Dear soulmates,
last week we opened the topic of songs that are a little different from the usual catalog of such a rebellious alternative rock band as Placebo undoubtedly is.
These are the songs we play when we go to sleep and need an escape from reality. Brian, as the narrator of his stories in slow songs, evokes in his voice not only love, passion, sensuality, but also a certain urgent restlessness... Don't you think?

Let's go to three songs today that still keep us within the bounds of the first album, and that's only because Placebo guys just know how to turn some of their fast songs into slow gems.
Last week, there was a wish among fans here to have the not-quite-final song from the "Placebo" album on this list of lullabies.

🎶💥𝔸𝕟𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕒𝕔𝕚𝕕𝕖 𝕝𝕦𝕝𝕝𝕒𝕓𝕪: „𝕊𝕎𝔸𝕃𝕃𝕆𝕎“💥🎶

The song 𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖 doesn't really end this album, although it seems so at first glance. After ten minutes, when Swallow ends,
🎶💥𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 "𝐇𝐊 𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋"💥🎶 starts playing in the silence.

A very strange, chilling, almost a bit scary sounding song. To a very interesting musical composition, Brian's voice sounds like part of a phone call, when it is very difficult to understand the whole lyrics perfectly.
And honestly, even if you understand the lyrics, you still don't know what the author is trying to convey, and it's up to each of us to invent a story for the lyrics... What is the song about?

🔹For example, tt could be about Marilyn Monroe… Information that she suffered from stammering in her youth as a result of very traumatic abuse is known.
🔹Or about Marylin Manson... (I'll leave it to your imagination here...)
🔹Or maybe about a dialogue... With someone who wants to commit suicide...
🔹Or about all these things together...

The song Swallow has never been performed live. You can read more about it below in the quote from
💥𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓 𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐙𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐆💥
🔹💬“My favourite song has always been Swallow. The first version of this Brian and Stefan recorded on acid when I was in Germany for a month in September ’94 visiting an ex-girlfriend of mine. When I heard it, I thought it was amazing: it really did something for me. The vocal sounding genuinely fucked up repeated over that eery bass motif and cool harmonics on the guitar (there were no drums on it). I believe Brian played bass on that, and Stefan the guitar. We never played it live because we could never really replicate the vibe of the original recording, even though I’m happy with the album version.

💥𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖💥
🔹💬 "'Swallow' is what happened the last time Stefan and I took acid. It could mean many things, I guess at first you might think it's about losing all your drugs, or maybe it's someone who's so wasted during sex they forget not to swallow. I don't know, it was never really written in a state of reality."

The interesting thing is that if according to Brian's opening quote, every song on this album is a story, then the song Swallow would end this whole album story quite possibly depressingly, even fatally... But when you let it flow smoothly into 💥"𝐇𝐊 𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋"💥, you will feel the gentle piano waft of love and hope...

So what do you guys think about this strange lullaby?
Maybe there are more people who don't find it very popular.
And that's why I want to improve your appetite for falling asleep with Placebo music.

🔹"36 degrees is close to body temperature. The person concerned is a little cold blooded. If someone gets too close, they have to push the person away. This is what the song means to me, but now it's public property, and people can interpret it in their own way."🔹

🔹"It's called that because 36 degrees is close to body temperature," explains Brian. "I guess it's all body metaphors. The sleeve has an arm and a leg wrapped in clingfilm, like they're being preserved. And you can put something in clingfilm and stick it in the refrigerator, or stick it in a microwave and warm it up or cool it down."🔹

It is the phone number of our favorite Indian restaurant. It's in London, in the east part"🔹

💥The original fast punky version of this song was first changed for the Wembley Arena concert in 2004 into a brilliant slow painful love song about a broken relationship.💥
Brian then introduced this version on stage saying:

🔹💬"𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘦-𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬. 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢 '𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘹' 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘢 '𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦', 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘢, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳...

Thanks to this change, a masterpiece was created, which allows us to feel even more the emotions that take over us when we listen.
