Official Music Video for Bleed Like Me performed by Garbage Follow Artist: Facebook: / garbageofficial Instagram: / garbage TikTok: / garbage X: / garbage #Garbage #BleedLikeMe
One of the few artists or bands brave and talented enough to write about self-harm, as well as eating disorders, alcoholism, mental disorders, and more. This band and Shirley have done so much and I'm so grateful. To everyone else who was part of this too. It's not easy when there's such stigma, especially in the past when it was worse.
@@Hero_Of_Old This song was realeased on 2005 and at that time it was a stigma. Everyone in that time refused to talk about everything Shirley sing in this music, things like self-harm, alcoholism, mental disorders, etc., and threatened the people that suffer with this things like they're weird or monsters, which made them suffer even more and most of them lost their life because of it. You know nothing, kid.
Interesting. I find some of the lyrics quite dated. I figured, it's 1980s material, so that can be forgiven, but a re-release now, as is, seems a little problematic.
Victims of self-violence and outsiders on the fringes of mainstream society needs a uniting voice like this to set them free, imploring all to "try to comprehend what you'd never". There are many great artists out there with corny lyrics, but Shirley is both poet and philosopher.
For sure, I'm in a major "crisis", the 3rd of my life, BPD which I usually manage pretty well having a good mindfullness but when I'm close to getting outta control, all I need is hearing her voice, playing the band songs all day long, especialy "I Think I'm paranoïd", as if the lyrics were written by myself, or for me.
Totalmente de acuerdo. Garbage es una verdadera exquisitez. Maravillosa música y magníficas letras. Allende el tiempo. Totally agree. Garbage is a true delicacy. Wonderful music and magnificent lyrics. Beyond time.
I find it more universal than that. For me, the lyric "come on baby do you bleed like me?" recalls the merchant of venice- "if you prick me, do I not bleed?" This is a call for every human to recognize ourselves in each other- we ALL bleed like me. She paints pictures of specific people and pain, and I'm glad for people who feel particularly seen in those pictures. I hope some people have felt profoundly helped by this song. Just wanted to put in my two cents for why this song touched me as a non-fringe person.
I've had an eating disorder for 16 years and I'm finally getting help for the first time. At a really healthy mental place for the first time. This song hits deep. I felt like it was speaking directly to me when it came out. So surreal to reflect now.
Reminds me of those story-like Lou Reed songs like "Walk on the Wild Side" and especially "Chelsea Girls." Garbage KNOWS rock history and pays homage to the greats.
Look-maybe you shouldn’t be in the mental health business if you’re a crackpot yourself. Sorry, I don’t know you, but I think I know enough, from my experience from abuse on the part of some very horrible nurses and doctors, including my parents, they need to screen shrinks and mental health workers a bit more carefully…. A lot of you are complete monsters! You know, I took a lot of shit from women and men just because 😼 I’m cool…It’ll never be forgiven. You are in a position of power, much like the police 👮♀️ who you work very closely with, and it-the power you think is yours, is all too often abused. Don’t look to me for sympathy 💐. Too many of you, doctors, nurses, my family, little Snitch girls 👧 crossed me way too much to ever forgive any of you- and you all seemed to get a lot of pleasure out of it too. For your sake, I hope you’re different.
wallstreetfox3 It's not my favorite Garbage album, but it is good. It remains me of the good parts of Beautiful Garbage. Very moody and atmospheric. Almost like a movie soundtrack. I would say that the best tracks on the album are "Empty", "Night Drive Loneliness", and "We never tell". "Sometimes" has grown a lot on me too.
"Avalanche is sullen and too thin... she's sullen and too thin... she starves herself to rid herself of sin, and the kick gets so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin"... my story... you'd think I'd learn after it put me in heart failure last year, but I never do...
When I was a teen and Garbage came out, I liked them...now that I have had a chance to experience the ups and downs of life, they have become a band I've fallen in love with. One of the most brilliant and artistic set of humans to grace the airwaves.
that moment when you're about to finally cut again for the first time in 3 years, and you want to talk about it but the only other cutter you know is in middle school so you can't... so you just listen to this song on repeat. cause it's been way too long.
My wife struggles with cutting. She says it gets better. Easier to curb. Communication really helps. I hope you find good help. I hope you over come it.
What a stroke of luck I'm the 777th like lol. I love this band. I feel Shirley is often overlooked as a great songwriter. I've always thought this song meant people who judge others yet we are all human and bleed the same. Love this band and song.
"this song meant people who judge others yet we are all human and bleed the same" That is an excellent take. I would not have thought to look at it that way. My thanks to you.
This video is so hypnotic - the combination of amazing singing, intricate guitar work and backing vocals, and the multi-level story - It's like a movie in 4 minutes!
I love that you can tell a Garbage song from any of its parts - Shirley’s voice of course, but Steve’s bass or keyboard, Duke’s jangly guitar (before it hits like hurricane), or even Butch’s drumming patterns. Nothing happens by chance on a Garbage track.
Agreed. Very cool touch all the band members were doctors. Not too happy with doctors…much like 👍 nurses, I wish them luck 🍀 getting off my shortlist, cos it probably never will happen… 🤞
One of their best songs, videos, and albums. I didn’t appreciate it NEAR enough in 2005 because I was hoping for Version 3.0, lol. Now I’m kicking myself. Everything about this era was iconic.
YCKFides the most I can say is the most that anyone else can say. I can relate. But no one knows who you are. 100% know who you are that is impossible my friend. no one can possibly know what any other human being is thinking exactly, to the tea, to every single point! that is scientifically impossible. Therefore you are who you say you are. fate does not exist. The future is Unwritten. You are your own name. you will know who exactly you are, for you willed it so. once you find support and stop struggling. Then you can become
Shirley has always been a big crush of mine. Always thought she is the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Can't believe this song is already 10 years old. She' still got it!
A very dark and strong message. People who struggle with depression need help and never be ignored. I was depressed for a long time and feeling alone is extremely painful. I've been depressed for almost 21 years because my sister who was older than me and protected me changed into someone I don't know. I miss her terribly everyday feeling like she is dead.
This video is absolutely stunning in its layered harmony; snappy percussion; precise bass lines and lyrical content. Garbage is a PHENOMENAL band, and I'm amazed that this tune does not have a higher play count. Each vignette in the story of characters with (Avalanche's eating disorder; Chris's gender-identity; Doodle's borderline personality; Sweetie's narcissism/hystrionic?; J.T.'s alcoholism) speaks to life's pain and struggles, but with such an amazing delivery of musical perfection. "Just try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend. GARBAGE!!! You ROCK! My own play count is at 153 and rising. On it's way to being my favorite tune of all time.
***** I've yet to see a border that wasn't hopped, nor a line that wasn't crossed. In these days of geo-political boundaries etc etc what's in a word but an invitation to a party?
A band with Butch Vig, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and the one and only Shirley Manson is guaranteed to bring that out. Their production is stellar and this song is a shining example.
And this is my favorite song to caress my scars to. This is even more meaningful today at my 30's than back when I was a closeted teen and played this album on repeat.
You should see my scars. Thank you for making this song. It helps thinking others deal with the same problems... problems that others can't comprehend. On a lighter note, she looks great in a nurse outfit.
I just noticed that as she's going through her file, the ink blot looks like the raven's silhouette through the window. Such a little detail makes me wonder how much went into writing the whole file.
The comments are several years old, so here's a new one - Shirley Manson is the sexiest, classiest singer of all time and the whole band is/was DYNAMITE. By the way, I'm almost 78 and I've heard a lot of good bands in my time. Garbage is my all time favourite.
This is a top favorite for me. I have more scars than you could ever know. Try to comprehend, n bleed like me. I used to bleed to paint and they were all stolen. Very dark artwork. Somewhere it's on someone's wall. Glad they enjoy!
One thing about not watching television is that you end up seeing the video to a song you hve heard a few thosudand times 18 years later :) Better late than never.
With all these lyrics about psychoses, thank GOODNESS Vevo censored the naughty word. I'm not sure I would have been able to sleep at night if I had heard it.
Gomez Toth Not psychoses. That has a specific meaning. But I get what you are saying. They all have trauma, and are broken in some way. I don't think that the people who posted the video (looks like it is Vevo related) quite got the target audience, and the fact that more F words come out of our mouths on an average day than one would expect a single person could say. :P

There is literally no stigma. Its all anyone ever talks about.

@@Hero_Of_Old 💯
"After 2 drinks he's a loser, after 3 drinks he's a star" I always thought that line was brilliant.
Funny but true
the irony is that this song talked me out of so many stages of self harm and I’m so grateful
This aged like gold.
Pftth. Gold wishes it could age as well.

She is just...beyond words. Incendiary and artiste' are 2 words that come to mind though. :)

Shirley is so beautiful❤
Her face during the therapy scenes is amazing. There is just something about her face beyond just that she's beautiful.
still such an amazing song and such an amazing face god damn it shirley manson i love you.
Shoe0nHead Seeing your comment on here was so unexpected. Love your content!
holy fucq! shoe!
Shoe0nHead omg you are everywhere
I thought you hate feminists. (btw just joking)
Word.
Shirley has a stunning voice
Such an amazing and powerful song. Shirley Manson's performance is incredible. The fact that this wasn't #1 shows that popular doesn't equal good.
I've had an eating disorder for 16 years and I'm finally getting help for the first time. At a really healthy mental place for the first time. This song hits deep. I felt like it was speaking directly to me when it came out. So surreal to reflect now.
Same here- I've been dealing since I was 9 and I'm 40 now. Wishing you well! You got this-
Yep and HYPERADD. DISORDER
I love you. Please embrace recovery from this condition. You are worth it. You deserve a life of joy.
I'm happy you found help for your problem people deserve to live a happy bright life
Garbage's best song, in my opinion.
Tbh I like supervixen, it's really good
#1 crush is my favorite song from Garbage
@@larrydyer2495 Second that one!
@@runningjunky781Eric what do you think about Garbage As heaven is wide
@@larrydyer2495 It's menacing, but at the same time it's not overtly trying to get your attention. Walking a very fine line, that song.
she's always been my role model, a beautiful,talented and strong minded woman. she'll always be awesome.
Reminds me of those story-like Lou Reed songs like "Walk on the Wild Side" and especially "Chelsea Girls." Garbage KNOWS rock history and pays homage to the greats.
As a mental health nurse with my own mental health issues at times, this will always be one of my all time favorite videos/songs.

Can be hard to leave it at work at times
One of my favorite songs from Garbage. Still very relevant/relatable today. ❤
FYI, Garbage has a new album coming out on June 10th. Strange Little Birds. Spread the word.
+Juan Nunez (Faded Endless)
ok
the word!
Wooo they're music is very impressive
I feel like I should listen to the whole discography before hearing the new album
They had a couple samples on iTunes. I didn't like the songs. Was the rest of the album O.K. I'm kind of busy studying real estate?
wallstreetfox3 It's not my favorite Garbage album, but it is good. It remains me of the good parts of Beautiful Garbage. Very moody and atmospheric. Almost like a movie soundtrack. I would say that the best tracks on the album are "Empty", "Night Drive Loneliness", and "We never tell". "Sometimes" has grown a lot on me too.
+wallstreetfox3 ows what is it that you like 😷
This song breaks my heart.
After two drinks he's a loser after three drinks he's a star
+Yasmin Khan ..yup, why ya think the world is over populated??!! XD
Getting all nostalgic has he seems like I Will Survive
I mean sings I Will Survive
After a case hes in the tank again...
"Avalanche is sullen and too thin... she's sullen and too thin... she starves herself to rid herself of sin, and the kick gets so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin"... my story... you'd think I'd learn after it put me in heart failure last year, but I never do...
I hope you're still fighting and doing better now 💖
When I was a teen and Garbage came out, I liked them...now that I have had a chance to experience the ups and downs of life, they have become a band I've fallen in love with. One of the most brilliant and artistic set of humans to grace the airwaves.
This song has helped me through so much, and I thank Garbage everyday for writing it.
that moment when you're about to finally cut again for the first time in 3 years, and you want to talk about it but the only other cutter you know is in middle school so you can't... so you just listen to this song on repeat. cause it's been way too long.
You can email me. I'll talk to you. Tashwoodford@gmail.com anytime!
Jennifer I'm with you in spiritual energy. I believe in you
My wife struggles with cutting. She says it gets better. Easier to curb. Communication really helps. I hope you find good help. I hope you over come it.

That is an excellent take.
I would not have thought to look at it that way.
My thanks to you.
Damn, this hits just too close to home…
Still an outstanding song by a great band.
Great band amazing vocals by Shirley
Finally this video is available again! 😍
I’ve been Doodle and Avalanche, 10 years later I still love Garbage ❤️
I relate to doodle the most.
I've been avalanche ,doodle, speedy, and jt. Song is still one of the best.
This is still my favorite album. It make me want to get in the car get a pack of cigarettes and just drive
Same ❤️
@Elena M COOL, I just found them. 💯🤘
Easily the most underrated music video
Their new album is really good.

Agreed. Very cool touch all the band members were doctors. Not too happy with doctors…much like 👍 nurses, I wish them luck 🍀 getting off my shortlist, cos it probably never will happen… 🤞
It is a testament to their perseverance that they made it through that time of troubles they had making this album.
*cries in sadness and happiness* This is such a beautiful, raw song. Amazing.
One of their best songs, videos, and albums. I didn’t appreciate it NEAR enough in 2005 because I was hoping for Version 3.0, lol. Now I’m kicking myself. Everything about this era was iconic.

The way she said "kick," sends shivers up my spine.
I can't stress this enough, awesome a when a band includes everyone in the video.
"It's better off than trying to take a bullet from a gun..."
Happy 10 years to the album "Bleed Like Me'

What makes you think Doodle has a personality disorder? You realize self harm is significantly more common than that, right?
@@ilovedyoubananakin Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s self harm
And not everyone in therapy for suicidal thoughts is narcissistic. Like what
A band with Butch Vig, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and the one and only Shirley Manson is guaranteed to bring that out. Their production is stellar and this song is a shining example.
And this is my favorite song to caress my scars to. This is even more meaningful today at my 30's than back when I was a closeted teen and played this album on repeat.
Shirley and the boys never disappoint.
Amazing
she's stunning
showing someone your scars is one of the most vulnerable things ever, it always sucks when people react badly to them
You should see my scars. Thank you for making this song. It helps thinking others deal with the same problems... problems that others can't comprehend. On a lighter note, she looks great in a nurse outfit.
I want to help so many people because no one should suffer in silence. Every one should get a chance to be who they are.
We need more promotion and people should always bleed like us.
I just noticed that as she's going through her file, the ink blot looks like the raven's silhouette through the window. Such a little detail makes me wonder how much went into writing the whole file.
her beauty is stunning
Garbage is superduper underrated. Still better than most mainstream junk.
She looks good in this. Some nice shots within the video.
3:07
This song kinda reminds me of Lou reed's walk on the wild side
Yup! Was just thinking.
I believe I will Always Love this Song!!🎶💿🎵🎤🎸🎶
An amazing woman who fascinates with just one voice and look!
Going to see this band at Summerfest this year was a most excellent and rewarding decision.
It’s always a shock to find your one of the inmates, not a jailer! That’s some hot kinky red headed stuff!
Bleed Like Me, Special and Paranoid are my favorite songs by Garbage.
Ширли мэнсон - какая красотка, а поет как!!
This is probably my favorite Garbage song.
I long ago gave up trying to figure out my all-time-fave; there were just too many.
I finally decided it was, "Whatever's playing now."
therapy is sweeties brand new drug, dancing with the devil's past is never too much fun
I really love this song and the melody too. I use it for relaxing me or falling asleep too.
I love this group still

I admire her so much oh my god
I can't stop looking at her... And that voice... Love Garbage 4ever
Have watched this vid soo many times.. now I get it - She is the pacient all along.
At 1:55 if you pause it you can see the name Shirley Manson. LOL, I just noticed the shout-out to Sophie Muller myself!
Yes
this song will remain my favorite song all of my life
This came out 12 years ago. Why did I miss it till now?
Hope you listened to the whole album. It’s amazing.
Pure beauty, love this song.
This is a top favorite for me. I have more scars than you could ever know. Try to comprehend, n bleed like me. I used to bleed to paint and they were all stolen. Very dark artwork. Somewhere it's on someone's wall. Glad they enjoy!
Oh wow that is impressive artwork
One of my fav garbage songs EVER. So many emotions
Absolutely flawless
such an underated album
I can't get enough of this awesome song and brilliant video!
magical song, I am re-discovering the band 20 years later
Hi I recommend a song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
Song of the day
AMAZING song. So glad I had the chance to see Garbage live at The Greek last month!
i've been all the people she sings about..
Dating myself, but I was J.T. from 2000 to about 2011
So am I , specially Doodle and Jt xx
I'm all but Chris. If the lyric has been "he's trying to find out if he LIKES girls or he LIKES boys," it would have been me.
That's why we love her....
Yevrah Hipstar xc
I rem when I first hear this song and now I’m still blown away by their stuff ❤❤
One of my favourite vids of all times!
+Ariel Winns lol ariel great picture
thnx! earthling
One thing about not watching television is that you end up seeing the video to a song you hve heard a few thosudand times 18 years later :) Better late than never.
Way to Go Shirley!! Been waiting for another wonderful masterpiece..
She's incredible
Middle school memories, when this played on fuse TV
Awesome. First time I heard this album i was like aww garbage lost it. 8 years later I revisited it and was like wow this is their best album yet
What a song! What a video! What a band!
I love this.
This song speaks to me I love it
Love this song
The names of the characters/mental illnesses in this song are so symbolic. Love it.
So awesome, I just can't stop...
Nothing like a blood pact to sanctify a relationship. 🤘🏻
Shirley makes one hot nurse! 🔥 😁
Haunting lyrics, brilliantly performed.
Such a lovely voice
I remember seeing this video on the channel fuse back when I was 9 and I was literally an adult on the inside lol
