This features Welsh singer and harpist Georgia Ruth, whose voice is just gorgeous on this track, which is one that has often been described as worthy of a spot on Rewind The Film instead of Futurology. The name 'Divine Youth' comes from a bootleg Manics t-shirt from quite a few years ago (which Nicky Wire has been photographed wearing) and that, as well as the gentle, meditative lyric, suggests it is quite a personal song about (possibly) him and Richey, and their friendship when they were younger, and how Nicky now copes with his loss.
