"Wide Open Space" is a song by Chester rock band Mansun, released as a single on 25 November 1996.

A completely different version credited to longtime engineer Mike Hunter was included as a hidden bonus track on their compilation Kleptomania.

Singer Paul Draper said, "I struggled for 6 months to find the lyrics from this song, I eventually got them from absorbing someone talking on TV which gave me the title, then I painted the imagery around that.

In the liner notes of Legacy: Best Of, Draper explained having recorded the entire song sans the vocals six months before he wrote the lyrics.

The first, directed by Paul Cunningham, features the band playing in a small dilapidated room while Martino Lazzeri (Joe Williams from BBC's Grange Hill) walks around a city, alienated and paranoid, amid vampiresque overtones.

"Wide Open Space" became a dance anthem after being remixed by DJ and producer Paul Oakenfold (under the production alias Perfecto).
