While it’s decent, it’s a b-side for me (at least in current form). So that’s a no.
Although it’s better than ABWR, not that hard to do, mind.

No.
Noel wouldn't have let Liam sing this one
And I doubt Liam would have wanted to sing it.
3 and a Half Noel Vocals on DBTT was Heresy enough.
All in all its a typical Acoustic Noel song 3/5

It's better than most of the songs on the record, but no.

No, I wouldn't have included it on any album. I think this is the best kind of release for this song.

Nah. I don't think it would really fit Liam's voice and Noel had enough songs on that album. And it's not up to par with anything from it either.

It should've been the closer on HFB#1 instead of Stop The Clocks

I say yes. Would need a bit of a tracklist change. I'd swap it out for mucky fingers as never liked that one and it's a bit too much of a VU ripoff. Then would have to blanace the ballad/slowness of don't stop by with another lively tune and have a 12 track album. Maybe the roller or something similar

Should have been a b-side.

No, almost every song on the album is better (even some bside is better than don't stop imo).

No, unless DBTT was a double record.

There's a strong chance 'Don’t Stop...' wasn't even about during the session of DBTT. People have jumped to this conclusion due to the following quote:
What I assume people have done is '2020 - 15 years = DBTT'. Could it have been around back then? Possibly, but likewise it could have been recorded a number of years later. There is zero evidence is was around back then and people should base any speculation on such.
First let me fact check Noel's quote. There were two versions of 'Don't Stop..' "out there". Both are fan recordings of Noel performing the song live during soundcheck. The first was on the 3rd of March 2009 at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris, France and the second was on the 7th of April 2009 at AsiaWorld Arena in Hong Kong. So when Noel said "about 15 years ago" he actually meant 11 years ago after 'Dig Out Your Soul' was released. What other unreleased songs was he soundchecking in 2009? To my knowledge 'Everybody On the Run', 'If I Had a Gun', 'A Simple Game Of Genius' and 'Stop the Clocks'. With the exception of 'Stop the Clocks' all these other songs are new.
Anyone tying it to the undated 'Record Machine' and 'Stop the Clocks demos are hanging the idea off very little in my opinion.

It certainly has that DBTT DNA to it but I’ve got a feeling it’s a song he wrote and demoed between DBTT and DOYS. This might be one of the 6-7 songs he has written prior to going to Abbey Road to make DOYS. A bunch of those got disregarded as Noel entered a purple patch of songwriting. The Shock of The Lightning and Falling Down likely torpedoed the more “Noel by the numbers” track. Plus Noel got obsessed with that “grooves” concept. Yeah it grooves Noel till about track 8 and then farts. |

It would certainly fit the concept of the album, being entirely mediocre.

No. It's a nice song, but a good Noel B-side, and that's okay.

Yea, DBTT had one really high high (Idle), some really good songs (POTQ, Lyla, TUTS), a good song (Abel), and some that teter on being pretty good but lack that full potential (KTDA, LTBL), but when you have three songs that feel like straight-up filler (ABWR, LLAB, TMOS), that's a problem no matter how good that filler may be. I enjoy Love Like a Bomb, though, for its beautiful summer-y vibesbut I just wish ABWR had been replaced by Pass Me Down the Wine or Boy With the Blues and The Meaning of Soul with Eyeball Tickler, since those feel like more complete songs and would've served the album better. (Forgot Mucky Fingers, that's an alright tune too. A shame Lord Don't Slow Me Down didn't make it though. That song rocks with Liam on vocals.) |

Could have been the song to come in after 30 minutes of silence after Let There Be Love if that kind of thing was still going on.
If it had been a b-side, what would have been the 4th single? Was there any chance of any of the other songs on DBTT going even top 5 after the 3 singles?

Yeah it grooves Noel till about track 8 and then farts. Whilst I don't disagree it sounds too middle of the road for us to categorize with any kind of degree of certainty. Noel was writing this sort of stuff for a long period of time. I think we can agree 2002-2009 (DBTT, DOYS, Post-DOYS) is the net but like I said earlier the fact of the matter is that the only date we have for it is 2009 and that should be respected.

It wouldn't have made any difference if this appeared on that album or not. The song is shoddy, dull, and a far cry from Noel's great B side acoustics, and appearing on their worst album which also happens to be shoddy and dull wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference.
The only thing that would rescue DBTT would be to scrap every song entirely and start again.

The only song I reckon it could replace is Let There Be Love which I really don't like. It would need Liam singing it though and Noel didn't really seem to trust Liam's voice by that stage.

If not on the Let There Be Love single it would've made a decent b.side on one of their Dig Out Your Soul singles rather than one of those remixes. |
