Richey never done drugs and he really despised that..he was a depressive alcoholic who self harmed so yes he was messed up…even so in his worst states around the holy Bible era he was still reading 3 books per day apparently..I don’t think a drug addict could do that 😂

Fabulous song, depression wrapped in a gorgeous melody.

Such a great track!

Beautiful cat, of course featured in a song about dogs 😆

Agree that the music is uplifting. But I think the track is about depression. That's why he mentions Winston Churchill in one of the verses. Churchill suffered from deep bouts of depression, and referred to it as the "Black Dog"

That's what I get from the song. A bit like Nick Drake's "Black eyed Dog". Thanks for finally putting the Churchill line in context for me. The guitar part at the end is utterly sublime, I think.

This whole album is a masterpiece 🌟

Yeah this is a superb tune and was considered to be a single I think but in the end was just an album track..but this was also one of my fav songs of theirs..outro is awesome

1st album without Richie was Everything Must Go

Ryan's friend likes the Manic Street Preachers! Woohoo! 😁

Loving the rabbit hole

You stole the sun from my heart next!! Ready for drowning etc

Hello to Ryan's cat!

Wonderful.

It's probably a redundant quibble at this stage but you weren't wrong when you said TIMTTMY is the Manics first album without Richey. As the guy in your chat said it is the second album they recorded and released after his disappearance but the first entirely without his creative input as about half of the songs on 'Everything Must Go' (the 1st they RECORDED without him) were Richey penned lyrics.

Nobody loved you is my favourite track from this album.

This is my least favorite song from that album.

@@francoisdewit8073 "The Everlasting" has been a bit of a grower for me. I always found it interesting/bold to start off the album with it. "If you tolerate..." indeed is untouchable. Gosh, I should listen to the whole thing again soon.

@@francoisdewit8073 So tough. I was fresh out of school when this album dropped. I also love 'Everything Must Go', but I personally completely fell for the divisive follow-up 'Know Your Enemy'. If pressed, I'd say that's my favourite. A bit like their 'White Album' going into all directions at once.
