If you haven't heard it yet, Placebo's version I think is almost as good as Kate's. I know that's a strong opinion but it reminds me of Hurt from NIN vs Johnny Cash. Both very good takes of the same song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5GuBa4Bbnw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5GuBa4Bbnw

- Severian 4y agoI was going to suggest this. I heard this cover before the original, somehow. I prefer this version honestly.
- AdamJacobMuller 4y agoThe Meg Meyers and Placebo versions are more "committed" than the the Kate Bush version. Kate Bush was recording a song, which may or may not turn out to be great. Meyers and Molko were recording a hit song, they already knew the power the song had and they lean into it far more than Kate Bush could. That said, I prefer the Placebo cover over the Meg Meyers one. The Chromatics, who I generally like otherwise, cover is not their finest work. I prefer the sounds of the Kate Bush original for sure, a re-recording of it would be my ultimate. Draw it out. Higher highs, lower lows, don't be afraid to give us some space to feel the weight of what we're experiencing.
- scoot 4y agoNot sold on the musical performance, but I love the creative concept for the music video.

- aerique 4y agoWow, thanks for that. Placebo's "Without You I'm Nothing" is one of my favorite albums although I've never checked out any of his other work, heh.
