it's Wednesday and therefore our favorite topic can continue again.

The first lullaby puts you in the mood for a gentle evening mainly thanks to Brian's voice, even though the lyrics take us again to the dark depths of the human ego.

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. You understand reality and you see that the memories you have can make a person seem very different.“

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.

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.

The original version comes from unique singer Sinรฉad O'Connor. Do you already know which song we are talking about?

Placebo covered the song in 2003 and released it on their single DVD “This Picture”. It can also be found on the album “Covers”.

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.



Enjoy a great live performance of Jackie from ⭐๐‹๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐Œ๐Ÿ” ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ ๐…๐ซ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ” and I'm really looking forward to

๐Ÿ”ธDear Soulmates, today, i'd like to talk a bit about the 80's and Placebo.

Placebo is a band who grew up in the 80's and keep saying they are children of the 80's.

" So when we cover songs, we have a tendency to go back to the 80s and cover songs which got us interested in pop music. That's why you've got Johnny and Mary by Robert Palmer, that's why you've got Daddy Cool by Boney M -- or Running up that hill, for that matter. These are songs which remind us of our childhood and make us feel nostalgic, which is why we try to do something modern with them.”

This decade was heterogeneous where pop music, disco, rock, punk, synth pop went along coast to coast. A large part of their covers are songs from the 80's as they grew up during that decade. Let's go back to Placebo world through these songs. ๐Ÿ”ธ

Although Daddy Cool was released in 1976, this disco tune kept being aired on radio stations and on TV programs all through this decade (and even nowadays).

Brian replied the same at Taratata in 2009 when he was asked what song he'd dream to cover.

A long-standing desire for Brian it would seem. To be honest, I am quite curious how it could sound between Placebo's hands ! ๐Ÿ˜Š

๐Ÿ”ธWe can say Placebo are not influenced by the 80's music sonically speaking because even the covers have this particular and recognisable Placebo sound. They like these songs at a personal level. But it can't be denied what attracted them too was the artists who got their very own personal touch (Talk Talk, Kate Bush). and their own strong personality. Although Placebo did not cover any of Serge Gainsbourg's songs from the 1980s, he was (and remains) an important figure in the media landscape during that period. Gainsbourg's strong personality was not lost on Brian.


๐Ÿ’ฌ"I grew up listening to his songs. Along with ๐ต๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘™, he remains my favourite singer.

A political act Gainsbourg did in order to denounce high taxes, which is still today in every mind here.

The 80's songs Placebo decided to cover are more than just danceable tunes, they all deal with strong, deep and true emotions, which lead to internal questionings about ourselves or about the world we live in through the lyrics or the videos. A significant and valuable topic for the band. It may be a way for them to beat this nostalgic feeling when they listen to them ? ๐Ÿ”ธ


I'd like to share Nik Kershaw's cover because it was the one I was the most happily surprised when I first heard it because I've always loved it since my childhood ๐Ÿ’•
