I was in Cardiff City center, waymarking Artistic Pub Signs, found The Old Matrket Tavern, which was next to Cardiff Market. Old memories came flooding back. I was thinking I used to visit this area as a child with my parents, now alas they are both gone. When the song Cardiff Afterlife' by the Manic Street Preachers, popped into my head.
Manic Street Preachers are a Welsh alternative rock band that was formed in 1986 in Blackwood, South Wales and consists of James Dean Bradfield (lead vocals and lead guitar), Nicky Wire (bass guitar and lyrics) and Sean Moore (drums and percussion). The band is part of the Cardiff music scene, and were at their most prominent during the 1990s. They are colloquially known as "The Manics", or simply, "Manics". Originally a quartet, the band became a trio when primary lyricist and rhythm guitarist Richey Edwards disappeared on 1 February 1995.
Cardiff Market (Welsh: Marchnad Caerdydd) - A Victorian indoor market in the Castle Quarter of Cardiff, Capitol of Wales.
Cardiff Market is an impressive Victorian structure which offers a unique shopping experience in the heart of a modern, bustling city. Under one great glass roof you will find a wealth of products ranging from pots and pans to bread and butter, and from nuts and bolts to rock and roll." Text Source: (

Lyrics for Cardiff Afterlife:
"If the love between us has faded away
Left in the rain, scratching at the stains
The paralyzed future
The past sideways scrawl
I must give up on this
It makes no sense at all
Makes no sense at all
In the Cardiff afterlife
In the Cardiff afterlife
We sense the breaking of our lives
In the Cardiff afterlife
In the Cardiff afterlife
And yet I kept my silence
Your memory is still mine
No I will not share them
Acquaintance through denial
For I witnessed splendour
And evil that no-one saw
And I felt kindness
And vanity for sure
And vanity for sure
In the Cardiff afterlife
In the Cardiff afterlife
We sensed the breaking of our lives
In the Cardiff afterlife
In the Cardiff afterlife
In the Cardiff afterlife
In the Cardiff afterlife
We sensed the making of our lives
In the Cardiff afterlife
In the Cardiff"
