- LYRICS -
Bring me back to life
Never let me go
Your troubles and your strife
I saw them
Take me by the hand
As we cross through battlefields
Nobody understands
‘Cause there's nobody at the wheel
Beautiful James
I don’t want to wake you
Beautiful James
I don’t want to wake you
Everybody lies
One hundred times a day
The silence in your eyes
Is far too rare to give away
And it's exactly why I stay
Beautiful James
I don’t want to wake you
Beautiful James
I don’t want to wake you
I don’t want to wake you
Beautiful James
Don’t want to wake you
I don't want to wake you
Don’t want to wake you
Beautiful James
Don’t want to wake you
I don’t want to wake you
Though I may have to
I may have to
I may have to
Beautiful James
I don’t wanna wake you
Don’t wanna wake you
Beautiful James
Don’t wanna wake you
I don’t wanna wake you
Don’t wanna wake you
Beautiful James
Don’t wanna wake you
I don’t wanna wake you

I can't stop listening to this song. Hearing a song like this feels like revisiting an old friend of mine, as Placebo's music has been in my life since I was 12 year old boy, back in 2006. Their music has been both in the darkest and highest points of my life, and this song brings me an unexplainable joy, but it also brings me back to those naive times of me taking the bus to high school in those cold mornings without wanting to go there, having uncertainty and feeling like I was never going to escape the hole that high school was for me. It feels great to hear this song as an adult now, with a lump in my throat, being in a much better place than I was at that time. I just want to thank Placebo for being such an inspiration in my life.

[@tatevmkhitarova5795]

This made me cry because it was exactly what I was going through and it is wxactly what I feel now. Thank you.

I believe this is why placebo are so successful. Their music speaks to so many people for so many different reasons. They’re not just songs to a true placebo fan. They help us through the ups and downs in life. Music for outsiders, by outsiders ❤️

There is a special place for Placebo. I am a nurse and I think their music is as powerful and therapeutic as any counselling session or medication for many people. That is some achievement! People praise me for 30+ years of practice, but I absolutely value musicians for their ability to lift mood, motivate, relieve, reassure, encourage, normalise, and just help people. I salute you Placebo!

[@julianaferrone8734]

Wow beautiful thoughts.

[@LaraLinx]

Music is medicine, it's so true! Thank you for taking care of other humans. We can be annoying sometimes. Nurses are far too often undervalued.

Haha it had the opposite, but just as positive effect on me. Take care and thanks for saving lives!

[@christinamasou9964]

True it's happening to me now❤

[@gabrieluriel111]

James can be a lover, a struggling friend, your son, or even yourself. The most beautiful thing about this song is that I don't care who James is. I care about the love shown towards him. "I don't want to wake you. Though I might have to..." It feels like looking at your son, or yourself when you were young... James is a gorgeous little soul who deserves rest from this crazy world, but sometimes we have to wake up and face reality to move on. To keep growing... Thank you Placebo. Like many in here, you have been around my life since I was a teenager and I cannot thank you enough for how much your music has helped me. For how much has helped us!

[@JohnAnderson-kt3bj]

We all need a beautiful James in our lives to remind us how to feel and not grow cold and unfeeling

That's so true, j'adore ce vers, one of their most powerful and poetic verse...this pain, suffering, anger, rage in your eyes look, "and it's exactly why I stay". WHAT AN AMONT OF LOVE is crossing through this verse. No matter if James is a man.....once again, a woman could be James, because this love as it is sung by Placebo is universal: Beautiful Jane... and the love is still as hard, as soft, as soothing. Merci pour ton commentaire.

There’s definitely something addictive about this song. Not sure if it’s the melancholy of the lyrics or his voice but I can’t stop listening to it.

The love of my life and I shared a love for Placebos music. We had many years of very good memories and were able to see them live together in MN, USA on Oct 14th, 2014. Unfortunately, I was not the love of her life and we broke up 6 years ago. I still love her, but she will not talk to me. As wonderful as this song is, hearing it breaks my heart all over again. :(

I've never written a comment before, but here I can't keep quiet. I want to say thank you to the band Placebo for this beautiful composition that greeted my return from the other side of the world. It was in the fall of 2021 that I survived a major surgery and barely made it out of intensive care... This song reminds me of the past me, lying in a gray hospital room, still hoping for the best. It won't be like before, James... But still life can get better.

My eng not so good... my uncle introduced me to placebo music. I was about 12 years old, for me, it was something new, enticing, like a breath of fresh air. Brian's vocals remain the most melodic for me, the songs of this band after years cause me the same emotions as before, again and again. I'm 21, my uncle recently left this world, I listen to this song and tears come to my eyes. he loved this band so much and will never hear their new songs. thank you placebo for being there.

And there is nothing placebo in your lyrics and music. I don't hear lies, and I am told I am a living 'lie detector'. Good for you, even better for those in need...

[@milanblar]

they were a company during the most tragic and sad years of my life, i was always certain that it was a light at the end of the tunnel with their songs. now that i've healed all the wounds and grown up, hearing their new music is like a self-reminder that i've was strong enough to stay alive, thank you guys, for being such an inner force that i didn't know i needed.

[@LaDyFlabiA]

The magnificent music on this song talks to me about distant long summer days in the arms of my young girlfriend, when I used to be innocent and the sun felt different...Back when I could drive to the park and I would find my friends playing soccer under the same sun...Back when my father called me to dinner...Back when highschool was my biggest problem.

Rare are so wide minds and beautiful spirits. So warm hearts & infinite souls. This song is just one more proof of it, I’ve been looking forward for so long 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Estoy llorando... Volví al 2004, cuando no dejaba de escucharlos. Los amo, a través de los años, son un amor inolvidable que todavía reside en un lugar en mi memoria.

yo nací en 2004, mi hermano los conoció por ese tiempo igual, por él yo conozco música tan hermosa como la de placebo desde que prácticamente nací. Siento la necesidad de mencionarlo donde pueda, porque él falleció hace dos semanas, y no puedo asimilarlo aún, solo siento tanto vacío y una tristeza inmensa al escuchar a placebo, al hacer lo que sea.

Hello 90s my old friends

[@joinmeindeppth]

Today I've understood: the connection between voice and lines of melodies in Placebo music expresses that feeling which is very valuable for me. When I'm open to my emotions, it is always such a pleasure, even if they are hard, complicated and uncomfortable.

[@kornelia7606]

I learned about Placebo back in 2011, when I was 12. I grew up with this band and I am so thankful that I lived to see another piece by them after their last album 8 years ago. This is the only band I always come back to and have such fond memories of because their music had truly been with me through the worst and best times in my life. I hope I get to see them perform this live one day.

[@kowloonbroadcast]

agree with each and every word here. I like to use the following phrase speaking about their long term accompaniment in my case: “Placebo’s music was the most common soundtrack of my life”✌🏽

[@kornelia7606]

@@kowloonbroadcast I agree 100%! Their music is so well thought out that anyone can relate to it at any point in their life aswell as get lost in their thoughts because of it. I admire that their sound didn’t change too much over the years and they’re still as relatable and thought provoking as ever

Не могу перестать слушать этот трек. Слишком много чувств меня переполняет, я захлёбываюсь слезами, как слышу “Bring me back to life”, Это те слова, которых так не хватало, голос Брайна… он такой же как в 2006. Звонкий, чистый, бьющий в самое сердце и разрывающий душу на тысячи мелких кусочков, и тут же собирающий ее воедино. Я снова чувствую себя живой, спасибо.

[@user-ut4vl8bw2k]

Привет. Хорошо сказанно. Послушай песни исполнителей Шарлот и Aurora. Смотря на современных подростков и то, что они слушают, я считал что умение создавать прекрасную музыку с глубоким смыслом утерянно. Пока не увидел что среди бисера музыкантов молодого поколения идущего по пути упрощения музыки и смыслов растут настоящие жемчужины, пытающиеся понять мир и вкладывающие самих себя в свои песни. Тогда я понял что не все потерянно, и вопреки всему молодое поколение, как это и должно быть, будет лучше нас. п.с. для контекста - мне 32.

[@Burlesque_Aeon]

Прекрасная композиция, которую ожидали 8 лет. И ждали не зря. Она возвращает во времена юности, когда Placebo приезжали с туром по России. Она возвращает во времена детства, когда клипы Placebo крутили на MTv. Словно встреча со старыми друзьями спустя многие годы. Спасибо за Ваше творчество!

Wow i can cry right now just because I love this band so much. Its so amazing. Soulmates never die❤️

[@luminasjamming]

To be honest, I suddenly started to cry with no reasons while I was listening to this song for the first time. It is important to say that, this song reminds me that I still have a hearth, as I haven't cried for 4 or 5 years. It is a kind of dramatic comment, but still thanks to placebo, thanks to those who listen and share same feelings with me, especially thanks to the Beautiful James.

[@mrowchan2369]

I started to cry too... because this song caused that I started to rememeber a person that I really loved and still love... But I couldn't never be this strong enough to tell him my true feelings. So stoped to talk, write with him... because I did not want my heart to keep remembering him. I did not know or he'd feel to me the same thing or after this even still like me as a friend... after I'd open my feelings to him. So to avoid these two possible situations I just "closed the doors". Now I am crying to these closed doors. He's in my head, heart... we're miles away. He's from Poland and I am from Japan... I think I'll write him now. No matter what will be his answer. I want be better sure than being sad that I never did it.
