For Mani……
‘I Wanna Be Adored‘ by The Stone Roses is a time capsule of youthful wonder, a song that shaped our childhoods and countless nights dancing in bedrooms to its sprawling indie majesty. Mani’s haunting bass weaves through every second, a shadow grounding the swirling guitars, Ian Brown’s hypnotic vocals, and Reni’s masterful drumming. The rhythm builds slowly, tension coiling like smoke, and when the chorus arrives, it feels divine—an anthem both intimate and enormous. Fun trivia: Mani recorded the iconic bassline in one take, and the original album version opens with a 50-second instrumental intro cut from the first single.
Every note, every drum hit, every vocal nuance is a tribute to Mani, the heartbeat of a generation.
