When thinking of a song for glamglare’s weekly segment “Life Soundtrack”, I instantly thought of Siouxsie, of [Siouxsie And The Banshees](http://www.siouxsieandthebanshees.co.uk/?ref=glamglare.com), because I’ve been musing a lot about female voices this week and just yesterday compared Emma Ruth Rundle’s voice with Siousxie’s when reviewing the [new album by Marriages](http://www.glamglare.com/music/2015/4/15/new-album-marriages-salome). And when thinking of Siouxsie, I remember one song in particular: Christine. 

  
When [Christine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine%5F%28song%29?ref=glamglare.com) came out 1980, it was on power play in my hometown’s clubs, the two I’ve frequented. Back then though, I had no idea what this song is about but more than a quarter century later and thanks to the web, I know that it is about a mental illness, personality disorder.

I also think that there’s never just a “funny coincidence” but everything makes sense in a broader scheme – with a couple of exceptions, of course. (Some events in life just never make sense!).

Coincidentially, also yesterday, I watched the new video that Jonny Hawkins, the lead singer of [Nothing More](http://www.nothingmore.net/?ref=glamglare.com) has been working on (while touring the world – literally!) which has a different, and more prevalent mental illness as core topic: schizophrenia. The lyrical, musical as well as the visual approach are naturally different from [Siouxsie And The Banshees](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Siouxsie-And-The-Banshees/186751311365203?fref=ts) (they have a FB page!) to [Nothing More](https://www.facebook.com/nothingmore). 

Not even sure if I can really throw a curve ball from *Christine* to *Jenny,* yet I give it a try and close with the video to *Jenny* because – it deserves exposure.
