I showed this to my students to wrap up a lesson about pollution and its consequences... and they loved it. Twenty years ago I was a socially-awkward, hopeless, angsty black-clad teen and a Placebo lover. Never ever thought one day I would be a teacher and show one of their videos to other confused teens like I was - for a class. Thanks Placebo.
This is honestly one of the best cover songs I've ever heard. They've turned this dark fable into a tale of modern times...and it's gloriously tragic! Well done. And thank you for making me aware.
Worthy cover, well done Placebo. Love the anticapitalist message. Love went into this cover and it shows. Africa never flourished to the level that it deserved to. Lets be honest, life's what you make it, but you cannot help in what environment or situation youre born into...
Respect, tolerance, humility and gratitude towards every single life, with everything and everyone we are confronted with on this earth, is the only way to peace! Please wake up before it's too late. This earth and the gift of life is too beautiful...
Placebo donated all his money from his concert in Chile after the big earthquake in the same country. They were invited for the president himself at the palace as well. Thatz Placebo, besides a great music rock band, it's a great music rock band full of humanity and humble's instance
All *_their_* money from *_their_* concert in Chile... Placebo is band with two members - vocalist/guitarist Brian Molko & guitarist/bassist Steven Olsdal. Steve Hewitt (10 years) & then Steve Forrest (8 years) were with the band on drums, but they are now a duo. My point is, Placebo have always been a band & not a solo artist, so referring to them as "him" is incorrect.
I think that the person here only made a mistake, since they talks about Chile, probably speaks Spanish, in Spanish "they" it would be "su", which is singular and plural, so renton90 only made a mistake with the pronoun. Also said "they were invited" lol
@@kh1056 he almost definitely didn't. By all accounts he didn't listen to any Talk Talk stuff anymore. There was a Talk Talk cover album released about 8 years ago, and he only listened to one song on that album.
I didn't even know that he had died. I feel like I spent the last year hiding under a rock after a bad breakup. Rest in peace. I still can't believe it.
One of the most undervalueded band. Placebo can rearrange every song. Brian Molko's voice is something similar to a riot, a hope, an anger like he always do. Their songs always give real feelings.
Donato Virgilio I get the feeling they are better know in Europe? Definitely need more here, but US is hard to crack- too uptight. In any case, I'd BE THERE.
It's a tall order to cover a Talk Talk song, but Placebo nail it beautifully in their own style. They also cover 'Running up that Hill' and Nik Kershaws 'Wouldn't it be good ', beautifully ❤️
I love Placebo & this cover, but nothing is better than the original Talk Talk song, by the peerless Mark Hollis. It is a raw & touching song of his, beautifully arranged. Neither band is better than the other, they are unique & special :)
Brian's voice is familiar, and as good as it was. I've seen them live in 2013, gosh, such a delightful memory. They use their art to enlighten our dreams. way to go Placebo
I think humans are similar to bees in the way people buzz around looking for usable energy. When something is is healthy it sends out a tune to the universe, either via song or appearance.
Oh my God, how delighted am I with this lucky find. Always having been a Placebo fan, I am completely in love with this song. In my opinion, its meaning is so beautifully captured, by music, vocals and incredible cinematography. This will for sure be shared on my social media and played on repeat for weeks if not months on end. Thank you Placebo for making exceptional music.❤
The song is a cover, I must say that I love both the cover as much as the original. Only... I miss here the voice of Mark Hollis, may he rest in peace.
Easily best and powerful short film of 2016/2017 with the fabulous cover of Talk Talk’s Life’s What You Make It. Placebo did real honor to that song. RIP Mark Hollis.
@@GrauzoneBay Naaaah, LWYMI is going to be played at my funeral. Coloour of Spring, fantastic album. But 'LIfewyMI' is the instant hook. Relentless bass line/drumbeat, bout a soaring vocal, shows how you can make life what you make it.X
This is one of the best covers of a song I have ever heard! This and Running Up That Hill, also by Placebo. Absolutely incredible song. Listening to it on repeat, I can't stop.
Placebo, Blondie,Depeche Mode,Garbage, Kasabian...all my favourite bands have released new albums! This year to me might be a little bit harsh, but music makes my life better for sure ♥
Love the way Placebo covered this song. I remember the original and always liked it, it's so good the way Placebo have recorded it. Excellent job from Brian and Company.
I want to cry when I listen to the lyrics in this song-it's so amazing,then I see the video and give my head a shake.I'm on the breadline in my country but I'm positively blessed with riches compared to the people picking through land fills for a living. I was only twelve when Talk Talk released this and I loved it then.Placebo have done it justice IMO.
I’d like to point out that this is a cover of the incomparable Talk Talk Life’s what you make it written by the genius Mark Hollis. It’s important to remember the original artists as they were the ones who paved the way for bands like Placebo.
i appreciate placebo for their intention to show for society such a huge problem of e-waste dumping area .I had to learn about it in my school and i highly recommend all of you to find out about this more . Thanks, placebo❤(sorry for any mistakes i am non-native speaker)
Yesterday I had a great time great with you and I hope you had a great time with your family and I I hope you are doing well and too busy with your family and your family and your family your way home in a the same best day at the same place as you are now the next time you are in the city of the city of the city world and you are going to be in a good place good for the best and of the world best to your family and friends and with the best of the luck of the family and your family is the best place thing to do this weekend 7 7am I hope you are having a having fun with your family in and out here
Amazing! Wonderful! I saw the title but I said to myself: It can't be, may be they're only share the name song. BUT NO! Is a cover from the legendary Talk Talk. I LOVE THIS!
Placebo siempre sorprendiendo desde elegir un buen tema en cover y el mensaje que transmite. Simplemente me encantó aunque no se mostraran ellos en el videoclip.
I am watching a documentary on Accra, Ghana being a dumping ground for fast fashion and western clothes (a lot of what the people in this video are wearing), and thought of this music video on Agbogbloshie (also in Accra) being a dumping ground for electronics. As much as I like this song, the video is really just as painfully powerful.
Grandi placebo..avete dato il giusto riconoscimento a una delle band dove il loro riconoscimento è valore e stato sempre sotto valutato i TALK TALK..MERITAVANO DI PIU DAL PANORAMA MUSICALE!!..
I’m 56 and a huge talk Talk fan. I have to say….this is a fantastic authentic cover.
I agree (58) & I usually really don’t like Talk Talk covers
They haven't spoilt this version.
Word
Sólo instrumentalmente
Agree, i am by no means a Placebo fan, but Molko can certainly do marvelous covers.
One of the best bands ever. RIP Marc Hollis.
Who's that?
@@somerandomarmydudeTalk Talk lead singer - this is a cover of one of their song

That's awesome.
More people need to learn about Talk Talk. This Band was so underrated.
@@Hunter4376 absolutely agree
Cool 😊😎🇦🇺
Good point, but the video shows a rubbish dump with cows and destruction. What did you talk about? That s trivial
Beautiful Talk Talk cover. Respect to Placebo, respect to Talk Talk and RIP Mark Hollis.
This is honestly one of the best cover songs I've ever heard. They've turned this dark fable into a tale of modern times...and it's gloriously tragic! Well done. And thank you for making me aware.
Check out Rowland S Howard's version. My favourite cover.
So beautifully put
Great cover...
Rip Marc Hollis
Talk Talk one of the most underrated bands of all time. Big respect to Placebo for covering this gem. Great Riff .And awesome clip.
do you think when i was at sixth form i remember them being HUGE for years
Why underrated?
@@mrstentakel6173 Mark Hollis is a genius, never got the credit for that I think, I agree with @khristian Vinales
Everything Talk Talk did is perfect.
No doubt
They're not even played here in America..
And They're one of the best bands I've ever listened to
Worthy cover, well done Placebo. Love the anticapitalist message. Love went into this cover and it shows.
Africa never flourished to the level that it deserved to. Lets be honest, life's what you make it, but you cannot help in what environment or situation youre born into...

What's the point though the money never gets to were it needs to go hence why there's still charity's asking for more money 😂
Placebo is love
Genius Mark Hollis. RIP😢
Oh, those drums at the end...
As die-hard Talk Talk fan, I love this cover version.
I'm really trying to get into, so could you recommend me something to start from? I mean Talk Talk's music
I approve of this. Gwen Stefani should have been shot for butchering them. This is a brilliant cover.
@@layandrestforawhileYou want a primer on Talk Talk look up Talk Talk live at Montreaux. That’s all you need to know. That’s it.
I agree
RIP Mark Hollis
Oh my God.. I didn't know that Mark passed away.... It's so sad that such a talented musician died with nearly no media attention
@@woweezowee4713 a big loss
@@woweezowee4713 There was certainly very little mainstream media reporting of his death.

My eyes are open, its our job to pass it on .xx
So different and new sound they always do it right. 45 and I've been listening since 20's
man Placebo treats all their covers with so much love, care and respect. Such an underrated band. Been following since 2003, always will
Very few bands/lead singer can redo this song. Brian is perfect! This was one of my fav songs in the 80s.
It sucks that Talk Talk is not mentioned anywhere on this page besides the comments section. All covers should be identified somewhere on the page.
I fully agree👍🏼
totally! 👍
This video deserves more awards and views. It's more moving than countless others.
Merci Placebo pour cette lucidité, authenticité ! Supers musique et groupe !

THIS SONG MAKE BY "TALK TALK" BAND!!!! DO YOU KNOW?..NO WORD..I AM TIRED!!! SONO INCAZZATO!!!!
Placebo are different than any other band. The message of this video is strong and touching and Brian's voice emphasizes it
It's a tall order to cover a Talk Talk song, but Placebo nail it beautifully in their own style.
They also cover 'Running up that Hill' and Nik Kershaws 'Wouldn't it be good ', beautifully ❤️
Placebo knows how to find out the greatest songs and replay them perfectly. I love this.
Thank you Mark Hollis for this present. Placebo and Talk Talk for ever
Brian's voice is always perfect and amazing. each video so powerful. love it.
I didnt know this cover exist until today, im fan of Placebo and Talk Talk. Wow.
They've never made a bad song and always make the covers better. Favourite band since i was little and they're always getting better as i get older
I love Placebo & this cover, but nothing is better than the original Talk Talk song, by the peerless Mark Hollis. It is a raw & touching song of his, beautifully arranged.

It's good but it's not better than the original...
The original is better.
@@michaelgreene4816 Yeah but its a huge effort to make it better than the original. Its a good cover though, very respectfull of the original
Don't know why I'm discovering this 2yrs after it's release.. awesome cover, I'm a huge fan of the original. Great stuff! 😍✌💥
This song is one of my all time favorites. To have Placebo cover it in such a great way is just perfect!
LA VOIX EST SUBLIME !
Great to here contemporary bands paying homage to the genius of Mark Hollis. Great cover.
that guitar riff is amazing
Placebo for my all life🖤
This song, this video. A masterpiece!
This cover gives me the goosebumps every single time I put it on.
We need more videos like this, people like this. People who can show us the awful truth of our humanity
The sad thing is that this song is like 30 years old, but humans have a really short memory
My sister made this video ! A few yrs ago
@@IRLWojakWhat the video shows us also somewhat of the sad thing
This is the only Talk Talk cover I can stand. It is awesome. 🥰
What an absolute crash hot clip! Excellent work!
Incredible cover. Fantastic. Harrowing footage...
Placebo proves to be an excellent cover band as well - fantastic sound.
This is a great cover of Talk Talk, Marks song! Ty!❤
Brian's voice is familiar, and as good as it was. I've seen them live in 2013, gosh, such a delightful memory. They use their art to enlighten our dreams. way to go Placebo
Love placebo forever
Brought tears to my eyes, exceptional cover of an exquisite song!
huge version of an huge song
Excellent remake of a classic song with a great video. Nice one dude.

Don’t be sharing it like it’s not a cover of Talk Talk. Placebo just did a brilliant cover of an already brilliant song.
@@Ma_PoohNobody can touch Mark Hollis. My god, I still cry when I think about him. What a fucking loss that kids today just won’t ever understand.
Glad to work on this amazing project putting 🇬🇭 on the map
RIP my friend. Thanks for this beauty
Easily best and powerful short film of 2016/2017 with the fabulous cover of Talk Talk’s Life’s What You Make It. Placebo did real honor to that song. RIP Mark Hollis.
Powerful son.
Years go by and they are still as talented as in the first album
its a cover song............................................
noone said it wasnt.......
Placebo also covered Boney M's Daddy Cool and it sounds great. Remember, imitation is the highest form of flattery.
this is a really bad cover, an insult to the spirit of the song. watch the original video with the animals of the forest
you talking about the song or the video? Anyway, it's called irony.
plein de vérités!!!
ouf
This is an excellent cover, the best cover of any Talk Talk Song.
Right but it’s my life comes above lifes what you make it imo

You write very well.
Original theme is from Talk Talk
It,s more about exploitation of ppl who work all they long, along with their children and still are undernourished.
It,s not about dumping waste as such it,s about dumping where poverty allows western world to dump
una delle piu' belle canzoni in assoluto e le radio italiane l'hanno schivata...a parte virgin...PERLA RARA
TALK TALK, Great band ❤
amazigh akim Absolutely!
Yes, exactly!!
great tribute to talk talk and the earth, reality slap and art by placebo courtesy
Amo
Absolument fabuleux talk talk
Placebo are capable to bring my mind, and dream me❤️
Amaré a placebo por siempre, me encanta que sean tan evolucionados y consientes con el mundo, Brian Molko es mi ídolo hace 15 años❤️
That BASS!
Рад, что для съемки этого клипа Брайан наконец-то посетил Саратов!
Артем Каренский Вообще-то это Омск
михаил кривцов XAXAXA

J’adore cette reprise de Talk Talk 👍
They never disappoint
What a soulfull music and video. Thank you Placebo.
Thank you Mark Hollis is more appropriate. Brian just did an incredible job of covering it.
This kinda broke my heart 😢 but yet I loved it!
A clip to think about again and again. The result of "advanced civilization". Moving good Interpretation and cover👌🏻
Mr. Molko I really Love you 😘
Per usual , Placebo exceeds my expectations. Fave song of all time
So pure and honest. That is exactly why I love Placebo and always will.
Marie Christin great cover
Marie Christin Talk Talk song
Kaleiddmode I know.
Marie Christin I prefer talk talk's version
Glad you love them but as has been stated this is a cover. The original is 30+ years old.
So sieht es aus 👍Jeder so wie er /sie mag ❤RIP Mark
Great version! Love the big sound. Guitar is so flowing.
Placebo and Talk Talk? Is this heaven?
Amazing! Wonderful! I saw the title but I said to myself: It can't be, may be they're only share the name song.
BUT NO! Is a cover from the legendary Talk Talk.
I LOVE THIS!
Uriel Zelrag same here!!
Flawless. Great cover. Mark Hollis would've approved.
Brian voice-> heart attack
ExcuseAll TheBlood That's true. Brian's voice is unimpaired through years. It's awesome.
You can say that again!
Two powerful bands,nice cover
Love Brian's voice
Amazing. Потрясающе
Your perfil picture
Placebo did it again. Nice cover it is a fine act of respect to Talk Talk....and the message of the video is deep and powerful.
i was just listening to placebo wondering when the new album's gonna come out
Late 2018 at the earliest. This is from the 'Life's What You Make It' E.P. which has been out for months.
if they work hard. don't forget the 20 years tour is in the middle of the way
Meds they were in Mexico already...
They were in Mexico and they were amazing with the newest songs
Andrea Ballesteros \(^^)/
