Placebo is like that lifelong friend that you can call up to help you feel better no matter how long it's been.

[@martinhaeusler2722]

So true

[@iloveleweb]

Specialy this one

[@msL154]

The problem with society is that we’ve allowed our emotions to be so strung out we only identify with music. Music is like drugs for some people. You aren’t supposed to listen to it all the time. You’re addicted to allowing yourself to identify with a song that wasn’t made for you. It’s a generalization of a subgroup. You are an individual. Remember you aren’t a program.

[@DaisyPorisini]

Placebo confirm that good music is still alive

[@ScarTrakk]

So true!!!

[@eugenea9988]

and still it is

[@TheArchive91]

Daisy Porisini well, the lyrics are really good but the music itself? not for me..

Maybe its an placebo effect, hehe

I had a brain bleeding in march 2015. It's hard to learn all those things again that I was pretty good in. And your music helps me believe in myself. Thanks for the great tune!!!

[@annam.3193]

Thank you Brian. So actual. Why I always need to hear your voice? You are a kind of drug for my ears. Don't stop please🙏

[@OlaGamerGirl]

Placebo..You're truly amazing!

[@heathermorris5129]

My phone thinks I'm a man lol

[@aquaseafoamshame1432]

Well.. i believe this song is about when you can see people like you, you can easily know that they're like you, maybe struggling or just have similar personality and same perspective on life.. you see strangers on the road or classmates or walkers by and you can easily know they're just like you. those united blue wires can be a signal.. you can see each other but never dare to speak or be with or there for each other and you feel very frustrated so you all get together united because of your souls and likes and dislikes and thoughts but could never be really connected. this is exactly how i feel and i experience this like everywhere i go

[@MrRyanwojcik]

This song is so true for thousands of people including myself, such a true and amazing song, loved seeing it performed live at Soundwave :')

[@misseskingsten1235]

[@Boltenstein1]

At a time in my life where it feels as if everything is going too fast, things coming to an end, and I sometimes feel completely empty and alone, this keeps me going.

[@iyimsermuhabir]

What makes almost every placebo songs beautiful is the voice of the vocal

[@margaretbloom7068]

I love placebo's music. I just started listening recently.

[@Anonymous-Joker74]

Check out Passive Aggressive & Prodigal Son ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@azulabsinth2028]

When I heard this song for first time, I thought it was a joke. Now I can realize it has some of he deepest lyrics talking about todays life way. Where the innovation in social culture has ended in the innovation of loneliness. And does loneliness has become the most commun element of the modern world.

[@user-lq7dl1ni8v]

This song is 8 years old how is it even more relevant now.

[@anaisanaiss1772]

To my mind this song is about social networks , about people who have 5000 friends on Facebook , 6000 followers on Instagram ,but in fact we are alone..we'll never meet these virtual friends..I don't know if I'm right...

[@all3gra]

MisterProdigy89 Or first life... Depressing. I agree with you.

[@thosegreengentlemen]

+Anais Anaiss if you have the wisdom to see, hope youre not a facebook user yourself then

[@msmolko5973]

I agree that the human connection is often lost. You see so many people out and about too busy putting their lives on instagram tl actually be in the moment and live it. In Facebook's defence, I have met (yes, in real life) many wonderful people I would never have met otherwise. I'm not sure if its an age thing (I'm 49) that made us all want to meet up in the real world. Could have been a disaster but it was like meeting up with our best friends. That was 5 years ago, we still meet regularly in Birmingham and have the best, real life, time. None of that would have happened without Facebook so I owe a big thank you to Mark Zuckerberg. I also met up with some great people via a Placebo fan site to go see the band in Edinburgh in February. I would have gone alone but it was so much better to do it in the company of like minded faithful

[@bobolegrand257]

+thosegreengentlemen It's okay to use facebook but don't live on it

[@losretardos6700]

Anais Anaiss i agree

[@scjoslin99]

This song sums up most people's lives, living in a Facebook world and don't know at least half of their "friends", this massively applies to me. Quality track by a fantastic band

[@gwenniegrant5287]

Every one has zonked out and stopped communicating. Technological overload. A fabulous song! 💕

[@francesco7489]

I’m in fact enjoying this song while staring into a phone; it really depends on how you use tech to connect rather than being isolated

[@matteofalvo2490]

Yes ok, I saw many comments of the meaning of this song about social media and actual situation of “devices” but I love the sense of freedom of listening music like in the end of the video 🙂 Sorry for my english, I’m italian 🙂

[@natalieastravars7313]

Absolutely lovely. Colors, song, people.

[@MondoRockGP]

A beautiful song must absolutely be a mix of music and lyrics that speak of everyone's life, which is not only love but also the pain and hardness of life itself. This helps to live it intensely and Placebo is this.

[@ksematie]

How many people are listening this great song in 2022? 🙋‍♀️

[@tomacristian]

The message is pretty strong in this. Bottom line, we've kinda lost the human connection. We're all connected through wires now.

lost the human connection? nope.. actually, it was like this from day 1.. wires just made you see it..
