Loved this song, blew me away first time I heard it. Loved playing the guitar solo, such power in the song. Completely out of place on the album, but brilliant for it.
I bought this album for You Stole the Sun having never heard of the band...and stumbled upon one of my favorite albums of all time. I've never really followed the band or looked for their vids til just now. Who's Nicky, Richey, etc? Is there a site I can go to where stuff like this/song meanings is explained?
@DJFLDJFL im sure youve found out by now but Richey is Richey James Edwards who disappeared Feb 1 1995 and has never been heard from since. Nicky is Nicky Wire, his best friend and song writing partner. Wikipedia has the credible info and then they are thousands of fan sits furthing the legend of our beloved Richey. I get my song meanings from songmeanings(dot)net
My Little Empire, Nobody Loved You and Ready For Drowning. my favourite songs from TIMTTMY. Actually, Black Dog On My Shoulder is beautiful as well; especially after the real meaning behind it is discovered xD
im sick of listening to crappy love songs where they try to come up with loadsa poetic shit they dont even mean...this song is just the truth and the most beautiful song ive ever heard...i wish somebody loved me the way Nicky loves Richey
i put this song in my top 10 manics songs..the bit between 2:13 and 2:20 gets me every time right between the shoulder blades! The song is a sad but hopeful lament to Richey but musically defiant and letting out frustration ending with that blossom tree..waiting to flower once more! Beautiful!
why people likes to think that Nick is gay?

No vendettas, just a cherry blossom tree.
What a lyric.

God this is one of their most underrated numbers. Only they could make a song about depression that you can dance to. GOD BLESS THE MANICS!!!

I would have to say the chorus sound's like a Queen chorus from the miracle era. And stunning vocal's that even Freddie would admire. 9/10
