Manic Street Preachers - My Drowning World

It has long been common practice for western bands to include 'bonus tracks' on Japanese versions of their albums in order to convince local customers to buy the domestic release of an album over the cheaper import versions. The Manics have observed this practice since 'Generation Terrorists', though typically these tracks later surfaced as b-sides in Europe. However, with the decline of the physical single - and, therefore, the b-side - in the age of streaming, these songs sometimes remain 'stuck' in Japan. In the case of 'The Ultra Vivid Lament' two 'bonus tracks' were included - 'My Drowning World, and 'These Dark Roads', neither of which have even seen issue outside of Japan. Here is 'My Drowning World' for your aural pleasure.
