Keri Kidd i think they were percieved as anti-american because of the song 'ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfallapart' when its the all comsuming capitalist system that chews up and spits out the masses they hate. all the best from the u.k.
I've fallen out of love with many bands, but the Manics have always been a constant for me and this song again has made me fall in love with them over again! Awesome!
I am proud as a human being to love this band since I ever began to really appreciate music. I am Swedish but live in France and if now I'm studying the welsh language it's partly thanks to those guys. I've always loved Wales though, my dream is to grow old and die on that proud soil of angels and heroes! Forever Cymru!
Kudos to the Manics for taking chances on each of their albums. As much as I wanted this to be a clone of one of their other albums, they've made a reflective acoustic album that is great for fall time weather. Not a Saturday night album, but rather a Sunday night one.
Impossible not smiling! I don't care if it's only a pop song. It makes me :) and it's a good sensation in these troubled times. So thanks Manics and that's all.
Don't know clearly why, usually I listen to a lot harder music, but this song is so freaking catchy! I can't stop myself from listening over and over and over...!
Hey. Hello from Hong Kong! Heard this on six musik yesterday and absolutely loved it! Have now listened to it at least 30 times! Awesome, A real return to form. Hands up if you saw them at Wolverhampton Civic Hall in 1994?..... \
Great band..I'm sure growing up in South London was not a lot different to growing up in South Wales..great parents & the Library opened my mind to reading
I only just realised that the girl is the same one from the Anthem for a Lost Cause video. So presumably these guys got together and got married, and then it all went to shit, which is just heartbreaking. But on a lighter note, she was clearly a hardcore Manics fan, hence all the glitter
You're right. They aren't angry and more. This is really reflective and nostalgic and I'm sure it's exactly what they wanted. They do what they want and go in any direction they want, but I think this is one step I can't take with them.
Great song and video.cant wait to see them again for twenty umpteenth time at manc ritz in September.then suede a month after that in Leeds.something to welcome winter back haha
Welcome back Boys. Being a huge fan I clicked this with wonder and withing 30 seconds I got the "unique" sound that you produce that will and never has leaved me for the last 16 years (since I've been a fan). Always a special band to me, God, James.... you are in my top 5 singers of all time amongst Freddie, Chris Cornell, Celine.... So glad you're back...and keep coming back. I'll be getting your tour tickets for Glasgow when it comes!!! GBTM
This is no threat Just an invitation A sense of belonging A sense of inspiration Is heaven a place Where nothing ever happens Is it too much to ask To disbelieve in everything Show me the wonder I have seen the birthplace of the universe Show me the wonder I have seen their records move in reverse If you're exiled By all the cruel tongues Then show me the wonder The wonder of your love A tapping pain of madness Running through their veins We may write in English But our truth lays in Wales Show me the wonder I have seen the birthplace of the universe Show me the wonder I have seen their records move in reverse Praying for the silence When we look in to a mirror Stained so patient We measure the nostalgia Is heaven a place Where nothing ever happens Is it too much to ask To disbelieve in everything Show me the wonder I have seen the birthplace of the universe Show me the wonder I have seen their records move in reverse Show me the wonder Show me the wonder I have seen their records move in reverse
Fantastic track. I have driven my husband mad with this. Singing it around the house, humming it while working. Can't wait for the new album, all pre-ordered and counting the days now.
Best WELSH band ever Cymru am byth always . Shared on twitter and many more sites too this is our favourite WELSH band ever as my hubby is from the Rhonda
I remember James and Nicky talking to the guys on Sunday Brunch some years ago about how its time to move on. Working away in their Cardiff Studio this album has been two years in the making. Im really excited about them moving on to some new music rather than being tempted by the old Lyrics left by Ritchie. It will take time for some of the new tracks to strike accord but this is the Manics today and not Yesterday. Looking forward to the album.
bloody hell! only a second ago replied to your post on rewind the film, and here you are again! your last line of your comment says everything about this track though,they are getting more nostalgig i agree but only for this album?only they know.
I am officially obsessed with this song! 3 times yesterday, 4 today. Singing some of the lyrics throughout the day. It is a great song though. Sept 15th can't come soon enough for me, the Manics are my all time favourite band
The manics will always have a place in my record collection.....All bands when they get famous become too commercial and poppy because the ideas run out and once they have a massive fan base most people will buy anything they release, but live the manics are brilliant......
Alot of people clearly don't appreciate what the Manics have achieved in evolving over the years. A fantastic song, the people bagging it clearly don't have the capacity to understand the message which Wire is trying to get across. Oh and James's vocals sound just as great as they ever did!
You couldn't be more wrong. They usually do a pretty even spread, even when promoting an album, and they've still got the energy they had when they started. Saw them at the o2 when they did all their singles and they made even the less good songs sound amazing. Best live band I've seen ;)
Don't worry, this is The album they're releasing to sell in supermarkets. The proper new MSP album is coming out next year and will sell a handful of copies to happy fans.
I met the legend that is Nicky Wire in Oxford Street HMV this morning, let us take photos with me and the girlfriend, totally down to earth if not a little tired from the night before I guess.
Just had a thought if there's ever a movie about the Manics how about John Thompson playing JDB? Wonder who would play the others? I saw Nicky Wire in Tenby once but was too scared to say hello.
This band is so underrated here in a America. Love Manic Street Preachers.

+Kris Charlton They've done a lot of consumption though, haven't they?!
conspicuos consumption, in the best tradition of the who and jimi hendrix.

Spread the word!
I was an extra in this video. Amazing song the guys were also really nice
what minute ??
I believe she is seen at 2:29 . A Beauty, anyway.
what a fucking tune. bradfield said he knocked it up in about ten minutes. he wanted to evoke 70's era elvis. excellent.
agreed, works well with James' fat-Elvis period
I've fallen out of love with many bands, but the Manics have always been a constant for me and this song again has made me fall in love with them over again! Awesome!
Why haven't more people liked this genius?
''We may write in English, but our truth remains in Wales.''
Seriously, what an awesome, awesome fucking band.
+Michael Mitchell what a line pure genius!!
Agreed
MSP a wonder of the world we live in, musically and lirically speaking
So why don't they sing in Welsh?
I am proud as a human being to love this band since I ever began to really appreciate music. I am Swedish but live in France and if now I'm studying the welsh language it's partly thanks to those guys. I've always loved Wales though, my dream is to grow old and die on that proud soil of angels and heroes! Forever Cymru!
Them trumpets again. I love it.
James really knows how to sing... So goood
Had so much fun filming this
Love this song of theirs in 2024.❤

I could loop this for hours and hours and hours.
I m literally listening for this guys for the first time and I already love them. Such a good music.
should have been a huge hit
Love this guy's voice
Oh, reminds me of my old days... Great song and footage... Nostalgic!
Don't know clearly why, usually I listen to a lot harder music, but this song is so freaking catchy! I can't stop myself from listening over and over and over...!
I've read a few reviews and they're very positive.

Er... quite different actually mate. Wales is a great place full of amazing friendly people and...
Beautiful video..Great band. Love them so much ❤

I know what you mean. As a woman trade unionist and a person who likes wearing glitter make up to clubs, it's a really nice visual.
You're right. They aren't angry and more. This is really reflective and nostalgic and I'm sure it's exactly what they wanted.
They do what they want and go in any direction they want, but I think this is one step I can't take with them.
CLASSICMANICS... Manics selalu Bagus!!!
Great song and video.cant wait to see them again for twenty umpteenth time at manc ritz in September.then suede a month after that in Leeds.something to welcome winter back haha
Such a cheery Manics song!
These guys made me incredibly proud to be Welsh.
no sell out james this is the best you have done
Best manics vid since tolerate an grace of God
Richard Hawleys 60s vibe is stamped all over this-no matter what people say this is great Manics
simple and so touchy song
Lovely video of good times, and not a mobile phone in sight!

This is no threat
Just an invitation
A sense of belonging
A sense of inspiration
Is heaven a place
Where nothing ever happens
Is it too much to ask
To disbelieve in everything
Show me the wonder
I have seen the birthplace of the universe
Show me the wonder
I have seen their records move in reverse
If you're exiled
By all the cruel tongues
Then show me the wonder
The wonder of your love
A tapping pain of madness
Running through their veins
We may write in English
But our truth lays in Wales
Show me the wonder
I have seen the birthplace of the universe
Show me the wonder
I have seen their records move in reverse
Praying for the silence
When we look in to a mirror
Stained so patient
We measure the nostalgia
Is heaven a place
Where nothing ever happens
Is it too much to ask
To disbelieve in everything
Show me the wonder
I have seen the birthplace of the universe
Show me the wonder
I have seen their records move in reverse
Show me the wonder
Show me the wonder
I have seen their records move in reverse
Everything they do is brilliant! Love them. :)
amazing. masterpiece.
Love it.Been a Manics fan for years & seen them live more than any other band. A thumbs up from me. Roll on the new album!!!
Fantastic track. I have driven my husband mad with this. Singing it around the house, humming it while working. Can't wait for the new album, all pre-ordered and counting the days now.
Great new manics song and video. Looking forward to new album and cant wait to see them in London in september.
I still love this song, a classic by The manics.
this is really really catchy. I have ALWAYS loved manic street preachers. They will always be my favourites.
Brilliant video...the whole look is fab
Love Manics. This is Manic that meet Dexy's Midnight Runners.
Absolutely brilliant song......
Best WELSH band ever Cymru am byth always . Shared on twitter and many more sites too this is our favourite WELSH band ever as my hubby is from the Rhonda

Bellissimo video, Grande gruppo

Did anyone notice the reference to Talking Heads or is it just me? "Is heaven a place where nothing ever happens?"
Gus Honeywood , very true ! I have grown up with them (now 33 ) and they are just superb !
I am officially obsessed with this song! 3 times yesterday, 4 today. Singing some of the lyrics throughout the day. It is a great song though. Sept 15th can't come soon enough for me, the Manics are my all time favourite band
September cannot come soon enough!
Glitter glitter everywhere x
yes all good points. your right re how singles charts have changed in recent years.
First time I have heard this song, really good
The manics will always have a place in my record collection.....All bands when they get famous become too commercial and poppy because the ideas run out and once they have a massive fan base most people will buy anything they release, but live the manics are brilliant......

"The sound of the valleys"
Fantastic song they keep
bloody love this song
You couldn't be more wrong. They usually do a pretty even spread, even when promoting an album, and they've still got the energy they had when they started.
Saw them at the o2 when they did all their singles and they made even the less good songs sound amazing. Best live band I've seen ;)
Remove the hand soap dispenser in the ladies and it's a perfect 70s set! Lovely piece.
I unconditionally love Sean's beard :D
The Manics have evolved - AWESOME!
Lifeblood!
Beautiful song!
so underrated!
me encantan estos videos con historia para el álbum Rewind the film
Don't worry, this is The album they're releasing to sell in supermarkets. The proper new MSP album is coming out next year and will sell a handful of copies to happy fans.
@JayMacB, I think you've cracked it butt, 'attack the pain of madness' sounds good to me. All the rest does as well
Fabulous..
I met the legend that is Nicky Wire in Oxford Street HMV this morning, let us take photos with me and the girlfriend, totally down to earth if not a little tired from the night before I guess.
Still the most euphoric pop song of 2013...
Lifeblood was different, and if you listen to it now it hasn't dated. Which is good!
Finally!!! Great song!
Love this song and video!
Love this one
a miracle song!
I so want you guys to play my back st snooker hall in Rhyl just like this 😂
love this song
Number 4 that's good enough, another top 5 album for them.
So they've changed their sound, doesn't mean it isn't good. Change is good sometimes, this is good!
travolgente...!!...grazie..manic....grazie,....street..grazie..preachers......!
this is the best video ever
Just had a thought if there's ever a movie about the Manics how about John Thompson playing JDB? Wonder who would play the others? I saw Nicky Wire in Tenby once but was too scared to say hello.
great song.
