SADNESS: SPELLBOUND





Sometimes when it hurts or gets too much you need something loud. And hard. A big tribal dance of a song.




You want to hear music that makes you want to spin around, whirlinglike a dervish. Around and around and around, until you rise up outof yourself.




Into a place that's good and clean and pure. Where the light doesn't hurt your eyes and the space behind them stops feeling like static ona radio, turned up too loud.




This is one of my escape routes. If I need lifting I come back to a song like this and nothing touches me.




Spellbound - Siouxsie & The Banshees

A big cheers to JC, and Ctel for that matter, for providing years now of bloggery and mischief.

I have to agree. If any song can embrace positive aggression for me, it's Spellbound. The Banshee's tapped into something magical on Juju and Spellbound is the pinnacle of that album.
