Rosebud (Manic Street Preachers song)

"Rosebud" is a song by Manic Street Preachers, originally planned for their 2001 album, Know Your Enemy, when it was supposed to be a double album. It was released on 22 July 2022, along with a remastered album and music video directed by Kieran Evans, which contains 1970s footage from the BBC archive.

A Louder Than War review reads: "With its ringing guitars and electronic organ in the chorus, the song has a distinct Britpop flavour. Fittingly, the accompanying video induces nostalgia." An XS Noize critic wrote: "Beginning all wiry and cracked, 'Rosebud' soon opens out into a stuttering Hammond organ riff, a pensive rhythm track and a lyric that regrets 'most things I never finished'."
