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.

Sensible. Cringe inducing.

That would have been one of my suggestions, personally love it. More loosely connected but:

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).

Yes! But not on Apple Music (not even Shirley Bassey’s version).

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?

Found this post:

“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
