Souixie and the Banshees Tribute to Jayne Mansfield
Apr 20, 2018 18:54:51 #
I never liked Souixie but she's so unexpectedly beautiful in the vid and captures such a sad and sober thought so well in this song I had to share it.
Imagine being so rich and famous and young, with children, a future and in a moment everything has changed for everyone.
Made me cry...I'm a softie.
The message is don't take the moment for granted.

"The song is about the beautiful blonde actress Jayne Mansfield. Jayne died in a tragic car accident along with two other passengers in the front seat of the vehicle. Three of her five children were alseep in the back seat of the vehicle at the time of the accident. The beautiful Mariska Hargitay (actress in Law & Order SVU)was one of the children in the vehicle. All the children survived the accident. Jayne was travelling enroute to an appearance/engagement at the time of the accident. She was 34.
"Kiss them for me" is a message to whoever about the children. From a biography I saw of Jayne she was a devoted and loving mother. I don't find the song morbid.
Jayne also loved pink, once lived in a pink house in L.A. and it has been said that her presence still inhabits this former home, the one with the heart shaped pool. Her ghost or presence is said to have been seen by Englebert Humperdinck (1960's.70's British singer) who also owned the residence at one time."
Kiss Them for Me
Siouxsie and the Banshees
It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
A ring and a car
Now you're the prettiest by far
No party she'd not attend
No invitation she wouldn't send
Transfixed by the inner sound
Of your promise to be found
"Nothing or no-one will ever
Make me let you down"
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, if I am delayed
It's divoon, oh it's serene
In the fountains pink champagne
Someone carving their devotion
In the heart shaped pool of fame
"Nothing or no one will ever
Make me let you down"
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
On the road to New Orleans
A spray of stars hit the screen
As the 10th impact shimmered
The forbidden candles beamed
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
Kiss them for me, kiss them for me
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

I read that in that accident, Jayne was decapitated. Mariska has said she has almost no memories of her mother.

Not morbid, a bit haunting perhaps, a feeling of being chanelled...
What a terrible thing to happen..
Didn’t know Mariska was her daughter either...
She doesn’t speak much about her does she??

That's why I included the words in my post.
They made me cry.

Haunting is right. No. I've never heard her speak of her mom.

Seven...and that's disturbing to me. I have clear memories from age 3.
