Breathe breathe, believe, believe - We are Loud Like Love - C à vous, France 5


A soulful version of  Loud Like Love

The interviewer is Anne Sophie Lapix, for the frenchtv show “C à vous” (you can translate it phonetically  “it’s your turn”).


In this show, people have dinner while being interviewed. Brian arrives for the dessert.



Anne Sophie: And Brian Molko has just joined us. Thank you Brian, we are delighted to welcome you here.
Brian: Good evening.

Anne Sophie: Especially because you have a little surpise for us, so we are absolutely delighted!
Georges, please let us know what this dessert is!
They explain what this wonderful dessert is (caramel and chocolate!!!)!

Anne Sophie: Brian, I’m back to you. But first, we haven’t had the time to play a little video about Louis Garrel, who plays the role of your husband in the play [she is speaking to another guest] and he had a little thing to say, have a look.
This video is about someone else…. No need of translation, there is nothing interesting about Placebo or Brian!! ;-)

Anne Sophie: Brian Molko, you speak English very well of course but you also speak French  very well. That’s an advantage for us! You’re here to introduce us your new album Loud Like Love. Your 7th opus, after 4 years of absence.  Has it been difficult to find the inspiration again?
Brian: No, not really
Anne Sophie: No?
Brian: No, no
Anne Sophie: Four years… It’s a bit long, isn’t it?




Brian: Well, normally, we’re on tour for two years. Then we have a break for six months. This time we had a break for eleven months!
Anne Sophie: Ah ok, we must have been a little bit impatient! But I think you began to work on this album as a solo one? And then, your team joined you?
Brian: Well, during those eleven months, I kept on writing. I just wanted to know if I was able to do it without …
Anne Sophie: your acolytes (fellows)?



Brian: My acolytes, yes! But it has not been a really fixed project. It was not an ambition to record a solo album. Not necessarily.  We’ve met in the studio and we lacked equipment. So I offered some.
Anne Sophie: Right. So, there is more space for your voice on this album. On the others there were more space for the musical instruments, but there is more space for the lyrics too.




Brian: Yes. Our producer has… He hasn’t forced me but he has encouraged me to push my voice a lot in the mix, on this album.
Anne Sophie [talking to the other woman]: Valeria, are you acquainted  with their music? You’ve been lulled in classical music but …?




Valeria: Yes I really like it!
Anne Sophie: Do you have a rock side in you?
Valerie: Yes, a bit! I like it.  Can’t see it by the way I’m dressed???!!!
Anne Sophie: Yes, totally!
Brian, I think your father has Italian origins, or?




Brian: Hum, French and Italian.
Anne Sophie: So do you speak Italian as well?
Brian: No, unfortunately.




Anne Sophie:  So, I let you go on stage. And you won’t have any time to try your dessert! Maybe after.
They’ve sold more than 11 million albums worldwide, and they are back with the 7th studio album: Loud 
Like Love. 


They will be in Paris Bercy on December the 10th. Brian Molko, you’ve been joined by Stefan Olsdal, for an unprecedented performance : Loud Like Love. Take it from here.
LOUD LIKE LOVE…

"Loud Like Love"

Love on an atom, love on a cloud
To see the birth of all that isn't now
Can you imagine a love that is so proud?


It never has to question why or how
Total abandon the love in my dreams
When I wake up I'm soaking in my sheets



Breathe, breathe
Believe, believe, believe, believe



For all of our youth
We have craved them
Their beauty and their truth



Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe
Believe, believe, believe, believe
Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe
Believe, believe
That we are loud like




Love on an atom, love on a cloud
To see the birth of all that isn't now
Can you imagine a love that is so proud?
It never has to question why or how


For all of our youth
We have craved them
Their beauty and their truth


So we name them
And somehow they pull us through
We have craved them
For all of our youth




Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe
Believe, believe, believe, believe



We are loud like love
We are loud like love
We are loud like love
We are loud like love
We are loud like love


We are loud like love
We are loud like love
We are loud like love
We are loud like love
