'''Siela''' is a Lithuanian [[gothic rock]] band founded in 1990 and still active today. The band's name comes from the [[Lithuanian language|Lithuanian]] word ''siela'' which means ''[[soul]]''.
Siela was a pioneer of gothic [[Lithuanian rock|rock in Lithuania]]. In 1996 their song ''Vėjas. Žvaigždė'' ("Wind. Star") became No.&nbsp;1 on the Lithuanian music charts ("Radiocentras"). In the 1990s they also popularized songs such as ''Rudenio Dievas'' ("God of Autumn"), ''Tavęs man reikėjo'' ("I needed you"), ''Meilę skriaudžia dangus'' ("Sky harms the love").<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.music.lt/lt/grupe/Siela/1006/|title = Siela}}</ref>
