Riverman. Probably the best tune (with If I Had a Gun) NG has written since TIOBI.
EOTR is a classic, though.
Top, top tunes. Would have been on my Stop the Clocks, all three of them.

I never quite liked EOTR. Too choiry, lacks sharpness.
Riverman on the other hand is fresh as fuck.

They're both great songs and definitely among Noel's finest since BHN.
I'll go with EOTR: the album version may be a bit overdone but it's massive at gigs and it sounds superb in acoustic (the demo and the Mastertapes performance are incredibly good).

A little advantage for EOTR at the moment. The next game will be an equilibrate Dream On vs In The Heat of the Moment.

Riverman, they're both beautiful and cinematic though. But I usually listen to EOTR when I'm in a bad mood. Chasing Yesterday in general is my chill out environment in comparison.

Everybody's On The Run.
As an opening track, this has much more power and more of a presence.
Riverman for me is the most overrated HFB tune there is. That's not to say it's a bad song, but it's the most bland, plodding song on the album. Just drags on forever. I genuinely think that it sounds like a Sardy production.

Everybody's on the Run
Especially when you put it in Audacity, lift the pitch a tick, export it, and then take that to listen to, because it really shows the beautiful grandiose of the song.

Wow. I seriously thought I would be against the norm (for once). Nope. For I, too, went with Everybody's On the Run.

EOTR makes me feel inspired, but Riverman while it's a great song, just feels exactly that, a great song. "Hang in there love, you gotta hold on!" is an amazing lyric for an explosive chorus. If any song could be labeled as being anything near a DLBIA Part 2, it's EOTR.
Plus EOTR has been out for years, as a demo/soundcheck, then on the album, and is one of few songs on HFB1 that Sardy got right with the production. People also don't from what I've seen don't get amped for Riverman live, like with EOTR. EOTR just screams classic for me.

Just looking at their roles as openers, EOTR is better at getting you primed up for the rest of the songs, but Riverman is better at setting the mood specific to the album. EOTR grabs you, but you're left almost expecting a better Be Here Now and instead you get a pop tune here, a rocker there, etc. The bluesy feel of Riverman sticks with you for the rest of the album.
EOTR with that grandiose booming choir is the best Noel's done at opening an album since RnRS, but as a song overall I'd say Riverman edges out.

Fantastic production on "Riverman". Very unique for a Noel Gallagher song. On the flip side, "Everybody's On The Run" is a great song that suffers from over production at the top. That slap stick echo effect is way too much Nickelback for my liking. I shutter sometimes in disgust for a cheap frill like that.

For sentimental reasons I'll pick 'Rivermãn' - that's the song I lost my virginity to.
God bless.

Tough tough choice as I love both of them so so much and I always remember where I was when I both listened to the pair of them.
They're both almost impossible to compare though - Everybody's On The Run signified, for me at least, that Noel's habit for an anthem hadn't passed him by, because when you come to think of it, there was actually no anthems on Don't Believe The Truth and Dig Out Your Soul, and for me, it topped the anthems of Heathen Chemistry (Stop Crying and Little by Little). So when I heard the grandiose nature of this tune first time, I was thrilled.
Riverman is effortlessly cool by comparison though and I love the low key sung verses which is something a bit different from Noel, and that guitar solo and the saxaphone really makes the song soar. And it's unexpected which adds to the surprise.
But.... I will probably edge towards Everybody's on the Run, simply for the live factor. I didn't see Noel this tour, but I saw him in Glasgow in February 2012, and after a deliberately low key opening with obscure b-sides and Oasis album cuts (well, to the general crowd who were with me), this song was third on the list and it really got the attention of the crowd and lit up the atmosphere. Everyone around me sang it like it was an age-old classic and it really set in stone how successfully his solo career was going because it wasn't a song that was undermined by the old classics as is per usual for artists at a similar stage in their career to Noel.

This x100 Overall I think EOTR may be the better song but this comment shows just what bugs me about it. Way to over dramatic, even for an anthem. |

I thoroughly agree with all of this. Lyla is the only song I can think of as being an anthem from Don't Believe the Truth, but Everybody's on the Run possesses a grandiose nature that can't quite be topped, imo. I truly believe that if it had been recorded for an Oasis album & released as a single, the song would've been a #1 hit. Such a strong tune.  |
