Some Kind of Nothingness is a song by Manic Street Preachers and the second single from their tenth album Postcards from a Young Man. It features Echo & the Bunnymen frontman Ian McCulloch. The single entered the UK singles chart at number 44, making it the first ever Manics single to not make the Top 40 since they signed to Sony in 1991.
To promote the single the band performed the song on Strictly Come Dancing. The music video features James Dean Bradfield and Ian McCulloch walking around Cardiff and Liverpool. It makes heavy use of the split screen technique.' An alternate video was posted on the Manics official website on 8 December, which was directed by both Nicky Wire and his brother Patrick Jones.
