Sep 5, 2008 - In an interview with James he said he kept braking down in this video, im not surprised, must have been painful to do, but his Mother would have been very proud of this song

Sep 5, 2008 - i sometimes forget how good the Manics are. i think they are sometimes overlooked when people think of great bands, but when you hear a tune like this they just blow almost every other peice of shit band out the water!

Sep 5, 2008 - I've just found out what this song is about. Poor bloke, I guess it was some way of him dealing with his grief. Will never look at this song the same way again. Bless you JDB.

Sep 5, 2008 - The rhythm does sound a bit like Coffee & TV... just a bit.A great song that pulled me through difficult times. And now, learning about the story behind the lyrics, it is just so perfect. Tell me, everyone, that when he sings "Oh, please stay awake" you can keep those tears away?Oh man, this is a great great great song.

Sep 5, 2008 - Last time I checked the meaning was more specific than drinking Ocean Spray with her. It was when he had given up hope and the doctor offered him some Ocean Spray to give to his mother - a gesture that seemed pathetic at the time, I guess. Beautiful song by one of the most overlooked bands, the chorus almost makes me cry.

Sep 5, 2008 - band that respected and were raised on the arts and aesthetics of minimalist tendancies like Pil, Can, Magazine, Joy Division,the Clash, with an appreciation of bands that did work outside their milieu ie: public enemy, guns and roses(even though i will never give gnr credit for anything) - yet altogether a too talented and orignal band to be restrained into spouting platitudes and not venturing for some commercial recognition. what an anomaly of a band. it's taken me years to truly know them..

PetitsFours Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - hey, it was meant as a compliment. i love this song...

distortedvuze Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - its about his mum when she was dying of cancer, just thought id let ya know.

distortedvuze Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - no her favourite drink at the time was ocean spray, its in one of the documentaries about them, he took 2 years out of the band at the time, and just did one, ive never found out if this song was penned in those 2 years or later when he came back to the band, but either way, good solid band true to their ethics, i aint got much repect for most bands, but these are one of the few.

GlobalPunditOrg Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - yep - i knew that from the pre record release interviews....

poupee2602 Says:
