So yet another song was released yesterday for Noel Gallagher’s solo album. LA Radio Station, KROQ, posted this little gem up from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds album. ‘If I Had A Gun’ has already done the rounds in its bootleg form of a soundcheck that was recorded about 2-3 years ago, but this version is obviously much more completely and even more epic.
Instead of keeping it in its simplest guitar/vocals form, that you would have originally heard, there are swirling guitars and euphoric keys in the mix now too. So anyway have a listen and leave your comments underneath.
So at exactly 8.15am this morning, Noel Gallagher’s debut solo single got it’s first airing on BBC Radio 2. For some of you that follow me on Twitter will know I was just a tad excited this morning to hear what “The Chief” had to offer. I waited and waited and the time came, a rush of adrenaline and chills down my spine, then it arrived!!
Noel looking reflective!
Not knowing what to expect, as Noel as kept everything regarding his solo album very close to his chest. Amazingly very few people would have heard the single before this time, so it was fresh and new for millions of people on this Monday morning. So what are my thoughts……
A lot of talk about it not being Oasis, not being very Rock n Roll, but I just want to say have a listen to the last couple of Oasis albums and Noels input on them, The Chief has chilled out. He is writing more reflective and creative songs that push the imagination just that little bit more. “The Death Of You and Me” is full of epic hooks and is certainly a world away from classic Oasis. It’s dreamy, serene and simply magical with a touching sentiment that is uplifting and a perfect accompaniment to the summer.
Personally, I think it is a wonderful song, if I am being at my most honest, not what I was expecting, but I think that’s what Noel plans to do, surprise us! As the video says at the end….. To Be Continued
I will make this quick but just wanted to show my excitement for the confirmed information of Noel Gallaghers solo album. It has been a long time coming but it is finally here, so he is that information if you haven’t seen it already.
Noel Gallagher at Press Conference
Noel Gallagher has announced full details of his new solo debut album ‘High Flying Birds’ at a London press conference.
The ex-Oasis guitarist said his new record will be released on his own label Sour Mash on October 17 and will be followed up by a second collaboration LP in 2012 withAnonymous Androgynous.
Now I am fully aware this puts my Noel Gallagher tracklisting story to rest now! A couple of tracks of which have been included, but that aside, it is very exciting to hear there will be two albums released within a short space of time. Confirmation of his work with Amorphous Androgynous is interesting, because it was reported that his work with AA was something that his management company were not too keen on. Word from the studio was that it wasn’t commercial enough and that Noel should steer clear of it and just release the kind of album people would expect. It seems Noel has got his way however, so this writer can’t wait to hear what the collaboration will sound like.
As the wait is finally over, October cannot come soon enough. Welcome back Mr Noel Gallagher!
If you have never heard this before either, what was possible songs for this solo album….
