Pure Morning

"Pure Morning"
Song

Pure Morning was a single by British rock band Placebo, taken from their second album Without You I'm Nothing.

It is also usually considered as their second most played song, shadowed only by "Every You, Every Me". The most recognisable pattern to the song is the repetition of the line A friend in need's a friend indeed at the beginning of each verse. The song has been featured often in British television advertisements.

The video, directed by Nick Gordon, portrays police trying to talk down Brian Molko who is about to jump off a building. Band members make a cameo appearance as rubberneckers. At the climax of the video he crosses his fingers and jumps off the building, but lands on the side half-way down and proceeds to walk down the wall.

This song was also included as track 12 on Big Shiny Tunes 3 and was featured in the independent film, The Chumscrubber.
