being addicted to heroin is so much like being in a toxic relationship. something you love so much but know you shouldn't be with. This is the best depiction of what it's like that I've heard in the form of song. Edit: I've been clean for a year now and 100% sure I was high when I posted this comment
Can't stand the "miserable sad user" story anymore!!! I'm a user myself and you know what? I'm a VERY happy man, my life is fantastic and, even though i know that things could be different... i've given hours of thought to the subject and just can't find the substance guilty i any way. Society will lay the "self fulfilling profecy" on you but saying *"if you're gonna use you'll get lots of problems in return"* ... and then fucking WORK to enforce those very problems upon you!! It would be fair if after saying that, society took a step back and gave you complete room (no tabus and prejudice, no stupid laws, nothing) to actually see about those problems... Cause they could be surprised.
it's neither about society nor about anything else. The process of using is incomplete without the process of stopping. This is about you just like it was all about me at the time, I felt and saw things exactly like how you're describing them, I was a happy user until I realized that whatever happiness H gave me there was still something missing, turns out what was missing was control, the ability to be in the driving seat of every aspect of my life. This may sound absurd to you at the moment but when you complete the entire cycle you'll appreciate the fact that you were a user more than you can imagine and you'll realize that it has always been about you and no one else.
This is one of the most intense songs ever, what the lyrics describe and the way brian sings it is sang, it is sad, it is depressing, it is sexy, it´s one of those that you listen and just makes you feel something
If heroin had a sound, this would be it. Its not just the lyrics, its the actual song as whole. Slow, warm and dreamy, romantic all while still maintaining the melancholy of his voice and the feeling that it's all just synthetic. Its beautiful and its destructive, just like how I believe heroin feels. Can only speak for myself but if you haven't tried it, please dont and just listen to this song. This is closest you can get without ruining your life, I promise.
Wow... cool comment... i never tried... I'm attracted to almost every "pharmaceutical"... but my basic is luckily "just" weed... I'm absolutely addicted that's no question... But: i pay my rent, i do my work (very well btw) and I always have enough staff (and can pay it). It took me several years to handle this. I started Ganja smoking with 18, now I'm 38... I lost my driving license for weed.. and actual i see to many friends falling down on Tina (Methamphetamin)... but i still can't imagine how worst Heroin must be... and i don't want to know...
Wow. That's exactly how I feel when I hear this . The way he sings about the dragon sends chills down my spine . Heroin is the ultimate ride . I tried opium through a pipe but never took heroin intravenously. Never will.
I know a lot of people who identify with these songs have a history of drug abuse but these songs speak to a different demon inside me. My addiction that ruined my life, that I struggled for years to overcome, was being in love with someone addicted to drugs. He actually introduced this band to me, only he thought it was cool junkie music but to me the music spoke to the sad hole in my heart that was him. That soul sucking black hole that leaves you feeling completely numb and cold. This music helped me recognize the pain I felt and gave it a name. I still listen to these songs every once in a while because I can still remember, I can still feel what I felt then but instead of hating it, I accept it. It is a part of me. But Love is and will always be my drug of choice, next to food 😉
@@PontificusPinion I’m good. Married a great guy, moved off, went back to school, just started a new job and we are thinking about kids. It’s been a long time since I listened to this song. I still wonder where that guy is every so often - I wonder if he ever got clean, got a job, had kids. Hope he did.
Never thought you'd make me perspire. Never thought I'd do you the same. Never thought I'd fill with desire. Never thought I'd feel so ashamed. Me and the dragon can chase all the pain away. So before I end my day, remember.. My sweet prince, you are the one My sweet prince you are the one Never thought I'd have to retire Never thought I'd have to abstain Never thought all this could back fire Close up the hole in my vain Me and my valuable friend can fix all the pain away So before I end my day remember My sweet prince you are the one My sweet prince you are the one you are the one Never thought I'd get any higher Never thought you'd fuck with my brain Never thought all this could expire Never thought you'd go break the chain Me and you baby, still flush all the pain away So before I end my day remember My sweet prince you are the one My sweet prince you are the one you are the one you are the one My sweet prince My sweet prince
Brian is so intense, his voice is disturbing so beautiful. The musicians of the band can, really extraordinary way to harmonize the melody with lyrics and voice. God, I can't stop listening to it. I die happy if I died listening this. I'm addicted.
Placebo, early Muse, and some of sad Radiohead, that what I used to listen when I was like 15-22.. Now Im 28 and it brought me in those days. True love
Same here! Altough I'm a bit older (32), those were the bands I listened to when I was a teen. Now my taste shifted more towards the dreamy side of music (shoegaze, dreampop, ...) and post rock. But sometimes I just want to get nostalgic ... :)
I'm 24 and I grew up listening to placebo and loved it through my teen years but now even more so in my twenties. I'm also a recovering heroin addict and this music got me through a lot and made me not feel so alone. Been clean for a year!
I like how meaningfull everything is in this song, there are the lyrics of course, but also the pace that sounds like a heartbeat, the echo like he is at the bottom of a hole, the calmness and the pain in the voice, the repetitiveness of the structure like a loop you cant escape.

possibly one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Makes me feel encredibley nostalgic as I susally do for a time so far and not so far gone, and it will always hold a special place in my heart
My brother and I used to listen to this song 8 years ago, and although I always used to fight with him, I always loved him. And today he's leaving for ununiversity. And here I am listening to this song for the first time in 8 years. It brings me back memories.
This song was on my 'forbidden songs' list from my teemage years. Guaranteed to make me cry. I've not been able to cry for a few weeks now, so decided to play it. I feel better after my little moment, so that's good!
To me, heroin is a woman scorned. You love her, she doesn't love you back, and when you need out, she makes sure it's literal hell. This song was on repeat for me when I was "kicking". It's torture, painful, the lyrics capture every single emotion flawlessly, and it inspired me to write my own story, which -- much like heroin -- I could never share with people. Some just don't understand the appeal, they think we're scum. But studies have shown that most users are in the upper IQs, we aren't scum, we are empathetic to a fault, and this world is merciless, so we attempt to "flush all the pain away"....
This comment is scary and very VERY jaw dropping. I would read your story. I would want to, i am intrigued by you and the way you illustrated it. ... Kudos stranger...
Oh my god.... Their old stuff is sooooo dark. Sadly i cant listen to it anymore because it makes me suicidal. But love to see that brian got himslef together. He seemed so lost and now he is sparkling. ❤
I almost ended my life to this song 4 years ago, but now i feel like im slowly beating my depression and get hit with a strange undescribable nostalgia every time i hear this
No more pain needs fixing. Dealing it like a "normal human" and it's crazy.... Anxiety up the ass. But I did it! This song gives me chills cause it's the only thing I listened to in rehab when I was 23 and of course Tool.... Flush all the pain awayyyyy
A hauntingly beautiful and genuine ode to "my valuable friend" - and immediately recognizable to anyone with an intimate knowledge of heroin. (Let's not forget what this song is really about.)
Next to Lana Del Rey, Brian Molko is probably the most criminally underrated singer ever. His songs speak, where others just go endlessly on and on about worthless stuff. In my opinion, to write songs like these, you must have had to live through everything you write, otherwise it wouldnt be so deep and meaningful, so true, and that it what makes it so beautiful to me
Youth spent on Kurt. Middle age will be spent on Placebo. Just discovered Placebo and so many of their songs bring back the comfort in being sad. The first three I’m hooked onto are all from this album - My Sweet Prince, Every You and Every Me, The Crawl.
I was a teenager when I heard this song for the first time. I literally got scared and avoid listening to it until 2020 when I'm 31. Now it hits different, it's perfect, unique and just beautiful. 🖤
aki , this is for you my sweet boy , you couldnt let your angel go away alone , even tho you broke everybodies heart we uderstand you ... i hopr you are together now and taking care of us... hope to see you again someday my friend , you where the kindest boy i ever met , im sad i wont be able to see that kindness anymore ... goodbye angel ...
Incredible work of art perfectly performed by the Placebo one of the greatest bands ever made creating always good music and definitely great songs....!!!!! This song has very deep meanings if you understand it....!!!!!!!
Yesterday I saw my ex boyfriend when I was driving. It was so fucking amazing and at the same time terrible feeling. Approaching him would be odd, but leaving him without using that opportunity to talk to him was more heartbreaking. Later on, sounds of this song came to my mind. Now it’s 1am and I am listening to this masterpiece, crying and wondering if we ever get back together, My Sweet Price, you are the one. :,(
I can't help but to explain how much this band means to me. I mean they have helped me reshape my relationship with God himself. Seeing God as a dragon, and understanding what the Light is. I respect this band for who they are especially Brain Molko who's lyricsm is absolutely brilliant.
Never thought you'd make me perspire Never thought I'd do you the same Never thought I'd fill with desire Never thought I'd feel so ashamed Me and the dragon can chase all the pain away So before I end my day remember My sweet prince you are the one My sweet prince You are the one Never thought I'd have to retire Never thought I'd have to abstain Never thought all this could back fire Close up the hole in my vain Me and my valuable friend Can fix all the pain away So before I end my day, remember My sweet prince You are the one Never thought I'd get any higher Never thought you'd fuck with my brain*** Never thought all this could expire Never thought you'd go break the chain Me and you baby Still flush all the pain away So before I end my day, remember My sweet prince You are the one
I am 44 and I follow the Placebo as I followed the unhappy parable of the Nirvana, but in the wise hands of Dave, I heard that sound in the melodies of the Q.O.T.S.A.
Местами, необычное описание зависимости: заставило вникнуть. Музыка и исполнение вызывают настроение противоположное ко смыслу песни: прослушивается на одном дыхании
Brutal-ass song. Today, I showed my friends "Something Rotten". They didn't think Placebo sounded like that. I was blown away by the reaction. I wanted to play this song, which is gloomy and pretty dark. But It wasn't the mood for the night.
Each time time i listen to this song it gets deep into my soul....Damn it touches the inner soul and play melodies to my heart.....Trip out of the universe....Extraordinary...Unique.
I bought this album around 1998 and remember listening to this while reading Stephen Kings IT for the first time. For some reason the two went quite nicely together. 🎸📚🖤
I listen this song at 16..i was in a very special company that they knew me placebo...my father get sick after few months..he died on 12 august this year and this song reminds me many things but mostly my father and his wonderful life before i born and after..i have a difficult time in this period because i have my exams for university and my head is in darkness and kind of depression.. Still hearing placebo and makes me feel alive,than you
Достаточно не знать английского и быть в соответствующем расположении духа. Мне эта песня тем и нравится что она, с одной стороны, умиротворяет, а с другой сыпет соль на рану, но скорее в "хорошем" смысле.
This song is devastating. I remember when this CD came out in 97 or 98. The first year together with my girlfriend who's now my wife. Watching her die every day of huntington's disease and this song just makes me pull her closer.
I can feel it already I'm slowly starting to drink more and more. I know I'm young, heck I'm barely 18 but it just makes all the pain go away. I feel safe when I feel the numbness of the alcohol consuming me, it's like a void where I can't see or hear anything. It's perfect.

Congratulations for staying clean. You're strong. Wish you the best.

Some just don't understand the appeal, they think we're scum. But studies have shown that most users are in the upper IQs, we aren't scum, we are empathetic to a fault, and this world is merciless, so we attempt to "flush all the pain away"....
This comment is scary and very VERY jaw dropping. I would read your story. I would want to, i am intrigued by you and the way you illustrated it.
... Kudos stranger...
Oh my god....
Their old stuff is sooooo dark. Sadly i cant listen to it anymore because it makes me suicidal.
But love to see that brian got himslef together. He seemed so lost and now he is sparkling. ❤
Stay strong! It is dark and haunting but I feel has a certain wistful hope as well. Good luck!
🖤❤️
I almost ended my life to this song 4 years ago, but now i feel like im slowly beating my depression and get hit with a strange undescribable nostalgia every time i hear this
Make's a grown man shed a tear this song.
No more pain needs fixing. Dealing it like a "normal human" and it's crazy.... Anxiety up the ass. But I did it! This song gives me chills cause it's the only thing I listened to in rehab when I was 23 and of course Tool.... Flush all the pain awayyyyy
I'm glad it helped you
A hauntingly beautiful and genuine ode to "my valuable friend" - and immediately recognizable to anyone with an intimate knowledge of heroin. (Let's not forget what this song is really about.)
+BadlyDrawnGirl1664 ,yes chasing the dragon is a dead giveaway!
I know.... been there... actually I am
You either "get" the enticing oblivion of opiates, or you don't. It's hard to explain...
@@bad-girlbex3791till death do us part.thats heroin to me. I understand...av done everything for it..decade after decade
Essa música toca profundamente minha alma 😢 odeio drogas, nunca nem vi.🙏
Listened to these guys all through high school and 17 years later i still am......brings back so many emotions and memories.
It does 😍
Oh this is very dark. And very honest. It's sad, beautiful, it's the heart on the tongue coming out in words...
This takes me back, not to a brilliant place but still a place that is part of who I am today
Same x
Next to Lana Del Rey, Brian Molko is probably the most criminally underrated singer ever. His songs speak, where others just go endlessly on and on about worthless stuff. In my opinion, to write songs like these, you must have had to live through everything you write, otherwise it wouldnt be so deep and meaningful, so true, and that it what makes it so beautiful to me
xxEmilyx x you are so god damn right!
I ❤ Lana
xxEmilyx x I like Lana but I don t think she is underrated anymore, I mean she really get a lot of recognition
lana sucks
she was underrated, merely on her first debut years
Wow, it's awesome to see that this song helped people get sober! Congrats to all of you who are clean and sober!
Youth spent on Kurt. Middle age will be spent on Placebo. Just discovered Placebo and so many of their songs bring back the comfort in being sad. The first three I’m hooked onto are all from this album - My Sweet Prince, Every You and Every Me, The Crawl.
Yes. Yes. Yes!!!!!! So f..cking well said !
A truly haunting and beautiful tune , gives me goosebumps every time I hear it 🖤🖤🖤
I was a teenager when I heard this song for the first time. I literally got scared and avoid listening to it until 2020 when I'm 31. Now it hits different, it's perfect, unique and just beautiful. 🖤
"You are the one."
So beautiful .
This was Placebo in their peak. I love this band so much
holy hell... this song got me through hell.. goodbye hell... goodbye devil... 3 years... 4 years on new years eve
+Stephanie James Keenan Same hell here...same story and its 10 months clean for me.
Congrats!! Stay strong. You will soon dispise drugs and be like wtf was I thinking!?!?! Shit changes you...
+Stephanie James Keenan Good job, keep your chin up and keep kicking ass!
***** heheheh... we can share! lol! Merry Toolmas and a happy new year to you too!
James Keenan? Any relation to Maynard?

Impossible to listen only once. The depth of this song and how it touches me is inexplicable. Perfect! XO from Brazil.
Totally agree!
Incredible work of art perfectly performed by the Placebo one of the greatest bands ever made creating always good music and definitely great songs....!!!!! This song has very deep meanings if you understand it....!!!!!!!
You don't know how much I miss you, since you left everything has been sadness and pain.
This song is absolutely magnificent. Brian Molko certainly shows here his personality in the most obvious way .
Omg I've all ways cried listening to this it's beautiful.. Brians voice.. You can literally feel it X
this song is a masterpiece
fernanda reyna es muy triste pero muy linda
can't stop crying when I listen this song...
This song means so much to me. It's pure poetry. Love. Sadness. Life.
Again i came here to listen to this and cry by myself
After listening to this song for more than 20 years, it still breaks my heart
yes
So this song was in an mcr edit, i fell in love immediately with the mysterious sound. This song is haunting, sexy, and beautiful.
hauntingly beautiful...every single one of their songs brings up so many memories
Yesterday I saw my ex boyfriend when I was driving. It was so fucking amazing and at the same time terrible feeling. Approaching him would be odd, but leaving him without using that opportunity to talk to him was more heartbreaking. Later on, sounds of this song came to my mind. Now it’s 1am and I am listening to this masterpiece, crying and wondering if we ever get back together, My Sweet Price, you are the one. :,(
Wait a second
We don’t care about your past addictions , it’s a fucking top tune and that’s it.
This will always be my fav song and album by them. The song is just so perfectly done, both lyrically and musically
💕 my sweet prince
you are the one ! ! ! ! ! !
this song makes me to think about everything, that I've done or said in life! :X this is just perfection!
A friend of mine sang this to his wedding to her spouse. It was magical 💙
Wow. That must have been a special wedding...
@@HaleG9 it was 😍
Une chanson qui fait vibrer. Le texte et la mélodie de ce morceau sont sublimes !
Laetitia Trecoff c'est une chanson magnifique
I grew up fantasizing about being a junkie poet the way that other kids wanted to be doctors lawyers Bukowski it was a tough thing to shake
murdoch Donovan i like it.
Lmao
Me too... rock music made me try heroin.
murdoch Donovan Same
might have saved some
Still return to this ... to ask myself for forgiveness... Who thought love could fuck you up like this
I can't listen this song and not cry ! REALLY AMAZING!! Beautiful! :')
Jamie Walton Always some asshole insulting strangers for no reason.
Drew Fox Like you just did? paradox much?
Yup. No paradox, if anything I'm reinforcing my statement. :P
+Molkogirl Galicia i feel the same...
I can't help but to explain how much this band means to me. I mean they have helped me reshape my relationship with God himself. Seeing God as a dragon, and understanding what the Light is. I respect this band for who they are especially Brain Molko who's lyricsm is absolutely brilliant.
Desolating and haunting.
this song reminds me of a very special person
Never thought you'd make me perspire
Never thought I'd do you the same
Never thought I'd fill with desire
Never thought I'd feel so ashamed
Me and the dragon can chase all the pain away
So before I end my day remember
My sweet prince you are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one
Never thought I'd have to retire
Never thought I'd have to abstain
Never thought all this could back fire
Close up the hole in my vain
Me and my valuable friend
Can fix all the pain away
So before I end my day, remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
Never thought I'd get any higher
Never thought you'd fuck with my brain***
Never thought all this could expire
Never thought you'd go break the chain
Me and you baby
Still flush all the pain away
So before I end my day, remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
Beautiful tribute to the Prince of Wales
how can i put this, after 11 years of listening to this song, "Its beautiful and its destructive" and it is my safest placebo indeed
pure perfection
I am 44 and I follow the Placebo as I followed the unhappy parable of the Nirvana, but in the wise hands of Dave, I heard that sound in the melodies of the Q.O.T.S.A.
placebo forever
To my sweet prince, for ever and ever... won't forget U, even if it's hurts
I feel this... take care
Спасибо Маримо, что познакомила меня с такими прекрасными группами когда я была подростком.
Сейчас мне 23 и я время от времени прихожу послушать
almost cried but can't
Местами, необычное описание зависимости: заставило вникнуть. Музыка и исполнение вызывают настроение противоположное ко смыслу песни: прослушивается на одном дыхании
Brutal-ass song. Today, I showed my friends "Something Rotten". They didn't think Placebo sounded like that. I was blown away by the reaction.
I wanted to play this song, which is gloomy and pretty dark. But It wasn't the mood for the night.
Amazing, beautiful, perfect lyrics and melody...love it...♡♡♡
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL .
amazing song, it has magic, when I am sad, I will listen to it, sometimes makes me relieved ,while sometimes make me breakdown, so special
Heroin addict here, this song is my support and will forever be
Haven't listened to this in over a decade. I'm crying
Each time time i listen to this song it gets deep into my soul....Damn it touches the inner soul and play melodies to my heart.....Trip out of the universe....Extraordinary...Unique.
I bought this album around 1998 and remember listening to this while reading Stephen Kings IT for the first time. For some reason the two went quite nicely together. 🎸📚🖤
I listen this song at 16..i was in a very special company that they knew me placebo...my father get sick after few months..he died on 12 august this year and this song reminds me many things but mostly my father and his wonderful life before i born and after..i have a difficult time in this period because i have my exams for university and my head is in darkness and kind of depression..
Still hearing placebo and makes me feel alive,than you
god this album brings back my teen years love it (:
it reminds me when i was Young and pure
You still are.
Не понимаю, как кому-то это может казаться расслабляющей и спокойной песней. У меня сердце разрывается
Достаточно не знать английского и быть в соответствующем расположении духа. Мне эта песня тем и нравится что она, с одной стороны, умиротворяет, а с другой сыпет соль на рану, но скорее в "хорошем" смысле.
И у меня разрывается...
This song is.. SAD, SEXY... AND WONDERFUL... 3:37.... THIS PART BREAK MY HEARTH!
I listening in my bad days 7 years back. And now i happy. Thx for this song
Still listening in 2023. 🖤
una de las mejores canciones de placebo los amo !!
This song is devastating. I remember when this CD came out in 97 or 98. The first year together with my girlfriend who's now my wife. Watching her die every day of huntington's disease and this song just makes me pull her closer.
I can feel it already I'm slowly starting to drink more and more. I know I'm young, heck I'm barely 18 but it just makes all the pain go away. I feel safe when I feel the numbness of the alcohol consuming me, it's like a void where I can't see or hear anything. It's perfect.
