@gothicme He doesn't mean anything. This song is written and originally performed by Nick Drake who wasa folk musician in the 60's. This is just a cover. The original actually sounds better.
all you haters shut the fuck up. if you dont like the music you should have left when it started. adn noone gives a shit that you dont like it anyway assholes!
I'd advise becoming more diverse in music and build an understanding of it, and then MAYBE you'll relize these guys are not at all good, the only thing that could come across as good of this cover is the song itself [(which is truly brilliant)they didn't write it] but there arrangement and style is pretty bad(bad-not good0.
I actually think this band could be capable of coming up with something not THAT terrible, but I really dont give a shit because they look like doush fags and ikts not the kind of music I'd want to listen to
@1m2a3t4t5 are u outta your mind?if u dont have informed about a band,and u dont have a basic where your words can stand a shit how can u talk like that?placebo are the top alterrnative band admitted by the greatest musician of all time..and been supported by them for 16 years.. they deserve nothing less than respect..still we dont give ashit about what u think..
This was originally written by Nick Drake....i didn't know it until today....i didn't know it was a cover....i am shocked :P They totally changed it!! well done!!
This song isn't exactly like the original that Nick Drake didn't have anything to do with the creation of (He didn't write the lyrics or music but changed ONE line in the lyrics). With that said, I like this version better. It's more aggressive than the slow burnt out hippie original, and CHANGE is good for hippies and underwear. =)
@The153403hampton Again, Nick Drake didn't even write this song that's why it's his only good one. Blah, blah Robin Frederick etc. etc. we know. Don't like Placebo's version then don't listen to it, it's THAT SIMPLE.
I just want to say placebo is the only band that can completely reinvent themselves and still be so uiquely them, every album is so different to the last yet so completely placebo, They are a band that in my mind redifined my idea of music, in the sence that it doesn;t always have to be the "piano teacher" perfectness it is made out to be... play how you feel...
@RhetoricCamel Thanks for the kind words, Rhetoric Camel! Actually I wrote this song and I love both Nick's version and Placebo's, too. :-) It's always exciting to hear an artist reinvent a song. In answer to an earlier question... uh, it's about smoking whatever you think it's about smoking. - Robin Frederick
what do you expect? u want every album to be exactly the same with the previous one? that's impossible and especially for a huge band like them, who respect themselves and do not follow the easy way of making just a copy of their old music. this album is just PERFECT! powerful music and lyrics that fit perfectly. so what else do you want?
and there are not old and new placebo.
it is always placebo! and i feel the real placebo (for someone's comment)
Steve was the best looking of all of them, I'm sorry he left, he was a hell of a drummer and I wish him all the best n his new band!!
I guess it became to much being in an band with a guy who has a girlfirend and a kid but still pretends to be a bisexual and frenches his best friend on concerts to attract gay population.
I think they should have dissapeared after fourth album, together with honor and style.
good song but can i just say this? im sick of all the fucking moaners going 'oh, placebo arnt the same any more' 'i wish steve would come back' all that bull shit. placebo are as great as they ever were, perhaps better now that theyre off the drugs and steve is gone because they never really got on with him very well. people should be happy that placebo are happy and healthy instead of being fucking stupid. GET OVER IT ALREADY!
I love the new album. Its very different - I like Placebo old and new - but they always sound different on every one to me. I think it is just another step on a long journey and the Placebo people know and love will be back in future albums, but that this one was necessary. But what do I know ?
Love this song! Great collection of pics of Brian with a cigarete! Especially love the pic at 1:57 and 2:08 is an excellent pic to end the vid with :)
My god this song is incredible! every time i hear a placebo song, i think it's the best song I've ever. I've loved them since i was twelve and i only heard this great song today!
what can I say..I like your vids, I like the way you make them, with meaning, not just pics, but also even then will be awesome, because there are pics of Placebo..strange comment:/ but avyway I hope you understand what I want to say..
