However, the song itself has massively grown on me. Never had an experience like it with music before. My favourite Gallagher release since Oasis. This. Incredible how much it has grown. Still can't stop playing it. |

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 closer. 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 closer 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. Just imagine noel having a little dance to the song in front of liams house "yes i found you yes i found you yes i found you" like pointing with the finger to the door  |

I think it's "If I've got to be" and "who" because I definitely hear a "who"

And isn't it "strike up the band for ONE LAST STAND" ?

I'm on the side of "if I got to be the man" as well. Also maybe "strike up the band for one last stand".

I thought it was "in the heat or the rain I'll call your name". It might be "in the heat of the rain" though. It's hard to tell.

At least this lyrics question will eventually be answered once the lyric sheet is released. Unlike that line in Do The Damage which seems eternally destined to be a mystery. |

I think it's "If I've got to be" and "who" because I definitely hear a "who" I guess the accent is throwing me off. I hear something completely different. Although, 'who' is clear on the second chorus. |

I hate to be the guy that doesn't search the thread, but when will we be hearing Revolution Song? Not until Feb 23rd? And is there an existing audio version of this yet without all the music video banter? Thanks.

Hey I know my name is The Chief but it's just a forum username!  I don't hear the end of the word "dance" either but it made more sense that "stand". |

After being initially underwhelmed, and having gave this song multiple listens, I absolutely love it. It's dark, atmospheric, has an interesting structure which works well in the context of the whole song (production, etc), and above all it has a certain 'maturity' to it. Noel has went somewhere different and has absolutely succeeded in my opinion.

I've made an edit of Mighty I for those who feel it might be too long and repetitive and are therefore not currently enjoying it...
Will post soon once it's uploaded.

I think instead of "In the heat of the rain, I will call your name" it should've been "I'll be calling your name in the pouring rain". But whatever.

Took out the build up of (I'll find you) in the second and third chorus. Normally, it goes "I'll find you...if I got to be the man that walks the Earth, I'll find you....If I got to be the man that walks the earth alone" |

Bits and pieces of the verses kind of sound like "Underneath the Sky" to me.
