Favorite "Sister" Songs #4 - "Little Sister"

Tweet

With the theme of this particular music series being songs with "sister" in the title, you might be thinking that I am paying homage to my own sisters. Nothing could be further from the truth. But I do know a lot of "sister" songs, and we are at #4 in the countdown: "Little Sister" by Siouxsie and the Banshees. "Little Sister" is the fifth track on the Banshees' 1991 album, Superstition, which is best known for spawning the band's first Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, "Kiss them for Me," and is Siouxsie's biggest selling album in the US. "Little Sister" was not released as a single, and doesn't even warrant a mention on the album's Wikipedia page. Which is too bad. Written by bassist Steven Severin, "Little Sister" is absolutely gorgeous, and about as far from the Banshees' punk roots as can be. I can't imagine that Siouxsie and Severin, who were the band's only constant members, ever envisioned that the band would morph from their harsh, abrasive beginnings into a slick, polished unit, let alone create something as pretty as "Little Sister."
