Sleeping with Ghosts

About Sleeping with Ghosts

"Sleeping with Ghosts" is the title cut from Placebo's fourth album, Sleeping with Ghosts. The song is a depiction of how, "Soulmates never die", or in more simple terms, how true friendships/relationships never end, linking it with the album's concept of relationships. The song's composition is softer compared to the other songs of the album, it features lighter, slower guitar and more piano than other titles. The chorus line, "Soulmates never die", was used as the title for the live DVD, Soulmates Never Die (Live in Paris 2003). The song was re-recorded as a B-side for the single "This Picture" and called simply "Soulmates". "Soulmates" is a slightly heavier attempt than the album version and is often played live. There is a piano version of the song on the bonus disc of the Battle for the Sun redux version. When played live, Brian Molko often changes the lyrics from "damn the government, damn their killing, damn their lies" to "fuck the government, fuck their killing, fuck their lies" to add emphasis to his anger towards said parties. more »

The sea's evaporating
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written
But we can't read between the line

Hush
It's okay
Dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soul mate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soul mate dry your eye
Cause soul mates never die

This one world vision
Turns us in to compromise
What good's religion
When it's each other we despise
Damn the government
Damn the killing
Damn the lies

Hush
It's okay
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soul mate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soul mate dry your eyes
Cause soul mates never die

Soul mates never die, never die
Soul mates never die, never die

Soulmates never die [Repeats]

Placebo

Placebo are an English alternative rock band from London. They were formed in 1994 by singer-guitarist Brian Molko and guitarist/bassist Stefan Olsdal. The band was soon joined by drummer Robert Schultzberg, who was later replaced by Steve Hewitt after conflicts with Molko. Hewitt left the band in October 2007 and was replaced by Steve Forrest in 2008. Placebo are known for their androgynous image and angst-fueled musical content. To date, they have released six studio albums, all of which have reached the top 20 in the UK, and have sold over ten million records worldwide. more »
