I wonder if they will release the video of this like the Dying Of The Light?

This is a lovely song. Very beautiful. I will cherish it. It's amazing that this one is live!

Beautiful stuff. I hope Noel eventually properly records it for a future album. I could see this being a killer track with Masterplan style strings. Radiohead did it with True Love Waits and So should Noel. I cherish that song and I’m glad they eventually released a studio version.

I dunno, I love the new approach but this should have been an inter-album single or used in a high profile movie or something.
Add a cello or violin (only one I think) line to this and it could be huge.
Brilliant as it is though, glad he released it!

There's no way Mike improv'd that piano surely?

There's no way Mike improv'd that piano surely? He did. Noel said he was mentally wishing him to stop. Thank goodness he didn't. |

It's just not him being good (and he is), there's a great chemistry between him and Noel from a musical standpoint

There's no way Mike improv'd that piano surely? His playing here isn't that complex, plus given they've played hundreds of song performances together he knows the style his accompaniment and how it should fit e.g. not a million miles away from Rowe's part on the acoustic arrangement of Supersonic or Talk Tonight. |

Now that it's released, I doubt that Noel will ever re-record it. But IF he does - PLEASE NOT with Dave Sardy!

Both this and God Help Us All are definitely about Oasis/Liam. Is the feeling I get anyway. Gold Help Us All is actually quite an aggressive song, despite it being the usual Noel acoustic fare. It's a little like Standing On The Wrong Beach in that regard I guess. Though Dead In The Water is like the melancholic side of the same coin.

He wrote God Help Us All in 2005, so I wouldn't definitely say it was about Liam... Or at least, it wasn't about Liam in the sense of it would be if written in recent years. |

Can't really connect with this one, as is the case with most of Noel's solo stuff tbh

Lovely song. Noel's already invented his own niche genre with ballads like that. His melancholic voice and singing style, as simple as it might be, really carries it.
Funny thing is, while I know I should be listening to the album in sequence (2 run throughs yet, to early for an evaluation), I keep on skipping to Dead in the Water.

Right, have listened to this song all the way through at least 20 times now.
I'm now sitting at my desk at work and bawling like a fucking baby. That line where he talks about trying to fix the hole in his head where the rain gets in.
In my head, I picture him sitting on a stool at an mid-90s gig with just a guitar and a spotlight on him (no Mike Rowe). Liam's sitting on the drum riser with a bottle of water, staring at him in the dark. It's amazing and I'm really sorry for getting so emotional about this one.
I agree with the previous poster who said that the engineer is the real hero here. The echo that's in Noel's voice is something even he said sounded good in that BBC interview. I really don't want Noel to do a studio version of this because I'm afraid that it'll get 'Sardy-ied' like If I Had A Gun did. This is perfect in every single possible way.

After listening to the entire album, it fits nowhere. I kinda like it as a bonus track. But now I can see that the Oasis days/references are way behind in the last albums.
I really like the new direction the album has gone to. And this track is not like that. It's the same old stuff, but not as good as other tracks, like Dying of the Light for instance.
I can see why Noel left this as it is.

It's better than that. I don't dislike what U2 have done but Dead In The Water is completely Noel doing his own thing. |

I can analyze and debate music all day long but sometimes a song, no matter what the production, just hits you right in the soul. This is one such song.

An absolute stunner. I was skeptical--that this would be a sub-Dying of The Light rehash (don't think Dying of the Light is anything more than a pretty good song). But it is beautiful.
Seems wasted as a live take bonus track, but let's face it, Noel probably would have botched this in the studio somehow.
