"What did I think of Jay-Z doing “Wonderwall”? It was pretty funny. But I’m not sure one should be seen in public with a white Stratocaster." Noel Gallagher. Fast forward 7 years... Noel is playing a cream start though, not a white one. |

I NEARLY PISSED IN MY PANTS WHEN I SAW THAT LINK! Okay, that was NOT what I was expecting. Those few seconds sound good. Love the bass and piano. It sounds a bit dancey but not completely in the same vein as What A Life! I'm looking forward to the rest of the song. I wonder what the chorus will be like. Instead of "What a Liiiiiiiiiiiii - iiiiiiiiiiiiii - iiiiiiiiiife" it goes "Mighty Iiiiiiiiiiii - iiiiiiiiiiii - iiiiiiiiiii". You heard it here first... this still has me laughing! Mighty iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Mighty iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Wuhoooooo Wuhooooooo epic post |

At the end of the song the director mistakenly refers to Noel as Liam, perhaps you could include that in your theory Beady Eyed Pigeon?

Right, you made me do this. It's about Liam. Oasis will reform within the next two years, after Noel gets a break from touring Chasing Yesterday. There will be no third NGHFB album because of this. In December 2017, find this thread, and call me Nostra-fucking-damus. Cheers....Followed you down to the end of the world Wait outside your window Here in the rain I'll call your name But you just passed me by ^End of the World is either the end of Oasis, or the end of BDI, or both (depending on when song was written). It's "raining" on Liam's career. It's also "raining" on Noel - the end of Oasis really hurt Noel (This we DO know), and Noel wants to revive the band and stop the rain. Noel may have tried to save him and offered to reunite the band on his terms (and we may not know about this publicly), but Liam just ignored him - for reasons that aren't explicit in the song. You put me up like a fly on the wall You need a plane when the halos fall Give me a sign if you hear me at all You just pass me by ^Noel's the fly on the wall, watching Liam in BDI, but BDI has fallen. He's asking Liam for a sign, but Liam continues to ignore him.Colours around me are fading away And I'll be waiting come what may I'll find you Yes I'll find you Yes I'll find you ^Noel is telling Liam he's ready to reunite Oasis. The "colors" and joy of NGHFB's are ebbing away - just look at the Press Release Interview back in the fall, Noel is tiring of being solo. He's asking Liam to give him a sign, and the reunion will finally be imminentIf I gotta be the man that walks the earth alone Followed the stars and sailed to the sun And held them in my fingers Alone on the beach On my own out of reach But you just passed me by ^Noel is just waxing lyrical - he's trying everything but Liam continues to ignore his advances, even though deep down Liam wants what Noel wants. The brotherly feud is evident with the constant refrain of "You just passed me [Noel] by."I'll give you the world if you take my hand But you left me alone in the sinking sand Strike up the band for one last stand But you just passed me by Show me the rules of the games you play And I'll be waiting come what may and I'll find you ^Noel's ready to guide Liam and Oasis once again ["Give you the World if you take my (Noel's) hand"]. Noel reminding Liam that it was Liam who ended the band (left Noel in the "sinking sand") with his antics and plum throwing hobby. But Noel is engaging again, but wants to know the rules that the ever-youthful Liam wants to play by. But no matter what, Noel is ready, and will be waiting, as he finds Liam to push on with Oasis.Yes I'll find you Yes I'll find you Yes I'll find you If I gotta be the man that walks the earth alone I'll find you Yes I'll find you Yes I'll find you ^Noel is clearly fucking devoted to finding Liam. This much is clear.
If I gotta be the man that walks the earth alone Followed you down to the end of the world Wait outside your window Here in the rain I'll call your name But you just passed me by Every word I'll be on your tail Whenever you're hiding behind your veil I'll find you ^Behind the "veil" - whether that's Pretty Green, BDI, or any other project, Noel will still find Liam, and save him from himself and reunite Oasis to all of this forums de-fucking-light.
Yes I'll find you Yes I'll find you If I gotta be the man that walks the earth I'll find you Yes I'll find you Yes I'll find you If I gotta be the man that walks the earth alone ^Noel's on a mission, the man is clearly not lazy.
And this song is the closure. Soldier On marked the end of Oasis. DGSS was about Liam continuing beyond Oasis. And The Ballad of the Mighty Eye (and "Chasing Yesterday", overall) marks the end of NGHFB's and the reunion of Oasis. I would say the clues are in the stars, but that's a fucking lie -- the clues are in the god damn song!! It being the closure just validates this theme further. And, moreover, it ties in with the title of the album: Chasing Yesterday, as in chasing back Oasis, chasing why the reasons Oasis ended, chasing how things could have been handled differently, and chasing Oasis and bring it back. Oasis is about to return. Ye ship is now steady. Good times ahead. AND DON'T GET ME FUCKING STARTED ON THE VIDEO.  |

I bought the track off Google Play last night around 12:10 AM EST time. Not too bad. I'm going to order the special edition vinyl as well (if it is still available on Thursday...) Haven't found it on Google Play yet...shame. |

Alright, heard the song plenty of times and have managed to read most of this thread, not in one go, that would be mad. So here goes:
1. Love the song. It's gets better with every listen so it's a real grower. The bass is great, enjoy the piano. Think Johnny Marr s bit is perfect. Subtle but fits the song perfectly and it's give it a perfect touch. Plus you notice it's him right away. What a dude. Lyrics are pretty interesting. It's great to see Noel moving forward with his sound. It was about time. Still shocked to read so many negative comments about it. I read people on here whining about how derivative Noel's songs are at times and then he changes things up a bit and your still not happy. No pleasing some people I guess.
2. Someone said it was a great song for walking, spot on! Heard it a few times on the headphones today walking down the street and it was a great experience, haha. Particularly JM guitar solo. By the way, people who have said the solo is shit and barely recognize it as such, what the fuck are you expecting a slash like solo?? Really...
3. Video is pretty decent actually. One the best in a long time. The whole dialogue thing is pretty funny.
4. The red pants, fucking terrible. Really Noel? Looks like your wife is dressing you!
5. I'm going to assume that whole lyrical analysis that went down a few pages back in this thread is meant to be ironic or a joke...
6. It's on Spotify in Chile if anyone gives a shit.
Cheers

The song is not about Liam. Or Oasis. Or a renuinion.
There is a song about Liam on there (in my opinion, I don't know for sure) but you'd never guess it by the title.

Whoever said this song needs to be listened to with a good pair of headphones is right. The bass drives the song along like a strong current, and I enjoy how the guitar doesn't overpower the rest of the track because it could have easily done. I purchased the song on Amazon and I listened to it while walking around the office, and it's a track you walk in stride to but with a swagger..lookin livid. lol. Whoever came up with the idea for the video must've felt the same way when they heard it!

This track is getting silly! Everytime I listen it just gets bigger and bigger!!! This. A thousand times, this. I'm astonished how strong Noel's song writing has been since DBTT, and it's only gotten progressively better. The man is on top, top form. Ace. |

Nearly 500k views on Youtube Is that good? For comparison's sake Taylor Swift's videos are doing these numbers on YouTube. Shake It Off - 470 million views (4 months) Blank Space - 341 million views (2 months) Such a babe. |

Just as Noel was regaining his form in Oasis he was allowing LAG to contribute far too many songs each album. We all complain of this and it's one of Noel's biggest crimes in Oasis Mach II. |

The over-analysis of this song in this thread is astonishing.
However, the song itself has massively grown on me. Never had an experience like it with music before. My favourite Gallagher release since Oasis.
