I'm surprised by the negativity on here, I really like it. Granted it doesn't really change direction mid-song but it's different enough to be really exciting. I love the brass, Liam's vocals sound good and all in all I'm delighted they're back.

First listen, I have to listen to it many times...I feel like it goes nowhere, but the horn session is cool.

I was waiting for an explosive, anthem-esque chorus as we've come to know and love from our Gallaghers, which wasn't delivered. Because of such, I'm guessing it's an Andy song. The horns do fill the blanks nicely, though.
Horns are a dead ringer for "My Wife" by the Who, ain't they?
Production is GREAT. The song isn't the least bit boring, despite never culminating to much of anything. Considering we have rumors of a looong album (being inspired by All Things Must Pass, and all) then this is a wonderful appetizer to the eventual meal!
This is B-Side material, but it's a great "B-Side" song. If this ISN'T the single (I have my doubts, considering the rumor of a 4-track disk being spread about), then I'm even more excited for what Beady Eye has to deliver.
Liam and co. haven't found a "unique" sound, no, but they've found a GREAT sound. What do you guys want, really? For Liam and co. to invent a new genre? C'mon, be fair. If half the tracks on the record are this interesting, we're in for a treat!
A solid 8/10.

What do you guys want, really? How about a first single that sticks in your head and makes you want to listen to it more than once? Clearly too much to ask from these guys. At least Bring The Light was unique and had immense energy, this song has absolutely nothing going for itself. And to think that this is the best they can do for a first single is nothing short of shocking. Now I'm quite frightened to hear the rest of the record tbh. |

I can't believe you think Bring the Light was unique and that this song isn't. BTL is just a bad ripoff of Jerry Lee Lewis et al. And even though this song doesn't have a chorus, I prefer a solid verse melody without a chorus to the half-assed letdown choruses on DGSS (BTL, FLW, and TBGO being the most obvious examples of this). Anyway, this song basically does have a chorus. It's just an instrumental chorus. |

I like it and think it's a step ahead. It will sound great live. It's not an obvious verse verse chorus song, but that's a good thing. In the U.S. it won't get commercial radio play, but it was likely it wouldn't have even if it was the best song on the planet, so better to go with something distinctive. It reminds me of a period of time in music late 80s when some bands eschewed traditional/routine songs and instead created pieces evocative of moods and feelings. It takes balls to move away from the expected.

that was boring, i want tracks like FLW, The Roller, not this thing  I stated some time back that it'd be funny if the people that liked DGSS didn't like the new album and the people that didn't like DGSS liked the new one and i have feeling that's going to be the case.... God bless. well, actually i think DGSS is a shit álbum, but FLW and The Roller are two good songs. Flick of the Finger may be different in terms of production, but as a song it is as bad as most of DGSS is, it goes nowhere, dull and boring....so this is not going to be the case, speaking for myself though  |

Interesting... But if you strip away the cool production stuff there really isn't much of a song there.

On an acoustic, it'd be boring as fuck.
Also, my "C'mon guys" comment was asking about their SOUND. Choruses and melody are irrelevant if the sound of the song is muddy and unclear...but this is vibrant, clear, crystal.

This is a basically what i wanted.
I wanted something understated, rather than the typical Oasis/Beady Eye trying deperately hard to get your attention with a comeback single.
If Bring the Light was the loudest most OTT, attention seeking, average looking, peroxide fake blonde bird in bar that you can only enjoy after 8 beers then Flick of the Finger is a more assured, confident, cooler and classier better looking bird sitting in the corner drinking red wine and deliberately not drawing attention to herself and therefore infinitely more attractive. I know which i'd prefer to wake up to the next morning.
I'm glad it's not got a chorus, i'm glad Gefe is disappointed as it doesn't sound like The Roller, turn up the last minute and it sounds really quite epic.
Reminds me of Ian Brown's solo stuff a bit. I fear for Liam singing those opening lines live, it's pretty high in his range. But i don't care for now, i'm really pleasantly surprised.

God bless. Who doesn't enjoy a good flick of the finger? Right tomlivesforever?  Indeed. Having listened to it a bit more the this morning I'm still impressed. Gets better with repeated listens, the production is magnificent and Liam comes through loud and clear. Not surprised that a lot of people want verse, chorus, verse.....etc, but the instrumentation is the chorus and if I have that wrong I'm not bothered. A good song is a good song whatever its 'structure'. |

A good song is a good song whatever its 'structure'. Personally don't care about structure. I'm just disappointed the track doesn't go anywhere. Every time I listen to it, it just sounds like it's there. A song doesn't have to have a big chorus or be verse, chorus, verse, chorus, to be a good single in my opinion. But I do think it needs a drive/forward push and some type of hook. It's the difference between a good song and a good single. This is decent song with great production, but I don't know if it's a great or even a good single. I really like the sound, but the sound/polished product is the only thing I can really latch on to. I know Dennizz said this is the single, but for some reason I keep feeling as if this is a teaser, rather than an actual single. |

I saw you say not so long ago about a single carrying an album. A single should never have to do that. What is all this single stuff? 40 year old men releasing an album are unlikely to have a big single. I would rather an album that stood as a complete piece of work with a great feel to it than any single breaking into what is a chart filled with mostly turds. |

I can't believe people are still clinging on to the hope that Beady Eye gain commercial success. It's not happening, even if they came out with the best and catchiest song any of them have ever written.

I really don't get it especially as a lot of these people are from America where the is more chance of the second coming than Beady Eye making an impact. Its basically all about the album. |

Production : good
Voice : good
But where is the fucking tune, really. Its not even half a verse. Learn to write songs dudes, i mean, 3 songwriters between them and they can't even come up with a strong comeback single ? Sitek did a good job but it's really not a finished song.
OR
It's a song written for the ringtones generation.
Could it be just an album track ? I mean it sounds more like a good filler. we got no confirmation that this is the single right ? it could be from the 4 track promo floating around

Imagine this is the opener of a grander, lengthy album followed by fuller, more complete tunes that were produced by the same person who made this gold out of mere stone. This is not a single material for sure but thanks to the production this has so much potential to take an immense place in the full album. Thank you so much Sitek.

I thought that was fairly decent. As the OP said, nothing ground breaking but certainly a good tune. My only gripe being that there wasn't a proper solo in there, either brass or guitar. Just seemed to be the the same section on a loop. Promising intro to the album though.

Listened a few more times... It's good. The main thing for me is that it's different. It's not a single but I don't care about that. Beady Eye aren't ever going to get to arenas but I prefer it that way.

Nothing out of the ordinary. Strip away the horns and there's literally nothing else there and the drums sound bad. Something flat about them. Sure the production is good but I want a song not an example of good production. A good song is a good song regardless of how its produced. Case in point: Some Might Say.
The fucking quote at the end is too long and pointless. No need for it. The song is nearly four minutes long but sounds like it could be over in two.
Pass.
