved my date too lol.
the drums and bass...epic
At 56 years old I often find myself searching for something new, but never find it. I then dig through my old vinyl and CDs and CZcams favs of the last 20 years, yet apart from the odd bit of Killing Joke I always come back to the Banshees circa 80-82. Siouxsie's looks and voice, McGeoch's genius, Budgie's tribal rhythms and Severin steady as ever. I doubt for that brief period of time there has been anyone better.
Robert Smith!
It's truly amazing stuff.. and a great time in history
@@user-dw2xh7sh2i In my humble opinion the best work of Robert Smith as a musician was his contribution to Siouxsie and the Banshees, especially 82-84 period. The Cure was actually influenced by S&TB, not the opposite direction.
@@szarzyniecszczurzynski1902 I'm not ready to support you. Robert was only an accompanist in the Banshees, and in The Cure he became a "personal Jesus"!
Belting baseline, soaring lead guitar, Budgie's driving percussion and then Siouxsie... perfection!
Hello from 2023. Sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday. So fresh.
Hauntingly beautiful, still sends shivers up my spine 40+ years after first hearing it.
She looks so eerie and mysterious in this video, I don't know but she hypnotize me, like I've watched this video so many times. I love them
Go Goth. It beckons you.
I've been hypnotized by Sioux and I love her and everything she does!
Happy birthday siouxsie x
Finally. I've been looking for this song off and on, over the years. I like it.
This is why the 80s was the best era for music. Bands like this, Bauhaus, Depeche Mode, The Cult, The Cure, Psychedelic Furs, Joy Division, Spear of Destiny, even The Stone Roses.
So true my friend
And that's just a narrow selection of muscial styles. The 80's saw music pushed out in every direction, from Hip Hop, to Hardcore Punk, Thrash Metal, Death Metal, Chicago House, Techno, and a whole lot more. The development of musical technology leading to experimental creativity, combined with a musical grassroots that was allowed to grow and flourish before big money came to absoluely dominate the music industry and make it difficult for smaller artists to keep their heads above water.
Yes all from Uk 🇬🇧
Siouxsie has to be one of the most charismatic performers that has ever existed in the history of music .. The band and the songs ( like this classic ) were brilliant too, which all adds to the effect .. But seriously, she has such an unbelievably magnetic stage presence .. What a legend !
Concordo !
Beautiful❤
I love Siouxsie,,she was way out there,and totally ahead of her time , her and Debbie Harry defined an era of great female Artists...
McGeoch’s picking style fit perfectly with the Banshees sound. Their best lineup by a mile and I can hear the influence on Johnny Marr’s guitar playing.
And the picking style on Israel obviously influenced what Robert Smith played on the song Fascination Street
@@carljules3123 100% true
Good to hear players like Frusciante saying that they were influenced by McGeoch.
Love his work with PiL too.
My total fav song of theirs. They opened with it in Brighton in 1980 I dont think I have ever sweated so much at a gig
I still get goose bumps after 35 years. A mythical song, beautiful, perfect.
Siouxsie and the Banshees are merely an all-time great band. Getting better with each passing decade. Hopefully they won’t be too much of a secret for the new generations.
Unfortunately it is so even now, people do not get the Netflix Wednesday dance was based on Siouxsie Sioux choreography.
Great song!
She is beautiful..what a bass line ❤
Banshees deserved to go gold in 1980-81. They had written masterpieces more than other bands... Post wave/post punk at its best
Man they were a good band!
Yes they really were
Got to see them live in 1981 and they opened with this song.
@@Juan Perez Why? Talking heads were really good.
@Juan Perez Talking Heads were great.
And the Stranglers best two bands of the last 40 years
One of the best, though underrated, drummers ever, along with S. Morris of NO.
The undisputed Queen of Punk. Everything about her was just right. The look, voice, psychedelic or gothic fashion, and the repertoire. 👍
Poly Styrene was more punk tbh. Siouxsie was part of the Bromley Contingent but her music was never particularly punk. A founder artist of goth music, but like, if you look at The Damned, their early stuff is punk AF, and Dave Vanian was rocking the proto-goth look even back then, before their music became mellower & darker. X-Ray Spex were way more punk than Siouxsie and the Banshees.
@@Skiamakhos - Beat me to it. Poly had the strongest voice I ever heard and going from Oh Bondage! to Germfree Adolescents is am amazing range. But still, I was 17 and always wanted to be Siouxsie.
I'll never forget the goosebumps when heard this song first time on underground club in Tel aviv at the 80'.She become my Idol. Gen X girls Forever keep their Siouxie soul. music have no borders
Love & peace from Israel fans
We are still here!
Did she not wear a certain emblem sometime ?
She’s Jewish
One of the best bands in the world!
Spectacular musicianship. Just wonderfully fresh, all these years later.
Their musicianship definitely set them apart from the also-rans . This is seriously crafted ; minimalist but intricate , catchy and haunting . That this got into the charts is reflective of a better era .
This is one of the greatest tracks ever created and definitely in my top 50 all-time faves. The craftsmanship is exquisite.
Love the bass line to this.
Temazoooo....el bajista la rompe...y Siouxsie es la reina oscura de siempre
Severin es severo bajista
y la guitarra wn. La guitarra de ese wn les dio sus mejores albumes.
Yea deep song. Has such a different meaning as I listen some 30 years later. I was lucky to see them at a show. They were even better live.
44 YEARS LATER
This is the best siouxsie ever looked, right makeup, right hair, right clothes and excellent song! ❤❤❤
Siouxsie Sioux, mulher incrível, ícone de um estilo atemporal. 🖤
Ela é maravilhosa, cheguei aos 50 e só faço ouvir Siouxie, Mission ...uma obra de arte.
Yes
Insuperável
New pós tudo! A mais incrível de todos os tempos!
Com certeza.
Sublime ....... sound of my youth 🖤💙🖤
She a goth goddess and that voice is so next level I really got shivers down spine right now miss 80s so much man
FANTASTIC !
2023 and still sounds great
Still gives me goosebumps and I'm 54! Loved this band and all the different guitarists but JM was quality
no way, i just read yr comment as the hairs on my neck were rising during the middle bit....and I'm 54!
Simply one word: Masterpiece
and so with this masterpiece I met *Siouxsie And The Banshees* ❤🖤🦇🥀
