Placebo - Burger Queen (Official Audio)

[@TheNothingEverything]

One of those rare songs that allows you to wallow in your own misery in way that feels healing and positive

[@anthonyratledge2177]

Never a more accurate description

[@alexpanas8676]

placebo - burger queen (slowed + reverb)- toooooo much better that original)

[@clairefox4640]

Very well said

[@80122]

👍

[@daniloonuk]

True, makes a distance to decay of the world we are in.

[@Elrond_Hubbard_1]

Molko is so good at writing lyrics that are poignant and beautiful, but at the same time vague. Like, you're never sure _exactly_ what he's singing about, but the vagueness works like a horoscope in that people listen and fill in their own meaning, which is why Placebo's songs are so relatable.

[@СветланаХозянин]

Omg, this is the best description

[@ЕкатеринаМакарова-т1ш]

Как хорошо сказано ❤❤❤очень точно

[@richardd9938]

True, but as someone who grew up in the area around Luxembourg and went to an international school there like he did, I know exactly what Molko is singing about here❤ #BurgerQueens👌

[@kirillbaby]

vague? this???

[@coreymerrill3257]

Yup, that's the master class of writing relatable tunes. It also has to be simple enough to let many people follow along and sing along, lightly melodic and the right notes to invoke emotional response (minor chords here) plus a sense of familiarity...this track is very reminiscent of plastic trees by Radiohead, but it's still it's own song.

[@SenArtura]

the best song of Placebo. The most underrated

[@rrrrrrr-0000]

+Prince LaCroix YES! definitely their best!

[@blueprintblue6781]

+Prince LaCroix Absolutely it is. Beautiness at its best. So moving.

[@anitaraggini7695]

[@nicpier1985]

I read this comment under every song, funny

[@psychedlicsouljam1995]

Very underrated

[@mrporkroll]

One of the most beautiful songs ever. Sad, romantic, nostalgic. Hits right in the feels everytime.

[@jamesgrant3412]

Definately

[@_hella.swaggy.god_]

The “Hey you” lines are so hypnotic and I find myself humming the tune constantly.

[@Kinnakeeter]

Whatever pain you're going through, music like this is always around to help you through it

[@The.Pickle]

Oooofff, this song, I would play this on repeat throughout the whole day at college, about 22yrs ago; this song was the only thing that helped me get through the day, the only voice I belived wouldn't hate me if said I wasn't straight. Weird, bringing back a lot of painful feelings but also like being wrapped in a warm, friendly hug. I miss those days, when discovering yourself was exciting; geez this song gets the tears falling.

[@zeynepgulsu1899]

can i ask you where are you from?

[@WoodlandAsh]

As a young gay guy from a rural British background, this type of isolation sung about was very relatable back then. And yes, for me it was also that long ago. Mad how quickly the time passes by.

[@delfeth]

This song can easy define one of the best moments of my life, with me and my loneliness.

[@dirkdiggler9256]

[@jana_the_bbgrl6586]

This song is perfection. Bloody perfection. It's sadly relaxing and some kind of magical. I love it so much.

[@jeanjeanie7214]

Not sure why, but the way Brian sings "Hey You" breaks my💔💔💔Probably because things aren't what they seem🙏

[@macbeaulieu6886]

ive always loved the vibes this band gives off. pure beauty.

[@janiquevaillot8554]

I love Brian 's voice so much ! UNIC

[@PUFFILICIOUSLilly]

I've been a Placebo fan for 13 years and they can still surprise me and make me love them even more

[@mozzyforest]

Brings tears to my eyes, I know I am not alone...

[@The.Pickle]

Yep, same.

[@forray_forever]

i grew up listening to my older sister play this song. it's like a melody for my life.

[@80122]

I also had an older sister who had 2 albums, and bang. Then I had all of them myself. All of them up to incl. Sleeping with Ghosts. All my friends borrowed them from me.

[@willlindsay2938]

i remember this from when i was living in drug dens in the middle 90s. the music was matching my surroundings and even deepened the scarlet life i was living.

[@jasonuerkvitz3756]

So painfully beautiful. Such an intricately lyricized tale of addiction, estrangement from the Feminine, and isolation from reality while contemplating beauty. I sort of hope the Burger Queen finds love. The broken need loving.

[@joelreid6114]

Placebo have many great songs, but this is still my favorite...

[@yannsolo2005]

My new song :) your opinion please, Thank you for listening and subscribe to my channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXivdJh3q8lksNk

[@leegill6204]

Just remembered this song, one of the finest songs of it's generation for me.

[@Karolcia1993]

This song gets to the channels of my heart I never knew existed. It's indescribable.

[@elpatotengu31]

One of the best song of the album. My first placebo album, totally love it.

[@SimonRobeyns]

i've been throughso much fuckign music the past couple of years bob dylan leonard cohen lou reed all that stuff, it's fucking great but then i get back to this and fuck placebo still gets me it's so fcking good in its own way, it's just undescribable

[@marcrogan127]

+Simon Robeyns Placebo always draws me back for some reason of another, they are one of the best out there and have songs for every mood i seem to be in

[@meganoob9281]

Listen man, I know its late, But problems change, and whatever they might be now - remember they are different from before and you got over them. You don't need need to do anything special. Just hold the line. I hope this reaches someone.

[@ksenau2]

I AM WITH YOU

[@gatrik1911]

then: 15 yrs old being all alone at one of these early grown up parties where every boy and girl find each other and i was just loving this song and my sadness. now: 34, having a family and everything, but sometimes really like to feel this song once again.

[@WhatwouldRoddyPiperdo]

Thanks for sharing dude I'm 38 single & alone now for life (born severely disabled and it wouldn't be fair to ask anyone to waste their life being a carer and a partner that's just selfish) This song takes me back to a relationship in my teens I never gave the nurturing it deserved

[@breechoi5489]

this is so me lol

[@richardbraithwaite7680]

I listened to this album loads in the year after my uncle died, 1998. Moved in with my aunt so we could try and deal with our grief together, which didn't work. Her CD player was on a rack behind the sofa and I sat there into the early hours and listened to this and Mezzanine by Massive Attack, both classic albums. I would chill out and drift off to this and then be awoken by Evil Dildo like a kick in the head, never forget that.

[@davidbrennan4802]

That made me laugh. Yes id drift off to this as a 15 yr old in 1998 and just like you said be hit with the hidden track

[@David-nd4to]

@@davidbrennan4802 thought i was one of the few that did that haha

[@Shinigumi]

The first time I encountered Evil Dildo was in my car during a traffic jam. My drive to and from work wasn't long enough for me to ever finish the CD, but that day.... I was considering the lyrics from Burger Queen when it finished, since it was the first time I'd properly heard it, and it didn't click that there shouldn't be silence and that the disc should have started over. Scared the absolute fuck out of me when Evil Dildo started.

[@ufos15630]

god i miss the 90's

[@paterpontikoktonos5244]

I wish i were lucky enough to live in those years:(

[@theguyinthefunnyhat]

My brother introduced me to Placebo and I ended up buying this album on vinyl just to spite him. It's honestly one of the best albums I've listened to. Fantastically paced.

[@jaykhan5072]

Incredible sequencing mate x

[@pepeluis6923]

I know most of you don´t even now what I´m talking about but this guitar playing comes from Syd Barret Astronomy domine. Feel the same when I usually listen to The Cure´s "pictures of you"

@@mozquiff1155 female.. yeah, I've had enough of talking to myself , answering myself , laughing at my jokes I tell myself .. it's been a couple of years .. I'm just different than those I've been in close contact with and my refusal to be fake nice or just fake friends just so I wouldn't seem so arrogant or weird I can't , I have my pride for one and for two I have an honesty problem so it never turns out good when others have had people they know who are empty, empty of meanings to understanding ,the one tone rainbow types right in front of me as a way of gaslighting me they've learned to not do that because well.. I will sit there and say absolutely nothing or I will say exactly to the point of what it is .. and the truth it shocks them . . And in these past couple of years I've discovered that my so called best friend( since like 1990-ish until recent-ish .. well it was a deception ai didn't keep many close to me in my circle ) while she really did like me and enjoy me she still was going to screw me over with others that we got along with her cousins and their cousins ... one of them who was a freaking nightmare that I had only met a couple of times came over to me and whispered that she was going to be me , ( horrifying I know)she was drunk/ tipsy and it unnerved me , I said nope I'm me, no one else can be me ever, you can't handle my shoes.. ( jokingly but seriously no .) she kept on to that effect .. When I was about to literally give her a taste of my shoe her cousin snatched her up and away .. her name was Jennifer .. and I listen to a Jennifer's Body , and I think of her, she is / was ( I don't know ) a horrible psycho type person I was told later .. the thing is they know more about me and what is rightfully mine that I earned , that I am of a natural type in who and what I am I never had it in me to be petty hateful or jealous .. I did/do think , and think of solution to problems on so many levels of such more important things that has allowed for their families selves comforts and safety all the while besties was info collecting my life .. no close family, a husband that has turned into the type of person I wouldn't talk to , three missing adult children ( 19-23 one is my niece but she introduced as her mom and I claimed her as a daughter ) we talked all the time and then nothing two of them it's been almost a year and half I've called and asked about them and nobody will acknowledge my questions of them one of them it's not been quiet as long and when I started asking about him ignored .. so trying to stay positive and not wish that they all the worst of the worst to suffer slowly and not die all the way quickly ... or say out loud or think it .. because I was told to not when I was very young .. so I didn't .. ( maybe once or twice .. when I was a kid ..) so.. yay me .. I'm not codependent , I'm not a push over ... I did have a point of loosing it, having just enough of all the ugly on this planet and I really really tried to just not be here anymore ... because damn for all the good I have of myself because it was what was right and just that the one time I asked for help ( not easy for me to ever do ) I was to deal and figure it out on my own.. just a totally cold metal door slammed in front of out of nowhere and my life my world was just flipped .. well I'm usually good at anything I try but I obviously failed woke up three days later in a psych ward , ... total 7 days and then the abuses started .. because of my one mental slip and my refusal to comply and conform and well it's hasn't gotten any better at all .. .. it kind of phuks with you when the ones you protected cared for did everything for never cared anything for you at all.. that's the cherry on top ..

[@moleshaman3040]

Fantastic song that pretty much describes my early life. I'm from Luxembourg and for obvious reasons this song is one of the few that mentions the country along with the The Smiths' "Ask". Nostalgic hit , I'm glad I discovered Placebo around the time "Without you I'm nothing" came out !

Grande Placebo!!!✨ ❤️

[@nicolaspierard3617]

I think in this song, Brian and Stefan tried to express the loneliness and boredom they felt while living in Luxembourg as schoolboys in the 80s. Luxembourger Queen may be referring to the unpleasant time they had there. 30 years later, Luxembourg has definitely become a much less boring place. The cover picture of the album may also be a reference to that boring part of their lives with the 2 girls (because Placebo aren't "straight") sitting face to face looking so bored.

[@hankjager2623]

Nicolas Pierard so true

[@elenakusevska6266]

I've always felt like this is somehow a song about regrets. And about a person living with the consequences of poor life choices. Maybe an existential crisis of some sort. This is a very sad song :)

[@milkcarton6654]

i think the picture represents two people who have just had an argument and don't know what to say next. Perhaps they're breaking up too.
