Can't watch this until tonight but I take it that it's better than the first one?

It's a continuation of SMTW. There's no Sean with comedy tache, so I'd say it's marginally worse.

It's almost like a mixture of RTF and SMTW - lots of traipsing around a Welsh town and long shots of washing on lines, but with the girl from SMTW.

I really enjoyed that. Really choked me up.

I've gone back to the album for the first time in a few weeks.

On a personal level, I’ve enjoyed all the videos so far as they are filmed in the Valleys where I’m from. Particularly the Rewind The Film video, I live really close to Trehafod and pass what was the colliery (now the Heritage Park) on the way to work most days...

After a second watch I'd say it's the best video they've ever made. It stands for something, it touches a nerve and it celebrates triumph through adversity. Stunning, I hope it gets quarter of a million views like the last one did.

I'm absolutely lost and a really bad manics fan but i'd missed all this didn't realize they were making consecutive vids and a story line. Chuffed havent watched this one yet as im off a nightshift so want first view when i'm not a zombie but yay! Nice concept beyond 'i've just moved in next door and wondered if i can borrow some gold blend.....or pronounce that orange liqueur....or cinzano or...*head explodes with 70's/80's sequential adverts

Same here! At the end I just sat at the computer with tears streaming down my face! Not even sure why really, as I have no connection to Wales or the miner's strikes in any way. For a short film it packs quite an emotional punch!

Very nice video. The songs might sound like the band is defeated, as someone mentioned, but the videos are, well, the first one was kinda optimistic, this one is pretty angry. And these contrasts combined together form the perfect harmony.

Note the details:
The Clash'es Combat Rock
"take this, it's yours" at one of the scenes when she's given money for selling furniture.


Looking forward for the b-sides. Ahem.

Well shot, but the storyline and general narrative is out of a foundation year film degree.

No "OMG, TEARS !" from me.
