🎤 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐥𝐤𝐨: Thank you very much! We are very grateful. We wanted to do something different.
𝐓𝐨𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬, 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐭.
🎤 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 : We thought the self-titled track was probably the most Placebo-ish track. So we decided to take a little risk and start the promo with something different. To start the campaign with piano notes.
𝐘𝐞𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐢𝐭. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲…
🎤 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 : When you think 'Placebo', you think 'guitar'. We didn't want to confuse the genres but to create a little bit of interest with something different. To take a little risk. That's what we did and it worked out really well actually.
𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥. 𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠, 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐞́𝐞𝐬. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐞́𝐞𝐬?
🎤 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 : I was looking for something that rhymed with 'gay', that wasn't 'way', 'say', 'play'. So the Champs Elysées, why not! The French will love it [laughs]
𝐈𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞, 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥.
🎤 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 : Merci.

My computer thinks I'm gay
I threw that piece of junk away
On the Champs-Elysées
As I was walking home
This is my last communique
Down the superhighway
All that I have left to say
In a single tome
I got too many friends
Too many people that I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
'Cause I'll never be there
If I could give it all away
Will it come back to me someday?
Like a needle in the hay or an expensive stone
But I got a reason to declaim
The applications are to blame
For all my sorrow and my pain
Of feeling so alone
I got too many friends
Too many people that I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
'Cause I'll never be there
My computer thinks I'm gay
What's the difference anyway
When all the people do all day
Is stare into a phone
I got too many friends
Too many people that I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
'Cause I'll never be there
Too many friends
Too many people that I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
'Cause I'll never be there
I'll never be there.
