This Search for Meaning

Placebo grew from making music to whoever felt weird and without sense of belonging to a mainstream tedious blob that echoes what the industry demands.

People are completely done with getting lessons from anyone with a mic.

Placebo died years ago. Now they represent nothing.

I'll keep the memories until battle for the sun, Loud Like Love still had a spark but from then on it's Taylor Swift sound and domesticated pet behaviour vomiting the polítics that is obliged so they can há é a plate of soup.

A disgraceful final image of a band that once represented something.

Now old, boring, safe for the fanily and really really with nothing to give.

Respect your past and end the band.

You are now what you loathed.

I had the opportunity to attend the premiere of this documentary in London. It was fabulous, far exceeding my expectations! It was not just because it was about Placebo (which is, obviously, one of my top favourite bands ever) but because everything else: the visuals, the songs choices, the sound, the interviews, the discussion topics, the raw, beautiful honesty and the powerful vulnerability. And because of this surprise: my favourite actor, Benedict Cumberbatch is a Placebo fan. How awesome is this?

The documentary and the whole experience made me love Placebo even more, on a deeper level.

Also, a big shout-out to Oscar Sansom - you rock!!!

I would highly recommend this documentary to any Placebo fan, but given the themes it explores, I'd suggest it to anyone. It will make you reflect on some truly important matters.

It was definitely worth coming from Bucharest for this event!
