Welsh Manics
Inspired by James' amazing performance at the Welsh Open Voices the past weekend, I have made a Wales inspired Manics Apple playlist.
Really it's any Manics song in which the lyric mentions a place in Wales or Wales itself or something to do with Wales. I am wondering if I have missed any songs: EDIT: After the replies here is the running order using Manics' sequencing logic. SIDE A This Sullen Welsh Heart (Demo) Prologue to History Ready for Drowning The View from Stow Hill (Demo) Manorbier Dylan & Caitlin Which Way to Kyffin SIDE B Emigre The Secret He Had Missed 1404 The Sound Of Detachment Caldey Valley Boy Wattsville Blues Cardiff Afterlife (Great playlist if I do say so myself. Left out Show me the Wonder and Stronger Together because just no. Wish The Girl from Tiger Bay could have been on there but it ain't on Apple Music).

You could add The Sound of Detachment.
‘I feel as old as the Welsh hills that I love’ |

Quote:
William's Last Words includes "nos da", which is Welsh for good night. I Killed the Zeitgeist includes "Ich bin ein Newporter". My Drowning World mention's St. David's Day. |

Nice idea.
Unless we’re being super-strict I’d add The Girl From Tiger Bay (JDB demo that appeared on the band’s website).

BTW where did the James version of the song come from? Was it a demo or a radio performance? Remember it used to be on YouTube. |

Would Tolerate count as it's about the Welch fighting in the Spanish civil war?

“AUG 19, 2010 ORIGINAL GIRL FROM TIGER BAY DEMO ADDED TO AUDIO PLAYER The Manics’ original demo of The Girl From Tiger Bay, the track written last year by the band for Shirley Bassey has been added to front page.” https://www.manicstreetpreachers.com...-audio-player/ So there you go, they even describe it as a Manics track. While I’m making a post about it might as well link these (to keep UEF happy ) (edit: you beat me to it!) The Girl From Tiger Bay (JDB acoustic live) The Girl From Tiger Bay (Demo) - MSP

Why has it taken me so long to remember Suicide Alley!
