Imagine singing like that, and playing lead guitar? And being part of most of the greatest songs of the ninetees? When there was a lot of competition? Untouchable❤
Such an underrated song, album, band and lyricist. There’s something of a modern day Vincent Van Gogh in Richey Edwards. Under appreciated in his lifetime and tortured by the unseen demon of depression and alcoholism in a society that didn’t understand it at the time. Both will be remembered by the art they left behind. 💞🌻🌹
I miss this era. And for me, as i regret old times, la tristesse sûr durera. I love the artists, msp, i met James Dean Bradfield, in Scotland many years ago, he is such a nice, gentle person. And talented, gifted. Brilliants. Best wishes from a read head, a french woman. I follow the group since my youth. I am an indie kid. Best wishes from France ❤
@@pj1909 this song has around 700k views. Any old tripe in the charts these days reach hundreds of millions of views. This could be a good indicator that its underrated 🤷♂️
“It parades Milan catwalks”, what a line, an amazing juxtaposition of a generation that laid down their lives in the war just to be forgotten about and their memories used as aesthetic trinkets for the superficial modern society!
A masterclass in music and lyricism, these lad's will oneday be put on the same pedestals as Oscar wilde, dickens, dostoyevsky, Hugo et al! This song far surpasses anything that Bob Dylan has penned since 65!! If Richie has shuffled off this mortal coil we lost an icon of the first degree.. La tristesse durera indeed! Yeah the sadness endures. Love your work manics and I know I speak for a hell of a lot of us.. Peace
Remeber seeing them singleton park in Swansea .amazing live they had bottles and everything thrown at them from Jack's cos they valley band and still played amazing .
Life has been unfaithful And it all promised so so much I am a relic I am just a petrified cry Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir The applause nails down my silence La Tristesse Durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh La Tristesse Durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh I see liberals I am just a fashion accessory People send postcards And they all hope I'm feeling well I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy Where they patronise my misery La Tristesse Durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh La Tristesse Durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh I sold my medal It paid a bill It sells at market stalls Parades Milan catwalks The sadness will never go Will never go away Baby it's here to stay La Tristesse Durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh La Tristesse Durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
Awesome song, awesome solo, awesome album! After hearing it for the 1st time (friend cd), went to buy it right away. For then on, MSP were always one of my fav bands. This one is on my top 3 MSP songs: others are If you tolerate this then your children will be next and Motorcycle emptiness.
@@Dreyno They formed in 1981 in Dunfermline. I definitely saw them in 1986 . Stuart Adamson was born in 58 so had definitely left school by then aswell
Your right but I think this is one of MSP weaker albums.....a lot of second LPs are esp if debut is successful.... The fire, eagerness, spirit can be lacking.... Especially as the label gave them ££££££ and a luxury studio.....MSP are better in a rough studio, deadlines and obstacles..... Not coddled like "Pink floyd" etc...,,
Time for a bit of "Manics" on a Monday. Not heard this track for absolute YEARS. I got a whole lot of Manics on cd quite cheap and I'm working my way through their stuff slowly. Good track.
I love this song so much. People say to me "why? It's so depressing..." No poetry in their bones. Less than 20,000 clicks after all this time? Chronic lack of taste out there...
It's depressing that untalented shite pop industry brats like Billie Eilish gets overrated and wins undeserved plaudits, while genius bands like the Manics go under the radar I love EVERYTHING the MSP release, but I adore La Tristesse Durera, and I love This Is Yesterday. Tbh it's hard to choose, the Manics fucking rock.
I sold my medal It paid a bill It sells at market stalls Parades Milan catwalks Oh, the sadness will never go Will never go away Baby it's here to stay La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh Dont think you can ever forget words like that, can you?
This is really sad but I really used to kill at this in Singstar on the PS3, never failed to get 90+%. Must be because I sing it so much in my ordinary life! Sheer genius
Aye he was too good for em anyway. Nicky likes having nice things. Real socialism and all, we all know blue collar, working class representation is owning several luxury fucking dyson's.
Read an interview from them when this album came out that got them alot of flak from the trendy papers (they really slagged off post crusties) and it always stayed with me. They were such bright contrary boys. While Blur were pouncing about pretending to be working class, the Manics sang and talked about unfashionable things that affected real peoples real lives. An also while Oasis just dig lowest common denominator the Manics weren't afraid to be bright. Great band.
This is one of THE GREATEST tunes ever penned. It cannot be lost in time. It deserves to be preserved in amber for generations to learn and grow from
great comment
100% agreed.... can't believe i only recently discovered these guys
One of the most criminally underrated albums ever.
Imagine singing like that, and playing lead guitar? And being part of most of the greatest songs of the ninetees? When there was a lot of competition? Untouchable❤
Seeing Richey in the older music videos always brings about a stab of bitter sadness 💔
💔
I know, it’s like ‘oh there’s Richey…oh… .’ 🥲 I just want to put my arms around him.
El único que valia algo 🙏🏻
But then seeing Nicky makes me smile again😊
For me it's the lyrics. It's like his ghost is still there, in that powerful poetry.
I worked on this video.
For those who are interested it was filmed in the cemetery in Stoke Newington.
Help XX😂😢😢😢😢😢😢
very apt given the theme of the lyrics. You're awesome btw

He's living in my shed. Has been for years.
@@sabiantheomnivore5592 lOL, get him handed back to us now! 🛖
The title of this song is Van Gogh’s reported last words. It means “this sadness will last forever”
@sabiantheomnivore5592 you got a/c in there? 😂
I genuinely think this is one of the greatest rock/pop songs ever recorded.
No band will ever compete with MSP. This song is a masterpiece lyrically and musically.
my favourite all-time, bitter, relatable, lyric. "I sold my medal, it paid a bill" 3:04
True.
It’s impossible to play this song “too loudly”… Absolutely banging tune!!!
This song is like a planetary alignment, everything comes together perfectly. Beautiful piece of songwriting.
That's so well said, beautiful man,🥰
Best review of a song ever 😄
Well, apart from the pronunciation of “durera” 🙂
I miss this era. And for me, as i regret old times, la tristesse sûr durera. I love the artists, msp, i met James Dean Bradfield, in Scotland many years ago, he is such a nice, gentle person.

They looked so utterly cool during this era
His voice is one of its kind. No one above the amazing James Dean Bradfield!
I've tried singing like him and failed miserably. No idea how he does it!
He equals the great Freddie Mercury imo
Absolute Beginner . hell yes. mercury + jdb both rock legends.
Word.
@@manorbier He was amazing but NO ONE can beat Freddie...
Ah the lonely existence of an American Manics fan.
all the more credit for having that good taste where it is rare
I'm glad I'm not the only one. It sucks to never get a chance to see your favorite band in concert. Maybe I'll take a trip to England someday.
Whyohwhydoineedachannel 😟
A friend of mine in Vancouver loves them!
Your not alone..... you have MSP and everyone else who loves them by your side.... with Richey looking down from heaven with a huge big smile ...
I met JDB back in 1999 in a bar, he was one of the nicest guys, although he still owes me a cigarette.
almostideal I've meet him so down to earth, did you get the JDB hand crush handshake?
Robcatist. Met him at heathrow airport a couple of years ago. Crushing handshake!!
Lol. x
What brand were the cigarettes?
I met JDB in 2002. we talked about shampoo
The lyrics of the Manic Street Preachers are some of the best history lessons you could ask for.
One of the best guitar solos ever....
Archives of Pain is better.
!!!
The Stairways are kicking.
Yep it's an amazing solo
the best
easily the best Manic track ever, good to see Richie at his best RIP
That guitar riff is fucking awesome. Great song. RIP Richey Edwards.
We do t know if he's dead or not
@@melissawright1979 probability is that he is
Technically, we don't know - but one thing that is for sure... is that you are a man :(
The way he pronounces 'here' in the last line is the most Welsh thing ever recorded.
Warren Bridge Hyurr ;)
More than Max Boyce?
I'm Welsh and "here", "year" and "ear" are pretty much interchangeable in Wales.

If your reading this you also know this is the best band there will ever be !
Underrated song and album.
Would u be Irish ? cause I am
Underated word again on a music clip???? Yes because you are the only one that really gets it and feel the need to educate the rest of us pffffff 🙄
@@pj1909 this song has around 700k views. Any old tripe in the charts these days reach hundreds of millions of views. This could be a good indicator that its underrated 🤷♂️
I,m looking forward to seeing the Manics and Suede live !
“It parades Milan catwalks”, what a line, an amazing juxtaposition of a generation that laid down their lives in the war just to be forgotten about and their memories used as aesthetic trinkets for the superficial modern society!
This was Richey's best lyric pre Holy Bible. Full of humanity.
I think this may have been Nicky Wire’s
@@GramscifreedomI think it was 50/50 according to JDB
His voice... seriously, such power!
Classic song. As always The Manics tackle big subjects with comparative ease. Huge respect from a scouser with some Welsh blood in him.
definitely one of the greatest Manics songs. Real working class boys through and through
it can't be listened just once. At least several times in a row.
AHH the glory days when bands had something worth saying..fine band, great memories, happy days!
A masterclass in music and lyricism, these lad's will oneday be put on the same pedestals as Oscar wilde, dickens, dostoyevsky, Hugo et al!

One of the greatest guitar-solos in rock!!!
Amen, brother!
Remeber seeing them singleton park in Swansea .amazing live they had bottles and everything thrown at them from Jack's cos they valley band and still played amazing .
So.. rest of England doesn't like Welsh, small valley town people.. why? Enlighten the dumb American, genuinely.
27 years today since Richie disappeared. Never forgotten x
Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much
I am a relic
I am just a petrified cry
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
The applause nails down my silence
La Tristesse Durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
La Tristesse Durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
I see liberals
I am just a fashion accessory
People send postcards
And they all hope I'm feeling well
I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy
Where they patronise my misery
La Tristesse Durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
La Tristesse Durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
I sold my medal
It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades Milan catwalks
The sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby it's here to stay
La Tristesse Durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
La Tristesse Durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
Cheers mate u just made my night LOVE + RESPECT FROM SCOTLAND
@@garycowie8648 I can't decide if begins - Life has been eventful or unfaithful...
@@redthorn1670 definitely unfaithful, it works better with the lyric as well
The whole "I sold my medal..." section gets me every time, impossible not to scream along. Love it.
Whenever he sings that line, 'I see liberals', I get that other reference 'I see dead people' in my mind...
Awesome song, awesome solo, awesome album!
After hearing it for the 1st time (friend cd), went to buy it right away.

wait till you hear there b sides. love that u love the manics
Absolutely incredible. Gets better with every listen even all these years later. Immense
James Dean Bradfield is amazing!
Had the pleasure of seeing these at Birmingham Odeon in 1986. ( think it was 86 ). Absolutely blew me away . Just brilliant
They only formed in 1986 and they were still in school. Not saying it didn’t happen but possibly a bit later than 1986.
@@Dreyno They formed in 1981 in Dunfermline. I definitely saw them in 1986 . Stuart Adamson was born in 58 so had definitely left school by then aswell

This song is masterpiece
Time for a bit of "Manics" on a Monday. Not heard this track for absolute YEARS. I got a whole lot of Manics on cd quite cheap and I'm working my way through their stuff slowly. Good track.
I had no idea this was 1993- wow... nearly 30 years old now...great song! One of my favourite MSP songs for sure
My #1 favourite song. Ever. 27 years of listening to it. Thanks Manics. Love you lots.
Was raised listening to the Manics from such a young age.. Proud to be a young 20 year old with such good taste in music haha ;D Amazing band.
Another masterpiece, i put the manics up there with The Clash 👈👏👊🏻👏
Still my favorite Manics song, out of the catalogue of incredible songs...
Vastly underrated single.
I saw them loads. Coming back to this song. The lyrics are so intelligent. A great band
One of the more underrated alt rock bands. Much love from Finland
Must have felt good to capture that scorching guitar solo! Goosebumps a go go.
I love this song so much. People say to me "why? It's so depressing..." No poetry in their bones. Less than 20,000 clicks after all this time? Chronic lack of taste out there...
okitwas5seconds some people just dont no great music when they hear it
Do people say it's depressing? I think it's fucking hilarious.
It's depressing that untalented shite pop industry brats like Billie Eilish gets overrated and wins undeserved plaudits, while genius bands like the Manics go under the radar
I love EVERYTHING the MSP release, but I adore La Tristesse Durera, and I love This Is Yesterday. Tbh it's hard to choose, the Manics fucking rock.
It's a classic of many from the manics bud
The number of the bands that would murder for this bass line.
This track is 31 years old this year! Just so you know.
Voice superb, Band superb still fresh now
this is my favourite manics lyric. such a great point made.
So good album ✨️❤️❤️🔥
love the solo in this, master of the melody jdb
They really are one of the greatest bands to have ever existed......Bring on The Holy Bible....
One of the best albums ever created, I'll always go back to it, 28 years of pure eargasm ✌
I sold my medal
It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades Milan catwalks
Oh, the sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby it's here to stay
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
Dont think you can ever forget words like that, can you?
"The sadness will last forever" - The last spoken words of Vincent Van Gogh before he died after having shot himself.
Remember Armistice Day. Respect your elders and soldiers who died and fought for your freedom
So true
Their battles are never over. There's no such thing as an uninjured soldier.
I'm on holiday in Miami and I got really sun burnt on the second day this song sums up that experience
The most under rated and uncelebrated bands of all time
2:10 that solo is amazing
such a great track great lyrics great great band
Injustice how this vid only has 17k views. Long live the manics
Just love this album "Gold Against the Soul". MSP fan Forever
2:10 Still one of my favourite guitar solos. Wicked song.
One of the best sad-yet-upbeat songs ever IMO
Well if intellectual Welsh 90s alt rock is your thing then I'm pleased to announce that you've come to the right place.
Never heard this song till now, and it's amazing. =) I love James and Richey.
JDB. Maybe greatest guitarist ever.
Brings back memories of summer '93. Broke off with my first love. The album was the soundtrack to my heartbreak.
What a tune.
Sound track of my youth.cheers guys.
This is really sad but I really used to kill at this in Singstar on the PS3, never failed to get 90+%. Must be because I sing it so much in my ordinary life! Sheer genius
Was the song that got me into the manics, not same musically without Richie Edwards may he be at peace
Aye he was too good for em anyway. Nicky likes having nice things. Real socialism and all, we all know blue collar, working class representation is owning several luxury fucking dyson's.
This would be in my top 10 manics songs of all time. Probably top 3 status !
The fact that these guys never broke it big in US is just unreal.
Bad timing.
America couldn't handle the Manics!😂
Brilliant, simply brilliant. 👏
All that band went through and still go on to make great music
your the best richey
Timeless tune!
Sean's mum got me it! best band ever.
Pure quality from a great band!
I can't remember if it was 92 or 94 at Glastonbury, amazing 🍻
The best thing the Manics have ever done love it
Gold against the soul
I'm old enough to remember when pop songs were actually about something.
It hurts all over.
Possibly their greatest track.👌
Manics were my first ever gig. Newcastle uni, Holy Bible Tour, supported by Sleeper and Dub War. Incredible.
Gold Against the Soul is such a great album 💛
Holy fcuk I loved this song back then! Still gives me goosebumps in 2024!
Still rocking out 2020 ......xx
