Here via the Michael Sheen/Good Omens fandom, and did not disappoint on that level, but oh goodness also I need to listen to more Manics again. So good. x
TBF Anna Friel has always been good too, the whole vid is a bit incongruous, the band 'acting' in the background, Sean and Nicky you can see being officials in an anal chess tourney.
Basically, when you know their music, you just sit back and go "Yes, The Manics being The Manics" always awesome. Technically stunning, lyrically brilliant and always handed to you as a gift. A sort of "Sit back a listen to this" but they have no arrogance or ego. Theyre just happy people like what they do.
The quintessential Manics song. It has everything that's great about them. The brilliant melodies, the beautiful string sections, the great guitar solo, the big chorus, the bittersweet feel.
I love the song but the video itself is fantastic. It looks like it was done in a single take (Or maybe it's the magic of editing). Narrative-wise it's pretty solid as well.
One of the most underrated bands of all times. Simply perfect in both music and lyrics. I love them since "The Holy Bible" and miss terribly Edwards but the band began something very different after his missing... something beautiful in its own way. Stay up and please, please make another album, we wait your music since Futurology!
Y hace dies años? Yo donde estaba metida sin conocer este video... Me gusta mucho la canción pero amo a Michael Sheen esa cara de preocupación, estrés y frustración 💖💖💖💖
The essential Manics song I think. Poppy, has a big chorus, a very smooth guitar solo, melodic but at the same time has a certain confident swagger and aggressive sounding drums, and, of course, obscure lyrics. Best song they've done in years.
… To feel forgiveness, you gotta forgive Do you see the stars or the darkness begin? You fight your war, I fight for my life You pay your dues, and I'll pay mine … It's not war, just the end of love Just like before, but it's never enough Oh, it's never enough … You fight your war, I fight for my life You pay your dues, and I will pay mine To feel forgiveness, you gotta forgive It's lost on me, I believe in revenge … It's not war, just the end of love You've got the looks, but I've got the scars It's not war, just the end of love … To feel some tenderness, do you have to give up? Do you have to give up? Oh, do you have to give up? … It's not war, just the end of love, just the end of Just like before but it's never enough It's not war, just the end of love You weathered the storm, but sheltered the loss But sheltered the loss, but sheltered the loss
How did this song and the album NOT get number 1? A few years back this would have been thought of in the mainstream as contender for album of the year easily, especially compared to a lot of the stuff out these days
Creo que es uno de los mejores vídeos que he visto, las metáforas, los tiempos, las secuencias es todo magnífico. Un punto alto es cuando James dice "i have the scares" único.
@@felicitytoad How did you manage to post the Welsh flag emoji? In Britain if you post the English, Welsh or Scottish flag online, it just appears as a black flag.
Surely he says scars? It certainly sounds like and goes with the lyrics far more logically. I have seen this also on google lyrics but other lyric sites say scars.
does those music promotors has any idea to bring this lovely band to our beloved Nusantara mate ? i love this band since Sekolah Dasar bro, during their Stay Beautiful days
@@OneRandomLeo my interpretation ‘You Weathered the storm’, -you survived a difficult situation ‘But sheltered the loss’ - the impact of the loss has a terrible effect on you’ Best I can make out.
I came here because of my Good Omens obsession, but this song is awesome!
This videoclip is my Roman Empire, any time... and Mr Sheen is my Emperor hahahaha
You have my admiration for the music and my eternal gratitude for giving us Michael Sheen making out on a table

Good on you Meredith, keep listening;-)

Same jdndjdn
Good omens brought me here 🙋❤
Same here
Manics, Michael Sheen, Anna Friel - what a combination!
why I see this video... 10% music.. 90% Michael Sheen
For me it's 60% music, 40% Anna Friel.
Me too ❤️
Hi. Good omens fandom here. Asking that MSP re-release this song with DT as the opposition. ❤❤❤
Great song, chess and Michael Sheen! Perfect combination!😍😍😍

What a song. It's a hidden gem. Manics should be big as Muse. Everything they do is superb.
Michael Sheen and this song...sounds like perfection
🏴🤥🤨
oh my
michael sheen so hot
A masterpiece song by a superb band.
😶
Michael Sheen - great !
I love the song but the video itself is fantastic. It looks like it was done in a single take (Or maybe it's the magic of editing). Narrative-wise it's pretty solid as well.
+Juan Valencia I think they did several takes (lucky for Michael Sheen I'm sure), but used one single take in the final edit.
☹
I love this song. The melody it's so joyful!
Kisses from Italy :)
The strings give the chorus an epic feel
"To feel forgiveness, you gotta forgive / It's lost on me, I believe in revenge." Outstanding lyrics.
I'M NOT OK!! 🎉❤
class.....another killer manics single
My fav music ever 💕& Michael Sheen so hot 🔥💓
I absolutely love this song.
The little Welsh flag. Oh Michael.
classy pop rock ballad - loving all the strings - it's epic..
such an under-rated band, yet soo so so good!
Anna Friel, you lucky moo! Oh Michael, slam me on a table, baby! Ooooosssh! X
i will ;)

Underrated? They are worshipped in Wales along with rugby and Tom Jones.
EXACTLY, Stefano, EXACTLY, wise right words :)
Wait a minute Michael Sheen is here ❤️❤️❤️😯😯😯😯
Nicky, we all love u xx
My chess games never end like that :(
Pawn movie

😂😂😂

1st day of 2021 and listening to Manic Street Preachers! What else?!
the 10th manics album is all fantastic. but this song is much more fantastic!

Best song they've done in years.
Excellent song . James is a superb guitarist
That hilariously miserable stare at the camera at 1:55 will always be my favourite part of this video.
Ha! Well pointed out :)
True Welsh Talents, and they're still around!
This is just too good to describe, brilliant
… To feel forgiveness, you gotta forgive
Do you see the stars or the darkness begin?
You fight your war, I fight for my life
You pay your dues, and I'll pay mine
… It's not war, just the end of love
Just like before, but it's never enough
Oh, it's never enough
… You fight your war, I fight for my life
You pay your dues, and I will pay mine
To feel forgiveness, you gotta forgive
It's lost on me, I believe in revenge
… It's not war, just the end of love
You've got the looks, but I've got the scars
It's not war, just the end of love
… To feel some tenderness, do you have to give up?
Do you have to give up?
Oh, do you have to give up?
… It's not war, just the end of love, just the end of
Just like before but it's never enough
It's not war, just the end of love
You weathered the storm, but sheltered the loss
But sheltered the loss, but sheltered the loss
it's a great album, great song structure and stories/lyrics

You're right Haydn, unfortunately the mainstream are obsessed with Kanye, Bieber and Miley, fortunately for us we know where the real deal is at ;-)
Totally agree its a brilliant album
like you all said great song and album
I'm not a video fan.....but this always makes me happy.
Great track, backed up with a good video.... a rare combination.

Absolutely great. Powerful
love will never end!!!
Never give up
The Queen's Gambit!
What a tune! My new fave song
James casually lip-syncing 'but I've got the stars' at 1:37, probably the sexiest thing I've ever witnessed.
Surely he says scars? It certainly sounds like and goes with the lyrics far more logically.
I have seen this also on google lyrics but other lyric sites say scars.
He says "I've got disgust".
James is always sexy and he doesn't even tries. Oh the envy
amazing kiss!
The best music ! 🇧🇷✌🏼😎, 17 / 11 / 21.
Melodic rock 80's come back!
This is great in every way.
I just turned 13yo when this came out. Great memories
Not the Manics usual but I love it
I'm just here for the dilf
Comment 👸❤

palmer3977 It sure is :)
Yep....... Lucky Sheen!

Some people believe in God, I believe in Music. Some people pray, I tlisten to manic street preachers :)
I do agree with you

Fantastico
I wish I was that girl omg
this is pretty good
I love it
'you weathered the storm but sheltered the loss', isnt that the story of life itself.
English isn't my native language and I can't really make sense of what that sentence means. Can someone give me their interpretation of it?
@@OneRandomLeo my interpretation
‘You Weathered the storm’, -you survived a difficult situation
‘But sheltered the loss’ - the impact of the loss has a terrible effect on you’
Best I can make out.
