Placebo - Running up that hill

[PhillySouth]

@YourSeoulisMine Robert Christgau interpreted the song - as done by Kate Bush - at the time, as an allegory for a woman's orgasm (occurring withing 5 minutes)

[XeeGen]

This is how you cover a song ^^

[flatblackbsa]

this tune was SO re-due for a 21st Century re-do... nice work Placebo

[musicmoney21]

Chris Holly "Christmas Day" the suicide song now on youtube

[wishful87]

Love this song.

[forsberg2110]

this video just shows clips of a bunch of outkasts that have emotionally problems and should seek help from local help lines

[evelyneverettgreen]

@forsberg2110 I think it is fairer to say that it shows various fans of this music, generally attractive, thoughtful looking people most of whom are probably able to write a sentence without it being littered with spelling and gramatical errors. So i imagine they are not really your kind ...

[charlesime]

Thumbs if official video my ass!

[Nomosol]

This version is just awesome!

[selinapattipeilohy23]

yeah!

[lanarcolepsie]

Is that Mia Kirshner at 2:07?

[TomParis1975]

I really like this Clip.. it really expresses feelings through music

[CyberWallX]

this would fit perfectly in a longboarding-video.

[countingmx]

Those who consider this to be better than the original should immediately consult a psychiatrist.

[SlayeCohen]

@countingmx Absolutely right.

[xxxmissybellerxxx]

@countingmx have been to one already ;]

[palettenschubser]

greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattt

[peachessaffron]

everyone in this vid is so eerily good-looking =O

i adore this song. and i agree it is better than the original, maybe it's just that i'm not a big fan of Kate Bush, or maybe i just feel more emotion in this cover.

[Meszczak1]

man this version sucks as shit. 

[llstarlight]

For me, Placebo does this song better than anyone else, as far as people just not liking the song-some people just don't get things-also, it is very open to interpretation-some peole may have a preference for certain artist they favor to do the song

[smalltoeboy1]

this is way better than the original

[cavemanwado1961]

not a patch on Kate !!

[scootaymildo]

@cavemanwado1961 Kate Bush is the female vocalist on this version too lol!

[novayshundotcom]

for me it's better than the original

[xxpeniskingxx]

Michele Obama: Hero.

[coolsdon]

This abortion should be deleted from youtube,it's a pretentious dirge!

[scootaymildo]

@coolsdon You should be deleted from youtube, if you don't like it piss off and stop wasting your time!

[DrummingMonkey13]

Not a bad cover tbh :) But cannie beat Kate Bush!

[heresmycomment]

think i am in love with the girl at 0:58... she's beautiful. if anyone knows who she is, tell her about me

[fehgothi]

very good!

[2venmus]

1:21 this guy may not be gay but he would hold a dick in his mouth til a gay guy showed up

[isaveu]

Nice but Kate Bush has a bigger effect on me .

[LapisGarter]

Oh, serious face. My problems are so important and I'm so misunderstood. 

[graeypoet]

This is F%*&ing beautiful. Well done. Quite well done. Well edited. Do you know any of these people?

[VSMuadDib1973]

the black and white girl at 2:04 and 4:50 eyes are amazing

[ashmichelle1]

kinda looks like they're trying to hard to be sexy and emo

[kevindowney]

the girl at 32 - 35 is so pretty who is she?

[Revxss]

@kevindowney Not sure, but she's a dead-ringer for my niece

[Chloey23]

2:57 that is

[Chloey23]

2:59 wow

[MatthewS8590]

This is an excellent video. Great Job. How did you find all these fan vids, just from youtube?

its really great. thanks.

[mermaidfishh]

@revxss Trust me, I actually HAVE an imagination, which is part of the reason why i think this video sucks

[avpeopleuk]

Great versions of a song created back in the early 80's by Kate Bush

[lllittleredmen]

i dont know why. but this sucks

[mermaidfishh]

this video is so stupid! it made me laugh so hard! i mean seriously? it didn't capture any meaning the song has from either artists (kate bush or placebo)

[Revxss]

@mermaidfishh I don't think there's anything wrong with the vid. The problem may lie in your lack of imagination,

[nin69lover69]

i hope people know that is a cover for a song from the eighty's

[belgradebobcat916]

I should say something smart, profound and yet somehow witty so that people like my comment and I can feel good about myself...

[romans82]

@belgradebobcat916 Wow, what you said was so smart, profound, and somehow witty. I'm gonna give you a thumbs up for helping me to ponder some many things regarding this song and life. You can officially feel good about yourself now. lol

I really do love your comment. though, good stuff. :)

[1DonnieZ]

verrrryyyy cool vid!!

[AleakimOkibi]

Heard it on the commercial to Daybreakers. Great song. The video, though, is a bit disturbing. Only because I swapped tabs mid-song to find a pair of child-lips on the screen. Wasn't expecting that.

[AleakimOkibi]

@AleakimOkibi

And yes, I know this is not the original. >.>

[jasonjbell]

Lots of good lookin whites in this

[airspirit475]

boring.

Within temptation is better

and kate bush

[MrThisDarkness]

@airspirit475 lmao No way xD

[TheBfg40]

kate bush song is better lol

[babyfashionalcoholic]

LOVE THEM!HOPE TO BECOME FRIENDS WITH A LOT OF THEIR FANS!

[sandrabiatch]

I fell in love with this song at 10:00 am. FUCKING AMAZING

[psychozo]

the rhythm of the drums makes me think of sex

[GibbsGibberstein]

KICK ASS!!!!!!!!

[DreamerDemented]

Another cover song where I think the cover is much better then the original.

Placebo for me turned this into exactly what it should have been... A Moody/Heartbreaking song. The lyrics were dying to have this type of transition. The song is so heartbreaking in some parts that the original just doesn't have the same effect. Placebo to me owned this cover.

[Methoswicca]

@DreamerDemented I'm pretty sure if placebo sings christmas songs they'd be heartbreaking too :)

[Ghat801]

@DreamerDemented sorry, you disin on Kate Bush? :)

[youclo29]

merci a Kate bush.

[JaDosla]

this video is FANTASTIC.. :)

[MrJohnny105]

eeeee.....ali je domaca muyika puno puta boljaaaaaaaaaa!!! :PPPp

[MrsMenbearpig]

kako mi se svidjaaaaaaaaaa, čudo jedno. baš sam oduševljena. lol

[mastercheff1216]

it's okay but it will never be like kates original

[spectrum99122]

Not half bad at all as a cover.

[wickedwinks]

This video gives me the chills!

[sylviafrika]

the kid is so cool

[buddhabder]

Wow! First time I've heard this version. Takes the song to a different place. Brilliant.

[Dancingphalanges93]

@fly2heaven18 Its a really good song. It must be popular for those sorts of tv shows. lol. I can't get enough of it. lol

[yrustaringatme]

@Dancingphalanges93 Haha I heard it on Vampire Diaries.. Not quite the same as CSI or Bones, but I guess, not quite that different either.

[Dancingphalanges93]

@yrustaringatme I've never seen the Vampire Diaries, and I suppose thats true about the Vampire Diaries not being the same, but not that different. I just love the song. It's haunting in a good way.

[VariedLyrics]

It annoys me how this song obviously has deep meaning, and I presume some of the people in it are in the position, then people just take the piss. Kinda sad really.

[smotnick]

No, no no. Less than a minute into this cover I clicked out. Shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath with Kate's classic.

[VSMuadDib1973]

girl at  "2:04" get my vote

[Tobester13]

To the gorgeous girl at 1:12 and 2:27, you are an absolute babe!

[digidank81]

@Tobester13 youtube.com/watch?v=KKY5MsFvQi­k

[bigstabby]

Just recently heard this song and am pretty sure this is the song I want to play at my funeral.

[smileyfazeable]

This song is the best

[wanjization]

i luv her tattoo

[CarbonNixton]

Undertaker VS Shawn Michaels :D 18-0

[Dancingphalanges93]

I originally heard this song on the tv show BONES, and now I love it

[fly2heaven18]

@Dancingphalanges93 haha, I heard it on CSI of all places for the first time, loved it ever since

[Dragonesther]

@Dancingphalanges93, Mee tooooo!! I wasn't sure who sang it so I just went on a wee google search :D

Love your name, by the way. I love that episode with the dancing phalanges

[darkridr25]

Wow, such an excellent cover! Beautiful.

[cruizee69]

As much as I liked Kate sang this song many years ago.. these guys make it there own.

[Wsip]

Cool song :)

[Nambale]

About three years ago when I first joined Youtube, this was one of the first songs I favourited. I'm surprised to see it has 3.3million views! Amazing! A truly superb song and concept.

[PlaceboForLove]

Really makes me think about regret and the way I've changed over the years.

[Arkile]

1:28 is mad gay

[colgjs]

Give props to Kate Bush.

[lilsmittenkitten]

Even when I feel I'm at the lowest point in my life, I can watch this video and it brings me back to life. Very few songs cause an emotional rollarcoaster within me, but this one accomplishes the job. Even when I don't have a soul in the world to talk to, to cry to, to hug and fall asleep with. At least I can lose myself in music like this and find peace.

If I could make a deal, I would trade places with my brother! So, that maybe our mother would smile one more day!

[hideous82]

Me encanta esta canción.

^_^

[XanDarkHeart]

Something simply beautiful made out of many different things, I wish everyone could see the beauty in the small things.

[Caronte468]

Awesome

[queeneve]

This is one of my favorite videos of all time.

[GothBBW]

It's beautiful to see the diversity of the types of people that Placebo's music touches. They transcend gender, race, and age. They are a band that speaks to not just one generation, not just one nation, and that's what makes them great. Placebo forever!

[TheKidharsh]

@GothBBW he touch's allot. even through the song wasn't sung originally by him.. he sings it better and puts better meaning behind it. <3

[noakoner]

@GothBBW its a cover you moron. not an original.

[dweebcentric]

@GothBBW - umm.... that may be a bit of an overstatement.

[xxpeniskingxx]

@GothBBW And most non-trend music doesn't?

[krackerjackers]

#EMI

[NathanPaulPrince]

He sounds like the singer from the Pet Shop Boys

[gufsgrrrl19]

@NathanPaulPrince  omg, that's exactly what I thought too, when I first heard the song. everyone I've mentioned that to disagrees lol.

[b03dest]

the lady at 3:30 annoys me. so do all the people who are acting like theyre singing the song too much. Its cool seeing them looking distant and just talking the lyrics not over acting

[ImportSys]

Can't wait to see you this year in Exit 2010 Serbia !!! Love ya !

[dwohlust]

this is what fanfiction is all about

[TheKidwonder08]

Awesome Video.

[SoulBloodAlchemist]

Personally 0:53 and 2:03 are super pretty:)

[dgeorge00]

This is such an amazing song!!

[WhenMyTearsRun]

the girl at 2:50 is really pretty, i think. <3

[12acso]

@WhenMyTearsRun isnt it a guy?

[HouseGirl991]

[jb4480]

this is AWSOME!!!!!!!!! I'm not even super into Placebo but this is really really great. specially after watching the horrible new Christina Aguilera video. I've just recovered my faith in humanity. Tks Placebo, Placebo fans and above all KATE BUSH.

[LakyOkkeGuy]

blonde girl 3.15 ... lovely.. cute.. *-*..

[borgeision]

LOL what a bunch of fags. I like Placebo but this shit is lame and gay. Cookie cutter as well, sheeps.

[jamesdjordan]

[xibxang]

so very powerful. amazing

[leandroitaly80]

Dio quanto odio ste cagate amatoriali da adolescienti

[CkSkaters07]

The original by Kate bush is far better

[madelight]

This song is so pure... I love it...

3:03 :  This guy is handsome... x_x

[mewcassieoneechan]

@madelight i think thats a girl. :D

[asforemita]

1:25

the guy is just like that actor from che guevara movie!

[Nancyboy21]

@asforemita The 1: 25 guy is really hot, I fell in love. And the actor's name is Gael García Bernal.

[asforemita]

@Nancyboy21 - Yes he is a good locking guy (i am a boy and i am straight hehe =P)... but hey... you agree with me that he looks with Gael Garcia Bernal?

Thanks for reminding me, that was exactly the name i was trying to say.

[Nancyboy21]

@asforemita Yeah, definitely. Both are gorgeous, but I prefer the 1:25 guy, ha, ha!

[marinaaleksova]

So much hate for the ones we love?

Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

[Transanna]

This song holds so much meaning for... I've tried to make that deal, only GOD knows how many times.

[tev1880]

[digidank81]

@rickster78 youtube.com/watch?v=KKY5MsFvQi­k

[SophaloafZombie]

@Tobester13 When I first glanced at this, I thought you meant 1:21 and I was waiting to see a very pretty girl... 1:21 is not a very pretty girl at all.

[b03dest]

@SophaloafZombie I lol'd

[joby613]

@Tobester13 Don't tell us, dumdum, tell her. Then you guys can get married and have darling kids.

[PhoenixAssassin999]

@Tobester13 youtube.com/watch?v=KKY5MsFvQi­k

[SeryiVolk2009]

@Tobester13 - She's also at 4:42 - not that I'm counting...

[woodspsx1]

@Tobester13

 yes she is

[ModelFetish]

@Tobester13

That girl reminds me of Rachel Nichols.

[Alyssa71808]

This song goes perfectly with Daybreakers. LOVE IT!

[humpinchoww]

3:24 she's pretty :)

[alanis2007]

omg havent heard this in a loooong time....

[120pure021]

this is one of the BEST songs made by fans!

[1outof5starz]

the girl at 0:18 has got to be my dream girl!!!! shes better looking than any other fucking chick in the world

[NerdyCanadian]

I like this cover, but too many emo faggots in the vid for my taste.

[binauralbabe10hz]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

[andypandystar]

love the song, but it had so much potential for a gradual crescendo and just really go for it at the end, and then go into the quieter bit, but still absolutly GREAT song :)

[Shard179]

I love both versions of this song, but think Placebo does it better

[murphyreads]

this song is for you

[natesuniverse]

Song is almost addictive!! Actually it is.

[Sleepyflowar]

You don't wanna hurt me,

but see how deep the bullet lies.

♥

[nilovroman]

[RavenSkyler]

Hey landy321 the girl @ 2:49 is HOTTTTTTT as well
