Song from the Edge of the World
Encyclopedia
"Song from the Edge of the World" is a song written and performed by English rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees. It was released as a stand-alone single in 1987 in the UK and is a much sought-after release by Banshees fans due to its rarity.
The track is an uptempo number with strong percussion performed by Banshees drummer Budgie
. The song had not appeared on any album and was not included on any greatest hits collections until 2002's The Best of Siouxsie & the Banshees
— albeit only on the bonus disc of the limited edition of the album, and in its 12 inch single "Columbus Mix" version.
Siouxsie later explained that she wasn't satisfied with the work of producer Mike Thorne during the recording sessions. This is one of the main reasons the band decided not to include this one-off single on their 1992's Twice Upon a Time: The Singles
compilation.
