If it wasn't Noel, I can't imagine giving it the time of day. It's okay but okay isn't good enough when there's lots of other great music out there. I expect Noel's music to be special because he's an amazing songwriter and this is average at best.

I like it, it's a cool song.
It's got a nice vibe, and the tell me that you want it yeah yeah gets stuck in my head.
Not classic Noel, but way better then Holy Mountain imo.
Wish he'd play this and Blue moon rising live, and stops playing the first 4 or 5 moon songs live like last 5 years.

I expect Noel's music to be special because he's an amazing songwriter and this is average at best. I think we could say that about a lot of Gallagher-related stuff released in the last few years though. The fact is they've earned their fanbase and that their fanbase at least gives their music the time of day now. I'm sorry, but there's no way Liam's last album gets to number one if it's anyone but Liam, and frankly no chance most of us would listen to BSD etc if it wasn't Noel - but it was Liam and Noel so we did listen and enjoyed (to varying degrees). |

I hope so, then it will drive away the section of the fanbase who are knuckle dragging yobbos for good. He'll still run into them at the football. These days he really only looks down on them from the luxury of his private box.Unwashed knuckle draggers are good for creating an atmosphere at the game-but you dont want to be sitting among them if you can help it. |

Sounds alright to me to be honest, decent Noel solo effort. The video on the other hand is not doing the song any favours. [br Reeks of a furter attempt to divest himself of the 'parka monkeys' who he see's as beneath him.Cos he hangs around with likes of Brand and has a French woman playing scissors in his band-who offers absoloutely nothing to the overall sound.It's not edgy-getting a little boring now.Now if Noel had dragged up himself ala his new hero Bowie that wouldve been edgier.Would music critics salivate over Bowie quite so much if he hadn't dabbled in androgeny?They seem to really get off on that facet of his persona. Now the uber lad joins the party-late in the day and done to death as it's become.  Who would have thought? |

Woah that was unexpected. I listened to it yesterday and didn't like it all. Thought it had the world's most boring melody.
I listened to it again today on the subway and couldn't stop listening. Really like it now, especially the instrumentals. I think the beauty of it is the simple melody interplaying with the intricate strings/piano. Very groovy.
Keep in mind I am someone who dislikes most of Noel's solo discography, especially WBTM. But I would give this song a 7 or 8 now. Guess I'm still a sucker for Noel and strings.
Also, as someone who usually doesn't like Noel's voice, I like his vocals in this song. There's none of that strained wailing stuff he usually does in choruses, so good for him. Am starting to get excited for his new album.

Imagine you own record label and some new band come to you with this song. I would tell them to fuck off, learn how to play and write songs and then come back.

The more loud I play this tune, the more I enjoy it. Noel vocals are really great, acoustic guitar also very good, but the bass is just killer, very agressive. Love how the song starts a bit slow but keeps evolving til "I make your dreams come true", then bangs again.
Personally I think there's a lot of Chasing Yesterday vibes on it, but fresher. Definitely a grower. The best thing I did today was put the song in my speakers right after I woke up. Yeah yeah...

One of the worst parts about Noel Gallagher. He wrote amazing songs with Oasis. He then broke up the group, decided most of the Oasis cannon is for parka losers. And then tried to suggest all those awful EPs and the last album were somehow better than BHN. Lol. Ok. Not to mention the cultural impact oasis had. He just hates that part of his story. Sad sad

Sad sad I don't think he hates, he just wants to live the present and his actual life, not the past. Knowing his fanbase, that's not simple. At least half of Oasis fans want him to do something for them meanwhile he wants to do something for his own. You have the right to not enjoy or not following what he does. |

I think that Oasis will always be important to both Noel and Liam. It was their band and they'll never forget that. |

First impression. Really don't like it. It's pretty sparse and the melody didn't even stick out to me. If he did it more rocked up in the style of Chasing Yesterday I'm sure I'd love it. As it is I'm preparing for another let-down Noel album after the trash of The Man Who Built the Moon and "sometimes great/sometimes awful"-ness of the EP tracks. Hopefully the album is great and this becomes a sleeper for me but as it is....yea, very disappointed.  |

His job is the entertain me. My job is to decide if it’s entertaining enough to spend money on that entertainment. If I want vintage Oasis that’s where I’ll spend $. Given Liam’s success echoing Oasis’ past, I’d say I’m with the majority of declaring where we will and won’t spend our entertainment $$. Noel is rich enough not to care. I’m independent enough not to pretend his latest effort is good enough for many to care. |

It’s why I believe Marr is also way over rated. Like Noel, his prime is literally legendary. But also like Noel, he is no longer overly interesting. It’s ok. Artists rarely stay on their game. |

It's always weird to me when either Gallagher's solo material gets compared to "vintage/classic Oasis".
Neither of them has ventured too close to that sound, IMO. For me, vintage Oasis is an abandon of distorted guitars with pop melodies sang in a rock snarl over the top. Liam's stuff is general radio-rock and Noel's is most often the kind of adult-alternative you'd expect from a talented songwriter in his autumn years. Liam obviously stays more in the same ball-park but the amount of times their music gets compared with the 1994-1998 sound feels like people think Stand By Me / DLBIA type tracks were the definition of those years, rather than like the likes of Some Might Say or Supersonic. For me, the guitar-swirl was the rule, not the exception.
I still remember For What it's Worth being described as the most "Oasis-y" track on Liam's debut, and thought that was a sad indictment of something, even though it was hard to tell just what.

I personally think a lot of people are mourning the loss of their youth by yelling about the music they listened to when they were young.
