Manic Street Preachers ft. Richard Hawley

[spiritof'76]

Been listening to and watching this over and over since last night and have gone from thinking it's wonderful to thinking that it's quite uncommonly magnificent

But, doesn't it sound just like a Richard Hawley track?!

I guess for many that's not necessarily a bad thing........ personally i've always struggled a bit to connect with Hawley though his 'thing' seems to suit the melancholy vibe of this number perfectly
I'm sure years ago a number like this would have divided Manic's fans but for me now i'm so long down the line with them that i can really appreciate all their moods and i'm finding a rare and earthly beauty in this and i'm sure all those that have stuck with them down the years will also appreciate that they don't always need to adopt a Clash style rock n' roll pose to move the emotions of the listener
Really looking forward to the album now

Not listened to it yet but I hope it does. Would much rather that than it sounding like another dull manics track.

Hmmm, it doesn't do much for me. I'm hit and miss on the Manic Street Preachers. Some albums I love, and others I hate. The last album was incredibly boring. The one before was great, etc!
