Placebo - The Movie On Your Eyelids

[lubkamart]

Exactly how someone under me has written - Placebo gives me a spectrum of emotions that are so real that I believe Im living them. There's no other band like Placebo. I have a beautiful life, but without this music in right moments it would be a bit less purposeful. I really found myself in their songs and lyrics, or better said, in their atmosphere.

[HawkSerj]

Why can't you be me...

[CDOBBY25]

What album is this from?

[lautnerlover555]

Too beautiful for words

[HeartlessFallenAngel]

Eargasm plus legs like that, so hard to find in girls nowadays... This video is my lust...

[dawnofthedead100]

I cry when i listen to you breathing. Because I know that its nothing else.

[Mslilsis666]

Its fuckin amazing how some people can actually put there emotions in words, totally raw but pure elegance. I love it, this band never dissapoints!!! very original and every album feels like a movie, under my eyelids, when I close my eyes to really LISTEN!!! Few bands have that impact on me. Thank you Placebo, for just being you!! much love from Colleen

[marilouixxlove]

[HaczelHarrie]

Absolutely moving. I just wonder how people would take it if a woman wrote lyrics like this. Hopefully well =)

[NoreiaOne23]

so wonderful... pretty amazing...

[caraoooke]

You dont hear only music, is the sound of a soul, purely amazing

[UsernamesAreForCunts]

Why can't I be him :(

[clovrmay]

[ThroughAlmasEyes]

[benlysandre]

c'est un tres beau texte et tres triste en meme temps/ it s a sensitive and beautiful text even if it s sad as possible.

[BlodigGurkFan]

I really can't understand how someone really can dislike this...

[MrBrightEyesz]

[pearl6736]

"I cry when I listen to your breathing,

Because I know there's nothing else

That conjures up that crushing feeling

To know there's no connection left,

That we're both going through the motions,

That we're both living somewhere else

That the movie on your eyelids,

Is no reflection of myself"... this part is my favorite.

[pearl6736]

[mad4molko]

12 people have no eyelids ;)

[delilha1993]

I have too many people in my life who live ,,somewhere else" I dedicade this sogn for them.

[Nachtelfe1982]

Probably the world´s sadest songtext ever... beautiful but heartbreaking!

[eloisaanguiano]

The ethernal question Why can u be me? How is it to be u? If you just could feel what i feel and think. We were born alone and will die alone. Nobody will ever know what is it to be us. 100%. Though is sad is something to be very proud of. The last belonging that we will give up. Gift especially made for each one of us.

[gibboj94]

Should have been in the 'Requiem for a Dream' soundtrack.

@2pris Ai fost genial/a spunand asta,vorbesc serios:).

[2pris]

@britsangel

abia am facut ochi acum , am scos labradorul la plimbarea de dimineata , la 1 :30 pm :)

si cand m am intors prea putin dezmeticit , am vazut replay`ul tau ... si nu mai stiam initial ce comment am dat ... pentru ca a fost ceva spontan ... si

ca sa vezi !

multumesc frumos ca m ai "dezmeticit" ...

[britsangel]

@2pris Chiar nu ai pentru ce..

[VegaValentino]

Don't speak to me speak is onley a lie

lay down and hear my heartbeathing now you feeling red and not blue

Don't undestand don't think

love is misunderstood and always going to be so don't speak.

[rockaddictfrench]

such fuckin song that make you cry before the 10th second ...

[passionsky678]

Why can't you...be me?

[Sabugoxxx]

WHY CANT U BE ME

[itsBrandonful]

this song makes me wanna cry

[Hexxedchild]

song applies to me, stuck in friend zone for 5 years, bad times :/

[MyScarletFall]

@Hexxedchild Tell me about it, I'm stuck in the "you're too young for me" zone! I feel you... *-*

[linlomox]

can't

stop

Listening

to

IT!!!

[Flashkica11]

One of the most perfect things I have ever heard

[musthavehad]

they never played this masterpiece live? its so embrassing intense...

[frootloopwarriors]

It depresses me this and many other sublime songs never got any attention..this is beyond music..

[MyScarletFall]

When it comes to Placebo, the music is so humane and pure, it speaks so much emotion and pain, even to the ones who have numbed themselves to it... Drags out the most innermost thoughts, feelings and desires to make one stop feeling guilty about them... Makes you realise what your place in the world is and shows that chain that keeps you tied to other people, who are not all that different from you, after all... At least, that's what Placebo means to me.

[deathbycookies]

8 people have no heart.

[MorgothResurrection]

@deathbycookies 11

[hulktom51]

@deathbycookies 12 now, how can someone dislike that ...

[MrDjrulez]

@deathbycookies well... 13 for now

[Millamoren1975]

@deathbycookies or no ears

[oyasuminasaix]

I love this song so much... the ending is so sweet-sounding, captivating and beautiful, always gets me at the end

[Andrew313]

This is lame...it's just a picture with the song in the background. If I want to hear the song I can just listen to it.

[winnyispinksushi]

This song reflects my thoughts exactly. I love you Placebo. Forever.

[myperfecthideout]

perfect song...perfect like brian

[malade71]

I loved so many bands in my life but this is the first time that, when I listen to the music, I don't receive it from a distant sky, but I feel there is somebody sitting besides me, caressing my head and whispering to my solul. As far as I experience it, while the rest of the music comes from outside, the music of Placebo comes from the inside, it is part of myself.

[karmafaerie]

Wow.

Just wow.

[VegaValentino]

By the way, can somebody help me whit downloading, this song is good and i whant it on my mobile.

[winnyispinksushi]

@VegaValentino use a youtube convertor. just google it and you'll find tons.

[VegaValentino]

Well, have nobody heard of Vincent valentino? this song is all about him, vince wrote a poem to brian and the word movie on your eyelids whas in it. vince whas a punk singer in the erly ninteens. Iam a big fan of valentino.

[alejavalo1]

@VegaValentino good to know love Valentino too:)

[s1y2l3v4i5a6]

I need those stockings.

[Denner777]

This music ... it is the purest trip you can have ... forever love placebo ...

As i read bellow ... this is more than music ... this is nameless ...

[pinkietows]

love it..EVERYTHING!!! i also want those thing-high stockings, dammit!!! 

[prostomax66]

magical song! so pure.....

and I'm tearing myself apart thinking about meaning of this! I understand that person who you love , has dreams not about you , and you feel that distance between you is getting bigger - "To know there's no connection left" & "That we're both living somewhere else" . But why in the end there is this line : "Why can't you be me?" "Be me" - so close , that you are like one piece? Someone has any thoughts? :)

[MyScarletFall]

@prostomax66 Maybe because the person speaking is in love with *them*, and if *they* were the person speaking, the love would be reciprocated... That's how I perceive the lyric...

[karoem14]

The conscious of that crushing feeling to know there's no connection left,that we're both going through the motions,that we're both living somewhere else,that the movie on your eyelids is no reflection of myself.

[jabaxana3]

amazing song

[barbor88]

this is more than music...all Placebo´s music is pure life in every single way-once child, once mature,once depressed,once drunk,once high,once in love, once fckng sad,once crying,once laughing,once screaming,once silent...

[Anasfaltowa]

i love this song! <3

[jihan27able]

How beautiful it gets with the repeated question at the end. So beautiful.

[Bubu952]

When i listen this song the way i'm breathing is different and i feel something magic in my chest and my body is more warthm.I feel like this sound it was always deep in soul and i never could find it.And his charming voice makes me think about nothing than a dark place where just him can find me

[plasticine666]

I dunno, why can't I be you? :) :x

[GraceUnderPressure1]

Placebo are perfect for each and every mood and emotion the human possesses to feel and go through. Their music is therapy for the mind. Simple as that.

[jihan27able]

@GraceUnderPressure1 This music really is therapy. I forget the world when listening to this guy. He's open and boundless. a beautiful talent.

[DominantLuwHBK]

This song made me cry... Very emotional... I love this song... <3

[MissBlaze94]

beautiful song <3

[TheGatofuck]

esta chingona! pero la imagen es muy mierda!! (N)

[1SexiNici]

His voice gives me.. the chills... o.m.g....<3

[DaniCyy]

This is beautiful. I have no words ♥_♥

[malade71]

dusty piano... intimate voice rising from the listener's own throat... shadows on the walls of your room in the night... their music is the best thing in my life now...

[aysonator]

[yaoilover20]

Does anybody know where I could get the tabs for this song?

[LostInDependency]

[LostInDependency]

[aysonator]

[willmferg]

that the movie on your eyelids, is no reflection of myself....

[VegaValentino]

Movie on your eyelids Is the same name as one of Vincent Valentino poems, Vincent Is lover to Brian between 1997-1998.

Vincent Is a god hell of a singer to.

[ReitaxAnna]

@VegaValentino

[MegaYoungatheart]

Tears in my eyes!!

[MyScarletFall]

First time I listened to this song, I sobbed my eyes out... You just can't help assossiating certain sorngs with certain people...

Aren't there several more unhappy love stories of Brian with women too.

[jessicatubes]

[manyeyeshere]

[bjorn2007]

@bjorn2007 It is on the battle for the sun box set.

[monicato27]

¡¡¡¡Muy buena cancion!!!

[Ashtrayheartromina]

goooooooooosebumps all over my body

[vOoNneE]

It surprised me to not hear him singing at first, but the song is so beautiful and powerful that whispering it is just what it takes. Or... not exactly whispering, but not talking either.

I'm gonna stop analyzing this and just listen to it. It's... mesmerizing. So honest.

[IamguiltyMrPresident]

Exactly...Speachless!

[mysweeetprince]

Speachless.

[RuthlessVision]

@mysweeetprince Speechless. Ya, ya, nazis.

[sebastienxavier]

@mysweeetprince my gf attends one of the most prestigious music schools and her instrument is piano and when she heard this for first time she couldn't stop crying because it was so beautiful to her. Stefan writes the best pieces, I love how dark, obscure and mysterious they are and sometimes have a good or bad twist, musically at the end... A brilliant song.

[mysweeetprince]

@sebastienxavier Stefan wrote it? Sorry for my ignorance, but, how do you know? I would be really glad if you could answer.

[sebastienxavier]

@mysweeetprince ignorance forgiven but you call yourself after a placebo song yet cannot tell which member writes piano? and you call yourself a fan... watch some interviews of stefan. seems like you might be obsessing only over brian? there's other members of the band you know.

[sebastienxavier]

@sebastienxavier yes brian can play piano and does write some melodies but intricate obscure pieces such as centrefolds, broken promise, and movie on your eyelids (just some examples) are signature stefan pieces on piano. im not crossing brian's input out on this, dont get me wrong but this is a stefan piano piece. i cannot ring them and ask so no i cant prove it and im sure if i look up copyright for the song i will see all input including lyrics which were not stefan's.

[mysweeetprince]

@sebastienxavier And well, I should have think of it twice since you were talking about your gf in music school. Sorry, misunderstood. And no, Im not "obsessed" only with Brian, actually I really consider that Placebo wouldn't work without Stefan since both Brian and Stef are the main pieces of the band, and then comes the drummer, which is part of the band but, well, you get what I mean? And I do know that Stefan's the one that plays piano. Brian is not as talented in that side (in comparation)

[mysweeetprince]

@sebastienxavier I was talking about the lyrics

[karoem14]

ok...well... :( :( nothing left to say... <3

[namelsess93]

I remember You once sent me this video.

[aintnoothertiki]

so great. gets through the heart

[offieable]

elektryzująco...!

[MandaOwl]

how new is this song? I feel bad , I missed so much just by not being in Placebo-mode for four months :O

Is it a cover? Need to know :)

[debatepro]

It's an extra track on the new album in the box set. Not on the regular album. It is their song, not a cover.

[Zwitterin]

how am i supposed to find those extra song?

i have the extra box :S

[debatepro]

the box set (im talking about the box with the 4 cds and the 2 vinyls) has the album in it. The last song on the album within the box set is this song. Are you sure it's not on there? Maybe you're talking about the version that is just the album and another cd with how they made the album...

[adam145]

Unless they're hiding it from the public, no it's not a cover.

[shellyblue75]

this is my very very favorite song these days!

[lanka666]

I have never hear this song before. Is this song from a new album?
