Dear friends, many of us experience these winter days worse than the rest of the year.

Short sunshine, cold weather, snow and frost...
In connection with various hardships in life, this period causes a more frequent tendency to depression and gloomy thoughts in many people, the world seems sadder, darker.

When you add to all of this the troubles with love, with the end of a relationship, when we are shocked, angry, aggressive or just totally desperate, it can knock us down to the very bottom.

For today's post, I have chosen a song that is the perfect anthem for all broken hearts.

🔥...𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨
𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥
𝘐'𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨
𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘥... 🔥

A perfect, heartbreaking anthem about the end of love. A drama about despair expressed in very moving words and complemented by a gentle combination of guitar and piano accompanied by a drum machine...

⭐𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎:

“𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐃” was written and recorded around 2002 when Placebo were working on covers with producer Dimitri Tikovoi.

Stefan: “We didn't want to make a B-side of it, so we kept the original recording for this album [“Meds”, released in 2006], just with vocals redone and more overdubs."

BLIND has been performed live 179 times, five of which were part of the setlist at intimate shows in 2022.

Lucky everyone who experienced this anthem about unrequited love live.

" Blind, included in Meds, is a somewhat alike song (I Know). The end of a relationship is kind like death. You have a life with someone and just suddendly, everything stops. The saddest part is that the world goes on and people go on minding their own business, without knowing the paint you feel. It's very interesting for an author to write about that."

𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏: It's a song for the girls.
𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏: I wrote it 4 years ago, like Post Blue, when we were recording our covers with Dimitri [Tikovoï]. The guitars are tuned in the same way on both tracks. At that time, we didn't want to make B-sides of them, we kept the original recording for this album [Meds], just with vocals redone and more overdubs.

Okay, so anyone who thought this song came from Brian's broken heart, might be wrong.

Fans can only speculate what all of Brian's experiences are in the lyrics of this painful ballad, as according to the quotes, the song Blind is mainly Stefan's child.
But a song is often created by a team... Someone suggests a musical line on the guitar or piano, someone comes up with a piece of verse...

🔹💬𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏? 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉?
"There’re no rules in fact. We try to stay very open. When it’s me that make the song, I can begin with a voice melody, when it’s Stefan, it more with a guitar, and when it’s Steve, it’s with drums. We can also begin with a piano line that Stef or me find accidentally, It’s often accidental."

I think that even the verses for Blind were created as a team, partly by Stefan, supplemented and completed by Brian. .. maybe...

🔹💬 You have often been accused of being an intellectual band, sometimes you use somewhat complex phrasings. But for me, as you said, you're a band with a dark romanticism mood and I can not help but quote one of the most beautiful sentences that I have ever read in a song. Here's the quote. This is an excerpt from the title Blind.

You will tell me if my choice is right.

'...𝙄'𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙯𝙚 𝙪𝙨 𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 /...𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 /
...𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙜𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚...'

𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘭𝘺𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘣𝘶𝘮.
Yeah what I see, first, there is an incredible musicality. Afterwards, all you have to do is adding the music, but it's already there intrinsically in the sentence. And above all, tell us the truth, you're a Shakespeare fan? It's Romeo and Juliet. A bit like that.
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦. 𝘚𝘰 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘺. 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘫𝘰𝘣 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 ... 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐'𝘮 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰.

Of course, when we see Brian tearfully wailing into the microphone .... 🔥"𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥....𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦... 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦...."🔥 , we're not far from the idea that in that moment, in his role as narrator, he can recall any of his pain of an involuntarily ended relationship, the pain of a lost love, the pain of a loved one leaving💔

⭐For me, this ballad has always evoked my personal memory of a relationship between lovers that was affected by drug addiction.

It was about my friends from my youth and their suffering that almost resulted in the death of that girl. Fortunately, she eventually came out of her coma in the hospital and entered a drug addiction treatment facility.

Nevertheless, it was the end of great love, because the boy's parents, fearing for their son's life, moved so far away that the two lovers could no longer see each other. Life sometimes brings experiences that are very cruel and take a painful place in our souls for the rest of our lives.

Thanks to these experiences of my friends, I can't forget the very special movie 🔹'𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦'🔹, in which 𝐉𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐨 played the main role. I agree with the fan who used bits from this movie as the 'official' video for the BLIND song.

For the end of today's post I have chosen a live performance from ⭐𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐮𝐱 𝐉𝐚𝐳𝐳 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟕, that is really very emotional...
It seems as if for Brian the microphone is the materialization of all his painful breakups...
