Song To Say Goodbye
by Placebo
"You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And a voice that made me cry
"

I love this song with all my heart. Placebo were my true teenage obsession. I was totally fixated on them and nothing else to the degree that I became obsessed with The Smiths because Brian Molko mentioned them once. The same goes for The Pixies and The Eels, strangely. I bought every single Placebo Album, as well as the singles and the re-release of Sleeping With Ghosts.

This song has a real feel of desperation and passion mixed together into this ugly mess. The instrumentation is gorgeous and very hanting indeed. The mix between the piano and the electronic instrumentation is perfect.

Listen to it here!
Then you may thank me profusely.
