The Placebo Project – El Rich & SappySuperUnknown10’s Placebo Playlist

Many weeks ago, SappySuperUnknown10 posted this AMAZING photo:

It was entitled “Sleeping With Ghosts,” which is the name of a song and album by Placebo. If you don’t know the joy that is the angsty, borderline ambiguity that is Brian Molko and friends, it is high time you became acquainted with them.

Sappy’s photos are constantly amazing. They knock me off of my feet and if I weren’t so lazy, I would aspire to take such inspiring, thought provoking photos.

I asked her to embark with me on a photo safari, snapping photos of a sonic Serengeti that were inspired by some of our favorite Placebo songs. In no particular order, they are:

Ask For Answers

Give up this fight, there are no second chances. This time I might. To ask the sea for answers.

Sappy says: This is kind of basic, I know. But I really wanted to do something with another song from this album, cause it’s my favorite by them

The Bitter End

You shower me with lullabies As you’re walking away Reminds me that it’s killing time On this fateful day

This song makes me think about well, The Bitter End. Everything ends. For me, it’s usually very abruptly and ~ * T R A G I C A L L Y * ~

Without You I’m Nothing

I’m unclean, a libertine And every time you vent your spleen, I seem to lose the power of speech, Your slipping slowly from my reach. You grow me like an evergreen, You never see the lonely me at all

Sappy Says: Alright so, I’m mass posting today cause I have this little project going on with El Rich which consists of PLACEBO CONCEPT PICTURES EVERYWHERE IN THIS BITCH. So, yep.

This one’s inspired obviously by WYIN, it’s one of my favorites by them, lyrically at least. It’s very dark and sad and stuffs. Hopefully the picture conveys that.

Mostly, David Bowie approves of this song so you should too.

And since I know you are all watching this in new buzznet which doesn’t have thumbnails or anything like that, here are the links to my other pics 1, 2, 3 plzzzz check them out and stuff

Because I Want You

Stumble into you Is all I ever do My memory’s hazy And I’m afraid to be alone Tear us in two Is all it’s gonna do

I would say more but IM BUSY BEING SO CRYPTIC IT HURTS. This songs makes me remember what it was like to want someone that didn’t want anything to do with you. I like to call that period of my life HIGH SCHOOL.

4 7 2 3 9 8 5 I gotta breathe to stay alive and 1 4 2 9 7 8 Feels like I’m gonna suffocate 14 16 22 This skin that turns to blister blue Shoulders toes and knees I’m 36 degrees

Sappy Says: Also kind of inspired by the video, at least the colors. It was so cold outside, I chose the worst time of the day to shoot in my backyard, really.

Meds

I was alone, Falling free, Trying my best not to forget

This was snapped around the time I got out of the hospital. ALL THESE FUCKING PILLS. This wasn’t even as many as I was taking in the hospital. They are all gone now but still, it’s hard to remember to take them SO THAT I DON’T DIE.

This Picture

Farewell the ashtray girl Forbidden snowflake Beware this troubled world Watch out for earthquakes Goodbye to open sores To broken centre floor We know we miss her We miss her picture

Sappy Says: So this is kind of inspired by the video. But I think i kind of look like I belong in an 8bit video game or something.

Black Eyed

I was never faithful And I was never one to trust Borderlining schizo And guaranteed to cause a fuss I was never loyal Except to my own pleasure zone I’m forever black-eyed A product of a broken home

I tried to give myself a black eye. I can listen to this song on repeat for DAYS because it’s pretty much my life in reverse. I think that because I was the product of a broken home, all the subsequent things Molko sings applied to me. I’m forever Black Eyed..

We hope you enjoyed our photos! Go and visit Sappy’s page and tell her how wonderful and amazing she is. I’ll give you a black eye if you don’t JKJK.

If you want to work with me or even do your own Photo Project, inspired by your favorite music, let me know.
