Hi soulmates,
it's another Wednesday with no important Placebo anniversary, so we meet again for our series of lullabies.

With today's beautiful ballad, we end the era of the Battle For The Sun album, which was not too inclined to slow songs compared to the previous Meds album.

Here we see that this also confirms the departure from the dark Med's ballads towards the light, which does not eliminate the problems of human coexistence, but helps to see them more clearly and positively. ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ง ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐š๐ฅ๐›๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ฐ๐š๐ฌ ๐š๐ง ๐ž๐ฑ๐œ๐ž๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.

”There is definitely a bigger sense of hope and optimism on this record, but Placebo's music and lyrics are never going to be like a dance in a field of flowers you know? There is always the fascination in there with the darker side of human emotions.”

It's the tenth track on the BFTS album, right after Julien, whose energetic sound makes us dance... and then comes this bitter-ironic-melancholic and very emotional ballad.

"A melodic break-up song, ‘Happy You’re Gone’ is rumoured to be about the band’s split from former drummer Steve Hewitt (although this has never been confirmed) and finds Molko in turmoil on its chorus “How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye”. The swelling strings and more restrained pace were a marker of this period of Placebo, pointing to the direction they’d take on next album Loud Like Love."

Okay, it could just be another sad song symbolizing the end of a relationship between two people.
But this lullaby describes exactly the state where you convince your mind that this stage of life is over, while your heart is full of living painful wounds, bleeding and crying.
And Brian really knows how to get me into these emotions.

Not only with his lyrics, but especially with his voice.

How gently he begins...

Breathe me every time you close your eyes
Taste me every time you cry
This memory will fade away and die
Just for today, breathe me and say goodbye
How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye
Now I can't look you in the eye
How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye
See me, in the eyes of another's child
Turn away, when you see me walking by
Once in a while
This melody will fade away and die
Just for today, breathe me and say goodbye
How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye
Now I can't look you in the eye
How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye
And I don't even want to try
My my
'Cause every word from you is a lie
My my
How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye
Now I can't look you in the eye
How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye

Could this be a song about Steve Hewitt's bitter departure from the band? It certainly can, and many of you think so.
Honestly, I don't care whose departure cut such deep wounds in Brian's heart that he wrote this song.

Anyway, Brian has been at pains to point out in concerts ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’” ๐’”๐’๐’๐’ˆ ๐’Š๐’” ๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’๐’–๐’• '๐‘ต๐‘ถ๐‘ฉ๐‘ถ๐‘ซ๐’€'...

It's also possible that Brian is getting a little tired of people making so many parallels, searching for direct connections between each line of every song and his private life...
However, with Brian's sense of poisonous irony, we can also count on the fact that this was someone very important in his life...and maybe it's the rendition of more such relationship breakdowns, just suddenly, in some strange melancholic mood, this ballad was born in the composer's mind.

But...
...at the end of the video from ๐‚๐ข๐ซ๐ช๐ฎ๐ž ๐‘๐จ๐ฒ๐š๐ฅ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฌ, ๐๐ž๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ง ๐‰๐ฎ๐ง๐ž ๐Ÿ, ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ— I'm sharing with you, Brian said something very special๐Ÿ’—.

Can this help us to better understand this lullaby?

๐Ÿ’ฆ“…๐‘ฐ๐’•’๐’” ๐’๐’Œ, ๐’ˆ๐’–๐’š๐’”, ๐’š๐’๐’– ๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐’ƒ๐’† ๐’”๐’†๐’๐’”๐’Š๐’•๐’Š๐’—๐’† ๐’•๐’๐’, ๐’š๐’๐’– ๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐’„๐’“๐’š… ๐‘พ๐’๐’Ž๐’†๐’ ๐’๐’๐’—๐’† ๐’Ž๐’†๐’ ๐’˜๐’‰๐’ ๐’„๐’“๐’š, ๐’…๐’๐’’๐’• ๐’š๐’๐’–?.. ๐‘ซ๐’๐’’๐’• ๐’š๐’๐’–?!”๐Ÿ’ฆ

What made Brian make such a tender statement to all the men in the venue?
We probably won't know the exact reason.

But my thoughts lead me to the topic of men's mental health, which concerns both Brian and Stefan personally and Olga had the same idea in one of her old posts.
While preparing a post about Project Alpha, I learned that the percentage of male suicides in the UK is on the rise. The social paradigm is mainly to blame, it's the pressure that leads men to suppress their emotions because that's how the male role in society has historically been set up. And it is clear that this topic does not only concern men in the UK...
And since human consciousness has been undergoing a profound transformation in recent years, it is time to say:

๐Ÿ’—๐‘ซ๐’†๐’‚๐’“ ๐’ˆ๐’–๐’š๐’”, ๐’Š๐’•'๐’” ๐’•๐’Š๐’Ž๐’† ๐’‡๐’๐’“ ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ๐’†, ๐’š๐’๐’– ๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐’„๐’“๐’š, ๐’š๐’๐’– ๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐’ƒ๐’† ๐’”๐’†๐’๐’”๐’Š๐’•๐’Š๐’—๐’†, ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’Ž๐’๐’”๐’• ๐’Š๐’Ž๐’‘๐’๐’“๐’•๐’‚๐’๐’•๐’๐’š - ๐’„๐’๐’Ž๐’Ž๐’–๐’๐’Š๐’„๐’‚๐’•๐’† ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐’š๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐’‘๐’‚๐’“๐’•๐’๐’†๐’“๐’” ๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’๐’–๐’• ๐’†๐’—๐’†๐’“๐’š๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ, ๐’•๐’†๐’๐’ ๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’Ž ๐’‰๐’๐’˜ ๐’š๐’๐’– ๐’‡๐’†๐’†๐’.



Soulmates, I hope you enjoy this lullaby as much as I do. And again I will be glad for your open hearts. Let me know in the comments if this song also touches you emotionally and if it connects you with a bittersweet memory. And what do you think of Brian's words at the end of the song?

To avoid confusion, I should put everything about this song in perspective:
๐’๐Ž๐”๐‹๐Œ๐€๐“๐„๐’ is a rockier, more guitar driven version of the studio song ๐’๐ฅ๐ž๐ž๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐–๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐†๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ from the 2003 same-titled album.

However, we all know this version from concerts, because Placebo included it in the setlist instead of the original Sleeping With Ghosts.

Another difference is that “Soulmates” was recorded at Livingstone Studios in London and produced by Dimitri Tikovoi while “Sleeping with ghosts” was recorded at The Townhouse Studios (also located in London) and produced by Jim Abbiss.

Brian changed the order of the verses in the chorus a little bit to make this lullaby absolutely perfect.

At the beginning there are only simple piano notes... After a while, Brian's voice joins in, full of tenderness and so vulnerable...

In the second verse, Brian's voice is joined by the sound of bells and violin, which is soft at first and gradually becomes more and more insistent...

Brian repeats these lines very gently a few times before he concludes

Listening to this version, you will simply melt away, overwhelmed by your love of Placebo's music. Plus, the lyrics remind me that now more than ever, this song sadly fits the events of this time... when none of us know what tomorrow will bring, as the powers of this world play dice with our lives...

Today's second lullaby is just as beautiful as the first.
It comes from a song that in its fast, I would say almost rock punk form, reminds me of Placebo from the first album...

The prominent noisy guitars were swapped for piano and this again made space for Brian's even more challenging voice, turning the starkly punk version into a breathtaking confession of his desire for life change.

There is so much truth in those verses that touches me personally so I always feel very moved when I listen to this song.

I don't know how you feel, for me it is a song illuminated by spring rays, those that bring rebirth after a cruel, dark, hard winter. It is, along with Speak In Tongues, the most positive song on the whole album. The song directly calls out - look at us, after all we've been through, we rise like a mythical phoenix bird from the ashes, stronger, more beautiful, happier, full of faith in a better tomorrow.

"Let me put it this way — I have a theory about drugs and alcohol. There is a limited amount that a human being is able to consume in a course of a lifetime. Some people are sensible and consume the amount that’s able to stretch a lifetime. Some people who are not so sensible, like me and Stefan, consume that limited amount in a period of about 10 years. There comes a point that it doesn’t do anything for you that isn’t negative. In fact, it destroys your life and you lose everything. Then one has to either surrender to that, which most people do, which begins the inevitable descent to nothingness and emptiness. Or one takes the courageous step to try and rebuild one's life in a more positive way, which was what Stefan and I decided to do. It was one life choice and a major philosophical influence on the record."

Anyway, for Placebo it's a very atypical song, very original, it could be played on mainstream radio from morning till night as a pop rock anthem, spread that positivity to all listeners and it wouldn't be bad at all.

Cast your mind back to the days
When I’d pretend I was okay
I had so very much to say
About my crazy living
Now that I’ve stared into the void
So many people I’ve annoyed
I have to find a middle way,
A better way of giving

So I haven’t given up
But all my choices, my good luck
Appeared to go and get me stuck
In an open prison
Now I am trying to break free
Be in a state of empathy
Find the true and inner me
Eradicate the schism

No-one can take it away from me
And no-one can tear it apart
Because a heart that hurts is a heart that works
A heart that hurts is a heart that works

A heart that hurts is a heart that works

No-one can take it away from me
And no-one can tear it apart
It may be elaborate fantasy
But it’s the perfect place to start

Because a heart that hurts is a heart that works
A heart that hurts is a heart that works

“The lyrics are very autobiographic, a complete confession from my point of view. On former records I used to invent characters, through which I could talk about my feelings and fears. I used these characters as selfprotection and catalysator to express myself. This time I didn't do this. The voice of the storyteller is my own. I think this record is much more honest and personal with these lyrics.“

The video for this song was directed by Heroes for Zeroes and is the 24th official video of Placebo's career.

It's an absolute contrast between lived anxiety and rediscovered hope, the duality between darkness and light seems to confirm the theme not only of this song, but of the entire album.
๐Ÿ”น๐Ÿ’ฌ ๐’๐“๐„๐…๐€๐: “I mean that there seems to be quite a lot of light and dark themes with this record in terms of the album cover as the beginning. With the solar eclipse, you go to the light from the darkness to light it down. And what we’re trying to do in the video, is playing with the contrast between light and dark, so we’re kind of going from playing in the darkness together, and then we emerging and leaving to play into this quite illuminated backdrop.”

๐Ÿงฌ In 2018, ๐‘ผ๐‘ซ๐’Š๐’”๐’„๐’๐’—๐’†๐’“ has tried this exercise of finding the origins of Placebo. There are some very good points, as you can read in this article I'm sharing with you today.

◾ At first glance, the seventies have little in common with the nineties. There the debauched rock'n'roll lifestyle reigned, here the techno optimism of the early internet age. But in the nineties, rock music made a comeback. Grunge put on flannel shirts instead of spandex suits, Britpop dominated Britain. Placebo brought the two together and made the glam of yesteryear coexist with the hodgepodge that threatened to take over the pop world before the end of the second millennium.

◾Placebo frontman Brian Molko never tired of describing his band as outsiders. As phraseological as it sounds, it's true: Placebo's Nancy Boys rebelled against the legginess of the rock world, talked about bisexuality and depression. "We were reacting strongly to the machismo, the fan chants and the revisionism of Britpop," Molko stressed in an interview. "We wanted to make a political statement with the clothes we wore and the make-up we put on. They succeeded: The rock world became a little more queer with the band's success.

◾ Placebo is the name of a fake drug - a pill that doesn't work. But Placebo is also Latin for "๐ผ ๐‘ค๐‘–๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘๐‘™๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘’" and that's exactly what Molko, Stefan Osdal and their drummers - Robert Schultzberg, Steve Hewitt and more recently Steve Forrest - did with a sound that served punk as well as pop, that could be wonderfully quiet and deafening. It's a sound that goes straight to the heart and appeals not just to the fringe. To find out who inspired it, you have to look at Placebo's musical DNA.

◾ Given Placebo's history, it's not surprising that Placebo is an outsider in the rock world. Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal attended an American school in Luxembourg as teenagers, far from any musical activity. Both hung out in different cliques and never spoke to each other, until they met years later on the London Underground. Molko saw that the skinny Olsdal had a guitar strapped to his back and quickly invited him to play solo.

◾ It was a providential meeting. Totally enthused by Molko's talent, the native Swede insisted on making common cause with the Briton. They borrowed the name of the project from one of the most bizarre outsiders in rock history. "๐ผ๐‘ก ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘š๐‘’ ๐‘“๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘š ๐‘Ž ๐ถ๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘› ๐ต๐‘’๐‘’๐‘“โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘ก ๐‘™๐‘–๐‘›๐‘’," Olsdal recalls of the band's first name. "๐‘†โ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘‘ ๐‘š๐‘’ ๐‘™๐‘–๐‘˜๐‘’ ๐‘Ž๐‘› ๐‘Ž๐‘ โ„Ž๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘ฆ โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘ก". With Placebo, the two men came up with an even catchier name. "๐‘Œ๐‘œ๐‘ข ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘› ๐‘–๐‘š๐‘Ž๐‘”๐‘–๐‘›๐‘’ โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘ค 40,000 ๐‘๐‘’๐‘œ๐‘๐‘™๐‘’ ๐‘ โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘ก ๐‘–๐‘ก ๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘ก...", the bassist explains. Ashtray Heart, however, is also the title of a song on the album Battle for the Sun. The lyrics clearly allude to Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band.

◾Outsider or not: with their first album Placebo, the trio - which included Schultzberg alongside Molko and Olsdal - was a real hit. But now the two leaders of the band are not entirely satisfied with their first work. They find much of what got them media attention at the time too pop, too punk, too adolescent. They were compared to the first post-punk generation, when the inspiration was quite different.

American no wave here, British new wave there: clearly Placebo had absolutely nothing to do with the galloping Britpop trend, nor did they want to. But they have remained true to Depeche Mode throughout their career. In 2003, they covered the then ten-year-old song I Feel You from Depeche Mode's seminal album Songs of Faith and Devotion.

◾Unlike their Britpop contemporaries, who found their inspiration mainly in the sixties and seventies, Placebo either orientated themselves directly to the pulse of the present, or to the exciting early days of the British indie sound. So it's no surprise that the B-side of their 1997 single Nancy Boy contains a cover of indie heroes The Smiths, Bigmouth Strikes Again. Molko's nasally, decidedly androgynous voice seemed a perfect update to Morrissey's iodised vocal style.


◾Like Britpop after them, the Smiths represented a certain image of British culture with which Placebo could not and would not be associated. But in the romantic gestures of Morrissey's band and guitar genius Johnny Marr, Molko and his pals found something else: style. Few bands embodied musical and lyrical elegance as confidently as the Smiths.

◾Speaking of "Bigmouth": sometimes Molko would have preferred - like Morrissey - to keep his mouth shut. About what ? Well, about his bisexuality, which also became a declaration of war in Nancy Boy. "I've always been open about my sexuality, because I was quite a go-getter in the early days of Placebo," he admits quietly. "My coming-out felt important to take a stand. Looking back a quarter of a century, it's fair to say that Molko did exactly the right thing: Placebo started a small revolution.

◾But they were not alone. Suede established themselves in the late eighties and early nineties with a sound that is considered a precursor to the Britpop movement. But Suede also liked to flirt with the glam-rock aesthetic and play with his sexuality. "I'm a bisexual man who has never had a homosexual experience," frontman Brett Anderson once proclaimed. It is this phrase that would have inspired Nancy Boy.

◾Suede and Placebo were far from the only ones to openly embrace their fluid interpretation of male sexuality. Their master mind was David Bowie. Much has been said and written about Bowie's sexuality, not all of it positive: he is said to have had sex with minors, and there are whispers that his concessions to bisexuality were just a publicity stunt. In any case: by bringing a new image of masculinity to the stage and by transforming himself from time to time, he became a role model for entire generations.

◾In 1996, Bowie invited Placebo on a joint tour and even appeared in an alternative version of the title track from their album Without You I'm Nothing. "๐‘Š๐‘’ ๐‘œ๐‘ค๐‘’ ๐‘–๐‘ก ๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘€๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘ฆ," Molko revealed to the press. Moz played his colleague a demo of the band before Placebo was even released. He was thrilled.

◾Not surprisingly, the band, and Molko in particular, were badly shaken by Bowie's death only three years later.

The band has repeatedly shown how much Bowie influenced them. This is particularly true of their participation in the film Velvet Goldmine, loosely based on Bowie's life.

◾The band made several guest star appearances in this cult film, and can also be heard on the soundtrack. For Velvet Goldmine, they recorded a cover of T-Rex's 20th Century Boy, Marc Bolan's glam rock classic. Although the garish aesthetic of glam rock is undoubtedly one of Placebo's main influences, the band has never been content with trying to revive this short-lived genre.

◾The Black Market Music album was the first time Placebo had expressed their full potential. Although Molko is upset about the poor production sound of this groundbreaking record, he cannot deny that his band has rarely sounded more coherent. In terms of content, too, Placebo were able for the first time to realise what their mastermind had in mind, weaving dense, lyrical lyrics that had no pubescent charge.

◾In the song Slave to the Wage, for example, Molko describes, over Olsdal's feverish bass riff, the bleak daily reality of a 9 to 5. There is no doubt that as rock stars, a settled working life meant pure hell for the trio - at the time Steve Hewitt was still behind the gun range. As well as the distinctive guitar sound of Pavements Texas Never Whispers, which Placebo sampled for the track, the text also alludes to Bob Dylan's Maggie's Farm: '๐˜š๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ'๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ / ๐˜š๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ'๐˜ด ๐˜ข ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ค๐˜ฉ, ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ / ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ด, ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด, ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฃ๐˜บ๐˜ฆ'.

◾It is clear that Placebo has always represented and still represents a certain attitude to life. Outsiders on the one hand, creative and full of energy on the other. No wonder Placebo also loves PJ Harvey. When the band presented a cover of Hardly Wait - first released in 1993 on Harvey's legendary 4-track demo LP - on the B-side of their single The Never-Ending Why in 2009, it was a long-overdue tribute to the fantastic Polly Jean.

◾Molko discovered Harvey early on: when their first album Dry was released in 1992, he was immediately excited. "๐ผ๐‘ก ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘š๐‘’ ๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘ก ๐‘คโ„Ž๐‘’๐‘› ๐ผ ๐‘ค๐‘Ž๐‘  ๐‘—๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘ก ๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘ก ๐‘œ๐‘“ ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘™๐‘™๐‘’๐‘”๐‘’," he recalls in an interview with New Musical Express.

◾Well, maybe Kate Bush. The latter's hit Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) is also an integral part of the Placebo repertoire. Their cover was first released as a bonus track on the US version of the Meds album and quickly became a fan favourite. "We cover songs that we love," said Olsdal. "We do it for fun in B-side sessions. We've covered a lot of bands, especially from the eighties. Depeche Mode and even Robert Palmer. Their version of Running Up That Hill, however, was to be very special.

◾"We're huge fans of Kate Bush and when it comes to this song, we think the lyrics have real depth, which is not noticeable in the original because she sings so fast," Olsdal explained of his band's approach.

◾Placebo has always been open to its influences, has dedicated solemn covers to its heroes and heroines and has always shown them respect, even behind the scenes. The same cannot be said for the bands who, for their part, owe a lot to Placebo. "You lose hair", Blackmail singer Aydo Abay is said to have joked to Brian Molko when he met the Briton backstage at the Melt! festival one day. Is this true? We don't know.

◾But what is certain is that the Koblenz band, which debuted a year after Placebo, has always reacted with annoyance to the incessant comparisons with Placebo.

๐Ÿงฌ On the other hand, I find that the comparison with glam rock is often overemphasized despite Brian, Stefan and Steve Hewitt's constant reminders (at the time) that this musical genre was never a major influence on their music. I strongly believe that if they had never made an appearance in Velvet Goldmine, the glam image would not have stuck to Placebo so much. I may be wrong, but Placebo would never have covered 20th Cebtury Boy if not for Todd Haynes' film. Of course, David Bowie was one of the main artists to use these glam tendencies and to play them to excess, but this is not what influenced Placebo, as Brian reminded us during an interview in Paris in 1998:

This song has an interesting history.
For the first time, Stefan was not involved in its creation and it was not written for Placebo at all.

I have composed this song with two friends during my vacations in Nicaragua. It came to me because I was always asking for an ashtray (laughs). We began to sing the word in Spanish, which gave the title to the song. Initially, it was not intended for Placebo, but I was so pleased with the result that I decided to include it."

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: Yeah, it was a song by Captain Beefheart, and we’ve got our inspiration from it for two weeks, the band was called Ashtray Heart for two or three weeks and then it became Placebo after that.
But this song is .... It was never intended to be used for Placebo, I wrote it with two friends of mine, we write songs together for fun and this one ...

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: Because… because of this connection to Ashtray Heart etc., we wrote it to sell it to someone. And we wrote it in Nicaragua, so there is Spanish in it ‘Cenicero cenicero mi corazon’. I was the only smoker, and when I was on vacation in Nicaragua I was always asking in every restaurant, in every coffee for ‘cenicero, cenicero’. We had the demo for this song, we listened to it while driving across Nicaragua and that's how the song was written. And this is the first song which is on Placebo album that I didn't write with Stefan.

♦️ Chasing answers is what is most important, not the answer itself. It is what fills our life. If we dig a little deeper, we could even say that it is what allows us to know ourselves better too, even if some questions will remain forever unanswered. Brian and Stefan shared their views on the meaning of the song in several interviews.

๐Ÿ’ฌ No, not only. For example The Never Ending Why is a Brian composition for which I wrote the lyrics. But basically the music was created as before. That is, some of the songs were written separately by me and Brian, and the others were improvised together. During the Meds tour Brian and I did a lot of writing, but we didn't think of these lyrics as proposals for a new Placebo album. Because we didn't know if Placebo still had a future. About half of the album was born on the tour. About three or four songs. But the biggest songs, like Battle For The Sun or Speak in Tongues, were already born in the band with Steve Forrest.

๐Ÿ’ฌ It's a very spiritual song, It's kind of Eastern in its philososphy. It's about the questions that will never be answered. Anyone who has an interest in the meaning of life will come up against a brick wall, but you must accept the fact that there will be no answers and try and get the best out of now.
