Thank god real music is still being written and produced by real artists. Thanks Noel...Don't go anywhere soon.

[@biancakaye2721]

He is like a unicorn. Don't see musicians like him anymore.

[@stampedechobass]

I am not sure that England is valuing as it deserves the tremendous cultural impact and the contribution to modern music, around the world, by this musical genius. John Lennon level, but modern people don't seem to realize it. Noel you're a livin' legend.

[@markweaver8529]

They do realise it. Noel is adored in the uk.

[@roomark2]

Calm down... He's good , but John Lennon good 😂 Nah

[@leemendez7876]

​@@roomark2I have to disagree. It's easy to put people in the past as untouchable. I'm a huge Beatles fan, they are musically the best band ever BUT this guy is the closest we have come to them in my opinion. His songwriting consistently is bang on it.

[@roomark2]

@leemendez7876 Pink Floyd , The Stones, Ashcroft, Orzabol the list goes on .. I liked Oasis saw them back in the day and seen both solo , but they lost it towards the end no matter what anyone says . I'm still gonna go and watch Noel in Manc next month but Lennon never in a month of Sundays Lennon/ McCartney influences are absolutely everywhere even today Oasis not so much .

I saw them in Franklin, Tennessee. Absolutely amazing show. His voice was perfect. The band was killer🔥

[@user-qw1tr1bn3h]

You know what , the first couple of times I heard pretty boy I wasn't sure I liked it but when he does it live it's really grew on me fuckin love it now ,, his songs always sound better live even in oasis , so roll on December 15th at genting arena going to see him for 3rd time and was lucky to see oasis twice!!!!!!

[@studioborgatta3504]

This is a great song... well done Noel!

[@Chapolinho316]

One hell of a tune and it doesn’t sound like anything he’s done before.

[@andrewwilson6666]

Beneath the starry sky Of a distant moon At the magic moment That's gonna come too soon There was a girl like me There was a boy like you She made him sing like Elvis When she's feeling blue You tell me that you want it, yeah-yeah You tell me that you need it, yeah-yeah You know you can't have it, yeah-yeah So get your head down, pretty boy You got the dreams of children You gotcha eyes of gold I hope you live to see them Before you get too old You tell me that you want it, yeah-yeah Tell me that you need it, yeah-yeah You know you can't have it, yeah-yeah So get your head down, pretty boy She was a lot like me She was a lot like you No matter what you say No matter what you do You bring the whole world down I'll make your dreams come true Tell me that you want it, yeah-yeah Tell me that you need it, yeah-yeah You know you can't have it, yeah-yeah So get your head down, pretty boy She was a lot like me She was a lot like you No matter what you say No matter what you do You bring the whole world down Can you delete my number? I wanna get me free I wanna change my star sign Because it don't suit me Because it don't suit me Because it don't suit me Because it don't suit me

its very simple he has completely outgrown Oasis music ....hes heading on the path where only genius's go.. fantastic

[@oasispain]

Even better than the studio version

[@lafleur84]

I saw him tonight , and I thought the exact same thing. His live performance of the new album is better than studio. That doesn't happen much in many concerts I go to

[@simontunnicliffe2107]

Yeah this song was my least favourite of the 4 singles Noel released from his new album but this performance completely changed my opinion. I still probably like the other 3 singles better but this definitely upped my liking or the song, great song.

[@TheBigDabrowski]

Yes!

Definitely Some magic happening here with Noel newest album. The battle of the best solo artist. Second round goes to Noel. Long may the battle continue. Also that backing singer she is memorizing

[@ustheserfs]

oasis was constricting to an extent, noel solo allows his direction to take him most anywhere. tune falls well outside of anything he could've created with liam taking lead.

[@qotda]

Looks like 2 members of oasis to on drums and guitar from don't believe era onwards . I see an gem archer and the drummer from dig out your soul 🎉

@@qotda playing in an entirely different style to what they did in the band. your rebuttal is weak.

A shout out to Jessica Greenfield and Russell Pritchard for the killer harmonies on this song. Im a singer /songwriter so I notice things that most people dont catch...Russ and Jessica really add a lot to the the vocals, on all the songs, but this live performance you can really hear how bad ass they are. Great chops, Im appreciating you all more and more as a full band because, they is a lot of talent from every member. I went to your show in Dallas...yes that damn hot weather, and cheered for you all, after every song. You sounded amazing as always.
