About This Track
Hoping to build on the Billboard Hot 100 success of previous single, “Why Do You Love Me”, the album’s title track failed to make an impact in the States; it stalled in the top 30 of the Modern Rock Tracks chart. In early autumn of the same year, remixes of “Bleed Like Me” reached the top 10 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
“Bleed Like Me” was written in 2004 at Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin. Inspired by the movie “Thirteen”, singer Shirley Manson overcame writer’s block and wrote the lyrics to the track; one of the first songs the band wrote after reforming from a temporary three-month split in October 2003.
Name checking a number of her childhood friends; as well as J.T. LeRoy in the lyrics, Shirley recalled, “It’s about a search for empathy. We can forget so easily that people are the same regardless of their sexuality, religion, colour or moral values. Regardless of the differences between people – their colour, creed, sexuality or how they behave and express themselves – essentially we are exactly the same. It’s about how when you are dealing with other people you have to remember that they are all carrying with them their own baggage.” Manson also referenced Gloria Gaynor’s empowerment anthem “I Will Survive” (The first time a Garbage song directly referenced another musical composition).
