I really wouldn't make any assumptions based on those pictures... it could be a really dark video, and Mischa was bursting into laughters during breaks... what I mean is, could be any song... I would really be surprised if it was a fifth single, Noel was against a fifth single in DM (!)... I think it would make sense to be one of the B-sides to promote Songs From North... I would be really glad if it was Let The Lord Shine A Light On Me, cos the song is amazing and deserves the proper appreciation.... in other hand, it was The Good Rebel I would lost all my faith in Noel.Alone On A Rope as a stand alone single would be a great surprise as well.... I was with you until the bit in bold. Why would he want to promote a limited vinyl that isn't available to buy anywhere other than independent record shops that has already pretty much sold out? Also, all 4 songs have already been released in other forms. Would be an awful waste of money on his behalf to make a video for a B-Side. Correct. But I do agree that Noel's past history has said that he almost never does 5th singles to any album. Except MG.

I'm suppose to be doing some headshots for a friend this weekend up in downtown LA, usually when a video for a band is being shot, crew tend to playback the song. If theyre still shooting come saturday, I'll see if I can get a listen as to which vid their shooting. Shouldn't be to hard.

Morning Glory didn't have 5 proper singles though. I mean there's six tracks in total that were released as singles but no more than 4 in the same country. Radio singles don't count, IMO, though might just me being English

"You can't have five (singles) off a debut album" - Noel Gallagher, 2006 People seem to be ignoring the possibility that this would be a non-UK single or a US Only single thus it wouldn't be a 5th single even if it was a track from the album.

Forget about the money, its obvious that they payed for the "bundle" of 5 videos already, its no like they payed for 4 with some of the same actors and possibly director, and all of a sudden they are making a fifth video without planning it before just because "the album is doing better than expected".

I don't think they would've planned for five singles for an album nobody expected to do this well. Another theory is that they planned to do a video for the AA album now (which would be consistent with the original plan for its release) and they're using that scheduling slot for something else.

Oh well, I didn't actually know that it was so limited.... anyway, tks for the info mate... kind of hard to keep tabs on every news these days...

I don't think that would be cost effective, his singles don't do well enough here. I agree, it would be a bad idea (unless they have a strong feeling the song can make an impact in the US). I'm just saying, that if the video is for EOTR or another album track, it doesn't mean it's a '5th Single'. It could be only for markets outside of the UK (like the US). I do agree with you, a video from the album wouldn't really be a good idea though unless there is something about the video that has viral potential.

Noel's biggest market is the UK. He'd be foolish to release a single that wasn't released there nowadays.

Videos surely aren't worth making these days if pure not releasing at least something?
Could be to promote a DVD but you'd think they would just go down the live video route of tht was the case

I mean, I dont even know if its a fair comparison, but its the only one I got from Noel, is it going better than the last few Oasis albums which had three singles each?

My prediction is that its a new stand alone single + 1 B-Side AND/OR Its a deluxe album with a bonus disc containing the 4 B-Sides, the 2 UNKLE remixes + 1 maybe 2 new songs. A bit like Lady Gaga's The Fame/Monster but with less new tracks.

Its around the same sales for DOYS IIRC. To even be around those figures is more than anyone expected.

Exactly, it might be more than anyone expected, but if the sales are close to DOYS, why woudn't have him bothered to release five singles for DOYS?

i wasn't expecting too much more promotion from this album. so if we get a new video or one new b-side it's a bonus.

Because DOYS under preformed and it wasn't worth releasing more singles. It sold what it was going to sell and the majority of gigs were sold out. HFBs have over performed and there are still gigs and festivals to promote. If he does it right he could shift a few more copies of HFBs yet.

What if its just a video for broken arrow? Would be nice, i know the chance is not really big, but i really like AKA Broken Arrow, i don't care how many singles you can get of a debute CD but Broken Arrow and Everbody is On The Run both deserve to be a single and have a video clip IMO.

Mind boggling why Dream On was a single... it's shite compared to Everybodys on the run.
I can see the appeal to an average music fan with EOTR.

Im not saying they could've planned 5 singles, but 5 videos, whether its a single, ep, etc I mean, the album was released in October. They know they wil be touring at least a year, which includes summer festivals and more dates after that. They will have nothing to promote but the album itself.

Good guess. Like they used LDSMD to promote the DBTT tour movie!
Could be that they'll use Freaky Teeth to promote that since there will be a live version of it on the DVD anyway...it's not like they can keep it under wraps at this point. It's been on the BBC live broadcast.
