Placebo - I Know You Want To Stop (Minxus cover)

Dear soulmates,
Iโ€™d like to listen to ๐ˆ ๐Š๐๐Ž๐– ๐˜๐Ž๐” ๐–๐€๐๐“ ๐“๐Ž ๐’๐“๐Ž๐ with you tonight. Well, I know itโ€™s not the most famous song of Placeboโ€™s catalogue. And moreover, it is a cover. But thatโ€™s exactly what makes it interesting, I guess. Placeboโ€™s choices about songs to cover reveal their peculiar taste and profound knowledge on different genres of music, pretty specific artists including less known bands.


๐Ÿ“Thatโ€™s the case with ๐Œ๐ข๐ง๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฌ, the UK indie rock band who were active in the 90s but enjoyed a short lived career. Gavin Pearce (guitar/vocal), She Rocola (bass) and Joe Whitney (drums) released only one album ๐‘ท๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’–๐’๐’–๐’Ž in 1995 and split up shortly after.

๐Ÿ“Itโ€™s hard for me to say how much popular ๐ˆ ๐Š๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ ๐–๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐“๐จ ๐’๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ was back in the mid90s but, in my opinion, it might not be remembered that well 25 years after if Placebo didnโ€™t do their cover version of it.

โญ๏ธA curious fact: I found out that ๐Œ๐ข๐ง๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฌ played live with ๐€๐‚ ๐€๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐ฌ whose frontman ๐‘ท๐’‚๐’–๐’ ๐‘ช๐’‚๐’Ž๐’‘๐’Š๐’๐’ happened to be Brianโ€™s good friend (you may remember that he helped Brian with the lyrics for Every You Every Me, and the great line โ€œThere are twenty years to goโ€ also belongs to him). However, looks like the members of Minxus, AC Acoustics and Placebo got to know each other back then. Most likely, a raw punky sound of ๐ˆ ๐Š๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ ๐–๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐“๐จ ๐’๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ stuck in the back of Brianโ€™s head for years and just waited for a proper timeโ€ฆ
Finally, it was released as a second song on a five-track Placebo ๐„๐ ๐๐Ÿ‘ on October 15th, 2012.

๐ŸŽถThe song was played live by Placebo four times in total, all during the series of ๐‘จ-๐‘น๐’๐’„๐’Œ ๐’†๐’—๐’†๐’๐’•๐’” in summer 2012: at Bataclan, Paris (June 22), Atlantico Live, Rome (25 June), Hรคrterei Club, Zurich, (June 28) and Docks, Hamburg (July 2).

Besides the video from Hamburg that I uploaded for you, thereโ€™s another one from Paris, unfortunately not of the best quality, but itโ€™s a document still๐Ÿ˜Š

I know you want to stop
There is no return from this point on
Be glad for what you got
Maybe you won't take too long to burn
I recognize the smile
There are some things I cannot forget
It may be for a while
I'll pretend that we have never met
We have never met
We have never met
And maybe we will part
Will your paranoia keep you warm
I'll eat it from your heart
I will still enjoy to watch you fall
The credit starts too low
We take off our clothes and roll around
Boredom takes its toll
It shall be your eyes that let you down
Eyes that let you down
Eyes that let you down
You're still
You're still
You're still
Still...
I know you want to stop
I know you want to stop
Stop
You're still
You're still
You're still
Still...
You're still
You're still
You're still
Still...
I know you want to stop
Stop!
