Placebo - Kings of medicine (Battle for the sun 2009)

[JosiahSCooper]

This reminds me of my life, just in the way, that I am lost, helpless and falling behind, alone -- and that feeling of being so desperate, as to wish for something to change.

[amilkar]

kings offf medicineeeeeeeeeeeeeee..!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[pinkthunderwonder]

"looking for someone to do" heh

[rawmen]

I LOVE THIS!!!

[HeldersGathering]

Cette chanson est un véritable chef d'œuvre, Brian Molko et sa bande démontrent encore une fois que c'est un groupe incroyable.

[nell1987ful]

[bananakillsyourslut]

sad that they don't play it.

i really really really love this song. ♥

[foxy1985xx]

I like when the trumpets kick in, in the last chorus

also this is my favourite album by anyone for the last 5 years, every song is amazing

listen to it everyday

[GC23furia51]

this song does send a kind of chill down my spine that .... i hadnt felt be4... "cause i wouldnt know where to begin....... i asked the kings of medicine" .....that part is amazing,

[bunnibob]

The song is about Brian's struggle with alcohol, (possibly other drugs but mainly alcohol as it refers to 'jonny walker' ) and feeling lost 'don't leave me here to pass through time without a map or roadsign' is his plea to himself as he tries to go cold turkey, and feels directionless in his life.He knows he can't rely on a substance to feel complete - 'stupid me to believe i could depend on stupid you'. 'All im left with is The Hours' could be refering to alcoholic meetings

[bunnibob]

This is one of my favorite placebo songs and songs of all time, it brought me to tears when i first heard it, and it's so vulnerable it sends shivers down my spine.

[ILuvUBJ]

Completely in love with that song

I just ADORE the chorus

[9boomerang]

i love the piano part starting at 2:37 !!

[lukae88]

everytime i listen to this song i start to cry.

[nicolcheung95521]

great song, but could anyone tell me what's the song about? I don't quite understand the lyrics

[sitragen]

what is this song about? what did really happen to HER?

[mellinsmashing]

dedicated to my only love - macco-really really thank you for loving me, you re my king of my medicine...love love you

[monman9000]

love this song! i think that the baseline works brilliantly with the vocals. hope they do more like this

[Valmolko]

Dedicated to Helena Berg? Yesterday I discovered they split up...

[AliceandGod]

Perfect bass piece, unique vocal tone and the lyrics themselves seem to about a volatile friendship that just so happens to involve drugs.

[lizardn]

it's amazing, so harrowing sweet, it suits perfectly to each of us!

[Lacidelson]

omg

is this LIVE??

[SonOfAGun05]

No sorry.This is not live. They never play it live. I just wanted to inrform about the forthcoming placebo gig in Greece.

[makeitmel]

& on the tip of my tongue

were words that always came out wrong...

Such a Sag trait.....Love this man

[MegaYoungatheart]

Brian is a poet!

[Deadwing6]

Best song of the album!! I wish they'll play it live sometime..

[toniaredhead]

this song is amazing.......... heartbreaking too

[irrynuka]

This just almost gave me a heart attack, I thought they played this live XD

I'd die if they did, it's such a pretty song!

[minimaudi]

I love this song too.For me, it's the best from the album. I can listen to it 10 times a day. The lyrics are too beautiful... "don't leave me here my guiding light, i wouldn't know where to begin" :'(

[Izaura666]

I love this song, as much as speak in tongues, but this IS NOT live version, duuh

[SonOfAGun05]

Read the fukin comments dude.

[crazygirlgoeswild]

one of rthe best songs from the album, i rate it up their with julien, does anyone kind of think the trumpets and other instruments sound like the beatles st pepper album, i think so?

Epic track from brain and the boys.

[XeniaPi]

you're right, it's the best song of the album....listen to it every day....and yes, there's a little beatle-thing in it^^

[lpfm2]

I think this is the best song of the album. But I don´t understand, why they not play this song live or do they play this song live ?

[MissSnowwhite88]

it's not live. I don't think they have played this song live yet.

[makibubu]

Great lyrics

[sepalkylie]

i just love this song... the music, the lyrics '' don't leave me , my guiding light , just adorable :)

[Jlenectok]

can't stop loving Brian...................

[zhitufina]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[precioussakura]

great song!!! my favorite band ever!!!

[1zv]

im going to see this band live in december (unfortunetly i'll be at the back sat down, they are my fav band but recently i;'ve heard brian is unhappy live?

[demolitia98]

depends, i guess

you might be lucky and get him on a good day :)

i saw them for the first time in 2004 and he connected with the audience wonderfully, telligstories and whatnot

i saw them again in 2006 and i dont recall him saying one thing to the audience..

[spinyopaat]

at pinkpop in netherlands Brian even told stories between the songs it was like free poetry.

but at werchter they werent happy,

the audience was fucking lame.

[LiveForMyMoment]

It's not "live in greece" but the album version of this track, it has never ever been played live.....Hopefully for the upcoming european fall tour !

[SonOfAGun05]

My bad.I didn't mean this is the live version.I just informed fans about their gig in Greece. :P

[smeltzerinho1980]

love this 8)

[nataliadglez]

They played Bitter end in Werchter and In BBK live. They didn't play Pure Morning or 36 degrees in none of the concerts and they played a version of Meds in BBK live and it was wonderful. It's my favourite Placebo's song. I love their style and their music even if they do not talk too much. I like the last CD, it is not as good as Meds, but I like. Long live to Placebo.

[nataliadglez]

I saw Placebo twice this month. they didn't play this great song. I disagree with zlatickoxt: Bian connects with the audience if the audience is good. In Rock Werchter Festival (Belgium) it's true: they hardly said Thank you. But in BBK Live (Spain) he spoke in Spanish and said "Muchas gracias" lots of times, but the audience was completely crazy, it was a really good concert!!!

[precioussakura]

I envy you!! :'(

[ugandaplayer]

this song matches perfectly for the recent deaths of 2 of my friends( girsl ) 2 days ago .... its just sad how everything happened that fast... i wish them a happy new life wherever they are ..

[Ghibliblackcat]

...And on the tip of my tongue

Were words that always came out wrong

'Cause they were drowned in southern comfort......

yay... love this song and hope they'll sing it live...

[MARINAnaf93]

sonofagun05 this is not a first for brian...i've heard that this gap and lack of communication among him and the crowd is not something rare

[MODITEN78]

Placebo <3 <3 <3

[zhitufina]

Best lyrics

Best song

Trumpets?

ILOVE YOU MOLKO!

[basketballbent]

placebo you are the best and you ever will be the best i love this song

[11111silvia]

im falling in love with this song!!!!Brian sing this song very beautiful..special voice for special souls...Keep moving PLACEBO!!!!!!

[andradecc11]

best song of their new album... sooooooooooo fantAstic...

why they never play it Live???

[majoko91]

They will play it on autumn tour :).

[RitsukaMemories]

One of my favorites from Battle For The Sun

[Allantir]

/signed actually my fav :D never ending why and battle for the sun are also in my favorites :) but the whole cd is great - as usually .D

[GreatMusicChecker]

i´m a placebo fan since four years. it is not a long time, but i love their music.

and this song is so great, i love the whole new album; and now the best. i´m going to see them von 24.11.2009 in mannheim (germany).

i hear this song and i have tears in my eye´s, cause im so happy to here that music.

please never stop making such music.

thank you brian and placebo. thank you.

[muntificator]

lucky you...u get to see em live. I'm stuck ovr in Autralia and im underaged so i can't see marilyn manson so ive got no concerts to go to rofl

btw iv eben fan bout 4 years aswell. I don't like their new stuff neartly as much as their old stuff tho. It's all good but i like their first 2 albums best especially I Know...1 of the best songs ever

[SonOfAGun05]

I agree with you that their new album is not as great as the rest.Anyway the concert was below average.They performed 8-9 songs of their new album(not including Kings of Medicine) and 6-7 oldie(not including Pure Morning,Bitter End,Where is my mind,running up that hill,20 years nor Post Blue.)Also there was almost no communication between the band and especially Brian Molko and the crowd.Too average for Placebo.I love their music,but their gig sucked big time.

[muntificator]

i thought they would have been really good atlive shows...that kinda sucks that they didnt do some of the best oldies like pure morning and biter end

[zlatickoxt]

Brian doesn't communicate with the audience much... I saw them in the Czech Republic a couple of days ago and he hardly said 'thank you'.

[geo15rge]

he said bitter end i was there......

[dobcsek]

Definitley the best song of this album. Sad that they never play it live. It's been probably written to Steve Hewitt I think...

[liloue76]

the best song of their new album. :)

[MrPlaceboholic]

i think it;s one of theyre best song..even though i'm in love with all of them...

[Plako85]

in love with the Kings of Medicine... I love this song!!

thanks SonOfAGun05

:DD

[SonOfAGun05]

Cheerz!

[mikykim]

very very very very nice song

[zlatickoxt]

What a beautiful song!
