"Ocean Spray" is a song by Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers, released as the third single from their sixth studio album, Know Your Enemy (2001), on 4 June 2001. James Dean Bradfield wrote both lyrics and music for the song.[1] It reached number 15 on the UK Singles Chart.

Background

The song's title was inspired by the cranberry juice drink that James would take in to his mother Sue whilst she was in hospital undergoing treatment for cancer, eventually dying from the disease. It also featured the first recorded lyric written by James. Drummer Sean Moore played a trumpet solo on the song. The CD included "Groundhog Days", "Just A Kid", and the "Ocean Spray" video, whereas the cassette included "Little Trolls".[2]

The "Ocean Spray" video clip also represents a high point in the visibility of the Manics photographer Mitch Ikeda, who appears and speaks the opening Japanese dialogue "Script error: No such module "Lang"." (Template:Langx), which translates as "you have very beautiful eyes... such beautiful eyes".

Release

The song reached number 15 on the UK Singles Chart on 16 June 2001 and spent eight weeks in the top 100.[3] A performance was recorded for that week's Top of the Pops.
