"La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh)" is a song by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers. It was released in 1993 by record label Columbia as the second single from their second studio album ''Gold Against the Soul''. It reached number 22 in UK Singles Chart.〔 ==Content== The song's title is taken from the reported last words of Vincent van Gogh, "La tristessa durera toujours", quoted in a letter from his younger brother Theo to their sister Elisabeth, using her nickname ''Lies''. The letter was translated by Robert Harrison, who states that the phrase means "The sadness will last forever".〔 The song lyrics are written from the perspective of a war veteran, containing the line "wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir" and tracking the bathetic progress of the former soldier's war medal: "It sells at market stalls/Parades Milan catwalks". Richey Edwards told ''Melody Maker'' newspaper, "It's a beautiful image when the war veterans turn out at the Cenotaph, () and everyone pretends to care ... but then they're shuffled off again and forgotten." According to Martin Power in his book ''Manic Street Preachers'', the band "sounded at sixes and sevens" in the rest of the album, "Yet, as with ''Generation Terrorists'', they had again produced one genuine classic in the form of 'La Tristessa Durera (Scream To A Sigh)'." Edwards wrote the lyrics, and also played rhythm guitar on the track. The B-side, "Patrick Bateman", is a "tribute" to the ''American Psycho'' character. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
