Some Kind of Nothingness is a song by Manic Street Preachers and the second single from their tenth album Postcards from a Young Man.

Nicky Wire, in an interview with Absolute Radio, expressed his disappointment, "I was gutted that it missed the top 40", before adding "My excitement always turns into a real dose of fear when I’m waiting for a chart position or to find out whether the radio’s going to play our record,” he said.

'[4] 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.
