“Love in a Void” by Siouxsie and the Banshees

"Love in a Void" was a Banshees stage favorite back in the late '70s, according to biographer Brian Johns, and it's a four-way write from the band's early lineup: singer Siouxsie Sioux, bassist Steven Severin, drummer Kenny Morris and guitarist Peter Fenton. It first slipped out in West Germany in 1979 as the flip side of "Mittageisen", then got its own shot that September as a double A-side.

Later it landed on the 1981 singles collection Once Upon a Time/The Singles and on the CD reissue of Join Hands. Its afterlife runs wide: Darkthrone covered it in 2006, Akala built "Love in my Eyes" on a heavy sample of it in 2007, and the studio take turned up in the 2016 film 20th Century Women.
