-- LYRICS --
I leave this world
With a glint in my eye
I've untold all of my lies
And all the joy
I leave behind
I'll miss you too
Love of mine
Today no tombstone
No goodbyes
My soul is full
Watch it fly
When I return
Prodigal son
This wounded world
Will be as one
Be as one
I leave this world
A hopeful song
Without a tear
I will prolong
My bruises healed
My scars are gone
And every beating
Made me strong
So please don’t cry
Don’t think it's wrong
My soul is pure
It sings along
When I return
A better me
You'll see that sorrow can set you free
Set you free
Set you free
(I’ll set you free)
Set you free
(I’ll set you free)
I leave this world to you all
The constellations will never fall
And if you’re fearful
Bare no mind
The sun will rise
Heed your call
No open casket
No sullen wake
Your will heart will mend
If you break
So without greed
Without pride
Shout I'm alive
I am alive
(I’ll set you free)
I am alive
(I’ll set you free)
I am alive
(I’ll set you free)
I am alive
(I’ll set you free)
I am alive
(I’ll set you free)
(I’ll see you free) - Видеоклипы
Listening this in Moscow in 2023 and hoping that some day this wounded world be as one again
I hope too

The violin part is obviously a tribute to David Bowie, it covers his vocal notes on the final bridge of Under Pressure.
yes!
homage to 2 great people and artists that are, somehow, very alive with us
Dude!! I thought I heard that!! So incredible! This band is so amazing 😍
💙🌌
Yes It Is 😉❤️🌹
Only Placebo can make you smile and shed some tears at the same time
Their music is BEAUTIFUL
So true! This song literally brings tears to my eyes while putting a smile on my face as well
They rule but um lots of artists do that for me
@@jekylwhispy4181 For example?
@@alanarkham143 you've never listened to David Bowie?
@@jekylwhispy4181 Of course I have. I love him! I was just curious about what artists can make you feel that way. anyways, as much as I love him, only Placebo does that thing to me. Hard to explain...
This song is the best and it's true. Beautiful redemption song. Even we can feel disappointed of this world, family, yourself, god... In the end we will find a way and we will be fine sn joined by the final journey. Amazing, rich, happy, hopeful song. Brian is so calm here. Placebo is the prodigal son of XXI century music, next to Bowie, the artists that changed my universe. Thanks for this precious album.
bellissima canzone e piena di significato ❤
Calm down
@@filomenaghironi8971 vero!! davvero fantastica!!
Chemtrails the best
Asi tak...
I think Brian has a very very beautiful soul, his music brought tears of happiness to me in some very dark and lonely times.
2 / 5 / 1980
All my love,
James.
BEST SONG OF THE ALBUM! Sooo emotional, nostalgic, sad but full of love. Made me cry since the first time i've heard it Y.Y
I'm agree 😍💖✨
@@elizabethrosales997 me too 💝💗💝
Me too 😭✨
Agree with you 😍✨😪❣💫
Fully agree
Placebo will never die. Even when your bodies give up, the majesty, beauty and power of your music will live on until mankind no longer exists.
Liked, but please don't wish for (Wo-)Mankind to give up, will not happen!
you said it so beautifully:) i like it
@@nicoletagroedahl9375 Happy Easter Holiday
So true.
I have been a long time placebo fan since I was a kid. About 11 or 12 years old. I just turned 30. Top five favorite bands, even have a tattoo and shit.
I lost my father last week on Wednesday 3/16 at 2:56am. I also very much had a prodigal son type relationship with my father. I was strung out on drugs for years, ran away, suicide attempts, jail, prison, rehabs, the list goes on.
I wronged him in the worst of ways and worried him sick for years. For the past four years I have been sober. I made amends to my father, we rebuilt our relationship. He not only forgave me, he never even let it cloud his view of me whatsoever. I was very close to him. He was so happy that I didn’t die before him. He was so proud of me and the man I have become…
He was the wisest, kindest, most forgiving man I have ever known. I don’t know if it’s coincidence that this song came out the week after his death. But it literally sounds like my dad is talking to me. This song made me break down pretty hard, as you could imagine...
Dad, I love you, thank you for never giving up on me. I will miss you forever. Nothing will ever be quite the same without you.
😢
😢😢 ti comprendo molto!!
I send you lots of love. I hug you in the distance.
I've just lost my mother and I have been a twat too. She's had so much pain from me. Value your life. This band is an emotional roller-coaster, interpretation of every single word is all yours. Stay strong
God love you both lad,yet look how far you've come.Your'e comment says it all.Strive to be the best version of you & make him proud.Lift others up ,be selfless, let never your ego get in the way. Be as happy as happy will allow be a beacon of strength & hope to any & all.Tjen you have beaten life.Best of luck to the future.
i really love this song, my dad left this world some days ago, and somehow this song brings a little bit of peace to my heart
I don’t know if Placebo read the comments, but ‘never let me go’ is a really meaningful, beautiful & a little bit sad album. There’s no black sheep. This song especially touched me. Thank you. ✊
2:18 Under Pressure
💔
The back violins at one point remind me of Under Pressure kind of vibes. For sure one of the finest song Placebo ever made. That's pure art, a masterpiece.
I was scrolling through the comments hoping I wasn't the only one who heard that!! So beautiful
As a huge Queen, Bowie and Placebo fan I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard that 😄
I think it could be some kind of tribute
being that David Bowie, it CAN'T be a coincidence (let alone plagiarism). I think it's homage
Definitely a beautiful song. what a tribute to David and Freddy.
the way he goes to his higher register for the first time on "I am alive"
Album of the year , no contest, no arguments . Simples
This song is so heartbreakingly beautiful.
Whenever I listen to the melodies of Placebo I think of other times I feel nostalgic...an instant classic 🤍
Is anybody else hearing Pyscadellic Furs? BEAUTIFUL!
Listening to this song for about the 20th time, I realized that this is exactly what I've been waiting for. I'm going to have this song played at my funeral, I've already put it in my will. Thank you Brian for such beautiful lyrics.
Thats very selfish of you.
@@fakename6658 How is this a selfish comment? Someone is expressing their feelings.
This is probably the best placebo album ever. I am absolutely blown away
It's definitely the clever musically but lacks some proper "Tunes" 👌 if you'll excuse the cliché.
Without You I'm Nothing will forever be my favourite Placebo album but all their albums upto and including were good, Battle For The Sun and Loud Like Love have some strong tracks individually but as complete album's they were inconsistent and didn't quite work.
This new album definitely flows very well if you take out Try Better Next Time which is pretty terrible in truth!
I kinda agree, this is their best as an album but not my favorite, is kinda hard personally i think my favorite may be BMM or Meds, which is funny cause when meds came out i only liked Song to say goodbye and post blue, till a few years ago, in 2016 i believe, i listened again after almoist 10 years and fell in love with the album.
Without you I'm nothing (masterpiece) is their best album.
@@adamknight7041 I do not agree about Try better next time. I like the song 🙂.
Without I'm nothing is the best
I never thought any placebo album could take the number 1 spot that Meds had at least for me until I heard this one.Has to be their best album
"Shout I AM ALIVE!"
Questa non è affatto una semplice canzone. È molto di più. È meditazione, è incoraggiamento. C'è speranza, sogno, attesa, la cruda realtà, tristezza, ma tanta leggerezza, e delicatezza, tanta delicatezza.
Impossibile non cantarla con il sorriso sulle labbra e "con un luccichio negli occhi".
Grazie
totalmente d'accordo!!
La vedo come te... È un brano veramente raffinato, sia da un punto di vista musicale, sia per quanto riguarda il piano testuale/ concettuale... Del resto l'essere umano senza errori e senza successi, senza pensieri e senza ripensamenti, senza istinto ma anche ragione e presa di coscienza... Cosa sarebbe? Non un altro animale (magari).. piuttosto un automa. E i Placebo hanno sempre rappresentato e celebrato luci e ombre...
Ma ora l'umanità é davvero ad un punto di svolta: deve chiedere scusa a se stessa, agli animali, all'intero pianeta!
Prendere coscienza e diventare custode di tutto, parte di tutto, non oppressore!
Io la interpreto così 😊
@@sostrangefruit6723 un'analisi con i fiocchi, la tua. Concordo in pieno ;)
Ma grazie☺️☺️
È un piacere confrontarsi tra "soulmates"... Quella dei Placebo è una bella community, un po' sciroccata ma bella, e gentile😉
saw them live in helsinki and oslo, i just want to give them a huge hug for a great performance
I'm going through a difficult period. Interpreting this song, I understand that all my desires to go to another world, cuts on my hands, escapes from home and loss of the meaning of life are just part of the countless trials that I have to go through.God does not send us those trials that we are not able to pass.Dear reader, you will be fine too.
Difficult period sounds like you have PMS.
Amen
Song of placebo with violon IS very lyrics elegant
Very very good Melody👍
For me this is easily one of the best songs ever written. Thank you for your new masterpiece of an album, thank you for all those years of authenticity, passion and meaning, thank you for all those times yiur songs made me strong during the baddest of times and situations, thank you for the 2 live shows you gave in Byblos Lebanon and Beirut Lebanon that I can never forget. Thank you for being you. I love you guys. I hope that this song gets its own music video
My best friend died the day this song came out. I’m shaken to the core
And 4 months later. This still makes me cry for my friend. I miss him. What a perfect song
Please Placebo, play this song live on upcoming tour! 🙏
they did not, but i wished they would..
i hope opening tour 2023 in mexico city april 17
This is insane guys. You made a masterpiece!Powerful songwriting and along with the music and production it's literally making me feel emotionally alive.Much love from Greece!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
My partner left earth 2 years ago, loved Placebo. This is like his farewell to us through Brian Molko.
Devastatingly gorgeous!
It’s criminal how damn gorgeous that man has always been.
see them live
I lost my husband 18 months ago (April of 2022), and I also very much connected to this song.
@@jenromano19 IAM extremely sorry for your loss, I wish I could help...
I am absolutely fascinated by this song ! I am 16 years old and Placebo is one of my favourite bands ever !!
Дети мои, у вас замечательный вкус к музыке и жизни, если вы понимаете философию Placebo. Слушаю с 1996, с их первого альбома, сейчас у меня уже внуки, но наслушаться не могу! 🤝
I cannot find one song I don’t like on this album!!
THIS SONG IS HEAVEN, SOUNDS LIKE MOLKO THINKING ABOUT BOWIE
Thank you PLACEBO.
Molko youre the best vocal ever
Best Placebo album in a while...
This song is so beautiful, and the homage to Bowie and Queen's Under Pressure made me cry.
The best thing that happened to the the world this year 💞
The best song from this great album.
Placebo have been with me since a kid to adult - I struggle to find I connect or understand emotions, but placebo have always been there. Favourite band for over 20 years. Thank-you for everything x
Instant favourite track
MASTERPIECE!
Placebo, you're the BEST!!! 🤍
This song is a masterpiece and this album is the best from Placebo. First concert of Placebo for me yesterday in Accor Arena (Bercy) and i was blown away to the performance and the show with 20 000 people. Placebo is one of the best band of the 21th century with Coldplay, Green Day, Muse and so many other bands, Placebo is an innovation of rock music since 25 years now !! Thank you Placebo !! We love you guys
I leave this world
With a glint in my eye
I've untold all of my lies
And all the joy
I leave behind
I'll miss you too
Love of mine
Today no tombstone
No goodbyes
My soul is full
Watch it fly
When I return
Prodigal son
This wounded world
Will be as one
Be as one
I leave this world
A hopeful song
Without a tear
I will prolong
My bruises healed
My scars are gone
And every beating
Made me strong
So please don't cry
Don't think it's wrong
My soul is pure
It sings along
When I return
A better me
You'll see that sorrow can set you free
Set you free
Set you free
(I'll set you free)
Set you free
(I'll set you free)
I leave this world to you all
The constellations will never fall
And if you're fearful
Bare no mind
The sun will rise
Heed your call
No open casket
No sullen wake
Your will heart will mend
If you break
So without greed
Without pride
Shout I'm alive
I am alive
I am alive
(I'll set you free)
I am alive
(I'll set you free)
I am alive
(I'll set you free)
I am alive
❤❤..RESPECT..I'm a Live..
Gracias
i saw them live last year, this song was not in the show. i love this song, its pure melancholy, is so Placebo
I think this has become my favorite PLACEBO song, I can't stop listening to it🌈
Placebo were with me in my darkest times and provided me with music that spoke what i felt when i wasnt able to communicate. Its been 15 years, i am better. And i am finally fighting for myself, thank you for your music, this song is so soothing.
thanks for the tears that otherwise never come out
This band with me all my life. And will be.
The perfect song exists 😍
Oh my word! Breathtaking and stunningly beautiful. Thank you Placebo for settling us free! We are alive because of you……
Best song of the album hands down
I remember listening to Black Eyed a long time ago and thinking, wow, if I ever wanted to run, angry and hopeless, that would be my soundtrack… now comes The Prodigal… so that sweaty, angry man can feel understood and stand up again. Because I’m alive.
That nod towards under pressure broke my heart 😢
The Prodigal is THE masterpiece of the album. Such strong feelings that It’s so difficult to put them into words.
I was scared when I heard « Happy Birthday in the Sky » and when Brian said it was the most emotional song in the record because it clearly isn’t
I started to be apprehensive after the last two singles but the album is, by far, their best one since Meds
Beautiful lyrics. Hello from Germany!
Placebo Is my all world ❤️...Brian dont forget It babyloveboy
It's impossible for me to listen to this song without shedding a few tears. It's probably my favourite. Pure beauty.
Best album of the year... Brilliant... Masterpiece...
Jeden Tag hoere ich ein Lied von Placebo, das Herz schlägt schneller bei diesen wunderbaren Song's. 🥰🌿☮
Thanks for your soulful songs. Listening you at least 15 years! With love from Ukraine💙💛
Best song I hear this year and one of the best of Placebo!
C'est une merveille
I fell in love with this song the first time I listened to it. Placebo has been in my life from time to time, and now that I’m 38, I’ve realised that they’ve grown with me all this time. They’ve evolved, and I absolutely adore them.
These stringed instruments make this song unique and magnificent! Ciao from Milano to all Placebo fans from all over the world
Sono appena tornato da Milano. Abitavo la. Mi manca tanto. Andró a vedere Placebo Novembre a Manchester. Suonano a Milano? ❤️
@@benlidster9925 il concerto è il 27.10 at the Forum. I'll be there 🙂
So, so emotional... I just love it... one more jewel in the last album! Thanks, Placebo, for all this. "I am alive" 🙂
Placebo, always and forever
You make tears in my eyes Always❤️
Beatutiful song but how sad ! I can't stop crying
Absolutely adore this song and all placebo do, will play this at my funeral, says everything
2:16 is the highlight of the album for me, holy fuck
Eterni. Che dire..... Bravo Brian!!!!
Placebo always the Best ❤️
Beautiful song. The back violins remind me to Blur's "The Universal".
Absolutely amazing, one of the best songs on the album 🙂
Best one 👌
I would say the best 😉
@@lucaripari6371 Definitely 😀
Thanks Placebo for everything you give us! Love from Argentina! I hope to see you soon in my country! 🙅
this is my favorite song from the new album already
What a beautiful song Placebo have made another stunning album x
Ma chanson préférée de cet album.
Elle me donne des frissons ! Aussi bien les paroles que la mélodie.
J'ai bientôt 53 ans et fan depuis le début de Placebo.
S'il fallait élire la meilleure chanson de cette album sans hésitation celle ci
@@l.ldrinkwater Complètement d'accord avec vous.
Elle est vraiment très belle !
Блин , Брайан , спасибо за кислотную юность , за безумную музыку , за эмоции и воспоминания . Прекрасный альбом . Ура !!
If this plays live I'll cry
What a great album Placebo has done!! Always on point!
Песня сразу меня зацепила, но стала любимой только спустя полгода после первого прослушивания. Абсолютно прекрасная мелодия. Текст этой песни, смысл помогает в моменты, когда мне плохо. Каждый раз, когда я слышу голос Брайана в "the prodigal", меня тянет плакать, этот шедевр затрагивает самые глубины моей души. Лучшая песня в моей жизни, я бесконечно счастлива, что познакомилась с placebo
Именно так)
Placebo , Brian's voice and the classical strings ..now THAT is perfection ! All three of my favourite things all together 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 so having this played at my funeral !
Such a beautiful and positive song. Thanks, Placebo.
Amo questa canzone è la più bella di tutto l'album. Grande... Placebo, il connubio tra la musica e la travolgente voce di Brian, infonde serenità e speranza...in un mondo in cui amore ce n'è poco😢❤
This beauty.
Excellent.
💖 I leave this world A hopeful song Without a tear I will prolong My bruises healed My scars are gone And every beating Made me strong 💖
