Manic Street Preachers have released a live acoustic studio video for their track Distant Colours.
The original version will appear on their upcoming album Resistance Is Futile, which will arrive on April 13.
The band previously launched a video for the track which was filmed by Kieran Evans and starred Sarah Sayuri along with a lyric video.
The lyrics for the song were written by James Dean Bradfield and are said to be about his “disenchantment with the left of his youth, where the classic Labour of Nye Bevan has ended up.”
Bradfield says: “Musically, the verse is downcast and melancholic and the chorus is an explosion of disillusionment and tears.”
Resistance Is Futile, which is available for pre-order, focuses on themes of “memory and loss, forgotten history, confused reality and art as a hiding place and inspiration.”
