As my favorite Siouxsie & The Banshees song, I feel very protective over any potentially lame covers, but this one gets my full approval. So wonderfully done, faithful to the original with enough of their own sound to make it their own. Bravo!
As a longtime Banshees fan, this song holds a very special place in my heart, and DeVotchKa just killed this version. I like it a little more than the original album version, but the original live Siouxsie version on the Twice Upon A time collection, is still the best recording of this song ever imho.
In the sharp gust of love My memory stirred When time wreathed a rose A garland of shame Its thorn my only delight War torn, afraid to speak We dare to breathe Majestic Imperial A bridge of sighs Solitude sails In a wave of forgiveness On angels' wings Reach out your hands Don't turn your back Don't walk away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart At the close of day The sunset cloaks These words in shadowplay Here and now, long and loud My heart cries out And the naked bone of an echo says Don't walk away Reach out your hands I'm just a step away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart 'Til the last beat 'Til the last fleeting beat Of my heart
Siouxsie And The Banshees The Last Beat of My Heart In the sharp gust of love My memory stirred When time wreathed a rose A garland of shame Its thorn my only delight War torn, afraid to speak We dare to breathe Majestic Imperial A bridge of sighs Solitude sails In a wave of forgiveness On angels' wings Reach out your hands Don't turn your back Don't walk away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart At the close of day The sunset cloaks These words in shadowplay Here and now, long and loud My heart cries out And the naked bone of an echo says Don't walk away Reach out your hands I'm just a step away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart 'Til the last beat 'Til the last fleeting beat Of my heart
DeVotchka is such an underrated group...wish the world loved em as much as me
Not everyone has the same taste.
Yeah, but sometimes, the divine sets aside for us the very best of the best…
…and in these instances, let us revel in the rarity.

4:39 and so on. Man this is just simply a beauty
I heard this song in Barnes and nobles and I HAD to hear it again
Por queeeee no está en spotify?? 😢
This is such a beautiful rendition…
Once you hear this... You have to hear it again.. and again 🎶💛
This was my favourite song in first year of highschool. Brings me back
Awesome song 😍 Great cover 👍😁
I do so love this cover
I believe Win Butler introduced Devotchks to this song, saying they needed to cover it
It is known
Hah that is so cool! I love learning this! Arcade Fire should cover Siouxsie!

One of the better Siouxsie and the banshees covers out there
In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe
Majestic
Imperial
A bridge of sighs
Solitude sails
In a wave of forgiveness
On angels' wings
Reach out your hands
Don't turn your back
Don't walk away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart
At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
These words in shadowplay
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the naked bone of an echo says
Don't walk away
Reach out your hands
I'm just a step away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
'Til the last beat
'Til the last fleeting beat
Of my heart

LOVE MY SONG¡
Siouxsie And The Banshees
The Last Beat of My Heart
In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe
Majestic
Imperial
A bridge of sighs
Solitude sails
In a wave of forgiveness
On angels' wings
Reach out your hands
Don't turn your back
Don't walk away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart
At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
These words in shadowplay
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the naked bone of an echo says
Don't walk away
Reach out your hands
I'm just a step away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
'Til the last beat
'Til the last fleeting beat
Of my heart
ur telling me people found this song through another band lmao I’d be less worried about finding them via 2000s Hollywood
regardless, we are all lucky to be here
❤
I like it, but it lacks the tenderness of the original, which is why the original is so atypical.
