๐ It's one of the first song
the band worked on after the Black Market Music Tour, during their
break. This song is built on a repetition like Taste in Men. It is
about long distance love, about two lovers who are separated. In the
song, the protagonist looks up at planes flying high in the sky where
his lover is flying to her destination, "I'm in the basement,
you're in the sky". The repetition in the music can be a mirror
to the pain the character is feeling: a long lasting absence, anguish
and sadness.
๐ฌ As with Taste in Men, I was
trying to write something repetitive. A kind of mantra about
leaving... My lover leaves me to travel, I look at the planes in the
sky, I think she might be in one of them. I'm still in London, it's
summer, it's raining, it's boring and I miss her terribly.

๐ฌ This is one is the fisrt
songs we started working on during the break period. During the eight
months between touring, (the Black Market Tour ending) and going back
into the studio. At that time, I was on a bit of Hip-Hop trip and
wrote a couple of other tracks which are quite Dr. Dre inspired and
that one was the most Placebo out of all of them.It has real kind of
DJ Shadow flavour to it as well. It's a simple song, I think, as
well, about missing somebody really, about being in England during
the summer while it's raining and the person you love is gallivanting
around the globe flying to sunny places and just wishing they were
there.

๐ The English Summer Rain video is very special and different from anything Placebo has ever delivered. Brian, Stefan and Steve appear as animated puppets, playing their instruments in front of the well known ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐.
๐ A character also appears in his living room, looking worried and impatient, waiting, overthinking ? It was created by ๐ฎ๐๐́๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐ , a South African fan who put all the chances on his side ๐ ๐

๐ข ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐: This is an interesting video. This is the first time that we used animation. In fact, this video was sent to us by a fan from South Africa. So it proves that initiative and persistence pays off. We find it very amusing to look ourselves as puppets. He was actually at college when he did this. He'd spend all of his time not doing his homework and doing that animation instead.
It makes us giggle. It's interesting to see ourselves in puppet form.
๐ข ๐บ๐๐๐๐: A fantastic job. The movements of the puppets and everything.

This version is the remix from the album by Dimitri Tikovoi. It
features extra lyrics on the end.

๐ The lyrics of the single contain extra lyrics which can be seen on both covers of the CDs. It magnifies the lack that the character feels, to the point of taking his breath away.
