I spent years looking for this song, a crazy search because i knew neither the title of the son nor the name of the group but i was sure it was essential for me to find it. One of the best songs I've ever hard. Finally I had to ask in a chat: does anybody know a song who says something like this: "in the beginning, when we were winning..." "and the singers are in flames"? at last finally somebody told me: "look for manic street preachers", and here I am, finally listening to this beauty at least once a week.
@@rhezapramaditya2161 on the contrary, mi present age is 51. What happens to me is that I don't know much about music in the 90s. I listen mostly to music in the 80s and back, except a real good son, like this one.
It's almost the end of 2022 and I know for a fact even in 2023 I will be listening to this song and band. The most underrated band in history I must say
These are some of THE best chord changes i've ever heard in any song, any era. The way that the major/ minor chords keep on cascading over each other sounds like one big chorus throughout the whole song. It's too bad that thought is the enemy of popular music.....because the Manics are one hell of a thoughtful band.
If songs like this couldn't plant the seed and mechanise change nothing will.. Tremendous band, philosophy, poetry and weaved together with incredible sound. Excellent.
When the train collision took place in Greece, this song came to my mind. Now, watching the video once again, I remembered why... no excuses, no genuine smiles anymore. Thank you MSP for this gem, a remedy for the soul... to the everlasting.
Love this band since I discovered as a child and know I'm a grown man amazing how the time and the years passing through so fast like water my father and my grandfather used to say and both of them were more than right.... the only thing that stays the same it's definitely good music and the memories that follows it....!!!!!
This song is so much emotional that it can't be explained how really emotional it is, because you can't find the words to tell This track deserved more luck and attention, and the band too. The final part with that crescendo is something I never found in any other song (maybe just in Music by John Miles): that final part is something like the most beautiful dream you don't want to wake up from. I guess the Manics knew they were creating something out of the average, even if Nicky said, during an interview to NME, that "The Everlasting was just a giant mistake, in our career". He said that in 2001, just three years after the track was released. I've been listening to this song for 18 years and I never got bored. And I keep on listening. It's something I can't do without.
If you say something 'true' u would do better to be ready to back it and believe in it, because people will pester u euphemistically _'to the ends of the earth'_ if need be and it's a matter of what u value the most.
The gap that grows between our lives The gap our parents never had Stop those thoughts control your mind Replace the things that you despise Oh you're old I hear you say It doesn't mean that I don't care I don't believe in it anymore Pathetic acts for a worthless cause In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine But now unforgiven the everlasting Everlasting The world is full of refugees They're just like you and just like me But as people we have a choice To end the void with all its force So don't forget or don't pretend It's all the same now in the end It was set in a different life Destroys my days and haunts my nights? In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine But now unforgiving the everlasting Everlasting In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine Now unforgiving, the everlasting Everlasting But now unforgiving, the everlasting Everlasting
remember when i was a 15 year old kid and this was first released and still coming back to listen all these years later. it still sounds great now. the best songs are timeless.
I remember also buying the album , but then stupidly lent it to a friend and never saw it again 🙄 brings back so many memories, I had just finished my last year at school and was preparing to go to uni- good times !
How could they be underrated? They were huge from 1994 up until 2000. They deliberately sabotaged themselves after this and are still pretty big arena band considering they're all well into their 40s/50s
Such a hauntingly beautiful song,heard it on the radio a few days ago and now i play it on repeat,the music is amazing and the lyrics and James has one of the most beautiful voices i've ever heard
Maybe because I relate myself so much towards this song already since it was released 20 years ago, I have always had the feeling that this song is about our disconnection from each other. Relationships now-a-days have become so full of difficulties and as soon as there are problems, we let go in our endless sigh of easiness in everything, leaving those who really know what love is standing alone and on fire of everlasting desire to belong … together ...
That guitar solo is harsh in sound, but doesn't take centre stage, as most solo's tend to do. It's there to drive home the climax of the song, that fantastic chorus. I understand that chorus more each day than I ever did back in the day. 🙌
Man, I love the heights hit in the first few words of this beautiful song so much! The emotion contained brings a tear to these jaded, world weary eyes. What an incredible voice and such a phenomenally talented band. Legends.
I remember when this song was released to the world.. God, I was blown away. I love this badly. This is how I got to know the Manic Street Preachers. Odd name for a band, but what a music and lyrics...one of the best bands ever.. this song express all the beautiful side of humanity ❤️, if we will get passed over the bulshit and the evil of men kind.
Αn, undeserved, moderate success in 1998. A masterpiece, in my opinion. I prefer the 6 minutes version, though. The instrumental part there is pure magic.
timeless, i say this with every song like this, it shoots straight through the auditory system and into the soul, that feeling of feeling the song with a higher power
There isn't a band around that makes me' think' the way these guys do... their intellect is beautiful and as I guessed people wouldn't understand them properly but I did and still do ... a very compassionate bunch of blokes they see the world the way it needs to be seen - glad my three kids trust me enough to like this for what it is ... poignant
Well I remember seeing them filming this video at Euston Station, had just bought the album on cassette.. Tried to sneak into the cafe where they were filming.. I remember saying something like James asked us to come in... Needless to say I was refused entry... Don't hold it against them.. Awesome band, quality music makes your heart ache.

Same here, but I didn't knew anything, except "we were winning". Once heard on the radio while driving a car.
Well, you both are really very bad at searching.
I bet your age is below 30. This song was very popular back in 90s when i was in high school.

@@germanllanes641 understood sir. 😀😀
The melody of the verse is one of the most beautiful compositions in the history of pop and rock music.
Or the chorus.
It isn't, but you obviously couldn't restrain from sharing your hyperbolic enthusiasm.
@@jimnewcombe7584twat response that
Let's not forget the guitar solo😌
I most definitely concur, my friend 🎉
It's almost the end of 2022 and I know for a fact even in 2023 I will be listening to this song and band. The most underrated band in history I must say
Ja Best band ever If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next
This is one of those songs that will be forever.. A timeless classic.
NightWatchmanState I like to wake up with this beautiful song.
An incredible song that routinely makes me cry. It packs a real punch in emotional terms.
I totally agree awesome
If you here in 2021, listen to this, you understand good music
Timeless song
xx
JDB should go down in history as one of the greatest vocalists ever. This song proves that.
Completely agree. How he does bother more respect as an amazing vocalist I have no idea

It's a lush song ..💞🎸
I hear you, the musicality is quite simply maddening ,have no idea how James turns Nicky’s lyrics into music.
Poetry and we last forever
I will try to collect the most iconic and timeless songs. So this song will surely one of those.
If songs like this couldn't plant the seed and mechanise change nothing will.. Tremendous band, philosophy, poetry and weaved together with incredible sound. Excellent.
Couldn't agree more..❤
Me too ❤
What a beautiful song. Timeless classic
I absolutely adore Manic Street Preachers. It's got me through very dark times, their songs have such depth and beauty that I will never tire of them.
Agreed
Same here
You said it!! 🎶
When the train collision took place in Greece, this song came to my mind.
Now, watching the video once again, I remembered why...
no excuses, no genuine smiles anymore.
Thank you MSP for this gem, a remedy for the soul... to the everlasting.
😢
Mazi sou bro!
The best British ( Welsh) band ever.
Long live manic street preachers.
2023 and still listening this song. What A great song
who is listening this in COVID-19 isolation. Brilliant Jam back then, still is and forever

Their music makes me feel stuff no other music does
Love this band since I discovered as a child and know I'm a grown man amazing how the time and the years passing through so fast like water my father and my grandfather used to say and both of them were more than right.... the only thing that stays the same it's definitely good music and the memories that follows it....!!!!!
James vocals in this are so angelic🔥🔥🔥

Well said and you're so right about the final part. First you get into them there's no way out.
If you say something 'true' u would do better to be ready to back it and believe in it, because people will pester u euphemistically _'to the ends of the earth'_ if need be and it's a matter of what u value the most.
So true💖
I listened to this song million times when it was released. Only now, in 2021, do I discover there was a video.
They were right then, they are right now.
The first few bars of this is one of the greatest album openers ever.
One of the best songs i have ever heard. It's really amazing and makes me think of all things in life. I think they are really underrated...
I'm still in love with this song twenty years later.
Me too bro 😢😢🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
This brilliant band infuses amazing vocals and instrumentation with such deep seated intelligence and poetic wisdom.
Makes as much sense in 2017 as it did in 1998. Underrated masterpiece
woke garbage in 2022
one of the most beautiful music of the 90s !!! I never get tired of hearing
Gives me goosebumps this song especially the guitar piece
The gap that grows between our lives
The gap our parents never had
Stop those thoughts control your mind
Replace the things that you despise
Oh you're old I hear you say
It doesn't mean that I don't care
I don't believe in it anymore
Pathetic acts for a worthless cause
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
But now unforgiven the everlasting
Everlasting
The world is full of refugees
They're just like you and just like me
But as people we have a choice
To end the void with all its force
So don't forget or don't pretend
It's all the same now in the end
It was set in a different life
Destroys my days and haunts my nights?
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
But now unforgiving the everlasting
Everlasting
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
Now unforgiving, the everlasting
Everlasting
But now unforgiving, the everlasting
Everlasting
thank you so much
@@krilin1126 i echo your sentiments thank-you so much for taking the time.
remember when i was a 15 year old kid and this was first released and still coming back to listen all these years later. it still sounds great now. the best songs are timeless.
One of the best groups out of Wales (Blackwood) Timeless classic!! Still think Richies alive somewhere? 😥
They never go in the trash like some music of today.. timeless, unforgotton, everlasting !
Jesus. I keep coming back to this album. It pulls no punches.
My favourite manics song . JDB has the best live voice
1999-2023 still everlasting (much love from bandung west jawa)
Absolutely gorgeous song! Its 2016 and still listening... This is immortality.
Çisem Yurdal 2018!!!!
Just came here sat, 29 June 2024, 14:53, to remind me of my teenage years
I remember buying this album on cassette when it came out. I feel this band is very underrated. Can't wait to see them in Leeds.
Very probably one of the most underrated bands ever. Hope you get to see them live Fella.
I remember also buying the album , but then stupidly lent it to a friend and never saw it again 🙄 brings back so many memories, I had just finished my last year at school and was preparing to go to uni- good times !
Leeds was amazing. Waited so long to get back to gigs and manics was a perfect way to start again
How could they be underrated? They were huge from 1994 up until 2000. They deliberately sabotaged themselves after this and are still pretty big arena band considering they're all well into their 40s/50s

+Alexandros Deligiorgis οντως αριστούργημα. Κριμα που δεν βγαινουν πλεον τετοια τραγουδια!
+Dora Jackson Ναι, έτσι είναι.
Me too, I prefer the 6 minutes version.
The intro should have at least been left in this version.
A single edit was necessary for radio play. The music video correctly reflects this.
This is my truth tell me yours.....What a beautiful album title! This is the Manics.
one of my favourite alternative rock song. absolutely emotional!
wow i forgot how excellent the manics are ...They always sound gd full volume
One of the best things come out of Wales apart from my Dad. Great tune.
WHAT A SONG ...GOD BLESS THEM
Love that band from Wales. Love the voice of the lead singer, got that cd with their hits. So unique lyrics..got the chills hearing it.
Beautiful and very talented band , extremely underrated. Just seen them play at Cardiff castle , it was amazing, beautiful and lots of emotion
Absolutey legendary song ❤️

Beautiful song, beautiful lyrics, beautiful band.
Always remember this disk 🎉❤😊 Masterpiece 😅😅
Underrated masterpiece, I love this song!
Sigh . They don't need to be mainstream
What a song makes you think about life deep
I remember listening to this in the early 2000's when I was a young teen, no musical experience has surpassed it.
Beautiful, Beautiful, Song
Definitely one of their best songs. A true classic
They are still one of the best. Some really good tracks in their last two albums.
One of the greatest songs ever, greetings from Moscow
hello from England my Russian friend.you have amazing taste!
How could i forget this wonderful song, in these years?
Pride on you. You're always hope for justice in this world. A special hug for you James, Nick and Sean 🤗👏
THE best voice of Britpop era
I love this song so much 😢❤ I always think about Richey when I listen it 😔💔
What a song, just a brilliant band been a fan for many a year, never made a bad album
Probably the best song to come out of the 2000s Great band 👏
This came out in 98. Not the 00's
God bless the Manics from an exile in Bavaria. Yma O Hyd.
amazing song
timeless, i say this with every song like this, it shoots straight through the auditory system and into the soul, that feeling of feeling the song with a higher power
A simply word for this: underrated
One of my favorites of the post Richey era... Thanks a lot to Bradfield, Wire and Moore for this one.
Always come back here from time to time. Truly a great song!
simply perfect!!!!! never tired of it!!!
It is..it is fabulous ❤️
2020 everlasting song
Just a beautiful song.
pure gold 🙏
👍👌Absolutamente perfecta
August 26, 2023 still listening this song.. 🎉🎉
Yeah this song is in my "best songs ever" list.
Still one of my favourites
Everlasting indeed!
Perfect song,like all Manic's songs:)that's why i love them!!!
Absolute quality tune,never gets old
Absolutely love this band cant wait to see them again next weekend in Cardiff
SNAP
Classic track! Timeless
More relevant now than it ever was!
Maravillosa canción!!!

I like that they sing in clear English and not an American style drawl. (I like American music to) Top band
Well I remember seeing them filming this video at Euston Station, had just bought the album on cassette.. Tried to sneak into the cafe where they were filming.. I remember saying something like James asked us to come in... Needless to say I was refused entry... Don't hold it against them.. Awesome band, quality music makes your heart ache.
Ironically, they had to postpone the filming initially due to a fire at Euston!
the guitar at 2:49 is the most beautiful piece of guitar ever written in a song.... it brings me down everytime I listen to it.
L' infinito è perdonare ❤
