placebo - running up that hill (official video)

[controlFunctionmedia]

The original is my fave, but this is wonderful and superbly Trans sensitive. And hence fucking awesome.

[KevinMarkMusic]

@socogirl159 "Better than the original." Please...take your friends 36 thumbs up and get lost.

[2703andreina]

i love this song!!!!!! its beautiful....... love love loveeeeeeeeeeeee

[TheHollyboy92]

had this song when wwe make a promo match between hbk va taker at wrestlemania

[tandreamer]

The song is amazing but the video it's only good for the numbers of great figas.

[codeine1337]

I Love Placebo This song is one of their best

[IoAresful]

Esta versión es sorprendente, acabo de escuchar la original y bueno... mis respetos para Kate Bush, pero prefiero por mucho esta versión.

[BigLebowski2000]

Better stolen in a good way, then made up by yourself in a bad way. Decent cover, nothing can beat the original though.

[d1664256]

I thought the song was about how we can never really know what it feels like to be another person, especially our partner (man, woman, whatever). This video seems dramatic, but I'm not sure Placebo understood the song. The only remake I've really enjoyed was Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt.

[NineTa1ledFox10]

BONES



[JoyousinJesus]

Lols at the melodramatic people in this vid ><

[sexyrhyrhy]

29 people fell down that hill...

[MrDeadsea000]

Some pretty disturbed people are in this video clip actually... I only spotted like 3 - 5 potentially sane people... the crazy ones are going to have children someday o_O

[Nonvivant]

@MrDeadsea000 You seem to have completely missed the emotion in this song.

[flatblackbsa]

this...

[byksEBM]

...Placebo fans are kinda sexy.

[MrDeadsea000]

@byksEBM They would have chosen the sexy ones and threw the ugly ones in the reject bin bahahaha....

[Sergent118]

heard the song from Warehouse 13...Sad song, sad scene :(

[feardrinker]

Meh. I guess I might like this better than Kate's version if I were 12 years old and in love with a vampire/werewolf.

[stoopiddub333]

everyone is all hooping and hollering about how this song is "dark" and "slow" and "creepy".

how?

you can interpenetrate the lyrics in so many ways, i don't see the "darkness" in the content of these lyrics. it just sounds like a thought that we all have from time to time about the world being perfect, but it isn't so we escape into our minds to find solace away from it. whats so "dark"about that???

it's just the way they covered it.

btw kate bush's style is better <--- opinion :) peace

[welteson]

Neat idea for a video.

[TrickyMaus]

Did they have their fans submit footage to compile this video?

[fkel1]

@TrickyMaus yes they did. they appealed on MySpace

[nickapick232]

Was that mike shinoda from linkin park?

[Zeratul723]

Why are there no people but white people in this video?

[fkel1]

@Zeratul723 3:15...also plenty of asian, icelandic, scandanavian, etc :)

[TheGirlygamer101]

i love this song because it has a meaning.....

[JayIssa79]

Katie Bushes was a cover m8.

[Suggs74]

@JayIssa79 WRONG !! -- ** copies the sleeve notes from The Whole Story (Best of Kate Bush)**

Track 7 - Running up That Hill . (BUSH)℗ 1985

Written / Produced - Kate Bush

[LIFEIZTOOLTOOLIZLIFE]

this iz a good cover. Kate is still zee queen fo sho. nice of her ta ~share~ doh (she did have to yes?)

~Peace~

[Savcynical]

Wow, I am loving this song so much! This video is very good also

[Synth9960]

You guys shouldn't be comparing which version is better... It's ok to have opinions but common... Both versions are good, that's why Placebo decided to do a cover of it...

[nitemanify]

Kate Bush scares me. This cover is much better than the original.

[turgore]

trannys scare me.

[LOLONO666]

@turgore if u talk about brian molko. he is not a tranny or maybe are u ignorant?

[USAisAntiWhite]

3:18

[TommyLeeSakura]

adore them



[hajden11]

omg such beautiful fans in the video, all of them <3

[tbjenkins07]

What was funny to me is that, i am an 80s buff. I always loved this song by Kate Bush. And i have always enjoyed placebo as an alternative/inudstrial rock band, completely separate. Then in my Spin class, we use Placebos version of this song for cool down, which is completely perfect for a cool down, and Love this version. I was listening to my Pandora 80s station right after spin, and realized that it was a remake when the song came on. so crazy!

[SwampThizzle]

@tbjenkins07 "Spin class"? Getthefuckouttahere.

[tbjenkins07]

@SwampThizzle Dont be jealous of my spin class! we can love placebo and fight heart disease at the same time...

[paulvg797]

Well responsive viral video beautifully edited to a really meaningful song that means alot right now in my life .

[DanielleDragula]

brilliant concept for a video, really shows a great cross section of placebo fans. and it's well edited. And of course, the cover of the original is genius

[lassebj2]

Terrible video, lol. Song is one of my favourites, tho.

[Kardasis2011]

Placebo better than ever!!!

[nippy29]

have placebo and kate bush ever duet on this song? they should if not

[TheNzbmxer]

im a HUGE wrestling fan i came to this song song when shawn michaels was obsesed with taking on the undertaker for the championship or somthing

[texiban001]

These guys are a little different but I think that they are very talented and this song just speaks to me! Keep it up Placebo!

[mickmuncher1]

I like this more than the kate bush original. I guess I'm just not an eighties person lol.

[psychodoll666]

im a lngtime placebo fan... i love everything they write and everything they cover, and try to see them everytime they come to philly. of course at 30 im still the youngest one in the crowd lol

[thadawerk]

this one caught me by surprise, but I actually like this.

[taylorjean97]

Jeydon Wale introduced this to meee in Suicide and I totally loved it. (:

[Ajaxykins]

10/10

[pirucreek]

I don't like this compared to Bush.

[socogirl159]

this version is better than the original in my opinion. like placebo or not they are one of the most talented and under rated bands in the world especially here in the states where no one knows them for who they are but rather for a couple of singles of which any fans know what I'm referring to. Every cover they do pays amazing tribute to the great artists which they choose to cover.

[novembrine1]

@socogirl159

STOP SUCKING MILK tinyurl(.)com/cllyjf

[HairyInLondon1]

@socogirl159 Just say its different. why make an irrelevant comparison.

[rackjack]

@socogirl159 You're a tard - Placebo doesn't sing, they talk songs. That was fine for Frank Sinatra because he "talked" songs beautifully. Placebo sounds medicated like they're taking too many Tuinals.

[quiDity]

Talent artists Placebo paying homage to another talent artist Kate Bush.

[Romagla]

I absolutely LOVE Placebo. LOVE, but trying to get Kate's original video is impossible!

[cpinner0007]

Kate Bush is/was a true visionary;i too was sceptical at first I heard of this cover: Placebo did an amazing job - respectfully covered indeed....

[nossyb]

love.. love .. love this song.. I love the way Placebo interprets it too.. simply AMAZING!!!....

[fantomuerte]

"Si seulement je le pouvais, je ferai un pacte avec Dieu et lui proposerait d'échanger nos places..."

Trop bon... une 15/20 pour Placebo, un 19,999999/20 pour l'original de kate Bush !

[iheartsupernatural]

i love this song...and the original sooo much...

[mitchzzhaarlem]

one of the best song i know realy great doen will aways be in my fav list

[VICECITYYY]

i tried this song to put on my profile .. you know what ?? placebo blocked it !!! they stole a number from Kate Bush and now we are not allowed to put it on a website !! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT ?? Even Kate Bush her video's .. She is allright with it !!............ BUT THE THIEF IS MAKING A PROBLEM OF IT !!! BTW ... isnt this a FAN!!!!video ???? Shame on you Placedo !! AND FUCK OFF !!.. I dont even want it any more .. The only thing thats makes this clip beautifull are the fans !!! FUCK YOU

[giuseppececca]

@VICECITYYY πραγματικά όμορφο τραγούδι

[DSilsbury]

@VICECITYYY Yeah right. So you think Brian Molko did it personally. It's not a decision that has been made by the band, dumb ass.

[fakeprophecy]

their only have decent song and its a cover... video is retarded though

[ellieban]

This is one of the best cover versions ever made of any song. I love this.

[MoogleAura]

Wow, well this and the Kate Bush version both have something in common, the videos both suck. =/ Love the song though! ^^b

[denitopoopy]

The video is better than the remake. Placebo must be a wannabe band

[jensonbond]

@denitopoopy placebo have been around for YEARS (1994 actually!) and have had loads of amazing tracks behind them.....how can u say they're a wannabe band!? I think someone needs to do some research, either grow up or come out of the 80's, it was almost 30 years ago!

[LunaticCalm]

3:15 DAYUM that's a lot of injecting.

[therealcharismatron]

It's good, but Kate's version is the only one for me.

[UnCLePSYchO]

its a nice song, true, darker then the original, songs can take you places, and sometimes it's exactly where you want to go.

[NocturnalCutie]

Oh, did I accidentally play this 50 times yesterday?

My bad ^_^

[lewisdsmith]

awesome song :P Kate Bush sucks

[lees138]

love kate bush origanal love this darker version be good 2 hear a drum n bass remix of this version as well, some 1 must b clever enough 2do it.great tune anyways

[Raeyven76]

I love the driving rhythm that supports this song. Very hypnotic, very intense. And as someone else said, more than a little erotic. Best version of this song.

[DixiesAttic]

I like Placebo's cover better, rarely do I like covers, much less better, but this version fits the lyrics better, because it is slower and darker. Placebo is awsome.

[11gokey]

@DixiesAttic Yeah, you said it right. I totally agree with you about this song.

[MrDeadsea000]

@DixiesAttic Depends on how you perceive the subject matter too though. Kate's was more intense and the palette was far more sophisticated... Placebo's is more of a teen melancholic frustrated emo puppy love version... not saying it's not good...

[DixiesAttic]

@MrDeadsea000 I heard this version first I would of never listen to the original so I know I like this one better, I did hear her version after finding out it was a remake but I preffer the emo version the slower darker music fits it better, but she did write a good song, just did not like her music version of it. I not a teen either quite a few years older then that ;)

[allrequiredfields]

@DixiesAttic

Older "then" that? I don't think so.

[ziana333]

the Kate Bush version is still better, but this one is alluring...

[kofrederick]

I agree this is a creepier version of Kate Bush. Also a little erotic at the same time.

[PersonalJesus348]

Reminds me of depeche mode like you wouldn't believe

[MegaMitch1984]

i like this song cause its the music to shawn michaels srew the undertaker at elimination chamber

[NaniAkachan]

wats this song about??

[colmivers]

@NaniAkachan: its about the lack of understanding between partners

[TheThatguy117]

this video...is wierd

[jazzi2211]

but yea i reckon the video is creepy too lol.

[jazzi2211]

I heard this on vampire diaries and liked it. i like it as much as the original.

[FemWillow]

A very creepy version of this song. I'd only heard Kate Bush's version until now, The video makes me dizzy and I see the whole theme of a life being, literally, turned upside down. At least thats what I see. thanks for posting.

[lealeasputnik]

dae yeez no hink this songs jist pure leanne? am gonnae burn it oantae a cd fur the cor

[crazyfaggotkiller]

good song got a minus 1 because of the video, thats the function of most music videos, they really make u wanna scroll down till u dont see the video and only care about listening to song. this video is very gay but the song is epic.

[tyciol]

Awesome, finding the official was tough. I don`t know if I like Placebo`s other stuff yet, but this song, lol

[Angelcakes13]

All their music is amazing!

[elsalvatge]

El hecho que seas ciega a la belleza no signica que no este ahi para los ojos de los demas.

[KelleighTV]

This is GAY

[bibovit]

you are fake and gay

[tyciol]

plus comme YAY

[Marrianethebloody]

I love both versions just as much!

[sarabedetti]

Brian sei pazzesco!

[parkkkkkkk]

VERY NICE :)

[Prizak1]

I like Placebo and I think this version of the original song is amazing, but NOTHING will ever be better than Kate Bush's versions of her own songs. Kate Bush is something else entirely, in the music industry & as a person.

[ApocalypticaLover666]

the dude at 0:42 is hot.

[LaToosh16]

looks like keanu reavs

[bigcaramelcat]

real hot

[booobbobo]

A lost of these girls are beautiful

[bikerboomer]

3:28... dang that chick is hot.

[LinkinParkFan240]

@bikerboomer OMG I JUST REALISED SHE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE WEE WORLD CHARACTER THINGYS!!

[booobbobo]

eh.... chick?

[Mothaafrica]

Kate Bush wrote it...so no matter how you hear or how placebo does it..its an interpretation.....it'll never be as real as when she sang it..but i do understand that you can relate to how placebo did it more..Its just weird how people say she didnt do it as much justice as placebo..

[AfterShock89]

what is more real to someone is a matter of perspective. .... it should be no suprize everyone on the youtube page for the placebo verision prefers it...

[TheHappyHero]

This version is still better...

[ObscurCadavre]

Yeah, I agree with that, it's not a case of Kate didn't do it as much justice as Placebo, as Placebo did Kate justice and then some. The two have different implications.

[Damamirlo]

I love Kate Bush, but I think this version is better. The first one sounds disco, very 80's. This one sounds spiritual, somewhat out of time. I think the cover improves the version in this case.

[Samoanpride408]

this is a very depressing song!

[bigjohn61175]

smoke a fat bifter and put that on repeat!!!!

[erbaquin]

IMO this is a beautiful cover of an already beautiful song. I've always loved Kate Bush's original version but I have to say THIS version is topping it for me at the moment. I love how simple Placebo have kept it, and the video works perfectly with that, simple and effective :)

[dannyien1]

great song by kate bush love the rendition by within temptation and not so fond of this particular version.

[ibakapple]

who' s that girl in 0:24 ?

[TheSampleCarmine]

it dosent matter she isnt important no one that 99.99% of the people who watch this wont know that girl

[LinkinParkFan240]

Dear TheSample Carmine,

If a twelve year old girl (myself) would know that this song was originally written and performed by Kate Bush then I doubt that only 0.01% of people that watch this video would know who she is...

[xxbrillcrazygirlxx]

Thank You, young people are NOT ignorant!!! I am the same age as you and while I do not love Kate Bush, I do quite like her and I know that the original was not Placebo!

[LinkinParkFan240]

Umm... dude.. I never called young people ignorant.. =S

[xxbrillcrazygirlxx]

I know I just like somebody....proving we're not

[Guitarcrzy555]

Im a big fan of montages which is what this is, alltho this is well timed using real fan vids and as far as the song version, 1000%improvement, very well put together, thought out and timed, its meant to grab ur emotion as a people using people from around the world to convey it, stop being so shallow minded people and get a real educated opinion, or just be musically handicap as so many seem to be

[yoshiro23]

@JeroenTheDark I do agree with you that people can have different opinions,BUT when YOU say something is crap it really lowers your credibility. You can say you don't like it, but it doesn't make something crap.... CRAP is what you spew out as a so-called opinion.

[broadwaymelody33]

Wow.

I adore Kate Bush, and I thought this cover was going to suck.

But they took a whole new twist on the song. Nice :)

[alleseigentlich]

Good Charlotte: 2:10

Imogen Heap: 2:16

Trent Reznor: 0:40

Chris Crocker: 0:34

et cetera. :V

[ilovejakerichardson]

This may not be the best video,

but i do love this sing! =]

[heroineadict]

@ilovejakerichardson I actually kind of liked the video a lot, it has a special connection it seemed for me.

[Gerothrolk]

Este video es una pasada,tanto la cancion como Placebo y Kate Bush.

[gunnarman94]

Great song, but A LOT of the people in this video are fucking weird.

[TheBassHeavy]

Isn't that the point? Listen to the lyrics.

[leeisinyoursock]

It's not supposed to be lively. Dipshits. Go listen to your crappy eighties-sounding music.

[MilkHermit]

Fuck the haters, I think this video was beautiful - it's not about the song or the band, it's about all of the estranged youth our world holds. It touched me; great job, Placebo.

[DMANSMAN120]

thid vid looks homemade but good

[Simster85]

video is poo though lol

[Simster85]

i think this is a great cover! go placebo!

[tip6qa4]

your sexy good video

[8hotfuzz8]

wow that was bleeeeek. this song is so utterly boring... and a descent amount of those people looked like druggos. i prefer kate bush's by far.

[cactiaregreat]

decent...

[diztanguy]

i tell you...how i like to smack that girl ...she looks good but so stupid, like this video!are they all trying to smile?!God!..do i hate nowadays music!they all suck so cosmically!!!

[diztanguy]

placebo stinks!it s really stupid to sing others songs,especially when badly done!this is an insult to kate bush s vibrant and intelligent music!she is a true artist and her music will stand time.time will kill placebo(i m talking 10 years at most...).

[whyisjaymeegtaken]

I love the original and this one is amazing too... It is SOOOOO heartfelt... i guess u have to be in the zone, and no i don't take drugs lol... i Love this version!!

[Stringerz]

i never knew within temptation did this song. BUT this version is fairly sad

[selinena]

i love it,Within Temptation fake this song verry bad.

[Gerardos300]

Love kate but this is good

[forevershirley16]

Love it!!!

[kitosamir]

how many bands did this song?

[lamusikfreak94]

1 the one and only placebo

[TheBangersNMash]

i've counted 4..

bowie (the first)

kate bush

placebo

and another one whom i can't recall

[demonblaze00]

Levy 9 Kiki & Herb Faith and the Muse Within Temptation John Forté Chromatics Kerli Spleen United and The William Blakes Patrick Wolf MPHO Placebo Ham Sandwich Kate bush Blue Pearl all of these have played tributes or covers to "running up that hill" the original was by Kate bush tho.

[k8fan]

Bowie? Huh? I've never heard that!

[Cheddar323]

also a rapper used the same song for the hook only though it's by John Forté - Runnin' Up That Hill not a bad song IMO

[MrDreamPop]

i don't like how they emo-ified this song.  i would probably think that it was alright if i wasn't watching this terrible video

[dcrown7]

REALLY LUV THIS SONG &VID!!!!!!!!!

LOVE THE SCAREY backing vocals

[viking1au]

Should have more sense than to touch something this good then turn it into something fresh out of Skanksville.

[USAisAntiWhite]

3:19 pretty girl; great lips.
