Cities in Dust

"Cities in Dust" is a song written and produced by British rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees. It was released in 1985 as the first single from their seventh studio album, ''Tinderbox''. The "Cities in Dust" 12" was the first Banshees' single release in the United States, on Geffen Records.
==History and reception==
The song describes the city of Pompeii, destroyed in a volcanic eruption in 79 AD. Imagery describing the volcano and its magma chamber, the condition of the victims of the eruption, and the subsequent discovery and excavation of the city comprises the bulk of the lyrics.
"Cities in Dust" was a more post-punk affair than singles released by the Banshees in the previous several years. It also had more of a pop music melody than past releases from the band, although its lyrics were still dark, mentioning a shrine to Lares Familiares. Its upbeat 4/4 rhythm also made it a hit in dance clubs. "Cities in Dust" peaked at number 21 in the UK singles chart.〔Johns, Brian. ''Entranced : the Siouxsie and the Banshees story''. Omnibus Press, 1989. Page 94. ISBN 9780711917736〕 Although not Siouxsie and the Banshees' first song to hit the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart, it was their first significant hit, climbing to number 17.
Singer Brett Anderson of Suede cited "Cities in Dust" as one of his favourite songs.
