Manics - Ocean Spray

[asifadio]

oh this song is beautiful

[burkezillar]

This is the first Manic's song to make me cry. Never did before but it bares significance to me now. My Dad has cancer at the moment, same as James' mother did (who he wrote the song about). It's a beautifully sad song.

[XxpauldadudexX]

Love this song and I love ocean spray pop....I feel a bit dumb that I didnt know its about someone dying but ppl shouldnt judge...I really didnt anylyse lyrics til a girl whos a bud said that I dont listen to lyrics and I realised I didnt....well I try to now but its just if I enjoy a song I dont get to deep on the words and get depressed...Lol I am called Emo enuff already

[motokazinokaxtupa]

とても　とても　美しい曲です

[Elibobbob]

"Please stay awake so we can drink some Ocean Spray" how can you not cry at that? Is so sad but so beautiful as simple pleasures and emotions have more value that anything of monetary wealth. Makes me cry when I think of a son losing his mother. Sob sob!

[ReignBeauJo]

Sooo beautiful.

Funny to see Nicky jumping around in that skirt :D

[Maegirl66]

what a beautiful song, I was with my mum, holding her hand along with my sister when she died of cancer I miss her every day.

[Koindrank]

I didn´t know it was about that. Feels like it´s fate that I would start listening to it then.

I´ve been in that situation myself once. I just wonder how he can sing it without choking up.

[louiselogan100]

How class is this guy xxx

[7stringkid]

James' singing is really good here

[KosmicFlux]

'Please stay awake, and then we can drink some Ocean Spray...' - Incredibly touching when you know the meaning behind it.

[noamjen]

how brilliant is Nicky Wire???

[kArMaGeDoNBooM]

its wonderful ...i am just wondering if anyone has the notes of the trumpet solo????plz msg me :)thanxz

[setanta09]

..maybe he was pissed with the ol..drink cranberry juice..it fights cancer in women.. its a cracking choon however the fuk you interpret it

[nikkituckernedda]

when you have a loved one dying in front of you, all you can think of is what makes them happy, try to read a little bit into the manics lyrics, you might learn something...

[Partoftheratpack]

True, only morons miss the point of this song.

[heavy671]

@Partoftheratpack cause they dont have ocean spray!! ;B

[partridgezombie71]

@nikkituckernedda

Absolutely right mate - nice one.

[antld28]

Woohoo Manic Street Preachers Woohoo cranberry juice!

[flippered9999]

Are they getting paid for this Cranberry juice advertising???? Are they??

[exkirkby]

No. When James's mother was ill in hospital it's all she would drink. It's a song about spending time with his mother who was sick.

[theactordavidbath]

It's beautiful when the horns come in.

[mychematthedisco]

Yay - nicky dress!

james and sean are a lot slimmer now aren't they.

Great song.

[rama6maiden]

[SebZoso]

Ye, are you implying this is unorthodox?

[WhoStar7]

[jollyass25]

I think this is a really sweet song

[vemote]

There's really only one thing wrong with beautiful, picturesque Welsh villages, and that is.. they're full of taffs!

[jim952]

they should be seen as one the great british bands of the last 20 years. very underrated by the general public, one of the best.

[fatuesque]

wow this aired on my 21st birthday it seems.

[raycharlesfan]

HA, Look at Nicky Wire's skirt.

[batchen12]

he can afford it... he have sexy legs

[XxUrDaddyxX]

Is He Just Being Silly Or Is He The Other Way... First Time Hearing One Of Their Song.

[riw1989]

Just being silly. Has two sons i think...

[smartalec247]

drummer got fat didnt he. lay off the pies ya taff!

[musicsnobtobe]

He's thinner now. :S

[BlastastiC]

Know Your Enemy for me was a bit like Gold Against The Soul: I wouldn't listen to the album much, but there were some great singles.

[nukem11]

I never liked Know your Enemy album but Ive listened to it more and its pretty good. This is a beautiful song and a great tribute to his mum which I never realized.

[pogyatu]

Very Good Tribute! (To James' Mum)

[lungin]

beautiful
