How true is this? And if it, how do we even know it's true? Sorry, it's probably been discussed many times on here. So if I've missed it, apologies!
From Wild-Organization352 on Reddit.
"Originally just a 3 chord instrumental jam written by Bonehead, Guigsy & Tony McCarroll & only used as a walk out tune for Liam to bowl out onto the stage to, Chris Griffiths of The Real People heard it & said this is too good a tune to just be an instrumental, he then came up with the "There we were, now here we are, All this confusion, nothings the same to me" bit & the "This is confusion, am I confusing you? This is peculiar, we don't want to fool ya" & the "Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs" at the end & then Liam came up with the "I can't tell you the way I feel, Because the way I feel is oh so new to me" chorus bit. The only bit Noel wrote in the whole song is the "What I Heard Is Not What I Hear, I Can See The Signs But They're Not Very Clear" line. In the credits on every version of Columbia out there the only name credited for the song writing is Noel Gallagher even though he didn't write the melody, the chords & only wrote one line of the song. Still an absolute belter of a tune though"
Always loved that "I can't tell you the way I feel, Because the way I feel is oh so new to me" lyric and delivery. Was it Liam?

What you typed up there...is the common heard story that no one has any reason not to believe.

Circa 96 I read Take Me There by Paul Mathur which certainly suggested some of the OP to be true

It’s likely that Columbia started life as an instrumental cover of this house tune from 1991:
They definitely had form for doing this, as they repurposed another house tune around the same time. Better Let You Know was essentially a cover of this:

Noel supposedly wrote the instrumental. That said it obviously rips 'Tortuga' by Axe Corner and may have started life as the band trying to simply cover the song in a manner similar to 'Feel the Groove' by Cartouche. So how much you can say the instrumental was written specifically by Noel is difficult to say. I'd imagine he'd have certainly arranged the song. 'Tortuga' was never a big hit so I'd guess their awareness of the song probably came from Noel who was a fan of house music from his time at the Haçienda. Indeed it was at the suggestion of Chris and Tony Griffiths that they turned the instrumental into a full song and Chris and Liam did indeed write those lines. |
