[@DarkEldar2304]

Great album. ❤

[@AwakeningtheHeart-tv1it]

Inch for inch and dollar for dollar, Everything Must Go leaves OK Computer in its dust (the latter really only has 3 1/2 really good songs) and probably gives What's the Story Morning Glory a run for its money too but you wouldn't know it from popular opinion.

[@Deano_Longley]

Everything must go is for me the #1 album of the 90s hands down

[@petugas_youtube]

kesini karena Qibil, Erik, Ariel, dan Uki bawain ini di konser 😁👍

How has the theme song of Renford Rejects not gone into the millions of views?!?! I LOVE this track! Did a cover of this banger a few years back and I have to say it's one if the most enjoyable and fun songs to drum to! It's still on my bucket list to see these lads live at least once in my lifetime once this madness dies down!

[@MrWhiteponyderby]

Do it :D i saw them on my birthday, manchester apollo 2001, amazing, and when james did 2 solo acoustic songs the place went quiet you could hear a pin drop till he finished singing :D

[@clive_the_fat_cat]

One of the best live bands iv ever seen, i saw them play the whole 'send away the tigers' album then they had a break and came back and played there greatest hits

[@JoeyHFace]

The ability of the Manics to take an incredible, upbeat melody and put the most desperately sad lyrics to it is absolutely unsurpassed. Genius is used too often, but it applies to the Manics.

[@willopad42]

I think OMD still gets the award for most incongruously upbeat song with Enola Gay. It feels very odd dancing to a song about one of the worst things that people ever did to each other.

[@sd7866]

I live in Australia and only hearing this song now! These guys rock

[@importedmusic]

Saw the Manics live 24 years ago, scary how fast time goes.

Takes me back his one the Manics were one of the most underrated bands in the uk during the `brit pop/indie` era they are still as relevant now as they were back then

[@mayscough72]

These awesome musicians supported oasis when I saw them at Knebworth and I swear to god they were the best band of the day hands down,

[@amorpaz1]

Not surprising, Oasis sucks 😅

[@tomgeorgearts]

I often think that this song could have inspired the Foo Fighters' 'Times Like These', with the verses starting with "I...". The Manics and the Foos played so many festivals together over the years, they would be familiar with each others' sets. As a songwriter myself, sometimes a line or melody comes into your head and you don't know where it came from, sometimes it's something you've heard before but you just go with it. It doesn't matter. 2 great bands, 2 great songs....RIP the great Taylor Hawkins.

[@beehivecluster7496]

Possible. But IMO Australia has the much stronger/more original melody, while Times Like These is pretty generic. Yet the Foos song has nearly 100x the views. 🙃

[@dj-um7el]

​@@beehivecluster7496 Well only a bit more generic, but I do like The Manics better.

Not sure how true it is, but I heard this song was written after the disappearance of Richey where the singer wanted to go somewhere as far away as possible to escape, that being Australia. I think that makes it really sad and heartfelt.

[@imongaming213]

Lyric : I don't know if I'm tired and I don't know if I'm ill My cheeks are turning yellow I think I'll take another pill Praying for the wave to come now It must be for the fifteenth time I've been here for much too long This is the past that's mine I want to fly and run till it hurts Sleep for a while and speak no words in Australia I want to fly and run till it hurts Sleep for a while and speak no words in Australia In Australia Praying for the wave to come now It must be for the very last time It's twelve o'clock till midnight There must be someone to blame I want to fly and run till it hurts Sleep for a while and speak no words in Australia I want to fly and run till it hurts Sleep for a while and speak no words in Australia In Australia Australia, in Australia I want to fly and run till it hurts Sleep for a while and speak no words in Australia In Australia In Australia In Australia

This song is so beautiful it makes me want to cry

[@TheMichaelseymour]

mrsmiggins81 I actually think I inspired it ...it mentions everything I told them in a "fan boy" letter I wrote to them at the time as a over earnest aussie living in London ...everything in the song I alluded to including (and I kid you not ) a desire for nuclear annihilation and that I wanted to go back to Melbourne because I was popping so many pills to stay awake after 3 long years of 12 hour shifts and what the fuck was I doing here (London ) when all I wanted to do was go home to sleep for months to catch up , and speak to nobody ....I don't care what the official explanation may be ...I am certain its too much of a coincidence ...and I was spooked when I heard the song ...its either true -or a massive coincidence ?....hmmm , you decide .

[@SkyWidows]

Michael Seymour that's mad! Did you ever contact them about it?

[@TheMichaelseymour]

Sky Widows no.... I doubt they would admit or encourage a response ....in fact ...in the live DVD at Cardiff stadium ...james says "skippy fuck off" ....which always makes me laugh ...funny , but I have not lost the passion for manics music ....even after all these years ...and I only saw them last year in "Australia" lol ! ....when they played that song live ...I felt weird seeing all those people rock out to it and thinking ..."if you only knew " ...yeh, cool ....thanks sky ...its good to share these storys -cheers ,mick ...i
