Nicely done! I am an old man (36) and I loved this song when it came out in 1985. Its great to see a lot of bands spinning out old tunes I grew up with. The only thing that pisses me off is when you get some "young folks" who say did you hear that new song from.... little do they know it was written by sew and sew back in the 80's when alternative or "art rock" really started. One fine example is "tainted love" from soft cell and now people to this day still think marylin manson wrote it or the fact that they rip off Skinny Puppy for their stage show...I'm ranting now.. None the less I am going to check out more form this band. yep i love it! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/24/08 This song is one of my favourites along with the rest of placebo and other bands. this song makes you truely understand what might happen, it gets you think troubled thourghts, all the same i love it and its beautiful. good work Brian! Ace!!! | Reviewer: Kerrie | 1/15/08 Placebo rock ! i was really happy when i found they had done a cover for this song.it just sounds really calm but sad , either way it rocks!!! listen to it now!!!! One more favorite song in my list ... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/5/08 Actually I am thankful to O.C. for choosing this song for one of their serials,otherwise I doubt it I'd listen to it right now.The O.C. itself is one of my favorite serials,and the song...the song is just as good as the serial :) I am glad I found it. Addictive | Reviewer: Hannah | 12/29/07 Omg!! I am completely addicted to this song. I seriously can't get enought of it. It's 1:49am and I'm sitting here listening to it for the umpteenth time. I don't really like Placebo but this song is beautiful and so diferent. I really love the way Kate Bush talked about the meaning behind it. Personally I think the cover by Placebo is a better fit the way the music is but whatever. Fabulous!! Oh My God *.* | Reviewer: Push-me | 12/9/07 this music makes me shiver every time i listen to it!! i loooove it... brian's voice...singing this song is the greatest thing ever... kwjhdjahbdkd ... i just don't know how i feel about it... i love it so deeply :D how sad a song can get?! | Reviewer: nazli | 11/26/07 i love placebo, and i used to love this song, thus am overwhelmed to hear this cover. magnificient! i can't get enough of listening to it :) so tastefully sad, as always..thank you brian! song is a cover! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/30/07 the song is a cover...originally by KATE BUSH. she actually explains what the song is about: ( got this from wiki) The song itself has often been misinterpreted. Kate Bush herself has said, "I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each others roles, if we could actually be in each others place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would be lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, 'well, no, why not a deal with God!' You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. You see, for me it is still called "Deal With God", that was it's title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it wouldn't be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn't play it, France wouldn't play it, and Australia wouldn't play it! Ireland wouldn't play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had 'God' in the title." GOOD AND PERTURBING SONG | Reviewer: Susana | 10/28/07 I can't help feeling sad and worried every time I listen to this song. And I have a new perspective since I listen to it in CSI's 8 season. It sounds like a farewell... a painful farewell. good and perturbing song | Reviewer: Susana | 10/28/07 I can't help feeling sad and worried every time I listen to this song.
