when I hear Brian singing "since I was born I started to decay, now nothing ever goes my way..." I see him like he really does believe in that...it's so emotional, so beautiful...
AndrewMacedonia we keep aging aint that the pity! I don't relive my past in my thoughts, but I miss the visceral & probably nihilistic feelings I had before!
I don‘t think I‘ll ever stop coming back to this performance. I might actually have to screen record it in case anything happens to youtube in the future
Oh my Godness ..when I listen to this it's like all my life and my feelings..my all and everything I want are with me..are in this song..Placebo is perfection !
I was sixteen, listening to a live radio program....these guys did this song, the slow piano version....was lucky to have been taping the radio show....this was gonna make it to my mix tapes, but was lost or tapes over... That was around '98....now in '17 everything is at your fingertips in your pocket for instant access....Love it, as I have been able to rediscover this amazing tune...
To me this version of the song is a tribute to my first teenage depression. I was 13, my parents broke up, my dad left (my mum sad that is happened because of me being "capricious" as a child), I couldn't deal with it and my world was tearing apart, I was bullied at by my school teacher (she was young and sarcastic, everybody loved her), I knew her subject perfectly and she knew that too (I was the best in my class, the one who had the best grade (10/10)) and she cannot do anything except underestimated my grades to 6. Oh, and yeah, I loved her too, so it was even harder. I was devastated and couldn't tell about it anyone including my mum cause I was a big girl, I had to be strong (and I've always been). I was scared she wouldn't believe me or - which is the worst - she would blame me (it happened years after) and wouldn't do anything. So, going back to Placebo :))))))), I was laying on my bed for three days, watching the sun goes down on the yellow wall behind me, crying and listening to Pla on repeat. I was completely alone, it was nobody there for me, nobody helped. Sweet memories :))))) So now it's ten years after, and my story has no happy ending: I'm in an abusive relationship with my mum and there's no escape (god knows I've tried SO HARD), my mum ruined all my relationships with my relatives (although I've talked to them like 2 times in 10 year), I have nobody left, I have nowhere to go and ask for help. So today I'm listening to this song again, remembering my teenage years as it was yesterday (the only difference is that now I have a Bluetooth speaker haha) and want it all to end:))))) "Since I was born I started to decay Now nothing ever ever goes my way"
Sorry I know I'm a mess and there are tons of grammar mistakes and everything but I'm so fucking (haha autocorrect doesn't want me to swear) exhausted that just :)))))
Oh honey, I have been in your shoes, exactly. I genuinely hope it gets better for you, I'm definitely no optimist, but I feel your pain & I know the world is cold, but don't give up. There's a warm safe place waiting for you someday. It can't rain all the time, you know?
have u hear about alquran? have u try to read alquran? its also available in English version. u should try, will calm down ur depression and make u feel better. worth to try;) have a good day, dont give up! ;)
Me and my mates listened to Placebo religiously back then. They did this version, one of my mates said "Why is he singing it like that?" and I never answered him. I probably did 'fake answer' him and said "I don't know" (when I did know) but that was the day I completely lost respect for that mate in terms of understanding what music is about. If you understand music even 5% you will appreciate this version. It's arguably the best way to do this song. Placebo are one of the best bands to have ever existed, for sure. They are also the most underrated and are hardly ever mentioned, at all. This is why bands like this are so special. Placebo are one of the only bands I have ever heard where you think "That could only be Placebo". I mean you could remove the singing entirely and you'd still know it was Placebo. It's a shame they get nowhere near the recognition they deserve. "Nothing ever ever goes my way" how fitting.
hoaar (: It's so much better than the album version. Mr Molko is a true god!! I don't know anyone who is such a genius like him and who can put so much feelings in one song! And no, it's not only Teenage Angst but also all the other songs by them! huuaach, i am melting (;
@xxSCHNEExx That is so fantastic. I know the feeling well. I get it when I listen to old post-punk fromt he 1980s. Be happy you discovered Placebo at 18 - they're a good soundtrack for the next five years of your life. Have fun!
there are 9 dislikes? WTF? who can NOT like this!?! Brian is so fucking gorgeous. this version of the song is gorgeous. the lyrics are gorgeous. it's like a festival of beauty.
he looks so fucking pretty wtf

You can't write that unless you've lived it.
God there's something about this man... and their songs. And his voice. Placebo best band ever
I'm crying.
I was there...Ahhh. I''m old :(
yes, you are absolutely lucky
It was amazing, saw them in Brighton a few weeks before too, met them :)
we all age :(
you are soooo lucky!!! the things i would give just to be able to go back in time and be there
AndrewMacedonia we keep aging aint that the pity! I don't relive my past in my thoughts, but I miss the visceral & probably nihilistic feelings I had before!

თეკლა ინაშვილი he's perfect ❤️
He's SO beautiful here..
This performance was just perfect :'))
He's beautiful in this version
This whole performance was absolutely amazing. There was so much raw emotion that you could hear and see in Brian. It's very honest and vulnerable.
amazing song+beautiful voice+perfect performance= PLACEBO
I wish this video wasn`t black and white. It would be great to see amazing colour of his eyes too!!
perfection
I really love the version. So emotive. So serene. So beautiful. Since I was born I started to decay.
Mr. Molko, Mr. Olsdal, Mr. Hewitt- you are gods.
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life
Airs and social graces, elocution so divine. I'll stick to my needle, and my favorite waste of time, both spineless and sublime...
i hope he still talks with steven.
I don‘t think I‘ll ever stop coming back to this performance. I might actually have to screen record it in case anything happens to youtube in the future
MY GOD BRIAN IS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL
Best performance EVER!!!!! I swear I almost cried when I first saw this video two years ago.... thanks for the upload ^^ 5 stars!
I had the opportunity to hear this version last year here in Chile and honestly i'd never cried so hard in my entire life like i did with this song.
wish they would come back to south america
Oh my Godness ..when I listen to this it's like all my life and my feelings..my all and everything I want are with me..are in this song..Placebo is perfection !

Me and my mates listened to Placebo religiously back then. They did this version, one of my mates said "Why is he singing it like that?" and I never answered him.
