Can't really fathom how anybody thinks this is 'dull', tbh.
The crescendo at the end and the way it builds up is brilliant. So joyful.

Have you taking PED’s and then listen to the song? God bless. I only take water, coffee and sometimes a bit of Pespi. A few beers. Orange Juice. That's it. Say no to drugs, kids. Alcohol is a PED, so is caffeine…..and, for the record, Coke is better than Pepsi. God bless.

I think it will go very well in the concerts and even do relatively well in the charts, because this is the Noel that the non diehards like.
I like the song a lot. The chorus is maybe not as obvious as Little by little, but is GREAT. The best one he has made in some time.
Yes he is not reinventing the wheel, but give me at least one of this kind of songs once per album cycle.

Song gets better after a few listens. 2 very good tracks already, this album is shaping up very well.

God bless. I knew you would say that. There's a debate ! I'd say it depends on what kind of... I drink soft coffee, mainly only for taste, even decaf. I does not enhance my performances. Most people dont even call it coffee, because it does nothing to them. As for beer, one 33cl beer isn't exactly PED. I rarely go more than that, because it makes my belly full of fat I sometimes drink Pepsi, sometimes Coke, by the way. I'd say Pepsi is PED, because it has way more caffeine than Coke. At this point, Coke is no stronger than water. I suspect they dont even put caffeine in it anymore. And it's all no sugar for me. To sum up, i will try that song with a Pepsi then, by your recommandation. But if you need PED to enjoy a song, it's not a good sign on its quality...

The "I saw you up and down the lane" at the start of the chorus is just a brilliant hook

It's grown on me, I like the structure of it most, a bit like TIOBI where the solo is a bit earlier in the song than it usually is for Noel.

I really like it. Had a nice walk down a city street yesterday with the sun in my face listening to it over and over. It went down really well.

Feels like he's perfected what he was trying to achieve with a few of his more recent releases here. This will sound brilliant when the album is (finally) released in the summer. The production is bland but the melody itself is so strong that it shines through anyway. 8 on 10.

It has grown on me. I listened to it a couple of times yesterday but the melody stuck with me for all day today.
I still think it's too generic though, a classical Noel ballad by numbers. And the drums do sound shit: it's the same awful stomp that Noel seems to like in this kind of tunes.

I feel we sometimes give some Oasis songs too much credit.
Is it wrong of me to say that I like this song more than let's say Little By Little?
Sonically I do... I feel like if this was on The Hindu Times and Noel released Little By Little yesterday we would be saying Easy Now is better..

Any taste in music is okay, valid and wrong at the same Time Although I’d say those songs have an early 00s sound to it that is unique. Even if not their best work This new one doesn’t sound like anything unique. It’s generic. Can’t say HT or LBL have a generic sound. They have the HC sound But again that’s just my opinion.

I never liked Little By Little. Wandering Star was disappointing. Easy Now is miles better

Little By Little's pre chorus is just amazing in my opinion. The verses are not up to much but its all saved by that pre chorus and chorus. There's a reason it's had that staying power. They are them truly one off moments.
This song is great though. Lot more to it than just the oasis by numbers labels it's being given too. My only gripes would be i'd change the lyrics in the chorus to flow a bit better and i'd make that euphoric solo a bit different at the end. Starts off like one of the best ever and starts to trail off a bit.
It's lightyears above most the stuff off the EPs bar Sail On and Dream Is All i Need

Little By Little is a terrible recording, but the song is anthemic, with a great bridge and a strong chorus It's not 90s level and maybe it was a deliberate attempt at writing a certain type of song, but in the end it's still one of the best thing Oasis did from SOTSOG onwards
This one won't ever get to that status, but I don't think it's just Noel by the numbers Could he do it in his sleep? Maybe, but that's just because he's extremely gifted when it comes to melancholic ballads and strong, simple melodies This is not throwaway, it holds its own melodically

At least the lyrics are better than Little by Little's. Not like that's an achievement, but still.

Yeah I don't think many people will be belting out 'Easy Now' in 20 years' time like they do LBL.
Just mean for this era of NG, I really like it. It's Noel by the numbers but the 2023 version, not the 2000s version.
It's familiar, but different at the same time.
