Manic Street Preachers

In September 2021, when the Manic Street Preachers performed "You Stole the Sun from My Heart" for Radio 2 Live in Cardiff, they were riding the wave of their thirteenth studio album, "The Ultra Vivid Lament," which was released shortly before the performance on September 3, 2021. This album marked a significant return for the band after the challenges of the pandemic, showcasing their resilience and innovative spirit in music. The live performance at St David’s Hall was particularly meaningful as it occurred in front of a small audience after extensive lockdowns, fostering a sense of connection between the artists and their fans. This song, originally from their acclaimed 1998 album "This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours," continued to resonate strongly, highlighting the band's enduring legacy and their ability to connect through live music even in challenging times.
