Sleeping with Ghosts

"Sleeping with Ghosts" is the title cut from Placebo's fourth album, Sleeping with Ghosts. The song is a depiction of how, "Soulmates never die", or in more simple terms, how true friendships/relationships never end, linking it with the album's concept of relationships. The song's composition is softer compared to the other songs of the album, it features lighter, slower guitar and more piano than other titles. The chorus line, "Soulmates never die", was used as the title for the live DVD, Soulmates Never Die . The song was re-recorded as a B-side for the single "This Picture" and called simply "Soulmates". "Soulmates" is a slightly heavier attempt than the album version and is often played live. There is a piano version of the song on the bonus disc of the Battle for the Sun redux version.
