Wow, indeed, they do sound a tiny little bit similar. I've never heard this one before.
Thanks for recommending such a nice track, EM

Placebo keeps coming up! Well, kinda. I'm watching the newest season of Stranger Things and there's a scene during which they're playing "Running Up That Hill", but it's not by Placebo. I didn't know that Placebo's version was a cover!

Happy discovery! I did know it was a cover, and there's a bazillion of them. Here's another popular one:

Ah yeah, Running g up that hill is originally by Kate Bush!!

(I kinda prefer the placebo version but that's sort of heresy...)

I just started watching the new season today, and went, "Ohhhh so that's why Tumblr is currently obsessed with that song."

I LOVE the song "Breathe" by Télépopmusik; it's like an angel whispering pure, tangible hope directly into my ear holes.
(I also love "Close" by the same band... plus who doesn't love this album cover?)

Spoiler

Anyway, I recently stumbled across a cover of "Breathe", and I think they did a wonderful job with it.

Have a listen:

Guess I never paid attention to the lyrics as a kid, lol. Love it when oldies suddenly click.

I love it when I forget about The Specials so I can rediscover them.

I've been listening to Rolling Stone's top 500 songs of all time and my thoughts so far have been, "Damn, that's a lot of Bob Dylan." and "lmao I do not at all understand the appeal of Runaway (by Kanye West.)"

I'm on the 40th song I think? Idk, man, I'm tired.

I can't say what it is, but something about the Demon Days group gives me the feels for 2012-2013, not even musically or lyrically. Maybe because they remind me a little of YACHT and some other experimental music I listened to occasionally at the time. Those were a good two years.

Who's obsessed? I'm obsessed.

Lemonade by Wheatus. Yes, that Wheatus. Every now and then I stumble on their album tracks and realise what a shame it was that no one remembers anything but Teenage Dirtbag. BMX bandits off their first album is probably in my top 5 tracks, and this song hasn't left my head in two days.

Up in the morning, up in the evening
Picking up clocks when the birds come back to eat
Oh, to eat
Up on the mountain, down in the king's lair
Pushing these blocks in the heat of the afternoon
Oh, afternoon

We were never welcome here
We were never welcome here at all
No-oh

Oh, it's who we are
Doesn't matter if we've gone too far
Doesn't matter if it's all okay
Doesn't matter if it's not our day
Oh, won't you save us from what we are?
Don't look clear, it's all uphill from here
Oh-oh

Up in the attic, down in the cellar
Lost in the static, coming back for more
Oh, for more
Out with the reason, in with the season
Taking down names in my book of jealousy
Jealousy

We were never welcome here
We were never welcome here at all
No-oh

Oh, it's who we are
Doesn't matter if we've gone too far
Doesn't matter if it's all okay
Doesn't matter if it's not our day

Because it's who we are
Doesn't matter if we've gone too far
Doesn't matter if it's all okay
Doesn't matter if it's not our day
Oh, won't you save us from what we are?
Don't look clear, it's all uphill from here
Oh-oh

They say we're crazy
They say we're crazy
They say we're crazy
