💦 𝑵𝑶𝑳𝑨'𝑺 𝑲𝑬𝒀 💦

🔷 𝑵𝒐𝒍𝒂'𝒔 𝑲𝒆𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 2005 𝒃𝒚 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔 𝑩𝒂𝒛𝒐𝒈𝒆, a French artist who has a very particular approach to art. He finds inspiration in many fields, from "𝑠𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒, 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑠, 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑑𝑟𝑜𝑝 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 ℎ𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑛 𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠". On his website, Nicolas introduces Nola's Key in the following terms: "𝑁𝑜𝑙𝑎'𝑠 𝑘𝑒𝑦 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑛 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑠ℎ 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠, 𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑟𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑘𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑎 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑒𝑐ℎ𝑛𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑖𝑒𝑠".

🔷 𝑵𝒐𝒍𝒂'𝒔 𝑲𝒆𝒚 used several 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 tracks for this mix. It starts with the instrumental 𝑰𝒐𝒏, the B-side of 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑼𝒔, followed by 𝑷𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝑷𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑨𝒈𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆, 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝑴𝒆, 𝑺𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝑶𝒇 𝑮𝒊𝒓𝒍𝒔, 𝑨𝒔𝒌 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑨𝒏𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑲, 𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑬𝒚𝒆𝒅, 𝑻𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆 𝑰𝒏 𝑴𝒆𝒏, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑬𝒏𝒅, 𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒚. The result is quite captivating.✨💗

🔷 The drums and some arrangements were added by Nicolas himself.

🔷 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏's voice is taken from an interview he did at France Inter in 2003, according to 𝑵𝒐𝒍𝒂'𝒔 𝑲𝒆𝒚 . I searched for this interview and found no trace of it... and that's a crying shame ! 😒

🔷 Knowing that 𝑵𝒐𝒍𝒂'𝒔 𝑲𝒆𝒚 approaches his creations in a philosophical way, it is very interesting to note the "meaning of life" side he has given to this sound montage. The selected sentences ask questions about loneliness and emotional dependence, learning life lessons from mistakes, but moving on regardless. 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 has often stated in interviews his insecurities and lack of self-confidence, which he compensates for on stage or transfers into his often cathartic lyrics.

💬 I invented a character very confident, brash, yelling - that was an exaggeration of myself. A circus freak and a party freak... It is a way to stop feeling anything, to deceive my lack of confidence, the hate of myself... And also part ways with a chronic depression that follows me since adolescence. Because if I could speak through songs, I was unable to do it everyday...

💬 I don't have confidence in a great deal of things in my life, but I have an unfaltering confidence in the ability of Placebo to put on an amazing live rock'n'roll show, because we give a shit !

🔷 On the subject of 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔, this quote from 1997 says a lot about the weight it has on 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏:
💬 I didn’t envisage all this would be such hard work. You lose touch with your friends, and it has a really bad effect on relationships with people who have meant a hell of a lot to you. In fact, my job has contributed to the falling apart of the last meaningful relationship that I had, which happened quite recently. It gets very lonely, you spend a lot of time in the limelight and then - Bang ! - five minutes later you aren’t.

🔷 Not knowing the original interview, I am therefore unable to say whether 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒔 𝑩𝒂𝒛𝒐𝒈𝒖𝒆 has left these sentences as they are or whether he has truncated and combined the sentences to give them a totally new and different meaning.

🔷 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠 ? Simply thanks to 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒔 𝒁𝒆́𝒈𝒖𝒕, a great friend of Placebo ! 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒔 played 𝑽𝒊𝒗𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒐𝒏 𝑯𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒊𝒓𝒆 on his radio show 𝑷𝒐𝒑 𝑹𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 and by word of mouth, that's how 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 knew it decided to 𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒊𝒙 𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒓.

💬 At that time Facebook was just starting to take its first steps, and Nicolas Bazoge had no idea of the buzz the remix was creating among fans.

It was only much later, when he discovered by chance the number of views of an unofficial video of the remix on Youtube that he understood.

After several months of twists and turns, Nicolas finally met the power trio backstage at the Terra-Neuvas festival in Bobital in 2007, marking the end of a story that would remain one of the most exciting and creative moments of his early life, and Placebo, the most significant musical revelation of his adolescence.

🔷 I really like the remix and the story behind it. 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 has repeatedly shown interest in the creativity of fans by using their creation. I can easily understand why they liked this mix by 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒔 𝑩𝒂𝒛𝒐𝒈𝒖𝒆. It is captivating, clever, deep, ingenious, inventive ! ⭐💖 ⭐
