About This Track

Here is some background information on “The Everlasting from Songfacts.com: The second single from The Manic Street Preachers’ 1998 album This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours found bassist and lyricist Nicky Wire struggling to come up with a good title. After spending some time trying to think of something similar to Blur’s “The Universal” or Joy Division’s “The Eternal,” he eventually borrowed from a poem by his brother Patrick Jones titled “The Everlasting.”
