Can't understand why this isn't widely considered as a classic, know it's not completely unpopular either but I think it's probably one of the greatest rock songs of 90's if not of all time. It's definitive of an overlooked tune.
I feel the same , i totally agree . I always loved the music of MSP , from the very first time , back in 1993 , with this wonderful one and the whole album too , of course .
It's not all about Richey you know? If you think it's an "absolutely beautiful song" then that's thanks to JDB not Richey. For without JDB, Richey and Nicky's words would very likely never seen the light of day or ended up as some obscure poetry hidden in dusty books of a local library.
@MarcoNegrisEye exactly! And this song wasn't just richey. Nicky wrote the song too. Its a common misconception for people who are uneducated about the manics that richey wrote all the songs before he disappeared. Pisses me off that Nicky doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
@@manic_street_starlover if the roles were reversed and Nicky was the missing person it would likely be him to get the acclaim. Richey was immense to the Manics and we all miss him but there definitely is a myth that EVERYTHING about the early Manics revolved around Richey.
@MarcoNegrisEye yes exactly, like in the proper early manics time, Richey was only a roadie (ik that they were called Betty blue when they had flicker but still) and richey wasn't even featured on suicide alley, including the lyrics. That was all nicky, yet you'd still get some idiot who thinks richey wrote it.
What a classic. That bizarre but darkly knowing ‘childhood glimpse…’ line breaks the fourth wall of art and then it whooshes into that soaring, melancholic chorus. Beautiful cognitive dissonance.
My idea of love comes from A childhood glimpse at pornography, Though there is no true love Just a finely tuned jealousy Amazing lyrics. Thank you Richey x x
When I first heard those lyrics, many many years ago, I thought to myself 'That's word perfect, that's true to life and growing up.' I had felt those feelings but without words. To hear the Manics describe feelings I had experienced and would have probably forgotten had they not delivered them with such a poetic punch was so amazing. A bit like the "There's nothing nice in my head, the adult world took it all away" line from 'From Despair To Where'. So damn accurate.
Is there any info about the first singer of that band ? The guy dissapered from the world for years , i think he disapeared couse he wanted but i haven know nothing from that case since years
youre thinking of the rhythm guitarist Richey Edwards most likely jumping from a bridge. he was not the first singer, the singer has always been james dean bradfield. Richey was a bookworm and i believe he died a dostoyevskyesque death.
He wasn't the leadsinger, he was the lyricist and ''chief propagandist'' (he controlled the image of the band). He was given the title of rhythm guitarists because he went on stage wearing one, but it's rumored that he didn't play a note.
While I am particularly verbose compared to the average human and can convey my feelings with relative ease I simply can Not relate, in words, how much I love this song. The range of textures and tumultuous emotions make me feel vulnerable, then empowered, then Open, then exhausted every time. It's like having bipolar and breaking up with yourself. It's a necessary agony.
@@fastfrankblack I mean didn't Richey write on a shirt something like "marijuana can save world capitalism" & I think I recall reading that he smoked weed occasionally (was mentioned around his hospital stay)
@@southerner4566 true, but I think there was a void that can never be truly replaced . I’d have loved to see how they had of developed with richey after holy bible
@@conorsmith8551 The truth of the matter is they wouldn’t of done, in an artistic cul-de-suc after the Holy Bible the only way to go was more commercial as they were in the last chance saloon with their record company because of poor sales despite rave reviews of The Holy Bible and Richey wanted to do an even more extreme album as a follow up.I think this is one of the many factors behind his disappearance.
James was severely under appreciated as a rock vocalist.
*is. msp is still going
was ?
And as a guitarist!
Not by me he's not, I think he's great
You’ve just praised him! 🌟
Sunday here, feeling sad. This song brings me some kind of happines that I can' understand. Sad happines makes sense to anyone here?
Can't understand why this isn't widely considered as a classic, know it's not completely unpopular either but I think it's probably one of the greatest rock songs of 90's if not of all time.

The album isn't the best but this and Roses are utter MSP classics!
Richey Edwards, oh my days! 😍😍
Still Miss You Richey Edwards ❤️
Same here 💖
Manics forever. I miss 90s alternative rock so damn much :-)
I feel the same , i totally agree . I always loved the music of MSP , from the very first time , back in 1993 , with this wonderful one and the whole album too , of course .
Yeah this was a great time for music
I hope it comes back again. Music now is dreadful in comparison.
I don't because I learned all you need to do is press play and listen to it ......
This song saved my life
Absolutely beautiful song. Richie was a genius ❤

richey...beautiful inside AND out.
Desire on its knees...when I watch & listen to this 💔❤ Richey Edwards you beauty 💔❤
29 years today ❤️
Still remains in my Manics Top 5, so powerful.
Such a great band, Manics are the best!! 🖤🖤
One of my absolute favs
No band will EVER beat them ! Perfect
Happy birthday Richey ❤
Long Life Life !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
I can't think of any singer male or female who has a range like James Dean Bradfield. Certainly none that can play lead guitar like him.
Only singer who comes close is Prince I think
Stuart Adamson
Mike Patton
"Slowly walking down the hall" 😂😂😂
Comparing Richies lyrics to Noels.
One of them is a tortured poet, the other is Richey.
0:16 0:42 1:36 1:44 2:03 3:09 3:50 Richey 😢❤💔
Banda maravilhosa sempre!
My idea of love comes from
A childhood glimpse at pornography,
Though there is no true love
Just a finely tuned jealousy
Amazing lyrics. Thank you Richey x x

Masterpiece. 😌
Otra vez geniales , hoy no es un buen día pero su vídeo y vuestra música sin duda , lo mejor de hoy .
One of my all time favorite
GRANDE.... THE BEST...
Mor ve Ötesi'nin 1999'da yaptığı bir Number1 TV programında bu şarkıyı önermiştiler.Böyle keşfettim,şimdi yıllar sonra tekrar burdayım :)
adamsin
Minha mais nova banda preferida.
OMG Nicky here is like all of my dreams and desires in one 🙈😍
James Dean!
Japanese adore the Manics.
Ay los amooooo un buen 💖 espero que ya me dejen ver La Tristessa Durera
Melodic Street Preachers... Too melodic to preach...
Deus, salve os Manic´s

bassist nicky wire did sing on a few tracks but not until after richey disappeared
@@xgum i think he disappeared. too much evidence to contradict the suicide thing.
He wasn't the leadsinger, he was the lyricist and ''chief propagandist'' (he controlled the image of the band). He was given the title of rhythm guitarists because he went on stage wearing one, but it's rumored that he didn't play a note.
Thanks for the info guys

2:24 lol Nicky was so stoned
I am fucking certain he wouldn’t touch weed. That drug - and everything about it - is pretty much the antithesis of everything they stood for
@@fastfrankblack I mean didn't Richey write on a shirt something like "marijuana can save world capitalism" & I think I recall reading that he smoked weed occasionally (was mentioned around his hospital stay)
When they lost Richey,they lost their soul.
They've made some of their best albums since he left.
@@southerner4566 true, but I think there was a void that can never be truly replaced . I’d have loved to see how they had of developed with richey after holy bible
@@southerner4566 no. When Richey left they should have disbanded. He was their heart and soul that could never be replaced.

Erm no. But they definitely made a good choice in going in a different musical direction. 1986 until early 1995 will always be the Richey Years
