Who cares about a video? The song isn’t going to blow up in any way so there’s no point. It’s hardly Wonderwall.

Listened to it again for the first time in a few days this morning.
I really do like the chorus. And I like how the song really clicks into gear heading into the second chorus.

I do like how it progresses into the inclusion of an orchestra, but it feels a little jarring how quickly it happens. Only negative thing I have to say about the song tbh.

I do like how it progresses into the inclusion of an orchestra, but it feels a little jarring how quickly it happens. Only negative thing I have to say about the song tbh. I have a fair few negatives tbf. I do think it feels along the lines of someone reading an 'Oasis songs for dummies' book and coming up with what they thought an Oasis/LG anthem should sound like. I felt the same with FWIW. And really, they come out sounding nothing like an Oasis song anyway - just the vague public perception. End of the day, it's why Bold and Greedy Soul and the songs Liam penned on his own still ring out as my favourites from AYW, because he just writes how he knows, not to any particular format. That's not to say I don't think Liam should use writers. I have no issue at all with it. It's just my honest opinion. The lyrics - I don't get caught up on the lyrics in any song too much but, like Chinatown, I think the lyrics in the verses here are borderline, tbh. But, Liam pulls it through and the chorus is really soaring. I think it ends too quick after the third chorus. It feels like it should carry on. But then again, maybe that's one part of the song that doesn't fall into the 'Oasis for dummies' format? P.S. This is not me saying anyone who loves Once is dumb, btw! I like the tune. I just think it's a pretty decent one (after initially thinking it was great), but nothing extraordinary.

i wish the original sounded like this There is more don't-give-a-fuck-alright rock 'n' roll attitude in this video than all of Heathen Chemistry. #fact

To anyone moaning about the production of the song: How can you possibly listen to 'Definitely Maybe' without bleeding ears? You can’t be serious? Definitely Maybe works with the raw and reckless sound, that’s the point. This is straight up MOR, nothing more nothing less.

It's hard for me to accept that Once is fading away from itune charts n in the shadow of a new single... Such a waisted oppurtunity... That tuneeee... Need a push in every possible way... Need a chance, a way to be heard properly from the mainstream...

Am I alone in slightly going off Once? I can't remember the last time I listened to it to be honest.
Yes it's a good song, yes the lyrics are good and musically the verse and choruses work well but that instrumental 'once' part kills the song for me and I now cannot wait for one of us

I’ll take that over Charlotte shouting in French for almost a minute.

Looks like the hype is slowly fading away and people are starting to realize the song is not as good as people made out.
I laughed out loud when some people think Once is the best song from any Gallagher project. I don't have to go any further, just compare it with This Is The Place and it's not even close in quality. Don't even think about comparing it to songs like While the Song Remains the Same, If I Had A Gun, Dead in the Water, Alone on the Rope, to a name a few. Not even comparable.

You are right in all the other songs you mention from a Gallagher (with the exception of If I Had A Gun, that is a bit on the beige side). But This Is The Place is nothing to write home about, and not better than Once. It might have a good groove, but it goes absolutely nowhere. Miles behind of the level of Rattling Rose, It's a Beautiful World and TMWBTM from this new direction of Noel. I do agree the hype might have faded away, even for me it has, but Once is a quality tune.

Once is certainly not as musically adventurous This Is The Place but it does have a better chorus and really good vocal from a better singer. If I Had A Gun, that phrase has come to mean 'Songwriter on autopilot'

It's pretty much music by the numbers in that genre.

This is coming from a Liam "fanboy"..please don't compare his new single to If I had a gun, that's one of his greatest tunes. Especially that rehearsal version. Beautiful song.

It's a good song but the best song from any Gallagher project? No way. I actually prefer the chorus on This is the Place to Once. It's catchier and more energetic. Each to their own.

Well maybe thats exactly what they think, how long do you think they should go about it for? You would expect a dance influenced track to more energetic than a ballad, something would be a bit wrong if it wasn't.

It's not about the case of how long they should go about it for, but it's about making such a big statement. What I meant about energetic is the way Noel sings it. I just feel Liam's vocals aren't as strong as it was on As You Were. He sounded tired and lacked the cutting edge in my opinion. This is only my personal opinion and I'm just being honest.

I'm not questioning your right to an opinion. If you think that many grossly overated Once then give me something that shows that. Noel's vocal in my opinion is the worst thing about the song.

Once is a great song, probably the best thing Liam has done so far in his solo career. To me its up there with the best Oasis song he wrote on the shitty DOYS album - I'm Outta Time, the only decent thing on that album.
If some of the other songs are half as good as Once on Liam's new album, then we're in for a treat.

I admire your obsession n the time you spend here for these "b sides"... N also I feel sympathy for you, to live in a world that people appreciate more these b sides than the rickymartinssocalleddpseudoexperimental A'sides... BTW Trolling never been so funny...especially with your desperation's touch.. Thank u for your contribution to the Liam s forum...
