"Jesus' Son" is a song by the English alternative rock band Placebo. It was released as a single on 19 August 2016,[1] and was featured in their 2016 EP Life's What You Make It as well as the band's compilation album A Place for Us to Dream later that year.
The single's cover art features Brian Molko's son, Cody, wearing an oxygen mask.
PopMatters called the song "an anthem for living life and doing it without fear".[2]
The single was released on 7" vinyl, with Placebo's cover of Talk Talk's "Life's What You Make It" as a double A-side.[3]
PopMatters gave the single a 5.73/10 grade, with one reviewer writing: "If you're looking for a moment of spiritual comfort in a chaotic year, Placebo's your band."[2]
