Love the emotion in Brian's voice, sounds like it's trembling from anger. Whether it's about self-loathing or directed towards another person, it works both ways
Both versions have something good about them. The original shows how dead inside the narrator is. How his self loathing has really weighed in on him. This cover sounds a bit more angry and violent, and the passion really shows. I really don't prefer one to the other.
Brian? You have no idea how you help me every time with your music.. With the borderline personality disorder and big depression problems you help me so often.. and so much... Every time my heart bleeds and I think I'm alone.. I listen to your music and dont feel so alone with being alone anymore.. Your voice makes me let everything out.. it isn't gone.. but it's out.. and I think that's absolutely beautiful.. Thank you. ♡
I didn't listen Archive, and i didn't know this is a cover.What is the difference of the meaning ? I can't imagine that the meaning from this version,is about himself .No way , you can hate yourself that much ! I will always feel that's about someone( anyone) else !
Brian Molko is great at giving a song character - by the second verse and chorus this has turned so menacing that you totally believe he will slit your throat in a dark alley.
Molko is genius. Man, love your truth, sincerity, revolutionary mind, talent, creativity, dares to say what you think. No disguise and lies! You know it better than anybody else! Adore your music and you as a special person. Brilliant song! ♥️🔥
I prefer the version of Placebo, so much !!! The song is good, by Brian that becomes divine. He sings with more rage. Also the music is more agressive and rock than by Archive. I love this song, I can listen to it all the day. It is enough that Brian puts his voice on a song to make it single. Nobody can replace his voice ! Placebo always makes a success of its covers. I love them. Thanks for this such pretty song and pics =) (P.S. : exuse my bad english, I'm French !!!) Longue life to Placebo
In my opinion it's about self-hate too If depression is speaking... at first you think it might be normal/okay (you're like everyone else but then it grews like the devil himself) you're thoughts make you sick
Archive wrote this song in dedication to George W. Bush .. so no self-hate but pure loath to what we thought was a terrible president (and person) .. before Mr. Trump came and showed us, how wrong we were ;)
He is actually Bisexual. I don't think it changes the meaning of the lyrics, but it did make me thing the song might have been addressed to a bigot (or at least it was making me think of one I'm having problems with at the moment) and the venom in Molko's voice may have been reached by him thinking about prejudice he's faced.I think Trumps election changes the meaning!
amazing pictures in the gallery for this vid. Brian was the icon of my youth and these photos are beautifully compiled, brought back many tender feelings, thank you.
I love Placebo and thank them for covering this song. I have to deal with someone constantly and Brian has beautifully conveyed the seething feelings I feel each time I see this person with his gritty and haunting voice. Great job as always, Brian...you said it for me when I couldn't find the right words to say.
brian's voice is like wine... after passing of time...and after and after... getting deeper and deeper.. and becomes even more sweet :) great song....what a great song.....damn...i'm so touched....:' ) thanks for sharing so~~ much :)
Didn't know Placebo covered Archive, and actually one of the latter's best songs. Like the original more, but that's because Archive are amongst my favorite bands, even above Placebo. But Placebo are very close behind, it's cool they covered this
I have to thank Placebo for doing this cover cuz I would have never found about how fucking awesome Archive is. Everyone should go listen to the original.
Damn it...no matter how much I wish it would and how good it is, looking at all these Brian pics and listening to his sweet voice is not helping me get my geography essay done!
Omg this brilliant tune is really speaking from my heart ❤️, and how I’m feeling about people in my life , who have hurt me ..... and broke me loooove it thank you 🙏
It's funny how many people don't understand the actual meaning of this song. He asks why the fuck are you looking at me. He is singing into his mirror. It's about self hatred
Perper657 It's not about humans, breaking up and all that shit. research the original song, this version sound much better, but research the original song to see what it's all about.
Perper657 Dude. The actual song is from The Archive. The singer from that band got inspired to write the lyrics when passing by a poster of George W. Bush.
I know that the actual song is from The Archive. The thing is, it maybe got inspired by George W. Bush, but that doesn't mean that it can't be about selfhate at the same time. I think everyone got his own way of interpretation. I just think that using this masterpiece of music as a hate song for your ex is not right :P Taylor swift is better for that
Sigh ! this video is awesome not only have I Just found this cover on my searching to complete my B-sides these are such amazing Moloko pictures ♥ he has so much presence. Placebo have the ability to make things even better than the originals which are great to begin with :)
thx, it shouldn't had been just pushed into actually now but for this it has been shifted to be live forever being displaced for all generations to rethink
"When you look at yourself, do you see what I see - If you do, why the fuck are you looking at me" The guy is looking at himself in the mirror, and hating himself so much he has to separate himself from his reflection. It's a very abstract and beautiful song.
Archive wrote this song in dedication to George W. Bush .. so no self-hate but pure loath to what we thought was a terrible president (and person) .. before Mr. Trump came and showed us, how wrong we were ;)
+Phill McKraken This song is about self-hatred "When you look at yourself do you see what I see // If you do why the fuck are you looking at me?" He is singing to his reflection in the mirror
+Marie Mußmann Thanks for over analyzing and replying to a post that is over a year old that was made in a satirical fashion. You have effectively wasted 20 seconds of both of our lives. Congratulations.
This is deep for a song named "Fuck You" Also, I like both versions - the original by Archive and this cover. This one is a bit more emotional while the original is more...dark.
Love the emotion in Brian's voice, sounds like it's trembling from anger. Whether it's about self-loathing or directed towards another person, it works both ways
🤬 Why tf would Brian HATE himself 😳
Great song😂
Both versions have something good about them.
The original shows how dead inside the narrator is. How his self loathing has really weighed in on him.
This cover sounds a bit more angry and violent, and the passion really shows.
I really don't prefer one to the other.
Placebo is an amazing band...and when doing covers they trully know how to make the song their own...this is amazing.
I didn't know this was a cover. I just thought it was badass in a different Placebo way.
@@RosaliaMartinezRM totally agree!
Original is dedicated to George W Bush. Its not about the narrator himeself.
I agree Edward
I love that Brian's voice seems to tremble with haterd. It gives the song the right emotion. Great.
Brian? You have no idea how you help me every time with your music..
With the borderline personality disorder and big depression problems you help me so often.. and so much...
Every time my heart bleeds and I think I'm alone.. I listen to your music and dont feel so alone with being alone anymore..
Your voice makes me let everything out.. it isn't gone.. but it's out.. and I think that's absolutely beautiful..
Thank you. ♡

Is it incredible that as Brian Molko covers this Archive song the meaning completely changes.
I didn't listen Archive, and i didn't know this is a cover.What is the difference of the meaning ? I can't imagine that the meaning from this version,is about himself .No way , you can hate yourself that much ! I will always feel that's about someone( anyone) else !
@@mihaelanegritu1709 "you can't hate yourself that much!"
lol wanna bet
everysong, everything is better with molkos voice
Yes 😍
Sameee
Unfortunately not .. archive rock so much more .. although I usually I love Placebo, I still think they didn't nail this song
@@tAfkaA23 this cover gives so much more life into the song but thats just my opinion
amen
When you're eating an ice cream but someone bumps into you and it falls to the floor....
And u still eat it ☺️🙄🤪🙀
@@debbiedire66 cause ur from the streets yeeaah. And so is the ice cream
😅😅😅
Been up all night listening to placebo...takes me back to so many life experiences.
a decent cover of an extraordinary song by the phenomenal band ARCHIVE
When you look at yourself, do you see what I see?
If you do, why the fuck are you looking at me?
Wow, came here after 6 years and still no change, guess I will just die hating myself :)
@@polciaczek1499hey bro how you doing now?
This emotion in Brian's voice is absolutely amazing. Gives me shivers every time.
3:40 Brian and Chester 💕
When i'm angry against someone, i listen this song all the time.
Chester and Brian in the same pic. just amazing.
@stepp uP Absolutely 😔
Brian Molko is great at giving a song character - by the second verse and chorus this has turned so menacing that you totally believe he will slit your throat in a dark alley.
Think we can all relate to these lyrics. Evreryone has a person this song reminds us of. F'kin love Placebo and Brian. So good.
Molko is genius. Man, love your truth, sincerity, revolutionary mind, talent, creativity, dares to say what you think. No disguise and lies! You know it better than anybody else! Adore your music and you as a special person. Brilliant song! ♥️🔥
it's a cover though. Of a great, great band, Archive
Bruuh, Brian is just so adorable and protectable and he sings this. My feelings are just so mixed
Thank you Archive ! For giving us this perfect song and Molko does it justice but still I prefer Archives version especially live one
Can't get this song outta my head its been replayed and replayed all day
the orginal from archive is even better!!
This version really sounds like he's singing to another human being, so I understand confusion.
god he's hott
I prefer the version of Placebo, so much !!! The song is good, by Brian that becomes divine. He sings with more rage. Also the music is more agressive and rock than by Archive.

Thanks for this such pretty song and pics =)
(P.S. : exuse my bad english, I'm French !!!)
Longue life to Placebo
In my opinion it's about self-hate too
If depression is speaking... at first you think it might be normal/okay (you're like everyone else but then it grews like the devil himself) you're thoughts make you sick
Archive wrote this song in dedication to George W. Bush .. so no self-hate but pure loath to what we thought was a terrible president (and person) .. before Mr. Trump came and showed us, how wrong we were ;)
Absolutely stunning young gentleman Beautiful eyes and the voice of an Angel and a demon
the singing is way better than the original, he just sounds like he actually cares about it
original is decent too
Does his homosexuality not completely change the meaning of the song?
"i could sneak up beside put a gun in your mouth" only that line xD
He is actually Bisexual. I don't think it changes the meaning of the lyrics, but it did make me thing the song might have been addressed to a bigot (or at least it was making me think of one I'm having problems with at the moment) and the venom in Molko's voice may have been reached by him thinking about prejudice he's faced.I think Trumps election changes the meaning!
I am hooked by the music, his voice gets me high and the lyrics make me love it all !
I love Archive very much but must admit that this version is much better (for me ). Placebo - band of my life !
I still love you...
Thanks to this cover I discovered Archive 2 years ago
Their music is amazing.
Can't wait to see Placebo ❤️
i think i just discovered my new favourite song ! what a fucking good and strong lyrics !!!!!!
I lOVED this concert, omg!!! They were awesome!!!

Its a self-hatred song, but it works both ways.
it's not his song though XD
I hope everyone whos life got ruined by evil dark schemes are finding peace in this song.
mental breakdown in a song
When you HATE someone this song really helps you xD
100% accurate!
It's helping me brother
Specialis When that persona is you
I subscribe a 100% , on your idea.Plus , that i could never hate me .No way in hell !
I hate myself dude
brian's voice is like wine... after passing of time...and after and after... getting deeper and deeper.. and becomes even more sweet :)
great song....what a great song.....damn...i'm so touched....:' )

I love Placebo, but couldn't agree more ;) Archive is really a great and unusual band.

I know the original song and I prefer this one... and I never said that it's about breaking up.
Perper657 Sorry but its about Georg W. Bush, you can take your hated girlfriend as well.
Dont share your selfhate.

What did the "U" letter ever do to deserve this ?
I love U
LMAO
I was abused aged 7 and this song says all I would like to say to my abuser.
i hope you are okay
Thanks Placebo for making this cover. I discovered Archive and I love them. :)
this is amazing. i listened to archive's version and i think placebo's is more dynamic and addictive. i love it.
Sigh ! this video is awesome not only have I Just found this cover on my searching to complete my B-sides these are such amazing Moloko pictures ♥ he has so much presence. Placebo have the ability to make things even better than the originals which are great to begin with :)
why is this not on spotify anymore ffs
Such a romantic tune.
This song helped me to get out for a desesperate situation
Now I can really feel the meaning of this song...
Sending to my ex
Only just found this song today. I can't stop listening to it ❤
Thanks for putting this up on UA-cam and for the montage of images, nice job :)
Comment section is full of hate, for once not directed at the music.
Brians voice sound really deep on this track, but i like it, nice slideshow of pics as well.
good to know that good old Placebo is still there deep inside.......
SUCH A TUNE! one my personal faves.
Awesome, just awesome... brilliant song and brilliant pictures
TY for this! I love this song...It fits so many ppl i know...
Wie oft denkt man sich das:))))mega das lied
SPREAD THE WORD AND LET ‘EM KNOW THEY AIN’T READY
Perfect song for most of times of my life.
Another nice cover from Placebo.
The Dorian Gray of this Age.
Ahhh such an intense cover! Love Placebo for covering it!
thx, it shouldn't had been just pushed into actually now but for this it has been shifted to be live forever being displaced for all generations to rethink
Thx for introducing me to Archive and the fact that different voicing makes this Song totally chamge
"When you look at yourself, do you see what I see - If you do, why the fuck are you looking at me" The guy is looking at himself in the mirror, and hating himself so much he has to separate himself from his reflection. It's a very abstract and beautiful song.
thank you placebo i really needed to hear this tonight!
3:46 - 3:50
Mars Volta T-shirt!
Not only is he a good musician, but he has impeccable taste in music. =)
My theme for today!! :)
I'm in love with this song
Fantastic.Amazing song and video.Placebo is top performers
Brian is so ............ perfect
this is so fucking beautiful! crappy and wonderful... i fell in luv with the song
o.O omg, i didn't know this song...but its soooo beautiful ♥ i love it!
Fantastic song to sing in the workplace (secretly) :D
Bello como siempre. Brian ❤️
Moment when you realize, that track Is about yourself : )))
Archive wrote this song in dedication to George W. Bush .. so no self-hate but pure loath to what we thought was a terrible president (and person) .. before Mr. Trump came and showed us, how wrong we were ;)
oh my god i love this song from archive and now and from placebo its awesome i feel terrible anger coming out from me
I take it he met my ex....
+Phill McKraken This song is about self-hatred "When you look at yourself do you see what I see // If you do why the fuck are you looking at me?" He is singing to his reflection in the mirror
+Marie Mußmann Thanks for over analyzing and replying to a post that is over a year old that was made in a satirical fashion. You have effectively wasted 20 seconds of both of our lives. Congratulations.
Ha! 😂😂😂
@@Marie-hj5di it doesn't means that this song can't be dedicated to someone else.... What's wrong in saying to an ex.... Fuck you anyway 😂🤘
@@crisrodrigues2525 lol this is 4 years old my dudes. There's nothing wrong with saying that to an ex. You do you
If placebo start making songs that ARENT about self-hatred, then ill be out of a form of therapy. Forever love, Forever Placebo.
I heard this is a cover.. Does anyone know who the original artists are?
Placebo rocks my socks off.
Well this saved me writing paper and a stamp !
battle for the sun is a great album!!!
Like every album of the band.
not even close to archive's version but it's the best thing they realised by this album,maybe because it is a cover of a awesome song
This is deep for a song named "Fuck You"
Also, I like both versions - the original by Archive and this cover. This one is a bit more emotional while the original is more...dark.
Love it. Raw emotion and intelligent
@donm454 It's Archive's cover.
is Archive's version original? this is a cover, right?
+MrsArshenick Yep, I highly suggest you to check archive's albums (starting by "You all look the same", and then "Controlling crowds" ! :)
thanks, we'll see :)
Loved the Archive version my momumental icons perform it it's amazing XD
I’M HERE TO STAY ❤️🔥… PREPARE THE WAY
Semplicemente un genio
even better than the original. there's more hate in Brian's voice which perfectly fits this song.
looooove this cover....btw great vid!!!!!!!
admirable photos
Шикарно
one of the best song of a Placebo,I think : )
