The first minute I was like...OK...I don't know. I might not think this is anything special. But by the time he got to "my heart be unbroken" I was already acknowledging that I liked it. After another 2 listens, the replay and 1 on the KROC webiste I was fully on board.

It doesn't worry me that it took a few listens

This song is something special. And I am not one to like things on first listen because of hype then realise it's rubbish after it's been out a while. I'm the opposite, generally. I, invariably, never get a song fully the first time I hear it, sometimes I don't get it at all...even some of the ones that I will later love.

It's why I struggle in music stores finding new music even when they have the listening stations. LOL. I need to research before I ever step in.

It took a few listens to get the lyrics to scan properly. I kept getting hung up on the changes...particularly that first couple times. It didn't take more than 3 listens though.

I really love it, basically. There isn't much more I can say. It's a beautiful empassioned song. It defies all other description for me.

It's so basic and emotional...it's what I wanted it to be. Some people kept harping on about strings...but I didn't want them...strings can be used to portray emotion and grandeur where their is none. But when something is truly grand...it doesn't need them.

I think it could be classic. Not a rock standard or anything so grand. But a classic for all Noel Gallagher fans 20 years down the line when they look back at his career. It'll have a place of prominance if he ever gets to the point of a Best of...

I think this is going to be one of those songs that I can listen to being done again and again live with slight variation. The same as I listen to things like DLBIA, Slide Away, CNS, Wonderwall. I mean, I will have to wait a few years to see if it can keep regenerating itself and if Noel can manage to keep every preformance as fresh and relevant as the one I mentioned for an extended period of time. But half a decade later everytime I hear those songs it is like I am hearing them for the first time. I have aspirations that this song could join them on that level.

TDOYAM is more akin to TIOBI. I love TIOBI...but i have never felt the need to go and find the perfect live version. It always sounds great...but there isn't variation and their isn't a great depth of emotion. They are jaunty upbeat rock songs. They'll never reach that pinnacle place in my books and there is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing in BDI's catelogue A or B side that I will ever think about like that. I don't feel the need to go a search for that perfect rendition of FLW or TR despite thinking their both really good-great songs. Or even TBGO or Wigwam or TMS which as some common ones that others I know are gaga over.

It's special...

Best part:

I haven't even heard it yet on my $30,000 rig.

Certain it'll fly through the roof, then.

Ha, I'm not saying I'm Errol Flynn or anything like that, but surely my username alone trumps anything that cretin has ever posted ever as far as the charming quotient is concerned. Please, don't ever do that again.

This is such a well-written, wonderful song from Noel, but I HATE the production. Sardy really dropped the ball here. The production is very stadium-rock...which I don't think suits the song at all. It should be more acoustic-based, a bit more haunting like the soundcheck.

I can't really fault Noel much though because both the melody and lyrics are heartfelt and exceptional...he did what he was supposed to do as a songwriter. This song could just be a lot better for me stripped down, and I'm sure I'll enjoy the song more live.

Definitely one of the better songs he's written in a while. I like a lot more than DGA, SYCHO, GP, etc....so this album should be special =D

seriously guys, i prefer the soundcheck version,even the soundcloud version also, this song should have been a perfect slow "ballad" with violins, strings quartet,acoustic guitars and stuff like that like wonderwall , and it turned out in a mix of "forces of nature and falling down" arrangements .

the same happends with "waiting for the rapture" the demo version was awesome
too much "noise " for a melodic and lovely song with emotional lyrics.sincerely i`m a bit disappointment

dave sardy screwed up the song, where is owen morris!!!?
who the fuck is andy bellll!!! lol....

its still an "8" for me, but it should have been a "9" ....

wait for response....cheers.

if you really have that system you'll know it will sound shit, mp3s sound like tinny garbage when played though something of that caliber.

I REALLY wish the second 'ahhhh'-ahh' would've dropped like the sound check version. that's the bit i fell in love with initially.

still, 8/10.

Nice song, I think this is the direction Noel wanted to take with Oasis.

He did not just fucking write that did he? Fuck me pink. It's fucking amazing.

I like it, it's good, but it's kinda what I expected from Noel. I've never been too much into his ballads like this, so that's probably why I've always been more excited about the AA album.

That's just my first impression, I'd have to give it a few more spins before having a better verdict.

fuck me im blown fucking away 10/10

i dont care if its euphoria or whatever it did what its supposed to do

im punctuationless

too bad the quality of the recording is so bad

EDIT: found the link to the radio broadcast instead of the low quality youtube rip. That's something fucking special.
