DISCOGRAPHY

Aw, the 90s, so much to answer for! You guys must've remember this gem of a video called "Stay" by Shakespear's Sister?
This song doesn't get interesting until the bad girl/Bananarama singer, Siobhan Fahey, shows up in the middle of the song, declaring:
You better hope and pray
That you make it safe back to your own world
They got their name from The Smiths' song "Shakespeare's Sister", which was a reference to Virginia Woolf's essay "A Room of One's Own". Their originally name was Shakespeare's Sister, until someone who was making a woodcut of their name had misspelled it as Shakespear's Sister.
Strangely enough: I've got all three albums of their official albums, with the third one not including Marcella Detroit. #3 is actually pretty good, but then again, I've always prefer Siobhan's singing style over Marcella (which is almost too sweet).
I don't know
what it is with goth culture, but whenever I see Siobhan's imagery, it
reminds me of Neil Gaiman's Death and Joseph Linsner's Cry for Dawn,
which I'll include pictures for your reference here.
