this is apparently about his lover a couple years previous to when this song was written, Valentino something... or so ive been told by an obsessed youtuber who messaged me on the matter. too drunk to check at the moment. brilliant song and brilliant man, that mr. molko
"We wrote 'My Sweet Prince' from an actual event, about one of my relationships that ended in a true tragedy... A guy the three of us were really close to nearly died. It was really hard, we were rather troubled by this. [...] I have a very strong link with this song. It refers to a relationship with a guy and a relationship with a certain substance 9heroin0 both of which ended simultaneously in horrendous circumstances. He used to call me 'my sweet prince' "
@MyScarletFall you're the first one to say it was actually a guy, i heard it was about his girlfriend that died. somehow it was questioned whether he ever really had male lovers. so thank you for this, even though it was just a copy and paste, i would have never known. he was really fucked up here, it's hard to watch without wondering what he must have felt...
@pinkthunderwonder I don't know, that's what he had said in this interview... I read it many years ago, and there's some performance where Molko goes "We said too bad and he left during the song..." That's what I know...
You're right, this is the most heartbreaking performance ever...
i've heard that he has a hard time singing this song -- great pain makes good music - and this is a fantastic song :/ , but i agree -sometimes good music can still be made without it.
@sarafin07 oh no, he was happy as a bee um really? hah... i mean c'mon you'd have to be an idiot to not be able to tell that in the least .. -no offense- :P
omgggg
MOLKO THANKS
YOU KEEP ME ALIVE :')
