Manic Street Preachers - Show Me the Wonder (Official Video)

[@michellerosebrown]

This band is so underrated here in a America. Love Manic Street Preachers.

[@krischarlton7637]

Keri Kidd i think they were percieved as anti-american because of the song 'ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfallapart' when its the all comsuming capitalist system that chews up and spits out the masses they hate. all the best from the u.k.

[@krischarlton7637]

what a fucking tune. bradfield said he knocked it up in about ten minutes. he wanted to evoke 70's era elvis. excellent.

[@preachmaniac5446]

agreed, works well with James' fat-Elvis period

[@NoraVelocity]

I've fallen out of love with many bands, but the Manics have always been a constant for me and this song again has made me fall in love with them over again! Awesome!

[@MichaelMitchell-nn2ig]

''We may write in English, but our truth remains in Wales.'' Seriously, what an awesome, awesome fucking band.

So why don't they sing in Welsh?

[@jakobnilsson8128]

I am proud as a human being to love this band since I ever began to really appreciate music. I am Swedish but live in France and if now I'm studying the welsh language it's partly thanks to those guys. I've always loved Wales though, my dream is to grow old and die on that proud soil of angels and heroes! Forever Cymru!

[@tomcosterton6419]

Why haven't more people liked this genius?

[@roycewilliams3086]

Kudos to the Manics for taking chances on each of their albums. As much as I wanted this to be a clone of one of their other albums, they've made a reflective acoustic album that is great for fall time weather. Not a Saturday night album, but rather a Sunday night one.

[@KieraEirian97]

Had so much fun filming this

[@MAXAM_4]

Impossible not smiling! I don't care if it's only a pop song. It makes me :) and it's a good sensation in these troubled times. So thanks Manics and that's all.

[@TheTomdude82]

James really knows how to sing... So goood

[@ArbeiterInnenlieder]

Them trumpets again. I love it.

[@thegrumpygirl3431]

I could loop this for hours and hours and hours.

Oh, reminds me of my old days... Great song and footage... Nostalgic!

[@mickrobinson2639]

Great band..I'm sure growing up in South London was not a lot different to growing up in South Wales..great parents & the Library opened my mind to reading

[@nyeevans13]

Er... quite different actually mate. Wales is a great place full of amazing friendly people and...

[@gigsdanpoes]

CLASSICMANICS... Manics selalu Bagus!!!

[@06hatter]

should have been a huge hit

[@VeryUselessPerson]

Don't know clearly why, usually I listen to a lot harder music, but this song is so freaking catchy! I can't stop myself from listening over and over and over...!

[@MrLittleRedMan11]

Such a cheery Manics song! These guys made me incredibly proud to be Welsh.

[@sctaylor705]

I only just realised that the girl is the same one from the Anthem for a Lost Cause video. So presumably these guys got together and got married, and then it all went to shit, which is just heartbreaking. But on a lighter note, she was clearly a hardcore Manics fan, hence all the glitter

[@felicityflynn6480]

I know what you mean. As a woman trade unionist and a person who likes wearing glitter make up to clubs, it's a really nice visual.

[@mizofan]

I've read a few reviews and they're very positive.

[@sopotniachannel]

Love this guy's voice

[@alankilroy04]

Beautiful video..Great band. Love them so much ❤

[@mitierob69]

Richard Hawleys 60s vibe is stamped all over this-no matter what people say this is great Manics

[@adamfitzgerald190]

Hey. Hello from Hong Kong! Heard this on six musik yesterday and absolutely loved it! Have now listened to it at least 30 times! Awesome, A real return to form. Hands up if you saw them at Wolverhampton Civic Hall in 1994?..... \

[@diablogeege]

Welcome back Boys. Being a huge fan I clicked this with wonder and withing 30 seconds I got the "unique" sound that you produce that will and never has leaved me for the last 16 years (since I've been a fan). Always a special band to me, God, James.... you are in my top 5 singers of all time amongst Freddie, Chris Cornell, Celine.... So glad you're back...and keep coming back. I'll be getting your tour tickets for Glasgow when it comes!!! GBTM

[@loobycarroll]

Everything they do is brilliant! Love them. :)

[@imissbritishleyland]

You're right. They aren't angry and more. This is really reflective and nostalgic and I'm sure it's exactly what they wanted. They do what they want and go in any direction they want, but I think this is one step I can't take with them.

[@jevticnenad]

amazing. masterpiece.

[@TheManics27]

Great new manics song and video. Looking forward to new album and cant wait to see them in London in september.

[@jhxgfalihsdfksf]

Alot of people clearly don't appreciate what the Manics have achieved in evolving over the years. A fantastic song, the people bagging it clearly don't have the capacity to understand the message which Wire is trying to get across. Oh and James's vocals sound just as great as they ever did!

[@traceypygall8165]

this is really really catchy. I have ALWAYS loved manic street preachers. They will always be my favourites.

[@lyndondavis2]

Good song. Great film. Oh to be 18 again. In the seventies. At a pub disco, pints of bitter, dancing with a girl you've just met. Stick me in that groundhog day for ever.

[@AceForsberg]

This is no threat Just an invitation A sense of belonging A sense of inspiration Is heaven a place Where nothing ever happens Is it too much to ask To disbelieve in everything Show me the wonder I have seen the birthplace of the universe Show me the wonder I have seen their records move in reverse If you're exiled By all the cruel tongues Then show me the wonder The wonder of your love A tapping pain of madness Running through their veins We may write in English But our truth lays in Wales Show me the wonder I have seen the birthplace of the universe Show me the wonder I have seen their records move in reverse Praying for the silence When we look in to a mirror Stained so patient We measure the nostalgia Is heaven a place Where nothing ever happens Is it too much to ask To disbelieve in everything Show me the wonder I have seen the birthplace of the universe Show me the wonder I have seen their records move in reverse Show me the wonder Show me the wonder I have seen their records move in reverse

Fantastic - can't wait for the new album!!!

[@luciealiceeliasova4851]

I love this retro 70s video😍🥰

[@L3w1sJ0n3s]

You couldn't be more wrong. They usually do a pretty even spread, even when promoting an album, and they've still got the energy they had when they started. Saw them at the o2 when they did all their singles and they made even the less good songs sound amazing. Best live band I've seen ;)

[@Gus70H]

The Manics have evolved - AWESOME!

[@LISAL48]

Fantastic! Really looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.

[@DarrenInTheDust]

Did anyone notice the reference to Talking Heads or is it just me? "Is heaven a place where nothing ever happens?"

[@Scottyboy9999]

Excellent song - chorus is great

[@leeadams3296]

I remember James and Nicky talking to the guys on Sunday Brunch some years ago about how its time to move on. Working away in their Cardiff Studio this album has been two years in the making. Im really excited about them moving on to some new music rather than being tempted by the old Lyrics left by Ritchie. It will take time for some of the new tracks to strike accord but this is the Manics today and not Yesterday. Looking forward to the album.

[@freddie843]

The manics will always have a place in my record collection.....All bands when they get famous become too commercial and poppy because the ideas run out and once they have a massive fan base most people will buy anything they release, but live the manics are brilliant......

[@ignaciocc1327]

Sometimes I forget that this same band plays a couples of songs like "faster" and "archives of pain", anyway they do beautiful music like this one

[@jackmolay7061]

They were a different band, literally, when they did those songs. Richey was in the band, grunge was huge. The Holy Bible came out at the same time as Nirvanas In Utero. Cobain and Richey are both dead now. In many ways The Holy Bible is a long suicide note in song. It's one of the darkest albums I've ever owned, so bleak. The band couldn't have have carried on writing and performing such songs. Those songs have very dark, psychologically devastating effects. That album speaks so much of the the fear, horror and misanthropy of Richeys tormented soul. The bands follow up album 'Everything Must Go' speaks volumes about how they saw their future after Holy Bible and Richeys disappearance.

[@this_is_ally]

@@jackmolay7061 you're absolutely right. They even don't like to play THB live and rarely do it, because of its content, I think

[@ahmadzuhairi]

Remove the hand soap dispenser in the ladies and it's a perfect 70s set! Lovely piece.

Was dissappointed in this song at first - I love the more melodic Manics, their last album in particular was wonderfully crafted, but this seemed TOO smooth... on further listens however, I am actually loving it - one of their most insanely catchy choruses ever, great vocals as always... yeah, fallin in love with this song already

[@uptonsinclair6042]

Lifeblood!

[@secallen]

The Manics have always been about making something bright and euphoric out of something dark and melancholic. In that sense they are the same band they ever were, but maturing over time. Love this track as much as I loved Faster at the time and Motown Junk at the time.

[@Robcatist]

I met the legend that is Nicky Wire in Oxford Street HMV this morning, let us take photos with me and the girlfriend, totally down to earth if not a little tired from the night before I guess.

[@foggytown80]

Bands 'grow up' and a great band will change their sound as its members grow older. Same thing happened to Teenage Fanclub when they released 'Shadows' a couple years ago. Mellow yes, but still Teenage Fanclub. This is song still feels like a Manics song, just from an older, wiser, and more mature band.

[@Gusrikh1]

Fabulous..
