Come on i was expecting something like

So... the album has leaked, go find it!

with Andy writing FLW, you get the feeling (if it IS about Noel), then maybe HE holds the biggest grudge against Noel?

think its about his ex wife tbh

The reviews say Three ring circus is a good pub rock song too

His output for Oasis was dreadful. IMO TBWTL is his best song, which in itself is dirge on record, luckily they got it together live and added some depth to it with the guitars. The studio version just doesn't go anywhere.

SOTEOTN and TRC sound pretty average to me, not one publication has picked either of them as standouts in their respective reviews and the 30 second previews were hardly anything to get excited by. I know it's easy for you to say I'm judging my opinions on 30 seconds clips, which to an extent is true, however my initial thoughts on those were that Wigwam and The Beat Goes on sounded very strong (check my post history), with this in mind + the reviews stating as much I'm going to trust my gut feelings on them.

Of course if it turns out Gem's offerings are in fact the bollocks I will fully retract my statement, until then I'm pretty confident that I'm right on this one.

I've always looked forward to Andy and Gem's contributions to Oasis albums. From HIABP and TYFTGT, I've been big fans of their Oasis work. I get it some people don't like it, but they've really added another dimension to Oasis' albums to me.

I still think it's about Noel and also that Andy wanted to make it seem as if the lyrics are written from Liam's perspective.

For me, the whole song makes perfect sense if it's supposed to describe Noel from Liam's pov. But especially the "nothing ever lasts forever" line + the way Liam sings it makes it really obvious because it alludes to LF and to the "we go on forever" line in GGTIA.
I somehow doubt that this is all just a big coincidence in a song that is actually about Andy's ex-wife. But if that's the case then at the very least Andy must have been aware that a lot of people will misinterpret the song and he kept it like that on purpose.

It was confirmed that FLW was written during the Oasis era (probably one of the 4 songs Andy wrote rejected for DOYS). Unless he was predicting the break-up of the band, it was not about Noel.

Or maybe Four Letter Word IS a new song and they made up this story about it being from the DOYS era just not to make Andy's anger/hate (or whatever it is) so obvious

Ha, I kind of agree with that, except that I don't think the song is about Andy's feelings.
I mean, why would Andy care if Noel is acting all grown up & also I don't think that Andy had any particular plans for him and Noel to go on forever ;D
And I don't see the feelings in the song as completely negative but actually a lot more ambiguous.
It's a cool song, I really like the lyrics and it would be a bit of a shame if it turns out that it really, definitely has nothing to do with Noel.

But even if it wasn't originally written about him they must have known that releasing it as a Beady Eye song after the end of Oasis will give FLW a new meaning. You cant release a song with the message that nothing lasts forever after the breakup of your old band (that happened to have a signature song called Live Forever) and not expect people to pick up on that.
