-- LYRICS --
The memory drugs
Make memory snow
I think but I forget
My imagination doesn’t know where to go
So it goes to sleep instead
The memory tapes
Of memory fucking
Fill me with regret
Now my memory shapes
Forgot their own names
And I can't get out of bed
(Shit)
My memory body
My memory skin
I want to kiss your pretty face
The memory drugs
Are a discipline
So I can know and keep my place
It’s all good
When nothing matters
It's all good
When no one cares
It's all good
When I feel nothing
It's all good
When I'm not there
And with friends like you
Who needs enemies?
And with friends like you
Who needs enemies?
With friends like you
Who needs enemies?
Friends like you
It's all good
When nothing matters
It's all good
When no one cares
It's all good
When I feel nothing
It's all good
When I'm not there
It's all good
When nothing matters
It's all good
When no one cares
It's all good
When I feel nothing
It's all good
When I'm not there
It's all good
When nothing matters
It's all good
When no one cares
It's all good
When I feel nothing
It's all good
When I'm not there - Hudba
This song is an absolute killer. What a good damn opener. Those metallic sounds…
I agree, I keep saying this too! It might be my favorite Placebo opener, hands down.
remdinded me of old Einstürzende Neubauten Sounds but smooth/clean
@@GoldenboY-DE I’m not familiar with them! Do you have a recommendation?
@@marchmont5918
Listen to their second album, the beat one, in my opinion. Its name is Without you I'm nothing. Adorabile, starting from the title track!
*their best one
Oh Placebo, right when the world is a bloody mess, you give us music that puts a smile on our faces and a ray of hope. Thank You!
Placebo died after Meds.
@@BalboaBaggins commercial albub , like a beautiful lie, there was a time
I agree 👌👌❤
A bloody mess indeed.

“And with friends like you , who needs enemies ?”
When you hit certain age, and you know you have to struggle all your life with depression, angst, death, that you have never feel like others or maybe you just can't figured out why to feel joy is so hard, and chemicals help but also kill you and numb your soul but make you functional.... You can get high with this sonic meaningful song. Placebo never disappoints my dispair. This is exactly how I feel having to deal with meds and depression. Or with bipolar diagnosed lovers and friends. Just drain and then feeling all the emotions but thanks to a pill then better and then nothing. And no one really cares. Fucking deep amazing song. Love placebo wit, rawness, truth, passion.
I have depression. And I'm sending you a hug right now. I wish you well.
@@brunagomes4333 big, truthful hug back. Thanks beautiful girl. We must keep breathing 🖤
Are you an artist?
that makes one of us.
@@marcpope3031 yes kind of, mainly a writer.
Soulmates never die!
Placebo died after Meds.
@@BalboaBaggins and rebirth with LLL & NEVER LET
@@BalboaBaggins that is true its not the same
@@BalboaBaggins last album was good
And it's all good when nothing matters
It's all good when no one cares
It's all good when I feel nothing
It's all good when I'm not there ❤️
the best of Placebo is to see them live, travel for music, as we do
BRIAN MOLKO:
“Well, Forever Chemicals was probably the first track on the album that we started working on, and that’s probably why it’s the first. In around 2016, I was sat in my studio with Stef, on the iPad, I had this drum machine, and I quickly programmed the beat, just like that. Then I realised that you could take that beat with this drum machine and put it on to any instrument from an orchestra. So I put the drum beat on a harp and I distorted it and put some delay on it. And then you’ve got that loop that from Forever Chemicals that opens the album, and it’s kind of cool because it was sort of slightly reminiscent of Infra-Red, but more brutal kind of a statement of intent sonically, for the record, to kind of start with that and Forever Chemicals is one of the songs that I rewrote over and over and over again lyrically. It started off as a song about police brutality and I tried to put myself in the heart and soul of somebody who had lost someone, uh, who’d been murdered by the police, then as I spoke to more people I was I was kind of advised not really to go there and I wondered if I was going to be inviting a great deal of aggro into my life. And I’m kind of glad they did because it forced me to go into a sort of a more ambiguous territory with Forever Chemicals. What it’s actually about, I think, is that it is up to the listener.”

did you
Your work is like any other job. Some fall by way side, others fade. What is left, is you. Intelligent, a master of of words. I thank you, and the satalites that surround you.
Forever looking for love, hoping it, might find me, hidden away, just for today.
Live your life, without love, walk the streets that you grew upon, that grew on you, a love that never fades.
Nostalgia is a curse that haunts me, just today, just today. Put away in box that's out of sight.
For love is for this day, this I share with you, today, only today.
.
I definitely hear the similarities to Infra-Red but this is better and has more power.
When I was I kid running around, looking for answers, away from home.
I'd stand at the front of the bus, pretending.
But stars were shining down on me, and the rocket fuelled, I had find them.
My piggy bank is full coin, can't take me places I need to go.
My daddy sits and rots, he killed mommy, but I'm not alone.
I had a few ideas that the changed not for the better, but changed our World.
This tin can can take me further, as Iunfirl.
THIS SONG. This album. Thank you, guys. It's a life savior.
This is one of the strongest album openers I've ever heard !
Placebo died after Meds.
Sure shits on the Chili Pepper's recent soporific embarrassment!
@@BalboaBaggins what XD
@@BalboaBaggins I agree but they've been resurrected with this album barring 1 or 2 tracks which aren't so great the majority of it is absolutely awesome.
Excellent thing,really and so true🤘🤟👍
Placebo: to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame... do you agree? :)
The more you hear the more you want to listen...!!!! This song is a unique and amazing music experience....sounds like it's from the future......!!!!!!!
it's true !
πες τα
@@JohnSmith-dr5zn Τα λέω φίλε μου...!!!!!!
Oh, this is so good. I just love the metallic flavor of this song. I could listen over and over. So addictive.
Honest opinion,Never let me go is probably the best album I've been listening to this year..Placebo still rocks,period.
Saw them live yesterday after 14 years,amazing concert❤
And it's all good
When nothing matters
It's all good
When no one cares
It's all good
When I feel nothing
It's all good
When I'm not there
this is so unreal good
Mentality of 99% of wealthy people
Its super rare for a band to be able to maintain their sound while at the same time push themselves forward sonically and creatively but Placebo have proved it with this album in my opinion. Musically as good as anything they've done and artistically as good as anything Ive heard in years. Thanks for another piece of art Brian and Stef!
it’s not super rare, stop with the dilusions
@@user-oz5xb9ed3w It may not be rare, but most bands don't figure it out.
Even Queen had a pretty hard time moving forwards with their musical style after the early 80s.
I agree with you. Placebo is the only band that i constantly loved throughout the years... smashing pumpkins, muse they all became worst and i dont like their new stuff anymore...
@@anaferreira596 For me it's Placebo and Bastille that keep pumping out new good music while keeping their sound
agreed!!!!
I am so grateful that my absolute favourite band is awake to what is going on in this world. Speaking on censorship, pharma companies, compliance and much more. God bless.

I'm so grateful that they still make music that's relatable for me. They're the reason I started playing guitar.
Thank you PLACEBO.
This album is pure gold. It has the hint of Without You I'm Nothing, a handful of Sleeping With Ghosts, but stronger and more mature. This is the Placebo I love. I'm obsessed with this album.
Yaaaaaaaas, the wait is over. Seen you guys for the Meds tour/time, in Glasgow secc . Absolutely F****** Amazing show, from one of the best bands EVER for me 🏴🎶
Placebo died after Meds.
Meds is absolutely their best album. I did also fall away from Placebo after that but this album has brought me back. Not many faults and some steller tracks
Without you I'm nothing is their best album. A masterpiece 🙂. Most of their other albums are great/very good and I like the new album a lot 🙂.
They are a great band and the voice is magical, their unique sound is the best, I've been following them for a long time and they never cease to amaze me.
Simply amazing. Can't stop listening.
Best album of the year... Brilliant... Masterpiece...
My favourite from this album. ❤
Placebo's latest albums - Loud like love and Never let me go - are masterpieces... wonderful songs and wonderful band...
Amazing. Placebo are still doing great music 💜.
This song is "so good" it breaks my heart. 🌺🌿 Truth.
Just another masterpiece of an album by PLACEBO!!
The best track of the new album.
So true!
happy birthday
Soulmates never die! Amazing song and my, oh my...what an amazing album - a real surprise! Thank you so much Brian and Stef! ;)
Started with this beauty in Leeds/as rest of tour.. What a band, superb 👍
Without a doubt my favorite track on the new album. Great sound. I hope they continue to explore this melody
I could do with a whole album of this sound
WTF! Thank you Placebo for this song. This is what we need, perfect song, riffs. I lose my mind. 🖤🖤🖤 Soulmates never die. 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
No tiene ni tantita madre esta canción. Wow... 🎩
Mi compa de Latam
Strong heavy sound that describe my inner feeling the best.Absolute masterpiece from the new album.🖤🔥
Trop d'émotions en ce jour de sortie de votre nouvel album. Merci pour tout et merci de nous le partager. Brian, Stefan et tous les autres un très grand merci. Placebo the best sound !!!
Saw this live on the 21st before My Chemical Romance. Instantly fell in love with the band despite having never heard of them before, I'm addicted to them now!! This song was such a great opener, and their songs sound amazing live, I'd recommend going to see them if you can!!
Welcome to placebo world. They are fucking amazing
You'd never heard of Placebo?... Dude have you been on Mars the past 25 years? 😂
Their early stuff is still the best in some ways but this album definitely their best since Meds in 2006 or arguably even Sleeping With Ghosts in 2003 so that's a very long wait for another great Placebo record as the previous 2 were abit average.
@@adamknight7041
My mom and many other people that were alive in the 90s have told me how long they've been around lmao but I unfortunately was not around back then, I'm for sure checking out their earlier stuff now!!
You have to experience each album for yourself. They all have a different vibe but they are always Placebo and I have never been disappointed.
saw them gigis in Helsiki, it was awsome.
Grande album di una band che non sbaglia mai nulla.
Placebo unici 🖤
Just...thank you very much, Placebo.
If you are gonna start an album with a song, this is how you do it !
this is a brutal song to start a album with! thank you placebo!
Possibly my favorite song from this album. Listening on repeat.
Thank you , thank you so much ! It’s absolutely fabulous !
Waiting for your live concert in Italy! What a masterpiece the whole album!
Просто отличное звучание, впечатляет. 🔥
This song sends shivers down my spine... xxxxx truly brilliant album..xxxx 👏👌😄😀🙌❤👏👌😄
Thank you for being part of my life and my struggles.
I just have to say.....it never fails. In the middle of this studio version of Forever Chemicals I always think my land line phone is ringing. It is creative because it is right when Brian is singing "With friends like you....who needs enemies". Another brilliant line. Having that phone ringing a few times is cool. I take my headphones off every time and think who could be possibly be calling my old 29 year old land line? I love watching the live version and seeing Brian and Stefan harmonize "who needs enemies". I love when rock stars learn very young their style and nobody else has it. They are cool, creative, can put on a great performance but no matter what: there is that part about Brian that has his unique cool way of playing guitar and Stefan the same with his bass. All my favorite bands and rockstars have a uniqueness I can see instantly.
I thought I was the only one hahaha
What a piece of art to the brain.
have received "Never let me go" today. Absolute genius of an album!, I can't wait for Brixton!!
I am glad that you are still around and still making music. Peace and health to you and yours. :)
Placebo 오랜만에 들어도 너무좋은 몰코의 목소리 계속해서 음악해줘 😍 그리고 이제 콘서트다시 시작하니 한국에도 다시와줘
What a song !👌 Fluid & Metallic et très addictive! Un album réjouissant, une excellente surprise entre 2 léthargies ! 💗
ive got to see the gigs in Helsinki, this song opened the show, i loved it..i was so near the band that i could touch them... What a energy, Molko is the hero, he is Placebo
probably my favourite! what a great album!
Another jewel from the new album... and the best to open a concert!! Awesome!! ♥♥♥
One album is better than the next. As always with Placebo. That's okay. The best thing I've heard in a while! It`s geniously . Love .
Wonderful adventure, it's not just one album, it's a journey of many, pinned together by love.
Thumbs up for this song! 👍👍👍 I love the heavy sound!!!
Amazing song 🇬🇷💙🇬🇷💙🇬🇷💙🇬🇷💙
This album feels like the conclusion of Meds, there's a handful of melodies that seam to tease at former songs, and the lyrical content are the yin to meds yang
Im listening this album and dont know what i want more, hug Brian and Stef or kiss their hands. Probably both
A Masterpiece!!! Last year was hell on earth and this song helped me cope.
Gracias al destino que me permitió descubrir a esta maravillosa banda. Este album es buenísimo, de los mejores trabajos de Placebo. Ahora mi sueño es verlos en vivo algún día.
Esperando vengan a Perú
oh yes, it's so good!
This is ssssoooooo addictive 😍👌😄
Such a great Song....music and lyrics TOP and Brian voice it's Simply magic. Welcome back Placebo
Hell Yeah 🤘
Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
I've never fell so fast for an album.
Primer latinoamericano comentando?
Que genios son Placebo!!! Espero con ansias el nuevo disco
Tal vez no. Muchos comentamos en inglés.
E em português também
So glad to hear them with the same sound and still killing it, we need bands like this coming back. Yessss
Dear Brian and Stefan: Argentina miss you so much! I hope to see you sooner than later 🙏 Lots of love! 😘
Super album. Je ne m'en lasse pas. Merci Placebo. Je t'aime Brian. ❤
welcome back placebo
I love this song, it's magical. Placebo has been the band that has had huge impact on my life, helped mental struggles and other hard times in life.
This album proves that Placebo just become better and better and I am a big fan of the earlier works so this is impressive.
Their unique musical talent gives me fuel to be stronger and not giving up, and makes life easier in these hard times. Thank you Placebo!
Thank you for not put ads on this channel, guys!
One of my favourite of this album. Great work !
Trop coul❤
I hope next 2024 we will can see this amazing show in Chile, this album deserve a live presentation in our country. Love u guys, thanks
my teen hero molko rocks the nations despite anything and everything we and him and all of us endure. i love everything about placebo.
No one makes music like placebo🤍
Ahhh this whole album is amazing but this track in particular is so, so good. Placebo ❤️
The wait was worth it 🖤💙
I absolutely love this
Solid since '96. . . Another great addition to the catalog
Amazing. I can feel the energy!
It's love from the first sound!!!!!!!!
its so good 💜
really good 🖤.
it's just an amazing track!Sound like this strongly resembles Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails to me. Placebo have surpassed themselves.😃☺️👍
What an album opener!!!!!! Favourite song from the album .. placebo totally rules!!!;
Entire album. So AWESOME
Well, an unexpectedly good comeback.
The whole Album melts my head
My fave from New album
Brilliant to have you guys back!!
you guys rule so hard. I been a long time fan. I remember well who introduced me cuz he had only one word written on his backpack that Junior year I went to a Catholic school in the city. people always guessed it was some kind of commentary on the word or it was just one he liked a lot. he was really into Sleeping With Ghosts but the public library didn't have it so it was Black Market Music that I got to know first. then, last year I really fell into Without You I'm Nothing. You Don't Care About Us is absolutely my kind of song, like I can't skip that shit. be like k I'll listen to the first part--i just heard that ten minutes ago--but I always end up listening the whole thing. a lot of your songs are like that. every album I hear is just really solid bold but beautiful banger after banger even if your eyes get wet. thanks, guys. so I'm sharing your stuff all the time. anybody who still listens to me is maybe in for a treat. this record is fantastic. hey I can't unhear the Bowie in you guys. I only hear it more all the time.
OMG I LOVE IT
Este tema como inicio del disco es espectacular, la letra y las guitarras fantásticas, la batería maravillosa, una de las canciones que más me gustan de Placebo; en vivo suena demoledora.
Every time i listen to your music its so deep!
This song gives me chills 🖤 🔥
