DESCRIPTION:
"Your Love Alone Is Not Enough" is a single by Welsh rock group the Manic Street Preachers, taken from the album Send Away the Tigers. The song is a duet featuring the vocals of lead singer James Dean Bradfield and Nina Persson of The Cardigans, as well as additional vocals from bass guitarist Nicky Wire. It was released as a single on 30 April 2007, having already charted at No. 26 in the UK charts on early download sales. On Tuesday, Music Week reported that the single was due to hit #1 on Sunday 6 May, after its physical release. However, they charted at number 2, behind the Beyoncé--Shakira collaboration "Beautiful Liar". According to singer Bradfield the title was the last line of a suicide note left by the friend of someone close to the group.[1]
The song's lyrics reference past classic British rock songs.
The lyrics "You stole the Sun straight from my heart" is a quote from an earlier Manic Street Preachers hit of the same name on the album This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours.
The line "trade all your heroes in for ghosts" is a reference to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here".
"I could have seen for miles and miles" is a nod to The Who's "I Can See for Miles".
Like with all Send Away the Tigers-related material, the cover image is taken from the photography book Monika Monster Future First Woman on Mars by Valerie Phillips.
The song won "Best Track" at the Q Awards 2007.
