Music Wednesday: Placebo

Hello again, back with another song for Emma's music wednesday. This time it's a song from one of my favourite bands, Placebo. I first heard of them on an old ps1 games years ago, and over time my love for them increased. They're a band well associated with the LGBT community (Brian Molko, the singer and guitarist, is bi and very androgynous, and Stefan, the bassist is gay). I simply adore Placebo, and specifcally Molko, for reasons I'll go into in another blog post. This song, is perhaps their most well known, and is pretty typical of their early stuff musically and lyric wise. Nancy Boy, is a song about an effeminate male, to quote of wikipedia, which explains why it's on this blog. While I don't use such a label to myself, or call myself gay despite everything (I'm not denying who I am, or being ignorant, but I feel my sexuality is more complex than that, and something I don't have the time to explain now), I love this song. I would like to "do my make-up in my room, and douse myself in cheap perfume".

So yeah, enjoy the song, and listen to some more of their music if you can and do not already. I could write an essay on this video, so it's easier just to watch it!
