Cities in Dust was written by Siouxsie Sioux, Steven Severin, Budgie and John Valentine Carruthers, released in October 1985 as the lead single from Siouxsie and the Banshees’ album Tinderbox. Cities in Dust is a post-punk song whose lyrics describe the destruction of the ancient city of Pompeii by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The track became one of the band’s best-known songs and has remained a staple of 1980s alternative playlists, inspiring numerous remixes and covers.
