Placebo - Sleeping With Ghosts (2003)

Sleeping With Ghosts es el cuarto álbum del grupo inglés Placebo, producido y publicado en el 2003. Es uno de los mejores trabajos que ha publicado Placebo, con canciones como The Bitter End, Protect Me From What I Want o English Summer Rain. Después de publciar este disco en una edición sencilla, lanzaron una edición especial con las versiones que habían grabado en estudio hasta el momento, convirtiéndolo así en uno de los más completos trabajos.

The album has several songs based on a theme of relationships; whether it is relationships that end badly as in "The Bitter End", power struggles in relationships "Special Needs" or the idea that soulmates live forever in the titletrack "Sleeping With Ghosts". Songwriter Brian Molko told Kerrang! magazine that he was trying to exorcise the ghosts of the past. "I'm looking back to what's happened in my past emotional decade, trying to understand it. Trying to exorcise the ghosts and the demons of relationships past. It's the old cliché of it being therapeutic but it does work for me in that way." Brian is also known to have said, "Sleeping with Ghosts... making love to a memory." Another interview has Brian explaining "The album title's about carrying the ghosts of your relationships with you, to the point where sometimes a smell or a situation or an item of clothing they bought brings a person back. For me it's about the relationship that you have with your memories. They inhabit your dreams sometimes. There can be a lot in the future that's gonna remind you of the ghost of relationships past. So I see the album as a collection of short stories about a handful of relationships. Most of them mine. In a way writing the songs helps me to get a lot of the nasty feelings off my chest and put them in a box, and therefore have a bit more of an objective discourse with those emotions because you've done something positive with them, you've rid yourself of them."
