This is the most brilliant thing I've ever heard. It sounds haunting, in a really good way. Placebo took an amazing song and turned it even better. I just have no words.
I just think Placebo gives the song a different feel to the song than Kate does. I like both for different reasons and each version's own merits and failings.
(This is me finishing my last comment.) I also just wanted to say that to me the last line you stated just sounds like a personal religious opinion. I happen to be atheist, and don't believe in any of it. But darkness isn't always a bad thing, and I don't understand why you think it would be, especially for the youth of the future. They are at least being taught what is real and not having things sugar coated for them. And no, I don't believe in satan..
I don't agree that he has a point at all, sorry. First off, I don't find this very "dark" as you put it. Brian Molko has a very unique voice which I adore, and yes it may be a more raw and honest version of this song than the original, but that's because in this day and age, my generation (I was born in 88) tend to prefer music to be real, raw and honest. And not all happy and light, hiding the truth of the world.
I have been a huge fan of Kate Bush since she hit number 1 with "Wuthering Heights" in the UK for the first time in 1977. I saw her live and was blown away.
Some of the different group's interpretations are interesting and I have enjoyed them. Others not so much, and that is just my personal opinion. I would suggest for you both to just accept each other's opinion.
I remember the day i heard this song for the first time... 3 to 5 minutes after i heard it, my girlfriend called me telling me that she wanted to break up with me lol yeah she did... :P
@mssonnet26 Wow... you are like the only person in the world that I have EVER heard refer to Brian Molko or Placebo as EMO... Do you know what emo is?? Their style isn't emo. To be honest they have a style all their own. But this version might be darker, and I think it suits the song much better.
@KillingLonliness88 Yes, I am sure you know the meaning of emo. And the only reason why you think that this suit the song much better is because you have no depth and you only see things as the surface which is shown in this version. Whatever your preference is alright until you start calling someone deaf for voicing their opinion. You need to work on your sarcasm because I think that's the only defense machination that you have. I believe "stupid" is the right term to say to you.
@mssonnet26 Lol I know what emo is, and I can't stand it. I have plenty of depth and prefer my music to have meaning and a bit melancholy because I feel the world is a much darker place than people try to pretend it is. Sue me for seeing the reality while you hide in what everyone tries to make you believe. This song is better suited with their vibe, sorry. And trust me sweetie, it'd not a defense mechanism, it's just how I am. I believe "hypocrite" is the right term for you. :)
I find it to be funny that everyone is saying who is better. I think placebo seemed to change the meaning if the song. I like this one better because I heard it first and it has a certain meaning to me now. Its like knocking on heaven's door. Gnr copyied it it had one meaning Dylan has did meaning I like Dylans meaning better.
Placebo makes me remember the people that got dropped by the wayside as we tore past them, so intent on making a life for ourselves. They're still there. Waitng for someone to come back for them. XXO
i really think this a wonderful cover...... the beat matches the lyrics. i found kates version wasnt in sync with the depth of the lyrics. placebo captured it better, imo. :)
@ibrokemybrains Well, while it IS your opinion and I respect it, Kate Bush DID write the lyrics. Saying she had less of a direction of what musical theme to be the most fitting to her own meaningful text than a cover of her own song is like saying dark chcolate catches the lighter taste of white chocolate better. I ain't saying this is a bad cover, it's very different. However, I think your subjective opinion is being kinda dominant, conentrating on this point.
@ibrokemybrains No student is greater than their master, i.e you cannot make a better than the original. If you understand what the song is about, then you woulld understand Kates version better. It's about an intense and intimate experience (sex) with someone, Placebo's isn't nearly as "perfectly intense as Kate's, did a good job though...
