Welcome!
Hello and welcome to my space! My name is Sidney (aka Sidsioux or XsidsiouX) well; I think the reason for the "Sioux" name will become clear as you browse through this page. I was born in a lovely little town in Brazil called Camanducaia and moved to UK in 1991. Since very young I've been interested in arts, religions and the supernatural! I love painting and photography. Spend most of my free time creating artworks, when Im not out enjoying the fresh countryside air, that is! I am currently working on my life memories book called "Gray shades of pink" but don't get too excited too soon... The pages are still in my mind! My recent works includes a series of artworks for Siouxsie Sioux and the Creatures merchandising and website re-launch.
Hope you enjoy your journey through my crazy world!
Best wishes,
XsidX

Into a Swan

UK 7" Single 1UK 7" Single 2UK CD SingleVideo Info.
Golden Square has completed the post-production on the new Siouxsie Sioux promo, Into a Swan – marking the return of legendary Siouxsie and the Banshees lead vocalist and former member of Sex Pistols entourage, the “Bromley Contingent”. This is the first promo featuring Siouxsie performing as a solo artist.
The vision of the Crossroads directorial duo Harvey and Carolyn involved creating edgy multiple images of Siouxsie which appear on screen simultaneously.
Some of this was achieved in camera using a series of intricate mini sets involving mirrors and beauty lighting.
Lead smoke artist, Aman Kang of Golden Square, worked closely with the directors to recreate and enhance this mirrored reflection effect in post and make sure Siouxsie was looking glamorous and powerful. Dressed in black and looking like a dominatrix Siouxsie comes across as a force to be reckoned with.
Lighting effects and the sparkly outlines of birds were also composited on in post to accentuate the breaking out into a swan symbolism and add to the drama. Aman also created a strong marching army of aggressive swans from one single ballerina in costume.

Music
My BACKGROUND MUSIC:
Cristina - IS THAT ALL THERE IS?
From the album "DOLL IN TEH BOX"
There's no much I can say about this song...
I always loved Peggy Lee’s version and Dorothy Squire’s makes me cry.
I heard many different versions ever since, including Giant sands, PJ Harvey and Bette Midler.
I was watching a Christmas show on the TV back in the 80’s and Siouxsie Sioux was talking about her favourite Xmas tune. It was “Things fall apart” by Cristina. As a Siouxsie lover, I decided to investigate. No need to say that I ended up falling in love with all Cristina’s crazy songs. That included this version of “. Is that all there is?”
Coincidentally, for my delight, Siouxsie & Budgie had this track as their outro song at the creatures gigs back in 98. I LOVED IT!!!!
This version, back in the early 80’s was never released because the writers rejected it. Think they’re as dead as pair of Dodos, now! He he... So let’s brake out the booze and enjoy it!!!
And there you have it!
That’s all there is folks!
Well, till I change my background song again, that is….

LyricsI remember when I was a little girl; my mother set the house on fire! She was like that…
I never forget the look on my father’s face as he dragged me out of the building and onto the pavement and I stood there, shivering in my pyjamas and watched the whole world go up in flames. And when it was all over I said to myself:
Is that all there is to a FIRE?
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that’s all there is, my friends, let’s all keep dancing.
Let’s brake out the booze and have a ball, if that’s-all, there is!
And when I was 16 years old I went to my first nightclub. I was really excited!
And there where boring looking bankers dancing to beautiful models.
And there where boys with dyed hair and spandex tee-shirts dancing with each other.
And as I sat there watching I felt that something was missing, I don’t know what, but when a head home I said to myself:
Is that all there is to a DISCO?
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that’s all there is, my friends, let’s all keep dancing.
Let’s brake out the booze and have a ball, if that’s-all, there is!And then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in Manhattan.
We’d take long walks down by the river and he’d beat me black and blue and I loved it. I’d killed for that guy.
But then one day, James went always and I thought I’d die. But I didn’t and when I didn’t I said to myself:
Is that all there is to LOVE?Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that’s all there is, my friends, let’s all keep dancing.
Let’s brake out the booze and have a ball, if that’s-all, there is!I know what you must be saying to yourself: “If she feels that way about it why don’t she just slit her throat and shut up?” – Oh no, not me. I’m not ready for that kind of a come down. Because I know, just as well as I’m standing here talking at you, that when that final moment comes, when I’m breathing my last, I’ll be saying to myself:Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that’s all there is, my friends, let’s all keep dancing.
Let’s brake out the booze and have a ball, if that’s-all, there is!
