Do you notice how we gradually move from the earliest Placebo albums to the next ones? I may have missed some songs, but this is a pilgrimage of lullabies that please my soul, and of course not everyone necessarily agrees with my choice.
My main goal is to continue to take you through slow versions of Placebo's fast rock hits.
Today's choice fell on a song from the ๐Œ๐„๐ƒ๐’ ๐š๐ฅ๐›๐ฎ๐ฆ:

๐Ÿ”นWhen I first heard this song on the Meds album, it seemed like a clear straight return to the old Placebo. A great song with not too complicated text that again, as is usual with Brian's lyrics, can be interpreted in multiple ways.

๐Ÿ”นBut true love only came with the slow version that I heard for the first time - in a live performance at the M6 Private concert in 2006.
Suddenly the lyrics is more speculated.. More contradictory...
Do you feel the same way?
That the rhythm and musical arrangement will change your perception of the text?

๐Ÿ”นOriginally a very brisk song, it seems to indicate a clear solution - things are the way they are (narrator's alcoholism) and you, my love, make your choice, because you know I want you anyway...
๐ŸŽถ"๐˜‹๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ'๐˜ต ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ถ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ

๐Ÿ”นBut once the rhythm of the song slows down, the narrator's greater indecision becomes apparent. He knows that his actions (alcohol) are destroying their beautiful relationship.
๐ŸŽถ"๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ช ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ป ๐˜'๐˜ฎ ๐˜ข๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ..

And that's why he's trying to tell her that she should end it, because he can't...

๐Ÿ”นBut love is difficult precisely in how ambiguous it is and what difficult decisions and tests it brings...
Maybe the narrator is saying -
I'll give up alcohol '๐™—๐™š๐™˜๐™–๐™ช๐™จ๐™š ๐™„ ๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช...'๐Ÿ’—

๐ŸŽค Well, that's the challenging equilibrium you try and strike every time you make a new record: trying to push the boundaries and limits of your sound without repeating yourself. You have to try to do something new, exciting and fresh with the band's sound and play with the band's conceived identity, but at the same time not disregarding what makes you uniquely 'you'.

๐ŸŽค I think so! The greater the body of work, the more difficult it becomes to write a fresh song; it becomes a lot more challenging. As far as longevity is concerned, I think if you look at the careers of the likes of The Cure or Depeche Mode - I use those examples because they both released albums this year, 30 years into their career - well they've made music, since day one, purely on their own terms, unaffected, unconcerned by trends, movements and fashion in music. They followed their own path and stuck to their guns, and I think that's why they're still making records which are still worthwhile listening. We're 15 years in, and that's where I'd like to be in another 15. It's not like we have any other options; we're basically unemployable, you know, so this is it.

๐ŸŽค I started looking back on my career around the time of Meds [fifth studio album, released in 2006]. As a lyricist I thought I was using a great deal of gimmicks. For example, the whole chemistry/medicine cabinet routine that is Commercial for Levi or a song title that screams 'Look at Me!' that is Nancy Boy! I made a decision that I wanted to stop using gimmicks and address the bigger questions in more everyday language where possible, and try and simplify it, I suppose. Say more by saying less, that's kinda the trip I'm on right now.

๐ŸŽค Everybody who writes wants to write stuff that's timeless and doesn't date, really. I think you have to be very careful if you want to do that. You have to tap into the spirit of the age but at the same time write something that transcends it. I don't think that using incredibly culturally specific language enables you to do that. So, I'm trying to transcend that and write something that can stand up to the music that I grew up listening to. Take Leonard Cohen, for example. There's a universality in his music and a simplicity which makes it appreciable and meaningful in any decade, any century really. I think that's what I'm trying to do, hopefully in some way making a difference.

๐ŸŽค It's good to have an intelligent person running one of the most powerful countries and someone who generally cares. I'm less sympathetic towards the economic problems that exist right now than some people might be, because I have never been able to understand the whole culture of living beyond your means. I mean, I've been unemployed for a long time, I've been homeless, I've slept in train stations and I didn't spend money that didn't belong to me. So I find it difficult to be incredibly sympathetic with the culture of avarice that has got us into this position.


The other thing that annoys me about this whole focus on our economic woes is that nobody is talking about the environment anymore, and if anything is going to get us in the ass, it's going to be that. The hole in the ozone layer is still there, 20 years after they discovered it, and it's getting bigger and bigger, yet this isn't news. I want to be involved in the world. I think it comes from being a parent; you want to try and contribute to make a place for your children to grow up in that's hopefully a little bit better than where you were. Unfortunately, it seems that we are heading straight towards some form of environmental armageddon, and perhaps we deserve to go the same way as the dinosaurs for our treatment of the planet.

Another thing that caught my attention in this interview is that ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’'s last answer reminded me of what he mentioned about the environment in the Placebo interviews we read earlier this year.

I'm a big fan of unconventional interviews like this one with Brian about the Seven Deadly Sins and which of them he is guilty of. I find such unusual approaches always very interesting and worth reading, how about you?.

Vanity, envy, gluttony, lust, wrath, greed and sloth... can you guess Brian's favourite sin? And which ones are the sins you commited from this list? Not to brag, soulmates, but it seems I only left out one of the seven capital sins in my life so far. In other words: My score is 6/7. And yours?

Outspoken in the press, dolled-up on stage and once one of the most notorious party animals on the scene, Brian Molko isn't shy of breaking a few rules. Who better then, to quiz about the Seven Deadly Sins?

“That's a good one. I'm the vainest of the band, definitely. Myself and Stefan spend a lot of time in front of the mirror playing with our hair and worrying about our clothes. I have a lot of “Does my bum look big in this?“ moments. I think it winds Steve [Hewitt] up a bit, but he's a vain guy too, only in a more masculine way. It's a very big part of what we do I suppose and a very big part of what pushes you to go on stage. I don't think there'd be as much dressing up on stage if there weren't a great deal of vanity involved. So I'm 100 percent guilty.“


๐Ÿ. ๐Ÿ”ป๐„๐๐•๐˜๐Ÿ”บ
“Envy makes me think of that moment in Spinal Tap where the band meet some rock star who's bigger than them and they're all nice and friendly. Then when he walks away they call him a wanker. I'm guilty of that moment as well, though the bands it's with will remain nameless. But I'm envious of lots of things. I'm envious of people with better bodies than me, people who are taller than I am.“

“I think I'm coming out of my secret over-indulgent stage. That was basically most of my 20ies where I'd take anything that was going and too much of it at any opportunity. I think it was very much a case of trying to numb a lot of my insecurities and low self-esteem by putting myself in a haze and avoiding reality. I'm better now, thankfully.“


๐Ÿ’. ๐Ÿ”ป๐‹๐”๐’๐“๐Ÿ”บ
“Oh, my favourite! I'm a very lustful person, mainly towards other people. My lust means I have huge moral dilemmas on a daily basis. It's got me into far too much trouble. But unfortunately, no matter how much make-up I put on my face I can't alter the fact that I'm a man.“


๐Ÿ“. ๐Ÿ”ป๐–๐‘๐€๐“๐‡๐Ÿ”บ
“I don't get angry that often, but when I do it's in a way that's quite particular to people who are small in stature – when they lose it they really fucking lose it. It's a bit like a pressure cooker, I have a tendency to let it build up inside of me then really blow and go apeshit. I start throwing stuff around and screaming. It's not very healthy and it's not a pretty sight. I get very upset when people treat us with disrespect in life in general. I have this feeling that people treat me like a kid a lot and look down their noses at me. That makes me very angry. But I think it's a kick back to things from my childhood that I haven't got over.“

“I'm not a particularly greedy person, I'm actually quite generous towards the people that I love and care about. I'd like to be filthy rich but then everybody would. I'm not obsessed with material possessions that much apart from records and clothes. I just don't see the point really. Being in a band doesn't make you greedier, it makes you more ambitious because every time you meet a challenge you have to set new ones and try and rise to those.“

“I go through stages but in general I'm a hard worker, I always have been. I find it difficult to take breakes because I'm so used to each day being full, I just get restless and I have to force myself to relax. But when I do get the chance I just do absolutely nothing. I'll sit around for days and try to shut my brain off, watch Neighbours twice a day. You feel a bit lost when you come off tour because there's no one to make your coffee for you or light your cigarettes!“

"It is unexpected to hear Brian Molko from Placebo on your album.
"Oh no! He knows Serge songs, he has already made a version of Melody Nelson, he played my part in a version of Je t'Aime Moi Non Plus. It's a very well-read boy, very clever. I thought only the French were so careful with the words, as with the English we just have to understand the title and we can dance. Brian Molko wrote a very strong, sassy song, in which he often has the cunning as Cole Porter, to throw a word on the next verse.

"Jealousy drove me to perform the song. I remember that Serge was getting a television crew and journalists to listen to the version he’d made with Bardot, which was never released, and there was a very pretty girl in a kilt lying on the sofa. When I saw how proud he was to get the journalists and the girl on the sofa to listen to it, I thought I’d better be the one to sing it, especially that other actresses were interested. Mireille Darc asked him: ‘So, Sergio, what has become of that little song ?’ I didn’t want him to end up in a telephone box with a beautiful girl recording another version of Je t’aime… moi non plus, as he’d done with Bardot. When he suggested I do it, I agreed immediately. We met up in a huge studio in Marbella and in two takes we had the final product. Back in Paris, we went for dinner in the wine cellar of the Hรดtel des Beaux Arts. There was a record player, and without saying a word, Serge put the song on and all of a sudden all the couples around us stopped talking, their knives and forks in mid-air. Serge pinched me and said: ‘I think we’ve got a hit record.’ We never thought for a moment that the song would become such a symbol of freedom all over the world. People listened to it in secret, from Spain to Argentina. The Pope banned it, BBC banned it too, and in Italy, the head of Phonogram Records was thrown into jail. I was making another bad film in Oxford and every day we saw Je t’aime… moi non plus climbing higher in the charts. It was crazy.”

Jane's fashion style was very casual and also very bold. She didn't try to hide her beautiful body.

She did not hesitate to wear a dress back-to-front at prestigious events. Her style was unique, she looked very charming even in plain jeans, a shirt unbuttoned to the waist and converse sneakers.„๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ข ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜บ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜‘๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜š๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜บ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ญ๐˜บ, ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค̧๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ๐˜บ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜—๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฐ ๐˜™๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด, ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ต. ๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ... ๐˜ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฏ'๐˜ต ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ป๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ง๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด' ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ข. ๐˜๐˜ง ๐˜ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ, ๐˜ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด!

'In 1981, Birkin was on a short flight from Paris to London. Carrying her famous straw basket, she placed it in the overhead compartment of her seat. However, the lid of the basket opened, and the contents spilled all over the floor and on the seats around her. Sitting next to her and assisting her in retrieving the contents of her basket was the late executive of Hermรจs, Jean-Louis Dumas. Birkin complained to Dumas that she was unable to find a suitable leather weekend bag that she liked. According to folklore, the remainder of the flight consisted of the pair designing a bag together and sketching ideas on an air sickness bag. …/.../

Since the creation of the very first Birkin bag, Jane Birkin has always carried one. However, true to her unique style and fashion, she has continually customized her bags with beads, trinkets, protest stickers, and other titbits to create a unique look.

…/.../ Birkin bags is now a modern and trendy pastime practiced by celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Tamara Ecclestone, and many others.'

Currently on her fifth bag after auctioning the first four for charity, Birkin’s philanthropy work is well documented. She often works with Amnesty International on humanitarian issues and donates her yearly royalties for the Birkin bag (approximately $50,000 per year) to a charity of her choice. In 2015, she had a brief disagreement with Hermรจs regarding the farming methods of alligators and crocodiles used to make the bags. Birkin’s request to remove her name from crocodile bags was swiftly met with a series of measures taken by the luxury manufacturer which satisfied Birkin and resulted in her dropping the request to remove her name from the bags.

"I suffered a lot because of my physique, especially at boarding school. The others said I was half boy, half girl. I had no breasts, not even a developing bosom. It was horrible. I was extremely lucky to meet Serge. When he was a student at the ร‰cole des Beaux Arts, he drew a girl, who looked just like a boy, except that she had breasts like mine. He took me to the Louvre to show me Cranach’s paintings and explained that I was a Cranach and that big breasts frightened him. He was exaggerating though. He had just come out of a relationship with Bardot, but Cranach’s was the type of beauty he preferred. After the misery of the boarding school and my marriage, it was incredible meeting someone who found me beautiful and decidedly erotic. He reconciled me with myself. When a man loves you, it changes everything.”

"I don’t believe in destiny. I think we can change everything all the time. Accidents are the best things in existence. They force you to leave a route that seemed to be mapped out, and it’s often when you branch out that you meet some incredible guy who changes your life or an unusual project that turns your career on its head. It’s often when things aren’t going well that we are forced into doing them differently and they suddenly become interesting.”

When you look back on certain relationships you can see who the person really was, which you couldn't at the time you were in it.

This piano ballad is a beautiful intimate confession of saying goodbye to my old self who was subject to self-destructive relationships. There are a lot of references to my old life... and some moments I'm really not proud of...

Sometimes I too 'burned' emotional cigarettes on the chest of the man who loved me. Such relationships are always self-destructive for both parties, because no matter how inflated your ego is, your heart will always show you that you have not behaved properly.

That's why I initially took this song as a mirror setting. That's what Placebo music can do. We are not always the victim in a relationship, sometimes it is necessary to admit that we have played the game on our side of the field and don't always play by the rules.

Today I know that self-awareness is the most important part of lived experiences. What my role was, what should I have understood from this situation and how important it is to be able to forgive, both myself and others.

„๐“๐‡๐ˆ๐’ ๐๐ˆ๐‚๐“๐”๐‘๐„“ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ค๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ.

It is important to know what we are willing to do to preserve a certain image we have of ourselves.
And it's important to remember that how we see ourselves can be different from how others see us.

Let's go to the second gem of the evening. In order to share some live video, I chose a non-Placebo song.

This epic story can be interpreted in different ways, in any case, performed by Brian, it's a breathtaking lullaby.

This song always connects me to my meditative moments by the sea.
I live inland, but I have been to the sea many times and I return with love every time. I always need to find a quiet place where I can sit undisturbed, watch the waves move, feel the sand moving under my feet and just be... part of the whole universe...

And when I look at that amount of untamed water that has tremendous power, I can imagine the pain of millions of people who have lost a loved one at sea. This great mass of water gives and takes life.

Although Sinead's original Jackie is beautiful, Brian makes me feel more of the pain, the non-acceptance of reality, the denial that it can't be over yet. The false hope that everyone must have been wrong. My love is still alive and coming for me.
