Manic Street Preachers - So Why So Sad (Official Video)

[@АлистерАквилина]

2023 and still love this song

[@murilorocha478]

One of the most underrated songs from one of the most underrated bands EVER

[@jamiefoyers2800]

I always think this is a video for our times. People think everything is okay, "It's normal" but take a look around you in the background...the reality is far different. I found the Manics dvd of all their videos and this one made an impact on me...both sides of the equation on view...

[@21nemo21]

I have just came here in 2023, because the name "Manic Street Preachers" came to my head out of nothing. And I then thought- Oh my God, I know that I liked one particular song from this band 20 years ago. And bum, here I am, listening to this song and refreshing it in my memory. I have goosebumbs. What a music, still fresh, both happy and sad....

[@TylerDurden-oy2hm]

so why so few viewings??...great vocals and lyrics with some depth...so underrated and underappreciated

so why so sad? :D

This is about us in 2023 , Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, Lebanon , wake up humanity!

[@amethyst7084]

UK Radio stations - please play this more often!! 🎼👏🏾♥️

[@TisTheDamnStickSeason]

God I love these boys. From You Love Us to La Tristesse Durera to Faster to Design For Life to If You Tolerate This, Autumnsong to Small Black Flowers, this song and now Orwellian Times and everything in between. So much huge variation and all done so brilliantly. Still miss Richey though.

[@1985corto]

best tune of the 00's

[@whitters1980]

Still an absolute classic. Manics are the Greatest.

[@doctorwhat3683]

I’ve honestly forgotten how mental this album was. Only the Manics would release a post-punk revival song and a Beach Boys homage that references hyenas as singles on the same bloody day, and have a disco song that ends with the repeated refrain of “Braindead motherf***ers.” Oh god bless them

[@waz3128]

And it went over everyone's head. Less than 2 years later Interpol were reviving Post Punk, DFA and LCD Soundsystem were making disco cool again, The Thrills and The shins were making Beach Boys inspired Sunshine pop Not long after Arcade fire were the darlings of Indie producing a full album of songs using the same the production tricks used on ' So Why So Sad'' to make it sound old.

[@daganbachelor]

[@lindseymonti6790]

The best band ever

[@heidithomas3177]

I honestly thought this was an old song, I googled it to see who did it first lol. Great retro feel to it and amazing video!

[@residentelect]

It certainly has a Beach Boys-esq vibe doesn't it.

[@ursulade]

no other band has the range and variety of styles of music as the manics do! these guys are top of my list and always have been! i hope they keep making music..

[@NaomiC247]

At the time I preferred Found That Soul, but this is the one I go back to 20+ years later! Great video too.

[@RabbidTheNabbit]

One of my favourite manics songs, just makes me feel a certain way, it's melancholy, but also really comforting and calming at the same time

[@upskull]

That's Art ❤ What a wonderful tune.

[@plwglbrth]

Still a fantastic song. I remember thinking it was great when I first heard it and felt shamed into keeping it as a guilty pleasure by the reactions I got whenever I put it on. Also a great video.

[@plwglbrth]

Gonna leave a similar comment on 'The Love of Richard Nixon' in a sec.

for me it was the opposite. first listening through the album and this comes on? a real "wtf" moment. then, after a few more replays, I finally got it. after that, it's become one of my favourites from Know Your Enemy

[@irfankusai1433]

[@christinopessoadossantosfi9866]

Banda genial dos anos 90. Essa música e esse clipe, além de clássicos, são tão atuais, mesmo 20 anos depois.

[@christopherhowe5180]

such great melancholy

[@itamarmarle7246]

Things get clear when I feel free When whatever's next comes easily When gentle hands give life to me When your eyes fill with tiny tears When I'm this still you are my life When I'm this still you are my life So at ease in the midnight sky So at ease in the midnight sky But my insides will look like war My insides will look like war Paralysed except through my thought So why so sad You live and you love So why so sad Dependent on above Searching for the dead sea scrolls So why, so why so sad My smile as real as a hyena's My smile as real as a hyena's Burns an expressway to my skull Burns an expressway to my skull But I'll stick myself together again Spirit so low that I no longer pretend

[@clay890]

This is why I love the Manics, they make people think about what is happening in the world and why we've not learned from our mistakes. Let's hope one day we'll learn from our mistakes and love each other but I am sure we're about to be annihilated by nukes.

[@peterianstaker9273]

Love this song, old but gold, one of the most underrated songs and video

[@dariosanto5762]

[@paulbeilby3523]

Followed these ever since they released motorcycle emptiness. All my student friends thought I was mad. Nearly 30 years later...who's the mad one!! Great songs covering nearly every genre.

Taken a few years but I reckon the videos a ⚠️ to whats coming around the corner across the pond 🙏

[@tomasztarkowicz3991]

Nice song. I listen it in Leba at the polish sea where german troops tested tank and rockets during II WW. Here is buetifull and quiet since 1945, so it is good it is so long...

[@yellowfolder]

Wow, this song is older than I thought

[@IanEdwards]

The most honest band. Love em.

[@nunopereira3185]

Beautiful. Very sad the melody but I love it. I feel the presence of Bryan and Carl wilson

[@jennahawkey7613]

totally agree, but what is the beach boys song the "ba-ba-dah"s at the start of this manics song come from? i've been wracking my brains!

[@sergeyivanov2449]

Brilliant Song from Wales! Thank You Guys! MSP are Great!

[@SpaceCattttt]

So why so underrated? I think this is their best single, from their best album by far. Man, you know something isn't as popular as it should be, when Spanish and Italian people are writing the majority of the comments!

[@jcqa333]

[@brucewayne7476]

and you are underestimating Spanish speakers , so... you should be gland that other countries appreciate english music.
