"Song to Say Goodbye" opened the campaign for Placebo's fifth album, Meds, in March 2006 everywhere except Britain, where "Because I Want You" got the lead-single slot instead. Steve Hewitt, Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal wrote it together, and it's built on a few piano notes that circle round and round while Molko picks at heroin addiction and the damage it does to everyone caught up in it.
Dimitri Tikovoï produced, Flood mixed and James Brown engineered, and the result went top ten in Finland, Greece, Italy and Spain. The sleeve is a blurred shot of Molko himself, and a live take later surfaced on the Live at La Cigale EP.
